| Ischemic Stroke |
YF-3000.8200-330 |
Strokes that occur as a result of an obstruction within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. There are two types of ischemic stroke: cerebral thrombosis (or thrombotic strokes) and cerebral embolisms (embolic strokes). Thrombotic strokes occur when a blood clot (thrombus) forms, often in an artery affected by atherosclerosis, becomes trapped and blocks the flow of blood to parts of the brain. Atherosclerosis is a condition in which the artery lining becomes thickened and narrowed by the buildup of fatty deposits called plaque. As plaque builds up in arteries, blood flows more slowly leading to increased risk of clotting. Embolic strokes occur when a blood clot that forms at another location in the circulatory system, usually the heart and large arteries of the upper chest and neck. A portion of the blood clot breaks loose, enters the bloodstream and travels through the brain's blood vessels until it reaches vessels too small to let it pass. A second important cause of embolism is an irregular heartbeat, known as atrial fibrillation. It creates conditions where clots can form in the heart, dislodge and travel to the brain. Ischemic strokes are often more devastating than hemorrhagic ones because brain tissue dies when the supply of blood to the brain is cut off. |

| Jungian Therapy |
RD-3500 |
Programs that specialize in providing therapeutic interventions that follow the principles of analytical psychotherapy developed by Carl Jung in which an attempt is made to create, by means of a symbolic approach, a dialectical relationship between the conscious and the unconscious. Principal concepts include the role of primal archetypes, which are universal and arise from the collective unconscious, as guiding forces in human behavior; and the bipolar nature of the human mind which looks at individuals in terms of introversion/extroversion dimensions, the thinking, feeling, sensing and intuiting focus of mental activity, and the masculine/feminine dimensions of the psyche. The role of the therapist is to bring to consciousness the repressed side of the psyche and to strengthen those facets as a means of enriching the individual's life. The therapist uses dream analysis as a primary mechanism for understanding the individual's current problems and future aspirations. |
