	Stroke
		Stroke subtype was classified as total or partial anterior circulation infarct (TACI or PACI), posterior circulation infarct (POCI), or lacunar infarct (LACI), according to the OCSP method.
		PATIENTS AND METHODS: We reviewed 820 consecutive patients with deep hemispheral infarct included in the Lausanne Stroke Registry between 1986 and 1998 and selected those with isolated lenticular involvement on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
		Presumed cause of stroke was small-artery disease in 5, artery-to-artery embolism in 4, cardioembolism in 3 and undetermined in 1.

	Chinese input methods for computers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition, the methods which require the user to select a character from a menu generally have sophisticated methods for guessing which characters the user intends based on context.
		As with the English language, all these methods suffer from high error rates, though the error rates are acceptable to many users.
		Keyboard input methods can be classified in three main types: by encoding, by pronunciation, and by structure of the characters.

	Radical (Chinese character) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Following the "radical-and-stroke-count" method of Mei Yingzuo, characters are listed by their radical and then ordered by the number of strokes needed to write them.
		Count the number of brush or pen strokes in the non-radical portion of the character.
		Though radicals are widely accepted as a method to categorize Chinese characters and to locate a certain character in a dictionary, there is no universal agreement about either the exact number of radicals, or the set of radicals.

	Stroke count method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stroke count method is an input method editor in which the user enters the total number of strokes of a Chinese character, and chooses the desired character from a list that pops up.
		This method is sometimes used as a last resort when the user is unable to find the desired character by any other method.
		For example, there are more Chinese characters with 12 strokes than there are with any other number, so searching through a list of 12-stroke characters could take a long time.

	Five-stroke method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wubi Hua (五笔划), or five-stroke method, is a Chinese input method for writing text on a computer.
		Each of the five keys from 1 to 5 are assigned a certain type of stroke: 1 for horizontal strokes, 2 for vertical strokes, 3 for downwards right-to-left strokes, 4 for dot strokes or downwards left-to-right strokes, and 5 for all other strokes.
		Wubi Hua is one of the easiest to learn methods, but it tends to be vague (a Wubi Hua code will normally match tens or hundreds of characters), and each character has a unique code (thus, characters whose stroke order are frequently transposed due to a person's writing style cannot easily be found).

	Human Kinetics
		Still another method for increasing stroke length at sprint speed is for the athletes to swim only a specified number of stroke cycles while trying to cover more distance with each swim.
		One of the most common drills for increasing stroke lengths is to count strokes for one pool length and repeat the drill while attempting to cover the distance with fewer strokes.
		Increases of stroke rates and the reduction of stroke lengths may not be advantageous for longer sprints, middle distance races, and distance events if the perceived effort that produced lower scores is beyond that which swimmers feel they could sustain over their race distance.

	blood count on Encyclopedia.com
		method for determining the number of red (erythrocytes) and white (leukocytes) blood cells in a certain volume of blood.
		A complete blood count (CBC) is an extended series of tests to determine such additional factors as the hemoglobin concentration of red blood cells and the amount of platelets in the blood.
		Leukemia, for instance, causes an increase in the white blood cell count, while a decrease in the number of red blood cells is associated with anemia.

	Radical (Chinese character)
		To look this up one by the multi-radical method, [1] one finds the radical for "man" in the dictionary (most dictionaries will have an index page to help with this step) and then passes through 1 additional stroke, 2 additional strokes, etc. until one finds entries for 7 additional strokes.
		The commonly used system, known as the "radical-and-stroke-count" method, makes use of the fact that Chinese characters (total number very approximately 5,000-50,000) are assembled from some 1,000-2,000 subcomponents.
		If the radical chosen by the user matches the radical used by the dictionary compiler (not a problem in this simple example, but it can be tricky), and if both user and dictionary compiler count strokes the same way (occasionally a problem), the entry will be found.

	USMS Discussion Forums - REvisiting Stroke Count as applied to the Methodology of Training
		The letter / number counting method, is designed to count strokes all the time, based on the personal BBDPS of the swimmer, strokes can be added to reach the intensity needed to meet the objectives of the set.
		In free and back the letter counts the first arm that swims a cycle and reaches the front end, and the number counts when the second arm swims a cycle to the front end, that is one full stroke.
		I had count the stokes on th Olympics and the best they do is 6 (at half of the pool) strokes per length, maybe 5 for a 25 yard pool.

	Verification Procedures
		As with any verification method, the margin for error will depend on the upkeep and condition of the contractor’s equipment, the observational dexterity of the foreman or inspector in charge, and the ethics with which the verification task is approached.
		A simplified method of this procedure may be implemented if the engineer has determined the quantity of dry bulk-delivered aggregate (sand) required to batch one cubic foot of compaction grout material.
		The need for an accurate method of verifying emplaced quantities of compaction grout, also known as limited-mobility displacement (LMD) grout, has become evident through years of working with clients and engineers who have come to expect a high degree of quality control.

	More About DIPS. - Integrating Distance Per Stroke Technique Drills and Concepts into Training, Utilising On-going Assessment and Testing, and Introducing Distance Improvement Per Stroke into Competition
		Stroke counts and distance per stroke comments should be discussed with the swimmer after the race and recorded for future use.
		Ongoing assessment of stroke counts is one of the simplest forms of assessment in swimming, however, it may have the most benefit to performance.
		When discussing the results of the initial test related to stroke rate and stroke count with the swimmer, attention should also be focused on the increased number of strokes, hence the shorter the distance per stroke as the rate increased.

