Brain Stroke

Background. Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease (cerebral blood vessel) that is characterized by impaired brain function due to damage or death of brain tissue due to reduced or blocked blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Stroke is influenced by several factors, namely risk factors that cannot be controlled, and risk factors that can be controlled. Risk factors that cannot be controlled include age, gender, smoking habits, and risk factors that can be controlled consisting of a history of hypertension, a history of diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia. Todetermine the description of the level of consumption of vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid in Stroke Patients Hospitalized in the BRSUD of Tabanan Regency. Research Methods. The type of research conducted is Descriptive Observational. Research Result. Based on age, as many as 5 people (71%). ≥ 55 years old. The sex of the most subjects having strokes was women with 4 people (57%). Distribution of the type of work of the subject is entrepreneur as many as 4 people (57%), civil servants 1 person (14%) and not working as many as 2 people (29%). Nutritional status of 1 person (14%) malnutrition, 1 person (14%) overweight, and 5 people (72%) good nutrition. Subjects with a history of hypertension were 6 people (86%), and those with a history of hypercholesterolemia as many as 2 people (29%). Subjects who had smoking habits were 1 person (14%). The level of consumption of Vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid in stroke patients, it is known that all subjects have a low consumption level (<80%) with details of vitamin B6 (4.50%), B12 (0.29%), Folic Acid (20, 0%). Conclusion. From this study all patients who suffered strokes consumed less vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid.

History Of

A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out to analyze prevalence of risk factors for stroke in hospitalized patient in a medical college hospital. 100 patients were chosen using purposive sampling technique. Highest incidence of stroke was between the 6th and 7th decade. Patients came from both urban (54%) and rural (46%) areas and most of them belong to the low-income group (47%). In occupational category; service holder (28%) and retired person (21%) were the highest groups. Most of the study subjects were literate (63%). CT scan study revealed that the incidence of ischaemic stroke was 61% and haemorrhagic stroke 39%. Analysis indicated hypertension as major risk factor for stroke (63%) and major portion of the patients (42.85%) were on irregular or no treatment. Twenty four percent of the patients had heart diseases and out of 24 patients 45.83% were suffering from ischaemic heart disease. The present study detected diabetes in 21% patients. Fifty three percent of the study subjects were smoker, 39% patients had habit of betelnut chewing. Out of 26 female patients, only 23% had history of using oral contraceptives. Majority of the patients were sedentary workers (46%). Thirty seven percent of the stroke patients were obese. Among the stroke patients 9% had previous history of stroke and 3% had TIA respectively. Most of the patients (21%) were awake while they suffered from stroke and the time of occurrence was mostly in the afternoon (46%). This study found that hypertension, cigarette smoking, ischaemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus are the major risk factors prevalent in our community while other risk factors demand further study.

Objective: To find out the pattern of CHD and associated risk factors among children presenting at a tertiary care hospital. Study Design: A case-control study. Place and Duration of the Study: The Department of Pediatrics and Department of Cardiology, Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Hospital, Rawlakot from July 2020 to June 2021. Material and Methods: A total of 207 children of both genders, screened by ECG along with chest x-ray and further confirmed with the diagnosis of CHD through echocardiography were enrolled as cases. Same number of healthy controls (n=207) were recruited from immunization center of the study institution. Among cases, types of CHD were noted. For cases and controls, demographic, antenatal and maternal risk factors including maternal age, gender of the child, history of consanguinity, history of febrile illness in pregnancy, use or multi-vitamin or folic acid in pregnancy, bad obstetrical history and maternal diabetes mellitus were noted. Results: In a total of 414 children (207 cases and 207 controls), there were 219 (53.8%) male. In terms of CHD types among cases, VSD was the most noted in 62 (30.0%), ASD 35 (16.9%), TOF 33 (15.9%) and PDA in 30 (14.5%). Cases were found to have significant association with younger age (78.3% cases below 1 year of age vs. 64.7% in controls, p=0.0085), bad obstetrical history (p=0.0002), history of febrile illness in 1st trimester of pregnancy (p=0.0229) and lack of multivitamins and folic acid in the 1st trimester of pregnancy (p=0.0147). Conclusion: Majority of the children with CHDs were male and aged below 1 year. VSD, ASD, TOF and PDA were the most frequent types of CHD. Younger age, bad obstetrical history, history of febrile illness in 1st trimester of pregnancy and lack of multivitamins and folic acid in the 1st trimester of pregnancy were found to have significant association with CHDs among children. Keywords: Congenital heart disease, echocardiography, ventricular septal defect.

