Hadi ninapoandika post hii, nimethibitisha kuwa bado Mwanawasa yuko hai; hata hivyo, brain haemorrhage ni tatizo la hatari sana. Probability ya kupona kutokana na braini haemorrhage ni 50% na hasa inategemea mambo kadhaa ikiwemo promtness ya kumpatia matibabu, umri wa mgonjwa, na kama mgonjwa ana historia ya kuvuta sigara na kunywa pombe kwa wingi sana. Hata kama akipona, akili yake itakuwa imeharibika kwa kiasi fulani na atabaki na utaahira fulani maisha yake yote. Kuiweka katika lugha rahisi ni kuwa Mwanawasa hawezi kuendelea vizuri tena na madaraka yake kama rais wa Zambia; hata Ariel Shalon wa Israel alianza vivyo hivyo.
Hii wataalamu wanaita Cerebral Haemorrhage, hebu tupate kujua kidogo hii ni nini, kwa kusoma maelezo yafuatayo:
Cerebral haemorrhage
A cerebral haemorrhage is bleeding from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. Without prompt medical treatment, this can result in death. A person who survives may be left with permanent disabilities, depending on the location and severity of the brain damage. Cerebral haemorrhage is commonly referred to as a type of stroke.
Types of brain haemorrhage
The brain is wrapped in three membranes, each serving a different function. The innermost membrane contains the blood vessels. The brain is nourished and cushioned by cerebrospinal fluid, which is contained between this first membrane and the second membrane. The third and last membrane (dura) lines the inside of the skull and is comparatively thick and tough.
A intracerebral haemorrhage is any bleeding that occurs inside the brain tissue. Bleeding that occurs in the space between the first and second membranes around the brain is called a subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Symptoms:
The symptoms of a cerebral haemorrhage vary according to the location and severity of the bleeding, but may include:
Sudden onset of symptoms
Weakness
Clumsiness
Numbness or pins and needles of the face, arm or leg usually on one side of the body
Paralysis on one side of the body
Slurring speech or difficulty finding words
Severe headache
Nausea
Vomiting
Drowsiness
Unconsciousness
Dizziness
Difficulty walking or loss of balance
Confusion.
Strokes
Stroke or brain attack are non-medical terms used to describe the disruption of blood flow to the brain. This may be caused by cerebral haemorrhage (haemorrhagic stroke) or by blockage of an artery (ischaemic stroke). Approximately one in 10 strokes is caused by cerebral haemorrhage. This type of stroke (haemorrhagic stroke) is usually much more severe than ischaemic stroke.
Cerebral haemorrhage results in a collection of blood, which clots. This puts pressure on nearby brain tissue and restricts the delivery of oxygen and nutrients. If not reversed with treatment, this can cause permanent brain damage. The major risk factor for haemorrhagic stroke is long-standing high blood pressure (hypertension) that weakens the walls of blood vessels, which then may split under the pressure.
Other risk factors for stroke (ischaemic or haemorrhagic) include:
Cigarette smoking
Uncontrolled diabetes
Atherosclerosis
Obesity
A high fat, high cholesterol, high salt diet
Family history
Excessive alcohol consumption
Advancing age
Atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat).
Long-term outlook:
A cerebral haemorrhage is a life-threatening emergency. Without prompt medical treatment, death may result. A person who survives may be left with permanent disabilities, since the brain tissue near to the ruptured vessel will be damaged or destroyed. The disabilities depend on the location and severity of the haemorrhage. Children seem to recover better than adults, probably because of the relative immaturity of their developing brains.
If you suspect a cerebral haemorrhage, seek urgent medical attention. The faster you can get treatment, the better the outlook for recovery. Some people make an excellent recovery following a haemorrhagic stroke.
Ni hayo tu kwa ufupi.
hivyo kama Presda amepata severe attack uwezo wa kuongoza utakuwa mdogo san.
