Does your brain turn to mush when you play on the computer too long?
No. While there may be some effects on cognition there is no physical harm to your brain. If your brain actually "turned to mush" you would die.
What may cause a future theory to be revised or discarded?
prediction
Why is it important to know heat can move?
The proper flow of heat is essential to many process and situations. Flow of too much heat from a person may cause hypothermia and death. Inadequate flow of heat from a person in the Summer may lead to heat stroke and death. Many processes require cooling and/or heating by heat flow. Inadequate heat transfer may limit a process or require shutdown of a process.

rubella
How may a stroke be prevented?
Strokes can often be prevented if someone visits a doctor for checkups. It is also helpful to keep normal blood pressure and refrain from smoking and drinking.
During a stroke blood flow to what vital organ is interrupted?
There are many issues that happen when someone has a stroke. Blood flow to the brain is interrupted and this may cause many problems. Brain damage is common and a stroke may result in the loss of life.
What is the cause of aphasia?
Aphasia is caused by a brain injury, as may occur during a traumatic accident or when the brain is deprived of oxygen during a stroke. It may also be caused by a brain tumor, a disease such as Alzheimer's.
Is brain stroke dangerous?
Yes, a brain stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to potential brain damage. It can be dangerous, as it may result in long-term disabilities or even death if not treated promptly. Prompt medical attention and appropriate treatment are crucial in improving outcomes for individuals who have experienced a stroke.
Can pulmonary hypertension cause a stroke?
High blood pressure is a risk factor for stroke. It puts pressure on the small vessels throughout the brain which in turn may rupture aswell as potentially causing a cholesterol plaque to dislodge travel through the brain and cause a vein or artery occlusion therby causing a stroke. So the answer is yes it can.
What illnesses may cause a lack of coordination?
There are a few illnesses that may cause a lack of coordination. A stroke could cause this as could a brain tumor, alcohol poisoning, wilson's disease or even chronic fatigue.
How do you get a blood clot in your brain?
A blood clot in the brain can cause a TIA, or transient ischemic attack, which causes a non-permanent loss of blood supply and oxygen to an area of the brain. Blood clots in the brain also cause stroke. If not corrected quickly, permanent brain damage will result. Clot "busters" are used to break up the clot and restore blood flow. If you suspect a stroke or TIA it is best to get to an ER.
Can you massage a stroke patient?
It is dangerous without a doctor's clearance. Strokes are caused by blood clots traveling through the veins to the brain. If there are clots elsewhere in the body they could be broken loose before they are dissolved, and travel to the brain to cause another stroke.
Can you catch a stroke when you are sleeping without a shirt on?
Sleeping without a shirt will not cause a stroke. And you can't "catch" a stroke; stroke isn't a disease. It's a malfunction in the brain, in which either blood vessels in the brain are blocked, or blood vessels break open; in either case, blood isn't reaching part of the brain, and the cells in that area will die. Depending on what areas of the brain are affected, the person may have difficulty moving some parts of the body, or will have difficulty speaking or seeing or remembering. Severe strokes can be instantly fatal.
What are the symptoms of a mini-stroke?
A mini stroke is caused by a clogged artery in the brain. When this happens, there is no blood supply going to that portion of the brain. As a result, brain tissue may be harmed, leading to a lost of function in the area controlled by that portion of the brain.
What does a stroke do to your body?
A stroke actually does nothing to the body. It affects the brain by stopping blood flow from reaching areas of the brain. This can result in damage to nerve fibers and whole areas of the brain. If, as a result of stroke, there is damage to areas of the brain it may damage the ability of the brain to send messages to the body. Therefore, strokes can leave people with varying levels of disability. Damage to the right side of the brain will affect functioning on the left side of the body and vice versa. Additionally, language is primarily mediated by the left side of the brain. Therefore, someone who suffers a stroke on the left side of the brain may suffer from varying levels of language impairment. If someone suffers a stroke and loses the ability to control muscles, over time, lack of use of the muscles will result in atrophy. In this way strokes can have an indirect effect on more remote parts of the body.
How can a stroke kill you?
Yes a stroke can kill you. A stroke happens when there is a lack of blood flow to the brain. When there is no blood, there is no oxygen and the brain cells start to die, causing a stroke or death of brain tissue. Where in the brain the stroke happens and how long the brain goes without blood can make a difference as to how bad the stroke is.
When the blood supply to part of the brain is suddenly shut off?
Depending on the duration of the lack of oxygen, as well as the location, part of the brain may "die", rendering that portion of the brain inoperable. This is also known as a stroke.
