0.467 -> made by ph/ Rayan Mahmoud faculty of pharmacy , alexandria university
13.946 -> a stroke occurs when the blood flow in part of your brain is blocked
21.513 -> after just few minutes the starved brain cells begin to die
34.773 -> normally the brain recieves blood via two major pairs of arteries
41.518 -> which branch to brain tissue
45.567 -> and supply your brain cells with a constant flow of oxygen , glucose and nutrients
52.701 -> necessary for their functions
62.208 -> in one type of stroke " ischemic stroke "
67.947 -> an artery in your brain narrows
72.223 -> or becomes completely blocked preventing normal blood flow
79.512 -> the blockage may be caused by blood clot also called a thrombus
84.209 -> which forms in unhealthy artery of the brain
90.211 -> the lockup of blood flow causes the tissue the artery supplies to be come starved or ischemic
98.899 -> similarly the blochage may be due to " embolus " a blood clot that forms elsewhere in the body
107.43 -> and travels to the brain
114.288 -> the embolus lodges in a narrowered artery and abstructs blood flow
128.61 -> immediate treatment for stroke may help minimize the brain cell injury and death
137.511 -> if you have an ischemic stroke
141.265 -> you may be given medication to break up the clot causing your stroke
148.625 -> later your doctor may recommend surgery
152.853 -> such as carotid endarterectomy to reduce your risk of having another ischemic stroke
