Stroke is an acute disorder of cerebral circulation, characterized by the appearance of neurological symptoms that persist for more than 24 hours or lead to the death of the patient at an earlier date.

Stroke ranks third in the mortality rate of the population.

There are 2 types of stroke - ischemic and hemorrhagic.

The cause of ischemic stroke is thrombus formation, clots of blood substances enter the vessels of the brain and cause clogging. The cause of hemorrhagic stroke in 80% of cases is arterial hypertension.

Stroke is easier to prevent than to deal with complications and death, and for this it is necessary to fight risk factors:

1. Arterial hypertension is the most significant risk factor for stroke. You should try to reach a blood pressure level below 140/90 mm Hg. In patients with diabetes or renal insufficiency - below 130/90 mm Hg. Therapy is selected by a general practitioner, cardiologist. It is necessary to constantly take antihypertensive therapy and regularly monitor blood pressure. It is better to keep a diary, then it will be easier for you and your doctor to adjust the dose of the drug.
2. Atrial fibrillation is a risk factor for stroke and is the most common rhythm disorder hearts. For atrial fibrillation, aspirin or oral anticoagulants are recommended to prevent stroke.
3. Diabetes mellitus - increases the risk of stroke by 1.5 times. Strict control of blood sugar, adherence to diet, in combination with antihyperglycemic drugs or insulin is necessary.
4. Lipid disorders - statin use reduces the risk of stroke by 24%. Currently, statins are recommended for all patients with coronary artery disease and dyslipidemia.
5. Smoking - increases the risk of stroke by 1.5-2 times. Stopping smoking leads to a decrease in the risk of stroke after 2-4 years. Now there is an active promotion of a healthy lifestyle and a life without smoking. Cigarette packs are printed with horrifying pictures, BUT don't forget about secondhand smoke. One hour in a smoky room is equal to smoking 10 cigarettes. And one hour of hookah smoking is equal to smoking 100 cigarettes. It's never too late to quit smoking, think about it!
6. Alcohol abuse - alcohol restriction has been proven to reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 3 and 2 mm Hg, respectively. A complete rejection of alcohol in a month by 7.3 / 6.5 mm Hg.
7. Fight obesity - Eat a healthy, balanced diet. It has been proven that abdominal obesity is considered the most dangerous. Avoid drastic weight loss. Proper nutrition should be a way of life.
8. Physical inactivity - regular exercise reduces the risk of stroke. The loads should be dynamic (swimming, walking, jogging). Exercise should be started with a minimum load, gradually increasing it. The regularity of classes and the instructor's control are important, at least in the first 5-10 classes. When increasing the load, you should pay attention to health, sleep, appetite, body weight.
9. Get medical check-ups annually - don't self-medicate!

In prevention, medical literacy of the population is important, because danger often lies in wait for us when we are at home, at work or just walking down the street.

What to look out for if a stroke is suspected?

There is a simple text FACE-HAND-SPEECH.

If:

• The patient cannot smile. The corner of the mouth is down.
• The patient cannot raise two hands
• The patient cannot pronounce his name

Call an ambulance urgently, it is important to hospitalize the patient in the first 3-4 hours after the onset of stroke symptoms.

What is osteoporosis?

This is a disease of the skeleton, which is expressed in a decrease in the density of bone tissue and, as a result, a decrease in its strength. Women are most susceptible to osteoporosis. Bone thinning in women begins at the age of 25 and accelerates significantly after menopause. Men are much less susceptible to osteoporosis. With osteoporosis, microarchitectonics is disrupted, the bone becomes thin and brittle. Osteoporosis is secretive and has no specific symptoms. Often a person learns about it after the fracture is received. The skeleton is deformed - the vertebrae are flattened, the spine is curved. Flattened vertebrae squeeze the roots of the spinal cord especially often in the lumbar region, which leads to back pain and limited mobility. Osteoporosis dramatically increases the likelihood of fractures. In those situations when a healthy person gets off with a minor bruise, a person suffering from osteoporosis risks being bedridden for a long time.

What is Densitometry?

Bone densitometry is used to determine the health of bones and exclude the risk of bone fractures. Early detection of osteoporosis allows you to take timely measures to prevent pathological fractures.

An ordinary X-ray allows you to determine osteoporosis "by eye" when 20-30% of the bone mass has already been lost. In the last two decades, highly effective devices for bone-densitometric studies have been developed, allowing to quantify bone losses and diagnose them at the early stages of osteoporosis with an accuracy of 2-5% in different parts of the skeleton.

X-ray methods of bone densitometry are based on measuring the density of the X-ray radiation flux passing through the bone tissue. A narrow and very low-power beam of X-rays is directed to the measured area of the bone and the intensity of the beam passed through the bone is recorded by the detector. The more the bone delays the flow of rays, the greater its density.

The radiation dose received by the patient during densitometry is very low-less than one tenth of the dose with standard chest radiography.

Who is shown densitometry?

• Women, in the first few years after menopause (especially after ovarian removal);
• All people who have two or more risk factors for osteoporosis;
• All people who have had one or more fractures over the age of 40 years not related to serious accidents (car accident, fall from a great height, sports injuries);
• People who have been taking glucocorticoid hormones (prednisone, hydrocortisone), thyroid hormones for a long time;
• People who are suspected of osteoporosis during an X-ray examination of bones;
• People receiving drug therapy for osteoporosis to monitor the effectiveness of treatment

How to prepare for densitometry?

Eat as usual, but stop taking calcium supplements at least a day before the examination. If you have recently undergone a barium examination or a computed tomography (CT) scan using a contrast agent or a radioisotope scan, tell your doctor about it. You may have to wait 10-14 days before doing a DEXA study. If there is the slightest chance that you are pregnant, tell your doctor about it.

How do they do densitometry?

Densitometry takes 10 -15 minutes. You will need to lie down on a table upholstered with a soft material, under which the radiation source is located. There is a sensor above the table.In the sanatorium" Krasno", the loss of bone density in the lumbar spine and in the upper part of the femur is being investigated. Most osteoporosis-related fractures occur in these areas.

What will I experience during densitometry?

You will not experience anything. A person does not have receptors that can respond to X-ray radiation. Moreover, it is as weak as in a densitometer. When you are on the table, you may be asked to maintain the set position for a short time while the device console moves above you, taking measurements. During the examination, you should try to maintain complete immobility so that the image is clear. The examination is painless, and the radiation dose is very low.
