Subarachnoid hemorrhage

Human Brains Causes of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Chanda Bajracharya February 9, 2018 Midwestern State University Abstract The anatomical study of the brain is known as neuroanatomy, whereas the study of their function is known as neuroscience. The human brain is an extraordinarily powerful organ of the body. It helps to function all the body parts and the amazing fact is it weights around three pounds only. It is covered by the skulls. The largest part of the human brain is cerebrum. Human brain is interconnected with numbers of neurons. It is also known as a package of human emotions. Human brain is made up of cerebrum, cerebellum and the brainstem. Neuroimaging methods shows the variations in brain activity and the function of those specific brain areas. There are different types of neuroimaging systems such as CT Scan, MRI, fMRI. Brains can be divided into four lobes and has different functions. Frontal lobe which is the front part of the brain is related with intelligence, personality, voluntary muscle and emotions. Parietal lobe has the function associated with movement, orientation, attention, and spatial location. Occipital lobe the located in the back part of the skull and functions in a visual processing. Temporal lobe helps in…

Introduction Stroke is considered as a common cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. 1,2,3 In addition, it has 2 major subtypes, hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. The ischemic stroke is the commonest followed by subarachnoid, intraventricular and intracerebral hemorrhages. 1,4,5,6,7 According to the literature, the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage is 25 to 30%. 1 Treatment in the form of endovascular coil embolization or clipping is performed to decrease the risk of death. 1…

Many people have a memorable event that shapes their lives; unfortunately, I was in a coma for mine. In February 2012 -- mid-way through my freshman year -- I suffered a brain aneurysm. There were no big warning signs, no red flags...just a nagging headache two days before. I went to sleep one night, and woke up two days later in a hospital room, surrounded by a dozen strange people, with a breathing tube down my throat...and everyone telling me to RELAX. Are you kidding me?! The good news is…

compromise function of the frontal brain networks resulting in cognitive and behavioral deficits. FTNCD is a common cause of dementia among patients’ ages 45 – 65 years. This group of neurodegenerative conditions is characterized by progressive and relatively selective atrophy of frontal lobes, temporal lobes, or both, and deterioration in behavior and personality or in language abilities culminating in dementia (DynaMed, 2016). Vascular neurocognitive disease (VND) This spectrum of cognitive…

The injuries sustained in the Niles v City of San Rafael were foreseeable. The injuries resulted from the commission and the omission of act from the defendants. There was negligence in the city’s supervision of the school playground and medical malpractice at Mt. Zion Hospital. The medical negligence was nonfeasance meaning there was a failure to act when there is a duty to act as a reasonability to safeguard a person rights. The Plaintiff was an innocent party whom rights were violated by the…

in turn lowers the ICP (Urden el at., 2014). Repositioning the patient, also aids in lowering the ICP at 5 minutes as mention by Olsen et al. (2013). Therefore, it is an important nursing intervention. Furthermore, it is important for the nurse to administer mannitol if the physician has order it. Mannitol is a osmatic agent which aids reduction of ICP by decreasing the edema. Next, it is important for the nurse to administrate sedation and analgesia to promote comfort and to prevent pain…

therefore, results in death of parts of brain tissue. The other kind of stroke is hemorrhagic stroke, which is caused by bleeding. Hemorrhagic strokes include bleeding in the brain, called intracerebral hemorrhage and bleeding between inner and outer layers of tissue that covered the brain, called subarachnoid hemorrhage.…

brain, coma, and/or paralysis. A subarachnoid hematoma (SAH), also known as a subarachnoid hemorrhage, is bleeding in the space between the brain, and thin tissues covering the brain. This area is known as the subarachnoid space. Different causes of this type of hemorrhage include bleeding from a tangle of blood vessels called an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), bleeding from a cerebral aneurysm, head injury, and the use of blood thinners. Symptoms include double vision, irritability,…

is caused by an excess of CSF in the intracranial cavity (Blumenfeld, 2010 p. 155). Hydrocephalus can result from an excess of CSF production, obstruction of flow at any point in the ventricles or subarachnoid space, or a decrease in reabsorption via arachnoid granulations (Blumenfeld, 2010 p. 155). Excess CSF production as the cause of hydrocephalus is very rare and is only seen in cases of certain tumors, such as choroid plexus papilloma (Blumenfeld, 2010 p. 156). A more common cause of…
