A stroke is a certain form of cardiovascular disease that affects the blood supply to the brain, so disruptions in brain function caused by a blockage or rupture of blood vessels. Stroke hemoragik is a brain blood vessels rupture causing discharge of blood to brain tissue parenkim, serebrospinalis liquid space around the brain or a combination of both. The cause of bleeding disorders otal fibers through suppression of the brain and also by the hematon is causing ischemia on surrounding tissues. Increased intracranial pressure will in turn cause herniation of brain tissue and suppress brain stem. Risk factors for occurrence of stroke Hemoragik, the description, the other old age, hypertension, Heart disease, diabetes Mellitus, hiperkolesterolemia, smoking and brain blood vessel disorders. The presentation of this case, a man of 46 years came with complaints of dizziness, headaches, weakness. Physical examination blood pressure 164/100 mmHg, and the patient's blood pressure is not controlled. Obtained results of laboratory where blood creep rate levels, Hemoglobin and leukocytes, Triglycerides was increasing, and Increased cholesterol levels. Known diagnosis of patient suffering a stroke hemoragik. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hemodialysis (HD) is an invasive action that has a major risk associated with viral infections that can be transmitted through blood, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C (HVC), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and Human Lymphotropic Virus. The length of time a patient undergoes hemodialysis is a factor related to the prevalence of HVC, this may be related to an increased risk of exposure to HVC virus in the hospital environment such as blood transfusion, repeated vascular access, and hygiene. To evaluate mortality rate and survival analysis among hemodialized patients with hepatitis C. A cohort prospective and retrospective study was done in this research. This study included hemodialysis patients who were followed up for more than 3 months and who died in the last 5 years. Universal sampling was used to select patients based on inclusion criteria. There was a significant correlation between hepatitis C and hypertensive patients and diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. DM in HD patients continue to be very high levels of mortality in hospital. Probability of dying among diabetic and/or hypertensive patients who undergone hemodialysis between both HD centres while the significant relationship is showed in this hospital. Hypertensive and diabetic were one of the risk factors which caused mortality among HD patients. The persentage of survival among hypertensive patients in hemodialysis was lesser than diabetic patients in hemodialysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hemodialysis is one of the treatments in replacing kidney function that must be carried out continuously to patients. Therefore, infection is one of the risk factors that may occur among these patients. Hepatitis C (HCV) is a common viral infection. Patients contracting viral infections before or after hemodialysis treatment. The infection may come from a family, from a blood transfusion or ongoing hemodialysis treatment, which is considered a high-risk factor for this infection. To evaluate correlation between socio-demographic with mortality rate among hemodialysis patients with hepatitis C. A prospective and retrospective cohort study was conducted in this study. A prospective cohort study was conducted for 3 months in patients undergoing hemodialysis, whereas a retrospective cohort study by analyzed medical records of hemodialysis patients who died with HCV infection during the past 5 years who were included in the inclusion criteria. Hepatitis C mostly occurred among male and hypertensive patients between 51-60 years old. There is a significant correlation between age and type of infection for all hemodialysis hepatitis patients. Mortality rate among hemodialysis patients with hepatitis C was influenced by practice pattern such us duration of HD and mixing room between Hypertensive with HCV and without HCV.

Quality of life was an individual's perception of his position to reduce in life, in the context of culture, the value system of its relationship to life goals, expectations, standards, and other related. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of life related to the health of hypertensive patients in Penang, Malaysia. This type of research was a prospective study with a cross-sectional approach. Respondents in this study were residents aged =18 years. Data analysis was performed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, followed by an unpaired t-test for each of the eight domains of life quality SF-36 with health and socioeconomic risk factors. The results of the study were several which showed low results in the Physical Function domain (68.89 ± 29.328), Role of Emotion (54.47 ± 9.387), Mental Health (47.22 ± 48.071), Social Function (44.44 ± 48.222) and General Health (43.69 ± 20.124). There are 5 domains of 8 domains which are below the standard value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
