Doctor Mateja de Leonni Stanonik, a neurologist, provides easy-to-understand information in her Blog-- information about the many neurological and health issues that often affect (and are particularly burdensome) the aging population in their so-called golden years. In her Blog, Dr. de Leonni Stanonik will focus on her particular research interests that include:
Vascular Dementia
Alzheimer’s
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Parkinson’s
Stroke
Migraines, and
Epilepsy
As Dr. de Leonni Stanonik explains that “in today’s busy neurology practices, medical doctors and their staff rarely have the time to answer all questions that the patients have. The patients (and/or their caretakers) start searching on the internet. However, one should not act based solely on information found on the internet, but instead review the issues with the medical doctor who has the patient’s medical history and has personally examined the patient.

Here, Dr. de Leonni publishes updates to relevant information. For example, many people hear and talk about a “stroke” and the difficult path to recover. A stroke happens where there is diminished blood flow to the brain, usually resulting in cell death. The two main types of strokes are “ischemic” (lack of blood flow), and “hemorrhagic”
Here, Dr. de Leonni publishes updates to relevant information. For example, many people hear and talk about a “stroke” and the difficult path to recover. A stroke happens where there is diminished blood flow to the brain, usually resulting in cell death. The two main types of strokes are “ischemic” (lack of blood flow), and “hemorrhagic” (involving bleeding). Both prevent the brain from functioning properly.
It is crucial to know the symptoms of a stroke, which include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body; confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech; trouble seeing in one or both eyes; as well as trouble walking, loss of balance, or lack of coordination and dizziness.
As with many critical conditions, the “first hour” that emergency personnel often mention, is most important in such a case. Stroke patients have a much greater chance of surviving and avoiding long-term brain damage if they get to the hospital quickly and receive treatment.
For example, the commonly used early treatment for an ischemic stroke is a “tissue plasminogen activator” (tPA) which breaks up the blood clots that block blood flow to the brain.
