Chapters

El Dr. Steinberg explica qué es un derrame cerebral, un aneurisma y una hemorragia, y cómo se relacionan entre sí. También analiza los factores de coagulación y estilo de vida que afectan la coagulación, y cómo saber si se tiene un coágulo que podría llegar al cerebro.
  • Un derrame cerebral es una interrupción del flujo sanguíneo al cerebro, ya sea por un vaso sanguíneo bloqueado o una hemorragia.
  • El 87% de los derrames cerebrales se deben a un coágulo, mientras que el 13% son causados por una hemorragia.
  • Los factores genéticos y de estilo de vida pueden influir en la coagulación.
  • Es posible que no se sepan si se tienen coágulos que podrían desprenderse.

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Gary Steinberg, MD, PhD), a neurosurgeon and a professor of neurosciences, neurosurgery, and neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss brain health and brain injuries, including concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, aneurysm, and transient ischemic attacks (TIA). We discuss key and lesser-known risk factors for brain health and explain how certain treatments and medications can improve brain health and cognitive function.

We also cover novel mechanisms to improve recovery after concussions and brain injury, including the use of stem cells, temperature (mild hypothermia), and vagus nerve stimulation. Dr. Steinberg also describes new advances in neurosurgery and minimally invasive brain augmentation.

This episode ought to be of interest to anyone seeking actionable tools to improve their brain health and for those seeking to improve recovery after a brain injury such as concussion, stroke, aneurysm, or TBI.
