	Diabetic Eye Disease Glossary of Terms with Medical Definitions
		Sometimes the term "heart disease" is used narrowly and incorrectly as a synonym for coronary artery disease.
		Heart disease is synonymous with cardiac disease but not with cardiovascular disease which is any disease of the heart or blood vessels.
		It is the branch of medicine concerned with diseases and conditions which require or are amenable to operative procedures.

	What is a Stroke?
		James Grim, M.D. Stroke is a life-threatening event that occurs when there is insufficient blood flow to some part of the brain.
		It may be caused by blockage of an artery as a result of local blood vessel disease or by material passing to the artery from another part of the body or brain.
		Hemorrhagic stroke is associated with a nearly 30 percent increased in risk of death in the first 30 days after the event, compared with ischemic stroke.

	Cerebrovascular accident : Stroke
		The ischemic stroke is usually caused by atherosclerosis (hardening) of blood vessels, embolus (a piece of blood clot originating from atherosclerotic plaque or heart) or small artery disease (the occlusion of small cerebral vessels by the influence of such presumed factors as diabetes mellitus, elevated blood lipid levels, hypertension and cigarette smoking).
		The symptoms of stroke are easy to spot: sudden numbness[?] or weakness, especially on one side of the body; sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden trouble walking; dizziness[?]; or loss of balance or coordination.

		Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited progressive disorder of the brain that leads to uncontrolled movements, emotional instability, and loss of intellectual faculties.
		Specifically affected early in the disease are cells of the basal ganglia, a structure deep in the center of the brain where movement is coordinated.
		As the disease progresses, the brain-cell death that is the basis of symptoms continues.

	New Success Against Stroke - Prevention, Improved Therapies Help Fight This Devastating Condition

		An ischemic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel in the brain or neck is blocked, is the most common stroke, responsible for about 80 percent of cases.
		Less common is hemorrhagic stroke, in which a blood vessel bursts, causing bleeding into the brain or in the spaces surrounding the brain.

	Suppressing immune system reverses otherwise untreatable case of blood disease
		Prior to the early 1980s, the prognosis was grim: The risk of dying from complications of the disease such as heart attack or stroke was as high as 90 percent.
		But plasmapheresis does not target the underlying problem, which is believed to be similar to autoimmune diseases such as lupus, in which the immune system attacks a person's own tissues.
		In 2000, Sadler's team, in collaboration with investigators at the University of Washington in Seattle, identified a protein in the bloodstream called von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease and found that it either is missing or abnormal in people with TTP, presumably as a result of disruption by the immune system.

		The findings support the theory that TTP is an autoimmune disease and not only provide insight into diagnosis and treatment, but also reveal clues about blood clotting and autoimmune diseases in general.
		Today, most patients who are diagnosed accurately with TTP are successfully treated with plasmapheresis, a procedure in which an individual's blood is swapped for healthy blood in a daily process similar to dialysis for kidney failure.

	USNews.com: Health: In Brief: Heart and Vascular Health: Small-vessel disease and stroke
		About a quarter of all strokes occur when blood flow is reduced or cut off in the smallest blood vessels deep in the brain because of a disorder called small vessel disease.
		Researchers have begun to suspect that a condition previously thought to be benign—intracranial arterial dolichoectasia, in which the brain's larger arteries are stretched and misshapen—may be linked to the development of small vessel disease.
		The researchers say they do not know if intracranial arterial dolichoectasia causes small-vessel disease in the brain, or if both conditions have a common cause, but a link is evident.
