Arteries of the head and neck

Ischemic strokes can interrupt the perfusion to any part of the brain causing cell death. If the blockage is formed in the arteries that supply blood to the brain this is known as cerebral thrombosis. In cerebral embolism the clot forms in some other part of the body, usually the heart. The clot or part of it breaks loose and traveled through the bloodstream to the brain causing…

An Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) can be described simply as a tight rubber band ball of abnormal blood vessels with weak walls. These can be located anywhere in the body. Arteries carry blood containing oxygen from the heart to the brain. An AVM bypasses normal brain tissue and directs blood from the arteries to the veins without a capillary bed in between. Brain AVM’s occur in less than one percent of the population (per 100,000 people) and are more common in males than females. Being…

The smell is what she noticed first, a combination of sawdust and lemon cleaner that filled her nose with its gentle scent. Inhaling deeply, she allowed the breath to fill her entirely. Every space between the arteries in her veins down through the tips of her toes as she began to walk across the stage.

people was the microsurgical suturing device (stapler). This was also created by an Ottawan and a co-inventor; the co-inventor saw the damage from Joseph Stalin's prison system and decided to make a device that would allow for reconnecting severed arteries and…

in onset, last for about an hour or so, and then subside for some time before the next episode occurs.

Associated symptoms during these episodes include a leaky eye and a runny nose on the involved side and feeling restless and not being able to sit still. He denies any traumatic…

Overview Stroke and hemorrhagic stroke A stroke is a brain attack. It is caused when blood flow to an area of brain is cut off. Brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die. After that, abilities for the brain cells in that area to memory and muscle control are lost. There are two main kinds of strokes: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke is the main kind of strokes and it takes up to 80% of all strokes. It is caused by a blockage of blood flow of part of the brain…

Syncope Description of the pathology, syncope. According to the article written by the American Heart Association, Syncope (Fainting), syncope begins when blood does not carry enough oxygen to meet the demands of the body. Since there is a shortage of oxygen being sent throughout the body, the brain is unable to cope, and this will result in a loss of consciousness (2015). Syncope, in other terms, is another way to describe fainting. Syncope, in many cases, occurs from a low blood pressure.…

The temporomandibular joint is one of the most complex joints in the body. The procedure that we covered is total alloplastic joint replacement. Like any other procedure, reflection, incision, resection as well as re attachment of biological tissues is necessary for successful completion. In the case of the total replacement of the temporomandibular joint the musculature that is affected are the temporalis, lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid, masseter as well as buccinator. As for the tissues…
