Signs of a stroke include sudden weakness, confusion, vision problems, headache, dizziness, and numbness. Strokes happen when a blood vessel to the brain is blocked or bursts. If someone is showing signs of a stroke, immediately call 911. Preventing strokes involves moderating alcohol use, quitting tobacco, eating healthy, and exercising as 80% of strokes are preventable.

This document summarizes cerebrovascular disease and stroke. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a common cause of disability. Imaging such as CT and MRI are used to distinguish between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and identify underlying vascular abnormalities. Risk factors include age, hypertension, cardiac sources of embolism, and vascular diseases. Acute stroke is characterized by rapid onset neurological deficits localized to the brain region supplied by an occluded artery. Differential diagnosis includes tumors, infections, and seizures.Stroke

Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen. The two main types are ischemic, caused by blockage of an artery, and hemorrhagic, caused by a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and family history. Symptoms depend on the affected brain region and can include paralysis and cognitive impairments. Treatment focuses on dissolving clots or repairing ruptured vessels to restore blood flow. Nearly 800,000 Americans experience a stroke each year, making it a leading cause of disability and death.Sam stroke community_presentation_guide

May is National Stroke Awareness Month. The document provides information about stroke including:
- Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the US, with someone suffering a stroke every 40 seconds.
- Up to 80% of strokes are preventable through managing risk factors such as high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, smoking, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
- It's important to recognize the signs of stroke using the FAST test and call 911 immediately if someone is experiencing symptoms.Eye diseases Expo

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye disorders that cause damage to the optic nerve, leading to vision loss and potential blindness if left untreated. It is usually associated with abnormally high pressure inside the eye, though it can sometimes occur with normal pressure levels. Common types include open-angle glaucoma, which has no symptoms in early stages, and closed-angle glaucoma, where pressure rises quickly requiring surgery. Risk factors include age over 40, family history, and conditions like diabetes. Treatment aims to control eye pressure through medications, laser therapy or surgery to preserve vision. Regular eye exams are important for detection and management.Common Ocular Diseases (World Glaucoma Day)

This document discusses cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), also known as strokes. It defines CVAs and classifies them into four types: cerebral embolism, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and cerebral thrombosis. The signs and symptoms of each type are described. The emergency treatment for any suspected CVA is to stop dental treatment, monitor vital signs, administer oxygen, and call emergency services for transportation to the hospital. Dental teams should be prepared to recognize the signs of a potential CVA using the F.A.S.T. mnemonic and manage the emergency until the patient can receive medical care.Chapter 6: Diabetes

This document discusses diabetes and its management in the dental setting. It defines diabetes as a metabolic disease resulting from insufficient insulin. There are two main types: type 1 requires insulin injections while type 2 is usually managed through diet, exercise and oral medications. Complications can include hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, so dental staff must understand symptoms and emergency treatment for low or high blood sugar. The document outlines objectives, causes, classifications and management of diabetes as well as oral health implications for patients with diabetes.Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve and can cause blindness, usually due to abnormally high pressure in the eye. It is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over 60. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type and causes gradual vision loss, while acute angle-closure glaucoma is a medical emergency with symptoms like severe headache, eye pain, nausea, and blurred vision. Glaucoma has no symptoms in early stages so regular eye exams are important, especially for those with risk factors like high eye pressure, age over 60, family history, or certain medical conditions.Brian stoke

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen and causing them to die. The effects of a stroke depend on which part of the brain is injured. Strokes can cause temporary or permanent disabilities. There are two main types of stroke - ischemic, caused by a clot blocking an artery, and hemorrhagic, caused by a burst blood vessel. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, and older age. Prevention efforts focus on controlling risk factors through a healthy lifestyle and medications.Rheumatology in Kolkata

- McDonald criteria uses MRI to document dissemination of lesions in time and space for formal diagnosis of MS.
- Common ophthalmic manifestations include demyelinating optic neuritis (DON), eye movement palsies, nystagmus, and uveitis.

Glaucoma is a condition caused by excessive fluid pressure in the eyes that can damage the optic nerve and lead to blindness if left untreated. The two most common types are open-angle glaucoma, where fluid fails to drain properly from the eye over time, and angle-closure glaucoma, where the drainage angle is blocked. Symptoms often do not appear until permanent damage has occurred. While there is no cure, treatments exist to lower pressure and prevent further vision loss.Eye disorders

This document discusses various types of glaucoma including open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma. It describes risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for glaucoma. For primary open-angle glaucoma, the initial treatment options discussed include beta-adrenergic blockers, prostaglandin analogs, alpha-adrenergic agonists, topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and anticholinesterase agents. Treatment for angle-closure glaucoma focuses on medications like pilocarpine to reduce pressure and dilation of the anterior chamber angle.Multiple sclerosis & its ocular manifestations

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation, demyelination, gliosis, and neuronal loss that typically affects different areas of the central nervous system. The document discusses the pathogenesis of MS including perivascular cuffing, blood brain barrier disruption, astrocytic proliferation, and shadow plaques. It also covers the ocular manifestations of MS such as optic neuritis, internuclear ophthalmoplegia, nystagmus, and ocular motor nerve palsies. Risk of developing MS is about 50% after an acute episode of optic neuritis and 70% for patients with lesions on MRI. Treatment involves steroid therapy and immunomodulatory drugs.Congenital Heart Defects