Background: Recent nationally representative studies of stroke patients have revealed that vascular risk factors are not as aggressively controlled in women compared to men. Medically underserved minority populations are at particularly high risk for poor control of vascular risk factors; however, little is known about sex differences in this population. Methods: Sex-specific vascular risk factors and admission medications were assessed for 440 consecutive ischemic stroke patients (39% female) admitted to a safety-net public hospital in Los Angeles County. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine sex differences in vascular risk factors, adjusting for age and race. Results: The mean age was 58.9 (SE 10.6) years, 58% were Hispanic, 7% were white, 13% were black, 20% were Asian, and 1% were Native American. Stroke classification (using modified TOAST) revealed the following distribution: 35% small vessel, 20% large vessel, 7% cardioembolic, 23% cryptogenic, 13% >1 possible etiology, and 3% other mechanisms (e.g. drug use). Women had higher mean glycosylated hemoglobin levels than men (8.0% vs 7.4%, p<0.01) and were more likely than men to have a history of type 2 diabetes (49% vs. 40% male, p=0.04), systolic blood pressure > 140 mm Hg (72% vs. 62%, p=0.03), total cholesterol > 200 mg/dL (46% vs. 36%, p=0.04), and low HDL levels (<40 mg/dL for men and <50 mg/dL for women)(83% vs. 79%, p <0.01). Men were more likely than women to have a previous history of stroke (19% vs. 13%, p = 0.05), smoking (49% vs 19%, p<0.01), and alcohol abuse (28% vs. 7%, p<0.01). After adjustment for race and age, women were more likely than men to have total cholesterol > 200 mg/dL (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.05-2.31), BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.03-2.34), systolic blood pressure >140 mm Hg (OR 1.46, 95% CI 0.96-2.22), low HDL (1.26, 95% CI 0.76-2.08), and triglyceride level > 150 mg/dL (OR 1.09, 95% CI 0.74-1.63); however, the latter 3 were not significant. After adjustment for race and age, men were more likely than women to have a history of smoking (OR 4.54, 95% CI 2.78-7.14) and alcohol abuse (OR 5.56, 95% CI 2.86-11.11). Conclusions: In this multi-ethnic population with inadequate access to care, women are more likely than men to have obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia while men are more likely than women to smoke or abuse alcohol. Larger studies are necessary to validate these findings. In the meantime, interventions aimed at reducing the incidence of metabolic syndrome components among women and smoking and alcohol abuse among men in underserved communities are likely warranted.

Background: The emergence of nutritional problems in toddlers is influenced by many interrelated factors. Directly influenced by some things, the toddler is not getting enough nutritious food balanced at the age of toddlers, the child does not get adequate nutritional care and children suffer from infectious diseases. Poverty is also one of the causes of malnutrition in regard to availability and consumption of family food. Less or worse nutritional problems and stunting are certainly required early detection attempts. Early detection of children's growth is an activity/examination to early find the existence of growth irregularities in infants The purpose of research: to do the growth factor: Nutrition Status, event Stunting in toddler  aged < 5 years in the work area Puskesmas Sidomulyo Pekanbaru. Research method: The sample used in this research is a toddler in Sidomulyo Puskesmas work area which amounted to 30 toddlers 12-59 months with Consencutive sampling technique. The study took place in December 2019.    Research instruments are digital weight scales, body length meters, Midline and questionnaires. Data analysis using the Rank Spearman. Research result: Classification of nutritional problems in infants based on the BB/U majority is BB less (underweight) 19 Reponden (63.3%). On a short (stunteed) majority, 14 respondents (46.7%), and based on the majority of the BB/TB of Good Nutrition (Normal) 17 respondents (56.7%). There are factors that affect the problem of nutritional status and stunting in children, from the knowledge aspect obtained by 16 respondents (53.3%)  Less knowledgeable, the majority of maternal education was 19 (63.3%), there were a history of 23-person disease infections (76.7%), and a low family income of 20 people (66.7%) and incomplete immunizations as much as 17 people (56.7%). There is a relationship factor of mother knowledge with the problem of nutrition (stunting) (0.00), there is a relationship factor mother education with the problem of nutrition (stunting) (0.00), there is a relationship factor family income with nutrition (stunting) (0.001), there is a relationship factor of infection history in infants with stunting problems (0.00), there is a relationship factor immunization history with the problem of the nutrient (stunting) (0.010). It is expected that the health workers further improve the counseling and education to the toddler mother in monitoring nutritional problems and growth of toddlers

Background: An event of stroke can be ignited by a number of risk factors, some of which are nonmodifiable and some are modifiable. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, different heart diseases, hyperlipidemia and smoking belong to the latter group and their prevalence shows immense diversity worldwide. In this study we tried to identify the most prevalent risk factor for stroke. Categorization of various types of stroke and history of noncompliance in medication has also been evaluated. Methods: This direct observational study was carried out on 400 patients of stroke admitted in different medicine units of Dhaka Medical College Hospital from July to December, 2007. Only patients having clinical diagnosis of stroke, confirmed by CT scan or MRI, were recruited. Patients were grouped into ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke or sub arachnoid hemorrhage. Results: The male, female ratio was found 1.2:1. In the study cerebral infraction, intra cerebral hemorrhages (ICH) and sub arachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were found in 56.25%, 38.25% and 5.5% patients respectively. In case of Ischemic stroke and ICH males were predominantly affected but in case of SAH females were predominant. Among patients, hypertension was found in 58.62% followed by smoking (53.79%), lipid disorder (48.01%), heart diseases (25.75%), diabetes mellitus (20.01%), and previous history of stroke (10.61%). 40% patients were on irregular use of antihypertensive drug and it was 17.5% in case of anti diabetic drugs. Major groups (42.44%) of patients have two modifiable risk factors. Conclusion: Stroke is better to prevent than to cure. Identification of risk factors is the only way to achieve this goal. Implementation of screening programme in community to identify risk factors and educate people about primary prevention should be initiated in this regard. This way, we can reduce morbidity and mortality among stroke patients and alleviate the burden of stroke.   doi:10.3329/jom.v10i3.2011   J Medicine 2009; 10 (Supplement 1): 18-21

