Определение stroke- в Английский Язык Английский Язык словарь: A "stroke" is the forward movement of the club made with the intention of fairly striking at and moving the ball, but if a player checks his downswing voluntarily before it reaches the ball he is deemed not to have made a stroke; A sudden and often severe problem in the nervous system, usually caused either by blood flow to part of the brain being obstructed (blood clot) or by bleeding into the brain; A sudden disruption of blood flow to the brain, either by a clot or a leak in a blood vessel Also known as "brain attack "; 1 (also "shot") the act of swinging a club with the intention of striking the ball 2 the qualitative aspect of the swing (most frequently associated only with putting) Example: It took him 5 strokes to get the ball in the hole from the greenside bunker 2 The grocery clerk has an exceptional putting stroke; Sudden, severe blockage or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, cutting off blood supply to a portion of the brain and resulting in loss of consciousness, paralysis, or other symptoms depending on what part of the brain is affected; A sudden decrease or stopping of blood flow in an artery of the brain sufficient to cause damage to the brain tissue These occur infrequently following cardiopulmonary bypass (open heart operations) and most likely result from obstruction of a small blood vessel or blood vessels by clots or debris, or from air embolization Children and young adults with persistent cyanosis (right to left shunting through atrial or ventricular septal defects) are at continued higher risk from embolism from intravenous catheters Other Articles in This Section Associated Conditions Cath Lab Procedures Imaging Techniques Medical Personnel /Services New Strategies / Techniques Surgical Complications Surgical Procedures Your feedback is very important! Please e-mail us with any questions or comments about this article; The gain achieved by the player who wins a rally, either in the course of play or on award by the Referee, and which results in either the scoring of a point or change of hand; the maximum movement available to a pivoted or reciprocating piece by a cam; damage to part of the brain that happens when the blood vessels supplying that part are blocked, such as when the blood vessels are clogged with fats (a condition sometimes called hardening of the arteries); The maximum distance the piston travels from the top of the cylinder (at TDC) to the bottom of the cylinder (at BDC), measured in inches or millimeters The stroke is determined by the design of the crankshaft (the length of the stroke arm); a light touch; Loss of muscle function, vision, sensation, or speech resulting from brain cell damage caused by either an insufficient supply of blood to part of the brain, often due to blockage or narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the brain, or a hemorrhage The hemorrhage may involve bleeding into the brain itself or the space around the brain; a sudden loss of consciousness resulting when the rupture or occlusion of a blood vessel leads to oxygen lack in the brain; the oarsman nearest the stern of the shell who sets the pace for the rest of the crew; also known as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA); caused by a lack of blood to the brain, resulting in the sudden loss of speech, language, or the ability to move a body part, and, if severe enough, death; Disease caused by damage to blood vessels in the brain Depending on the part of the brain affected, a stroke can cause a person to lose the ability to speak or move a part of the body such as an arm or a leg Usually only one side of the body is affected See also: Cerebrovascular disease; strike a ball with a smooth blow; a single complete movement; bowstroke; the articulation of the fiddle bow in a single direction to play a note or group of notes; treat gingerly or carefully; "You have to stroke the boss"; A type of cerebrovascular disease that is caused by a sudden interruption of blood flow to a part of the brain, which can kill or damage brain cells A brain attack; Impeded blood supply to some part of the brain; a light touch with the hands; -A medical event that results from sudden blockage of the blood supply to the brain The blockage may destroy brain tissue, thereby producing paralysis, loss of speech, loss of consciousness, or other serious abnormalities of the nervous system, on one side of the body; condition caused by damage to blood vessels in the brain; may cause loss of ability to speak or to move parts of the body; touch lightly and with affection, with brushing motions; "He stroked his long beard"; (sports) the act of swinging or striking at a ball with a club or racket or bat or cue or hand; "it took two strokes to get out of the bunker"; "a good shot require good balance and tempo"; "he left me an almost impossible shot"; Also called a "brain attack" and happens when brain cells die because of inadequate blood flow 20% of cases are a hemorrhage in the brain caused by a rupture or leakage from a blood vessel 80% of cases are also know as a "schemic stroke", or the formation of a blood clot in a vessel supplying blood to the brain; A sudden loss of function of a part of the brain as a result of the interruption of its blood supply by a blocked artery (cerebral thrombosis) or by a burst artery (cerebral hemorrhage); a punctuation mark (/) used to separate related items of information; row at a particular rate; (also called cerebral vascular accident or CVA) Impaired artery blood flow to the brain that can result in permanent speaking, moving and visual problems; the sudden disruption of blood flow to the brain; a mark made by a writing implement (as in cursive writing); Blood flowing under too much pressure through arteries can damage them Over time, this damage can increase the risk of plaque forming in arteries An artery that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the heart or the brain can become completely blocked Without oxygen, heart or brain tissue begins to die The result is called a stroke; The arm and hand motion during the act of delivery over the foul line; A sudden disruption in the flow of blood in the brain that may cause damage; two meanings, a part of the rowing action OR the person sitting at the stern who sets the pace for the rest of the crew; any one of the repeated movements of the limbs and body used for locomotion in swimming or rowing

Hypertension, atherosclerosis, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, old age, atrial fibrillation, and genetic defects are risk factors. Strokes due to thrombosis (the most common cause), embolism, or arterial spasm, which cause ischemia (reduced blood supply), must be distinguished from those due to hemorrhage (bleeding), which are usually severe and often fatal. Depending on its site in the brain, a stroke's effects may include aphasia, ataxia, local paralysis, and/or disorders of one or more senses. A massive stroke can produce one-sided paralysis, inability to speak, coma, or death within hours or days. Anticoagulants can arrest strokes caused by clots but worsen those caused by bleeding. If the cause is closure of the major artery to the brain, surgery may clear or bypass the obstruction. Rehabilitation and speech therapy should begin within two days to retain and restore as much function as possible, since survivors may live many more years. Transient ischemic attacks ("mini strokes"), with short-term loss of function, result from blockage of blood flow to small areas. They tend to recur and may worsen, leading to multi-infarct dementia or stroke
