Q10 Surprise… #NRS501 On a scale one to ten how useful were the quizzes and how much did you enjoy them?

@gosia_bal ischaemic - blood clot that eroded from an atheroma that break freely into circulation bigger the clot, the bigger the damage as it will starve a large area of the brain Haemorrhagic blood vessel that ruptures due to high blood pressure, there is free blood in the brain #nrs501

Q10 #NRS501 In Twitter word limits describe the difference between ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke

@gosia_bal its a cut of a blood supply to a part of the brain. It can be a hemorrhagic less common 15% ( blood vessel burst, there is ischemia and also free blood in the the brain) and the ischemic there is a blood clot cutting the blood supply to the brain more common 85% #nrs501

Q9 #NRS501 What is stroke and what are the two main pathophysiological classifications of stroke?

@Punc21Sarah @gosia_bal what I understood is there is an accumulation of Lewy body plaques which inhibits the neurotransmission of dopamine. There is some relation between Parkinson and lewy body dementia. #nrs501

@gosia_bal Is it Lewy body because that is produced when the dopamine receptors die off? In schizophrenia they see hallucinations due to dopamine problems? Not sure if I have understood this right? #nrs501

Q8 #NRS501 In which form of dementia are hallucinations and movement disorders symptoms seen?

@gosia_bal protein changes ?

@gosia_bal neurons death?
