Before you start on AE3 Essay on the impacts of a health condition some hints and background.

Stroke (or cerebrovascular accident) is the rapid loss of brain function due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain.

There are two types;Ischemic (reduction in blood flow)

Haemorrhagic (bleeding into the brain)

You will need to provide details on;How the different types arise (what actually causes them and how these things developed in the person)

How they cause damage and

What the consequences are for the brain and at least one other body system.

In your introduction it would be good to include some epidemiological information how many people per year suffer from stroke, what generally happens to them, how common is this disease (the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare AIHW and Dept. of Health and Aged Care have good sites on this).

It would also be good to include some strategies for prevention, treatment/management and rehabilitation throughout the report and perhaps in the discussion when you consider future prospects.

Myocardial Infarction (or heart attack) is the blockage of coronary arteries resulting in ischemia (oxygen depletion) in the cardiac muscle which leads to tissue death. The predominant cause of MI is rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque leading to thrombosis. Rarely, it can also be due to vasospasm. You will need to explain these terms, discuss how the pathology develops over time and describe the event that triggered the actual heart attack. You will also need to describe how the tissue is damaged and the consequences this has both for the heart/cardiovascular system and at least one other system.

As outlined in the section above about stroke, you will also need to provide some epidemiological information. The links I gave above in the stroke section also cover heart disease and MI.

Getting a feel for the area.

Note that these are generally NOT considered as being the kind of thing that you use as a reference in a report (at best they are considered as grey literature). They are, however a place to get started in your research.

Artificial intelligence

Yes - you can ask AI about a topic to get background information. YOU CANNOT GET ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE TO WRITE YOUR ESSAY. Your essay will be screened by Turnitin for the contribution of AI if it returns a positive match, you will be asked to explain yourself and provide drafts of your work (keep your drafts even if they are not in English). If you cannot show that the essay was written by you, you might incur a penalty (e.g., a mark of zero for the easy or a grade of fail for the topic). Note that we have found that assignments written by AI are not of sufficient detail to achieve a very good mark you are probably much better off doing it yourself.

If you use artificial intelligence for assistance with grammar and sentence construction you must also reference this in the reference section.

Videos can sometimes be a good way to find out more information. There are now some very good animated video tutorials that explain things very well. Here are some for this topic;Stroke

These will give you an overview of the areas of pathology (disease) you are interested in. These can be used as references in your report. Remember, when using a book reference you need to provide the page number in the citation. The eBook links below require a Flinders login.

There are also lots of good physical books in the library on pathology (no e-version available).

Stroke from P852 (remember that you will need to discuss 1. what causes ischemia this is covered elsewhere search atherosclerosis, thrombus and embolism 2. What the consequences of ischemia are hint this involves cell death, particularly necrosis).

Myocardial Infarction p411 (but lots from p 408 in Chapter 11 Heart that relate to this atherosclerosis, cell death and necrosis are also relevant here).
