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]
Clonidine acts on the central nervous system to inhibit the sympathetic nervous system, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. It is commonly used to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks by treating high blood pressure, anxiety and panic disorders. It also leads to decreased norepinephrine release from the sympathetic nerve terminals. [11]
Yoga may reduce anxiety and could be included as part of patient-centred stroke rehabilitation. [195] Further research is needed assessing the benefits and safety of yoga in stroke rehabilitation. Action observation physical therapy for upper limbs
Conversion disorder presents with symptoms that typically resemble a neurological disorder such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, hypokalemic periodic paralysis, or narcolepsy. The neurologist must carefully exclude neurological disease, through examination and appropriate investigations. [14]
However, the mutation causes accumulation of this protein within small to medium-sized blood vessels. [19] This disease often presents in early adulthood with migraines, stroke, mood disturbances, and cognitive deterioration. MRI shows white matter changes in the brain and also signs of repeated strokes. The diagnosis can be confirmed by gene ...
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.
Amygdala (in red) brain structures linked to anxiety disorders. The pathophysiology of GAD is an active and ongoing area of research often involving the intersection of genetics and neurological structures. [9] Generalized anxiety disorder has been linked to changes in functional connectivity of the amygdala and its processing of fear and ...