Abstract Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAD) although more common in Asians, has not been studied from Singapore population. The aim of this study is to identify prevalence ICAD in stroke subjects, its association with comorbidities, stroke subtypes and long-term survival. We performed retrospective analysis of 681 stroke patients, 327(48%) had ICAD) with 232 (71%) having one or more intracranial artery with significant stenosis. ICAD was associated with older age, ischaemic strokes, total anterior circulation syndrome (TACS), large artery strokes (p<0.001), peripheral vascular disease (PVD, p=0.018), diabetes mellitus (DM), and with history of hyperlipidemia. In addition, higher serum potassium (p=0.046) and glucose (p<0.001), lower haemoglobin (p=0.040) and aortic valve sclerosis were significantly associated with ICAD (p<0.001). Multivariable analysis showed a significant independent association of ICAD with advancing age, history of hyperlipidemia and DM.In ischemic strokes (489), 311(64%) had ICAD of which 229(72%) had significant stenosis. Of the 192 hemorrhagic strokes, 16 (8%) had ICAD.Conclusion: The prevalence of ICAD, especially in ischemic strokes, from our study is high. As modifiable risk factors such as hyperlipidemia and DM appear to be associated with ICAD, then proactive management of these conditions may improve long term associated complications. Prospective studies may help to validate our findings.

Background: Anaemia in pregnancy is one of the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality in India and world. Anaemia in pregnancy continues to be a problem in spite of national programs for its prevention and control. It accounts for 1/5th of maternal deaths worldwide and 16% in India and is the major factor responsible for low birth weight, abortions, premature birth, and post-partum haemorrhage. Hence determining the status and factors influencing anaemia among pregnant women is essential to treat and prevent the same. Objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors associated with anaemia among pregnant women.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 200 pregnant women attending for antenatal care at KIMS OPD from 3rd June to 4th July. A pretested, semi-structured questionnaire was applied to collect data. Haemoglobin estimation was done by Sahli’s method.Results: Prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women was found to be 81%; majority had moderate anaemia 57%. The mean age of pregnant women in the study is 24.55 years and 46.5% belong to lower socioeconomic status, 43% lived in joint families. Factors influencing anaemia were multi-parity, short inter-pregnancy interval, no history of recent deworming and iron and folic acid tablets intake.Conclusions: In the present study, the prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women was found to be very high i.e., 81% especially among illiterates, low income groups, multiparous women, short inter-pregnancy interval, no history of recent deworming and iron and folic acid tablets intake.

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an uncommon medical complication after stroke. Predisposing factors include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with hemiplegia or an underlying hypercoagulable state. However, little information is known regarding PE in stroke patients. Objective: We evaluated clinical characteristics, predisposing factors, and outcomes in stroke patients who developed PE. Methods: We included patients with an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted to the participating institutions in the Registry of the Canadian Stroke Network between 2003 to 2008. Pulmonary embolism was diagnosed by nuclear imaging within 30 days of the stroke case index. Demographic data and clinical variables were collected. Logistic regression and survival analyses were completed to determine the association of risk factors with the outcomes of interest. Outcome Measures: primary outcome was death or disability at discharge defined as the modified Rankin scale >3. Secondary outcomes include admission to the Intensive Care Unit, disposition, and length of hospital stay, death at 3 months and at 1 year. Results: Among 11,287 patients with AIS, PE was found in 89 (0.78%) of patients. The development of PE was associated with higher risk of death in 30 days (25.8%vs 13.6%;p <0.001) and 1 year, (47.2% vs 24.6%;p <0.001). Disability was also more common in stroke patients with PE (85.4% vs 63.6% without PE; p <0.001). Mean length of stay was longer in stroke patients with PE (36 vs 16 days; p<0.001). Past medical history of cancer or deep vein thrombosis, history of cardiac arrest or deep vein thrombosis during admission were associated with PE. After adjustment, PE was associated with lower survival at 30 days (p value = 0.0012) and 1 year (p value < 0.0001) (Figures 1 & 2 represent survival function). Conclusions: In this large study, PE occurs in approximately 1% of AIS patients. PE was associated with higher disability, longer length of stay and lower short and long-term survival.
