Essay on Heat Stroke

Occupational Therapy Practice in Hospital-based Stroke Rehabilitation? I chose this article because I am very interested in learning more about the rehabilitation process and how effective that process is for stroke victims. Also, I find the topic in this specific article interesting because it focuses on explaining the impact rehab can have on a person while in the hospital immediately following his or her stroke. This article, like the other articles I chose, focus on how Occupational Therapy…

“ A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients”(Mayo Clinic Staff). “Within an hour, the nerve cells in that area of the brain become damaged and die. As a result, the part of the body controlled by the damaged area of the brain cannot work properly” (“Stroke”). Therefore, this leads to the different types of strokes, which are Acute Ischemic stroke and Hemorrhagic stroke. “ In an ischemic stroke,…

Discuss the neurological implication of a stroke and the role it plays in generating a treatment plan. A stroke is basically when the blood supply to the brain stops. The brain needs oxygen to survive and blood has oxygen in it, so if there’s no blood reaching the brain then there’s no oxygen reaching the brain either. This would cause the brain slowly to lose all its functions and eventually the person will die if it goes untreated. The person would slowly lose all their bodily functions…

An Effective Application of Paterson and Zderad Theory in a Hypertensive Patient Hypertension is defined as a high blood pressure that is characterized by a systolic blood pressure that is greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure than is greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg. Undeniably, Hypertension is on the rise in Canada, its prevalence is one in five adult Canadians and 25% of Canadians as of 2012 (Lewis, 2014). Not to mention, several other risk factors, both modifiable…

tumors and miscellaneous tumors. A stroke is defined as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), cerebrovascular insult (CVI) is when poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death. It disrupts the blood flow. Risk factor includes a heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, diabetes, smoking, obesity. Strokes can be visualized unto two types ischemic or hemorrhagic. Ischemic is caused due to lack of blood flow. Hemorrhagic is due to bleeding. Signs and symptoms of a stroke may include an inability to…

Introduction: about 9% of acute ischemic strokes are complicated with myocardial infarction, and about 2-6% of acute anterior wall myocardial infarctions are complicated with stroke. They occur at the same time or with a difference of several days. Case report: The patient is 47 years old female who had diagnosed lumbar disc disease and constant numbness in her left leg. The disease started with a permanent feeling of weakness in her left leg and transitory numbness in her left arm; at the same…

A stroke is a disease that affects the arteries that lead to and/or are located within the brain. Strokes are the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of disabilities in the United States.1 The types and degree of disabilities that result from strokes will depend on the type of stroke that has occurred and what part of the brain was damaged. Likewise, the rehabilitation regimes are individualized, revolving around the specific abilities that were affected by the stroke. A stroke…

life span, a human will experience extreme variations in temperature. Due to the weather conditions we face it is common to reach temperatures that are below the average temperature. When the body experiences low temperatures it will begin to lose heat and the normal functions begin to reduce causing many issues. According to Canadian Medical Association Journal, “Hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature of 35°C (95°F) or lower. It should be treated as a medical emergency. Shivering is…

Thermal effect results from the change in the heat capacity of the gases in the combustion chamber. It is worth mentioning that EGR contains water and CO2 which have higher specific heat capacity than air. The change in absorbing heat is proportional to the added mass, to the heat capacity at constant pressure and to the difference in temperature between the EGR and the combustion temperature. ΔQ=Δm*Cp*(Tcom-Tegr) The change in specific heat capacity results from charge dilution and represents…

cholesterol or high blood pressure. Over time, a clutter of cholesterol and white blood cells make a panel in the artery. The symptoms do not usually show until older age, but it can cause pain or blood clots. This disease can also cause people to have strokes. Most of the treatments are actions people need to do or stop doing. A way to prevent is a person could exercise more, eat more fruits and vegetables, or stop smoking if they smoke. Another way doctors treat it is by giving medicine to…
