  2. Hemorrhagic infarct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemorrhagic_infarct

    A hemorrhagic infarct is determined when hemorrhage is present around an area of infarction. Simply stated, an infarction is an area of dead tissue or necrosis. [1] When blood escapes outside of the vessel (extravasation) and re-perfuses back into the tissue surrounding the infarction, the infarction is then termed a hemorrhagic infarct (infarction). [1]

  3. Encephalomalacia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalomalacia

    Red softening is one of the three types of cerebral softening. As its name suggests, certain regions of cerebral softening result in a red color. This is due to a hemorrhagic infarct, in which blood flow is restored to an area of the brain that was previously restricted by an embolism. This is termed a "red infarct" or also known as red ...

  4. Infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infarction

    Infarction occurs as a result of prolonged ischemia, which is the insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrition to an area of tissue due to a disruption in blood supply.The blood vessel supplying the affected area of tissue may be blocked due to an obstruction in the vessel (e.g., an arterial embolus, thrombus, or atherosclerotic plaque), compressed by something outside of the vessel causing it ...

[1] Bleeding can occur internally , or externally either through a natural opening such as the mouth , nose , ear , urethra , vagina or anus , or through a puncture in the skin .

  7. Coagulative necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulative_necrosis

    Coagulative necrosis is a type of accidental cell death typically caused by ischemia or infarction. In coagulative necrosis, the architectures of dead tissue are preserved for at least a couple of days. [1] It is believed that the injury denatures structural proteins as well as lysosomal enzymes, thus blocking the proteolysis of the damaged cells.

    Holcomb blamed red tape for any delay in getting Jim and Anne their son’s records. “I tried to speed it up as much as I could, because I felt bad for the family,” he said. “I’ve been through that a lot in this field.” At some point, he said, he got a chance to read over Patrick’s records. He recognized a sadly familiar pattern of ...

    Non-traumatic causes of hemorrhage includes: hypertension, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, hemorrhagic conversion of ischemic infarction, cerebral aneurysms, dural arteriovenous fistulae, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, cerebral vasculitis and mycotic aneurysm. [3] More than half of all cases of intracranial hemorrhage are the result of ...
