Browsing: Stroke
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients and leading to rapid cell death. It is a medical emergency that can result from a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke), with symptoms that may include sudden numbness, confusion, loss of coordination, or trouble speaking. The consequences of a stroke can range from mild to life-altering, depending on the location and severity of the damage. Research into stroke prevention, rapid diagnostics, and neurorehabilitation is critical to improving outcomes, understanding recovery mechanisms, and developing more effective treatments.
