  2. Osmotherapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotherapy

    Osmotic agents work by primarily affecting the blood brain barrier. [1] It's very important that the osmotic agents cannot cross the blood brain barrier because the main idea is to use osmotic agents to increase plasma osmolarity and cause an osmotic gradient to cause water from brain cells to flow into the plasma.

  3. Cerebrovascular disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrovascular_disease

    Atherosclerosis narrows blood vessels in the brain, resulting in decreased cerebral perfusion. Other risk factors that contribute to stroke include smoking and diabetes. [6] Narrowed cerebral arteries can lead to ischemic stroke, but continually elevated blood pressure can also cause tearing of vessels, leading to a hemorrhagic stroke. [4]

  4. Hypertension and the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertension_and_the_brain

    Hypertension is the leading cause of strokes and studies show that it increases the risk of a stroke by 220% [17] [18] and stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. [19] High blood pressure weakens arteries (small vessel disease) and causes blood vessels to be more likely to clog and/or burst.

  5. Cerebral infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_infarction

    Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [2]

  7. Brain ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_ischemia

    Brain ischemia has been linked to a variety of diseases or abnormalities. Individuals with sickle cell anemia, compressed blood vessels, ventricular tachycardia, plaque buildup in the arteries, blood clots, extremely low blood pressure as a result of heart attack, and congenital heart defects have a higher predisposition to brain ischemia in comparison to the average population.

  8. Hyperosmolar syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperosmolar_syndrome

    Hyperosmolar syndrome or diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome is a medical emergency caused by a very high blood glucose level.. The prefix "hyper-" means high, and "osmolarity" is a measure of the concentration of active particles in a solution, so the name of the syndrome simply refers to the high concentration of glucose in the blood.
