Résumé
Objective To investigate the correlation between 6 common triggers and ischemic stroke.Methods The demographic and clinical data of the consecutive inpatients with acute ischemic stroke were collected.A questionnaire survey of the triggers of the disease was conducted within 4 d after admission.A case cross-over study was used to compare the exposure of the 6 potential triggers (overeating,anger,negative emotion,heavy physical activity,sudden posture changes as response to a startling event,drinking coffee) at 2 h before onset (dangerous period) and at 1 d before onset during the same period (control period),and exposures to potential triggers in patients according to gender,age and etiological subtypes were further analyzed.Results A total of 369 patients were enrolled.They aged 24-93 years old (mean 61.75 ±13.57),220 patients were male (59.6％) and 149 were female (40.4％).A total of 91 patients (24.7％) exposed to at least one of the triggers at 2 h before onset (odds ratio [OR] 6.1,95％ confidence interval [CI] 3.7-9.9);OR for exposure to the sudden posture change in response to a startling event was 12.0 (95％ CI 2.4-59.3),for heavy physical activity 10.7 (95％ CI 4.2-27.6),for anger 8.0 (95％ CI 2.3-27.5),and for negative emotion 4.9 (95％ CI 2.3-10.3).There was no exposure to drinking coffee.There were no significant differences in the exposure to various triggers among the different gender,age,and etiological subtypes.Conclusions Sudden posture changes as response to a startling event,heavy physical activity,anger,and negative emotion are the triggers for ischemic stroke,attention should be paid to the influence of triggers in the prevention of ischemic stroke.
Résumé
Medulla oblongata is precise in structure and the blood supply is complicated. After its infarction, it is easy to be misdiagnosed or missed because of its various clinical manifestations and lack of specificity. This article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and prognosis of medullary infarction in different sites.
Résumé
Ischemic stroke is often triggered under the effect of the basic lesions combined with a variety of incentives in daily life. Its generative mechanism is complicated, and there are more risk factors. Only according to the long-term existence of chronic risk factors, it cannot make appropriate explanation for the acute onset of this disease. At present, there are a few studies on the predisposing factors of stroke, and its related mechanism needs to be further discussed. This article aims to introduce the relationship between the common predisposing factors and ischemic stroke, discusses its possible mechanism, and provides reference for the clinical prevention work of ischemic stroke.
