A Commentary on Apoplectic and Paralytic Affections

# data[].attributes.body
This artifact is a book written by Thomas Kirkland, MD. It explains his research regarding apoplexy and related disorders.

This was published in 1792, and remained prevalent for years, serving as the main source of apoplectic literature until the cerebral hemorrhage discoveries in the early 1800s.

This commentary was most prevalent in the United Kingdom, where Thomas Kirkland is originally from.

This artifact is important to build a basis for the knowledge that was used in the future regarding stroke research. This commentary shows how little was actually known at the time about the subject.

Rochoux's Dissertation on Cerebral Hemorrhage

Rochoux's Dissertation on Cerebral Hemorrhage 

# data[].attributes.body
This dissertation describes the evidence at the time that explained how cerebral hemorrhages were linked to the symptoms seen in stroke patients.

This dissertation was published in 1812, and remained important for years to come, especially at the University of Cologne and in Paris.

This dissertation was most prevalent in Paris and other French areas, and the impacts of cerebral hemorrhage on the brain, as described in this dissertation, are still not fully understood today.

This artifact is important by building a foundation for strokes and apoplexy, namely on why they occur and how to cerebral accidents can cause severe damage.

Stroke Mortality Rates in Spain from 1880-1884

Stroke Mortality Rates in Spain from 1880-1884 

# data[].attributes.body
This table that was in a topography of apoplexy research shows the changes in mortality over time in various locations. This table shows differences in the various areas within Spain, and how these change over time.

This data was taken from 1880-1884, but published slightly after in a medical topography journal.

This circulated in Spain for years after, and its impacts are seen even today.

This artifact is important by showing differences in the areas of the county as well as over time. With this data, one can see trends over time in strokes, can lead to further areas of research into these differences and why they occur.

Demographic Causes of Death via Apoplexy

# data[].attributes.body
This table shows the demographic characteristics that make up a sample of 44 patients in the stroke case studies done by Dr. Falp.

This data was taken around 1890, and published slightly after in a medical topography journal.

This journal circulated in Spain for years after and is still used today. This helped to indicate certain demographic factors that had a higher prevalence of apoplexy.

This artifact is important in that it allowed for doctors and researchers to further understand certain risk factors that would cause one to be at higher risk for stroke.

Dr. Falp's Medical Topography of Apoplexy Research

# data[].attributes.body
This document provides some of the first known documentation of Apoplexy and Ictus (sudden event or attack). These denote intense symptoms in extreme attacks.

This was published in 1901, but written slightly before that when the studies were done.

This circulated in Spain for years after, and is still studied today.

This artifact is important by showing early discussion of terms used by the Spaniards to discuss the attacks that are seen in strokes, as well as their symptoms and associated causes.

Current, Critical Stroke Breakthroughs at Yale

# data[].attributes.body
This is a video describing some of the breakthroughs at Yale University Hospitals regarding stroke treatment.

This is a very current piece, published in December of 2020, showing the most current technology available for preventing and treating strokes.

While this technology was developed at Yale University, it will soon be spread all over the country and the world, to hospital systems that can afford it. Strokes are one of the most common causes of death worldwide, and all hospitals would have a need for these new technologies.

This is a relevant video because it shows the most current practices available. These treatments and tests allow for a lower mortality rate, and decrease the severity of certain aspects of strokes. This video provides insight on the various new breakthrough technologies presented by Yale. This shows how far technology has come regarding strokes over the years.

3 Critical Breakthroughs in Stroke Research at Yale

# data[].attributes.body
Robert A. Harrington has a very impressive resume. His background is in interventional cardiology, but his impressiveness does not stop there. Not only does he currently work as a chair in the department of medicine at Stanford, but he is also the president of the stroke division of the American Heart Association. Robert Harrington knows everything there is to know about the cardiology aspect of strokes. While it may seem like an odd choice for a neurological aspect of strokes exhibit, a lot of what we know today about strokes is based on cardiology research.
