Patients with cerebral embolism can eat beef, as it contains rich high-quality proteins. These proteins can enhance the body's resistance and prevent complications such as lung and urinary tract infections following a cerebral embolism. Additionally, beef is rich in B vitamins such as vitamin B1 and B12, which also nourish the nerves. Cerebral embolism is an acute disease that often strikes suddenly, generally in patients with a history of atrial fibrillation, presenting with rapid onset and paralysis of limbs. Treatment involves timely administration of anticoagulants and statin drugs. Furthermore, after stabilization of the condition, active rehabilitation training is important. In terms of diet, in addition to beef, patients can also consume milk and eggs and should eat a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits.

Can cerebral embolism be treated with thrombolysis?

For patients with cerebral embolism, if the onset is not particularly severe and the area of the embolism is not very large, for example, if the patient's consciousness is still clear, then thrombolysis can still be feasible. It is now also relatively advocated because the risk of cerebral hemorrhage is relatively small in such cases. However, if the area of the cerebral embolism is large, especially if the patient has fallen into a coma or other consciousness disorders, and shows conjugate gaze palsy, then the risk of thrombolysis is very high, and there is a very likely risk of conversion to cerebral hemorrhage. In such cases, thrombolysis is not recommended, and arterial thrombectomy can be performed instead, which can greatly save the patient's life and improve the quality of life. Besides thrombolysis and thrombectomy, anticoagulant therapy should also be administered after the condition stabilizes, as most cases of cerebral embolism are caused by atrial fibrillation, and anticoagulant therapy can prevent future attacks.

What department should one go to for a cerebral embolism?

Patients with cerebral embolism should visit the department of neurology. Cerebral embolism is not a special disease but rather one type of cerebral infarction. Cerebral infarction generally includes two types: cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism. The former refers to the formation of a thrombus at the site of the vessel occlusion. The latter involves a thrombus originating from another location, which blocks the vessel at the infarct site. The sources of such thrombi are varied, with the most common being from the heart, frequently seen in patients with long-term chronic atrial fibrillation. This condition forms a mural thrombus in the atrium, which, during episodes of atrial fibrillation, can detach, be flushed by the blood stream into the brain, and cause cerebral embolism. Secondly, it occurs in cardiac valve diseases, such as rheumatic heart disease, mitral valve alterations, and others. There are also some other sources of thrombi, such as tumor-induced cancer, amniotic fluid embolism in pregnant women, and fat embolism in patients with fractures.

Can people with cerebral embolism run?

Patients with cerebral embolism are mostly caused by heart diseases, especially atrial fibrillation, which is the most common complication leading to cerebral embolism. If it is the acute phase of cerebral embolism, the patient's condition is unstable and symptoms may worsen, so running is definitely not suitable at this time. If the recovery from cerebral embolism is already very good, the patient's condition is stable, and there are no significant heart function issues, then the patient may engage in running exercises under the assessment of neurologists and cardiologists. Running can help to strengthen the physique, improve blood circulation, and also aid in the recovery from cerebral embolism, but it is important to ensure that the exercise intensity is not too high, to avoid putting too much strain on the heart.

What fluid is infused for cerebral embolism?

Cerebral embolism is a type of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, occurring when an abnormal clot travels to the brain and blocks an artery, leading to corresponding clinical symptoms. Patients may experience speech impairments, motor dysfunctions, limb numbness, and even consciousness disturbances among other clinical manifestations. Some individuals with cerebral embolism may even develop epilepsy. The primary treatment for patients with cerebral embolism involves anticoagulation therapy. Additionally, intravenous medications are mainly used to reduce cerebral edema, activate blood circulation and remove stasis, protect brain cells, and eliminate free radicals. Medications to improve collateral circulation via intravenous routes are also applicable. Generally, the prognosis of cerebral embolism is not very good; it is prone to transition to cerebral hemorrhage and may leave sequelae such as epilepsy. (Please use medications under the guidance of a professional physician, and do not self-medicate.)