	MonkeyFilter Yingzi
		The Five Stroke method only uses five (or, in OS X's case, six) keys on the number pad, one for each type of stroke: 1 for rightward, 2 for downward, 3 for down-left, 4 for dot or down-right, and 5 for anything else, more or less.
		The Wubi method looks like it might be the most efficient one, but the Five Stroke method hasn't been too hard to pick up for me. Both of these come with OS X, fortunately.
		LarimdaME, there are actually several different methods of inputting Chinese; the most common one for Westerners is based on the Pinyin of each character, but there are a bunch of other methods, based on anything from a character's strokes to its radicals.

	The American Heart Association Stroke Outcome Classification
		In a study of stroke survivors it was determined that although a disability is most directly influenced by impairments, current stroke scales that measure impairments only partially explained the level of disability, handicap, or quality of life for those surviving at least 6 months.
		The development of a stroke outcome classification system is predicated on the belief that neurological deficits often lead to permanent impairments, disabilities, and compromised quality of life.
		The schema for the stroke outcome classification score presented here is conceptually similar to the New York Heart Association functional and therapeutic classification of patients with diseases of the heart framework.

	How to Read and Type Chinese Characters on Your Computer and Chinese Character Input Methods
		The Wubi Hua (五笔划), or Five Stroke method, is a Chinese input method for writing text on a computer.
		Each of the five keys from 1 to 5 are assigned a certain type of stroke: 1 for horizontal strokes, 2 for vertical strokes, 3 for downwards right-to-left strokes, 4 for dot strokes or downwards left-to-right strokes, and 5 for all other strokes.
		The Wubi method is based on the structure of characters rather than their pronunciation, making it possible to input unfamiliar characters, as well as not being too closely linked to any particular Chinese dialect.

	Stroke Symptoms and Recovery, Causes of Strokes- BWH
		A stroke happens when a blood vessel, which brings oxygen and nutrients to the brain, is clogged by a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or bursts (hemorrhagic stroke) and does not allow the brain to get the blood flow it needs.
		Although stroke can happen to the young, women are more likely to have a stroke when they are older and account for roughly 62 percent of all stroke deaths.
		The equivalent to a heart attack in the brain, a stroke is the result of a reduction in blood flow to the brain.

		Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States (17) and is a leading cause of death worldwide (19).
		An investigation of 10-year trends in the incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease and stroke in 15 populations worldwide showed that trends in stroke and heart disease differ, implying differences in underlying risk factors (24), with one possibility being that cholesterol is a strong risk factor for coronary heart disease but not for stroke.
		Stroke is also a major cause of morbidity in Western countries (17), with over 1 million American adults reporting long-term disabilities due to stroke events (20).

	REVOLUTIONARY TENNIS forehand
		Strokes don't exist in and of themselves, they are dependent on the body, on its locomotion, balance, structure, sensory input.
		, what helps your stroke the most is improving the use, response, and structure of your body toward a ball angling away from you, as well as simplifying where to place the ball.
		Strokes require their own self discipline, and stroking requires body self discipline.

	Stroke
		In stroke patients, despite the fact that the CT is often negative for the first 24-48 hours, it is often obtained on the day of admission to exclude an intracerebral hemorrhage before the patient is placed on anticoagulant therapy.
		The five major causes of cerebral infarction are vascular thrombosis, cerebral embolism, hypotension, hypertensive hemorrhage, and anoxia/hypoxia.
		The importance of occlusive cerebral vascular disease is confirmed by two facts: 1) stroke is the third commonest cause of death in the United States; and 2) one-half of neurology inpatients have stroke related problems.

		Its stroke order boxes illustrate in clear and easy-to-follow ways how to write characters in one of the most widely accepted standardizations of the writing system.
		Another way to look up characters is by inputting them directly in written form through the use of either a mouse or a pen tablet.

	Recovery Based Training - An Alternate Method of Athlete Preparation
		One variation in the protocol is to measure stroke variables twice of the swim, for example between 100 and 150 metres and 300 and 350 metres to assess changes in stroke mechanics with fatigue over the even paced swim.
		By considering stroke rate and stroke count (and thereby stroke length) in the assessment of an athlete's recovery ability, the coach can in some way make a practical determination of the athlete's level of efficiency.
		The coach measures heart rate, stroke count and stroke rate at 5:00 pace, (ie heart rate at the end of the swim, stroke count and stroke rate over the final 50 metres).

	L. Schomaker c.s., Abstracts
		A parsimonious stroke parameterization in the velocity domain is used, that is based on planning in Cartesian space and allocation of time to movement components along the spatial axes.
		Therefore, those stroke features which show the mot invariant pattern are probably related to the parameters of the higher-level representation, whereas the more noisy features are probably related to the parameters derived at the lower levels (topdown hierarchy).
		This suggests that velocity-based stroke segmentation is reliable, in spite of its discrete partioning of the handwriting movements.

		Older rehabilitation methods for stroke tended to teach people to compensate for their losses by working with their unaffected side and adding canes, braces, and walkers for support.
		Less common than blockage strokes are hemorrhagic strokes, which are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, with bleeding in or over the surface of the brain.
		In the best-case scenario, a stroke patient is evaluated by a team of health-care providers--a personal physician, neurologist or physical medicine specialist, nursing-care coordinator, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists--who together create a customized plan for rehabilitation and physical therapy.

	Risk Factors for Stroke: Stroke Center at University Hospital, Newark, New Jersey
		Although stroke often is considered a disease of the elderly, 25 percent occur in people younger than 65 years.
		Hemorrhage from cerebral arteriovenous abnormalities represents from 2 percent to 4 percent of all strokes.
		Sickle cell disease (sickle cell anemia) — a genetic disorder primarily affecting African-Americans — is a risk factor for stroke because "sickled" red blood cells are less able to carry oxygen to the body's tissues and organs.
