Chutian Metropolis Daily News on October 29 (Reporter Chen Lingyan, Correspondent Bei Lan Li Han) stroke is also called stroke . It is caused by rupture and bleeding of cerebral blood vessels or cerebral ischemia and hypoxia caused by blood vessel blockage. . The 29th is World Stroke Day. The "China Stroke Report 2019" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") released this year shows that stroke has become one of the main causes of death among residents in our country. The number of stroke patients living with the disease has reached as many as 13 million.

Stroke has a high incidence rate, high mortality rate and high disability rate. It is noteworthy that the number of strokes among young and middle-aged people has been increasing in recent years, and patients aged 20 to 40 are not uncommon.

31-year-old fat boy suddenly had a headache and vomited violently

31-year-old Mr. Xiao weighs more than 100 kilograms and is a fat boy. At the beginning of this month, he suddenly felt a severe headache at his home in Tianmen, and then started vomiting. An examination at the local hospital revealed that he had subarachnoid hemorrhage in his brain, suspected to be cerebral aneurysm . As a result, he was urgently transferred to the Neurosurgery Department of the Third People's Hospital of Hubei Province (Provincial Zhongshan Hospital).

Cerebral angiography found that Mr. Xiao had a sac-like aneurysm with a diameter of about 2 mm and a very irregular shape in his brain. Although it is small, it is like a time bomb that may rupture and bleed again at any time. Without further ado, Li Jun, director of the neurosurgery department of the hospital, led a team to immediately perform microcoil embolization of the aneurysm on Mr. Xiao, successfully dismantling the time bomb, and Mr. Xiao recovered fortunately.

"Although the elderly still account for the majority of stroke patients treated daily, the number of young and middle-aged patients has increased significantly in recent years." Li Jun said that these young and middle-aged patients have some common "common characteristics" Characteristics, "such as obesity, liking tobacco and alcohol, high blood pressure and blood sugar, etc."

23-year-old young man suffered a stroke after staying up late suffered a stroke

23-year-old Mr. Wang is from Wuhan. He is not old and has been smoking for a long time. His favorite thing at ordinary times is Stay up late playing games, and then go drinking with friends.

Two months ago, he made an appointment with his friends to go to the arcade to play games all night. When he was fighting until midnight, he suddenly felt that he could not pull the trigger with his right hand, and his words were unclear when he wanted to speak. His companions noticed something was wrong with him and rushed him to Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. After examination, he was diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke. The neurosurgeon at the hospital urgently performed hematoma removal surgery, which saved his life. Subsequently, he underwent rehabilitation training for more than a month. A review at the hospital on October 29 showed that his limb functions had basically returned to normal.

Although it took more than a month to recover, Mr. Wang was lucky to finally return to normal. Data show that the mortality rate of stroke is about 20%-30%. The vast majority of surviving patients have sequelae such as hemiplegia, hemiplegia, numbness, hemianopia, and aphasia. Their living ability is affected. Severe limitations. Zhao Shiyu, deputy chief physician of the neurosurgery department of the hospital, pointed out that living habits such as staying up late for a long time and eating a salty or oily diet are important reasons why they suffer strokes at a young age. "We call on young and middle-aged people to keep their mouths shut and eat less sugar," he said. , less oil, less salt, less high-uric acid foods, and try to stay away from tobacco and alcohol.”

To prevent stroke, we must start with “little things”

There are about 2 million new cases of stroke in our country every year, and the annual rate is 8.7%. The rate of stroke is increasing rapidly. The onset of stroke is urgent and the harm is great. To effectively reduce its harm, the key lies in two aspects:

One is to treat patients quickly. Taking patients with blood vessel occlusion as an example, the time window from onset to thrombolysis is only 3-4.5 hours. Once the window time is exceeded, the treatment effect will be greatly reduced, leaving unpredictable sequelae at best, and at worst, there will be no cure. Therefore, if you experience dizziness, weakness in limbs, unsteadiness, or slurred speech, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

"Another and more important key is effective prevention." Li Jun pointed out that young and middle-aged people, especially those who are usually busy with work and stressed, are not as concerned about health as the elderly. "You should pay more attention to changes in your blood pressure and blood sugar. Also increase exercise to reduce risk."

As for the type of stroke caused by cerebral hemangioma like Mr. Xiao, it is more insidious because it is likely to have no obvious symptoms before the onset, but it is not impossible to prevent it. Li Jun suggested that young and middle-aged people can have it every 2-3 Choosing to have a non-invasive cardiovascular and cerebrovascular physical examination every year can detect vascular stenosis, hemangioma or other lesions in time. "Once detected, effective treatment can be carried out immediately to solve it in advance before it causes trouble." "
