According to the Sept. 2023 WHO report, Hypertension affects 1 in 3 adults worldwide, among which 4 out of every 5 people are not effectively treated.
Impact of hemisphere localization and the frequency of physical and occupational therapy sessions on functional independence of stroke patients in inpatient rehabilitation
Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States sustains a stroke, resulting in approximately 133,000 deaths per year. Stroke related deaths accounted for 11.8% of total deaths in 2015, making stroke the second leading cause of death worldwide, second only to heart disease
A mini-review of the associations between hypertension and risk of gallstone disease
A series of studies suggested that hypertension is significantly associated with the risk of gallstone disease (GSD). However, due to differences in study design, population stratification, sample size, and diagnostic criteria for GSD, the results of each study are inconsistent, limiting the strength and application of these pieces of evidence.
Factors influencing the longer hospital stays for acute stroke patients in a tertiary hospital in Burkina Faso
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke also imposes an important economic burden. In Western countries, approximately 2-5 per cent of total health-care costs are due to cerebrovascular diseases. Within the first year following a stroke, acute in-patient care accounts for the majority of direct health-care costs.
Epidemiology and clinical characteristics of lacunar ischemic stroke in Burkina Faso
Stroke is the most common cause of disability and the number two cause of death worldwide. The TOAST classification denotes five subtypes of ischemic stroke, large-artery atherosclerosis, cardioembolism, small-vessel occlusion, stroke of other determined etiology and stroke of undetermined etiology.
