Stroke (applexy) is a disease characterized by sudden fainting and unconsciousness, accompanied by a crooked mouth, difficulty speaking, and hemiplegia, or a disease without coma with only a crooked mouth and hemiplegia as the main clinical symptoms. Because the onset is sudden, the symptoms are multi-faceted, and the condition changes rapidly, which is similar to the characteristics of the wind's good deeds, so it is called stroke or apoplexy. The disease has a high morbidity and mortality rate and often leaves sequelae. In recent years, the incidence rate has been increasing, and the age of onset has tended to be younger. Therefore, it is a major disease that threatens human life and quality of life. Acute cerebrovascular diseases in Western medicine, such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral embolism, subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc., fall into the category of this disease. Western medicine divides this disease into two main categories: hemorrhagic and ischemic. Hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cerebrovascular malformation, and cerebral aneurysm can often lead to hemorrhagic stroke; rheumatic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and bacterial intracardiac Inflammation often leads to ischemic stroke. In addition, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, abnormal blood rheology and abnormal mood swings are closely related to the occurrence of this disease. Head CT and MRI examination can confirm the diagnosis. Stroke is a disease name in traditional Chinese medicine. It is also the collective name and common name for acute cerebrovascular diseases. Cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral infarction and other cerebrovascular accidents all fall into the scope of this disease. Stroke is a simple explanation. 1. Sudden feeling of numbness, weakness, crooked mouth, and drooling on one side of the face or upper and lower limbs. This is due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which damages the nerve pathways that control the trunk. 2. Sudden difficulty in speaking or understanding other people's words. This is due to insufficient blood supply to the cerebral cortex, which affects the language center. 3. Feeling dizzy suddenly and shaking unsteadily. This is due to insufficient blood supply to the cerebellum, which affects its balance function. The above-mentioned signs may be temporary and disappear after a while, or they may recur or gradually worsen. 4. Temporary unconsciousness or drowsiness. 5. An unbearable headache occurs. The headache changes from intermittent to continuous, or is accompanied by nausea and vomiting. This is often caused by a sudden increase in pressure within the arteries, which stimulates pain receptors in the blood vessel walls. This may be a sign of cerebral hemorrhage and should be paid special attention to. A new study shows that eating fruits and yellow-green vegetables every day may prevent stroke. There are two types of strokes, one is hemorrhagic stroke caused by rupture of blood vessels in the brain, and the other is ischemic stroke caused by blockage of blood vessels that prevents oxygen and nutrients from reaching the brain, also known as cerebral infarction. As early as 1980, Japanese researchers conducted a questionnaire survey on nearly 15,000 men and more than 23,000 women to learn about their usual consumption of yellow and green vegetables and fruits, and conducted long-term follow-up on them. Until 1998, 1926 people among the respondents died, 48 of whom died of cerebral infarction, 32 of whom died of hemorrhagic stroke, and the other 21 who died of stroke caused by other diseases. After excluding the influence of factors such as weight, smoking, alcoholism, education, familial hypertension, diabetes and heart disease, the study found that people who eat yellow and green vegetables every day have a higher mortality rate from stroke than those who eat vegetables only once a week. By 26%, men who eat fruit every day can reduce stroke mortality by 35% and women by 25%. Overall, regular consumption of fruits and vegetables does have a preventive effect on stroke. The principle of recovery after stroke is that the sooner, the better. While the patient is still receiving treatment in the hospital, family members should pay attention to protecting the affected limb and placing it correctly. Do not leave the affected limb in a straight or curled position for too long. If you maintain one posture for a long time, it will affect the health of the patient. Joint movement will have adverse effects. Do not press the affected side for a long time, as this may affect the smooth flow of blood vessels on the affected side. Hemiplegic patients generally stay in general hospitals for only two or three weeks, which is far from enough for the patient's recovery. The patient may be unable to move half or part of his body for some time. Therefore, during the patient's hospitalization and after discharge, family members should pay attention to helping the patient do some passive activities with the affected limb. Whether it is the large joints or small joints of the patient's body, they must often be helped to perform passive activities, but the movements must be gentle when moving the affected limb, especially when the affected limb has no strength at all and is very soft.
If the affected limb is pulled with great force, it may cause joint dislocation or limb damage. Patients who are able to walk can do some exercises, but avoid excessive exercise, especially for older patients, who cannot be tired. Some patients are so eager to practice that they are injured. Family members should not make the patient feel pain when helping the patient move. Family members should pay close attention when doctors and nurses perform rehabilitation training on patients, learn some rehabilitation training techniques, and also read some popular science books on stroke rehabilitation to achieve the purpose of helping patients recover. However, for families with conditions, it is best to let professional doctors or therapists help patients with rehabilitation training. In addition to rehabilitation exercises, you must also take medication strictly according to the doctor's instructions. The purpose of rehabilitation training is to help patients recover their lost limb functions to the greatest extent. After rehabilitation, most patients' limbs, language and other functions will be well improved, such as improving hand function and abnormal gait, and at the same time reducing shoulder pain. The occurrence of various complications such as hand syndrome. However, when some functions of patients are difficult to return to normal even after rehabilitation training, you can also consider equipping them with self-help appliances and orthotics to replace some of their lost functions to improve the patient's quality of life.
