อ่านหน้านี้เป็นภาษาไทย

     Hello , We have learned the importance of the brain in previous article yet . And some serious diseases of the brain also . So today we will learn the first symptoms of cerebral vascular disease . The symptoms and different of cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism or blockages .

     1. Cerebral thrombosis. We can found many patient for this type . Often causing paralysis symptoms half side (left or right side of the body is only one side) will meet with the very elderly and patients diabetes . The severity depends on the location of venous thrombosis . Some of venous thrombosis has a large but not make much severe symptom . But another venous thrombosis is just a small vessels but made severe disability . That would depend on their luck . But even more frightening, but if you have knowledge and have read this article will be reduced disability or escape from disability like miracle . I chose to start from this first. It believes that can help everybody escape from disability .

     I will explained the cause for a bit more detailed . We need to have more basic knowledge and understanding of this disease . In the beginning would know that this disease often occur with aging and patients with diabetes. In the elderly, I would not say much , because it is a degeneration of the body. We do not have to change anything . But I will focus more on diabetes. The Thai people are now crowded together. We changed the behavior of food from the past. But it would have a lot of detail for Diabetes , so may i excuse to write it in next chance .
     The cerebral thrombosis symptoms suspected in following detailed :
  • Dizzy (some feel that the environment to be rotated. If anyone ever play a round yourself rotate each session children will feel like that ) , which is different from the dizzy like you had before in your life.
  • Vomiting often occur in conjunction with the dizzy. Sometimes vomiting and ejaculation .
  • Tongue-tied tongue, difficulty moving the tongue to swallow food, tingling . The only water will suffocate immediately. Some people could not be spoken .
  • Wry mouth to either of the two. Some one-sided eyelid fall. May have some neck tilt .
  • Limb tingling (like a stick) has moved gradually from hard to be weak of your limbs but only half of the body (left or right).
  • Unable to rising to stand and walk away . It don't have the same strength.
  • Some people have above symptoms and plus unconsciousness.
     If you or a loved one that you have not just as uptight . The following are asked to perform.
  • If you do not lose consciousness. Try to survey yourself quickly that any parts is weak? because most are only one side of body . You also left another body available to use .
  • Call the nearest person immediately. Or use any other blast. In case you can't say anything.
  • Do not drink water or eat because it could choke down to the lungs. Will make symptoms worse .
  • Brought to the hospital immediately. In this section the most important . I do not recommend the hospital nearest to your living place first . Because this will reduce disability , disability has saved you need to get the correct diagnosis and treatment within first 3 hours after the symptoms occur .
     Important 3 hours is a time some brain ischemia could be recovery if treated with enough blood and oxygen . Some people take to the hospital near home, but has not been monitoring and evaluation or treatment of any critical period is 3 hours away it means to becomes disabilities .

     So I suggest that hospitals can take to make immediate assessment. A medical examination and have the tools (the CT Scan and MRI) also some hospitals in Bangkok to have a specific criteria for patients suspected disease, stroke can cause lasting already logged in drug screening within 3 hours . Hospitals in this criteria as I remember is Ramathibodi Hospital, Siriraj Hospital, Rajvithi Hospital and the private hospital should be Bumrungrad Hospital . For the nearest hospital to your home , you will have to ask for the specific criteria . For preparing you and your family to get to know what is the hospital where can help you escape from disability .

     Next time we will know the cerebral embolism , the silent killer .

      First acquaintance with the brain .
"Brain is the main organ that helps control body movement,emotion, memory, speaking , intelligence , work of the heart and internal organs all the time. "
      So it works everything and everytime. This is a fantastic organ of us. Today we know that how the brain's work less than the space discovered. The brain must work all the time and it would require more oxygen and energy than other organs. Which substances to use the brain power that is Glucose, the single molecule of sugar .Our body send oxygen and glucose to the brain via the vascular only. If there have some problem with the vascular system is like we are driving a car with no gasoline. When the irregularities of delivery of the oxygen and glucose. Brain will stops working immediately. And will totally stop working around 4-5 minutes after ischemia, become brain-dead that means working of whole body would stop also . When the brain was dead the physician could be guarantee that man die , too .

      Stroke is the malfunction of the blood vessels of the brain . We can categorizes to 3 types :
     1.Ischemic stroke and arteries embolism .
      2. Hemorrhagic stroke.
      3. Cerebral aneurysms.

     Any types can make us to be disabilities , most often made a permanent disability . If we do not prevent or treat the symptoms immediately. They are quite dangerous disease and risk of disability is also possible. Although not the first rank of disease that make Thai people dead . But when it happened, we can say. " Even not dead but disabled for sure" . If someone went to hospital frequently , will see those patients to do physical therapy over a half numbers of them is neurological symptoms . Making many hospitals have a team of physiotherapist and doctor to work in this field . Also , i took care many stroke patients. Some people began nearly 10 years and spent the most time on the bed . So i think you don't want it happen to yourself or someone you love certainly .

      Believe that everyone who has read the previous posts no one would want disabled . So we learn to get to know how to prevent deformation . Disability is "losing the ability to live daily with some or all of their own, whether temporarily or permanently". We can concern the person with a disability or not, we can see from their activities daily life . We often compare the ability of daily life that people do that before the illness . Very simply, when they can not help themselves as before illness. Trends and conditions will not improve soon. We also considered a disabled person . example: The normal diet you can capture spoon scoop rice enter your own mouth. But after the illness, you can not capture the same spoon to eat rice. Can not chew or swallow food normally. Or unable to sit, then use the spoon to own it is a condition of total disability . However, symptoms may vary with the diseases . We must get to know the condition of disability is to remind to everyone sees horror. And the importance of protection style .

      Now we come to the characterization of disability between . In fact, the share of disability can be divided into many way. But my article just divided into 2 types .
      1. Permanent disability . Or long-term diseases such as Stroke , Paralysis , Coronary Heart Disease , Degenerative Joint Syndrome, etc.. These diseases is still not completely recovered by current medical technology . In addition to violent death could be if not treated immediately. And sometimes symptoms of the disease is more severe if the diagnosis and treatment was not appropriate. Make patient care more difficult and more complex .
      2. Temporary disability . Is likely to return to normal. Or near normal. If treated properly fit. For example : Some types of nerve injury , Herniated Disc Syndrome , Temporary myocardial or cerebral ischemia (Transient Ischemic Attack), etc. Although such disease or condition is only temporary, but. we can not use a normal daily life. And some diseases are the warning signs of permanent disability in the future . Who are disabled in this way is considered lucky,but need to awareness . Because of your good fortune may be hidden within other serious diseases .

      I will try to present the way we can prevent disease for consistency and easy to understand. However, permission to say before I write that article was compiled from the experiences of experience with many patients. Therefore, some facts may not match the book or any textbook. Which ask you not to take as true. Please do not bring, or to reference in the event of a conflict with your physician . I believe in their examination and they certainly know better about your condition.

      In the next article I will describe the Stroke disease for prevention and treatment .
