Stoke is caused when a wall of the blood vessels in the brain ruptures, either out of too much pressure in the blood, too little strength of the walls of the arteries, or by a blood clot being formed and ruptured in the brain. It can also be caused by particulates being carried in the blood stream entering the brain, however these are usually temporary, and don't have any lasting effects besides being more susceptible to stroke in the future.]]> 2019-10-22 18:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/llesiowski92/om5o028v546a/wish/401077987 Asymptomatic Definition llesiowski92 https://padlet.com/llesiowski92/om5o028v546a/wish/401078148 Asymptomatic means when a person is infected with a disease, but does not exhibit any of the symptoms that are associated with the disease.]]> 2019-10-22 18:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/llesiowski92/om5o028v546a/wish/401078148 Incubation period description llesiowski92 https://padlet.com/llesiowski92/om5o028v546a/wish/401078384 An incubation period is the period of time between a disease's initial infection and the time when the first symptoms are shown in the patient.]]> 2019-10-22 18:45:58 UTC https://padlet.com/llesiowski92/om5o028v546a/wish/401078384 Type llesiowski92 https://padlet.com/llesiowski92/om5o028v546a/wish/401078687 Stroke is a noncommunicable condition that can act as a symptom or effect of many diseases or afflictions.]]> 2019-10-22 18:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/llesiowski92/om5o028v546a/wish/401078687 Symptoms llesiowski92 https://padlet.com/llesiowski92/om5o028v546a/wish/401079317
