Glossary
clude adjustment to real and perceived changes that take place in life. Biologically and psychologically, stress places the individual in an abnormal state that can have deleterious affects if prolonged.
Stress Urinary Incontinence Definition The complaint of involuntary leakage of urine on effort or exertion, or on sneezing or coughing.
Stressor Definition Any event or stimulus, real or perceived, that threatens homeostasis and produces reaction and adjustment in an individual.
Stroke Definition According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the definition of stroke is: ‘‘rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (or global) disturbance of cerebral function, with symptoms lasting 24 h or longer or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than of vascular origin’’. The pathological origin for stroke may either be ischemic or hemorrhagic disturbances of the cerebral blood circulation.
Stroke Model Definition A model that tries to summarize the natural history of the condition, in a sequela that points to the most important phases of evolution of the condition itself, referring to a particular definition of the event that initiates the condition (e.g., first-ever stroke).
Stroke Subtypes Definition Stroke can be divided into ischemic, which includes 4/5 of all stroke, and hemorrhagic subtypes.
Stroke Unit Care Synonyms Organized Inpatient Care Definition Stroke units apply a systematic approach to stroke care with specialized personnel, treatment protocols, multidisciplinary teams, and geographically defined areas.
Structural Equation Modeling Definition A statistical technique for testing and estimating causal relationships among previously identified factors. Structural regression coefficients indicate the magnitude and direction of the relationship among the factors.
Stroke Care Units Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Definition A localized ward or ward area in a hospital with dedicated and specialized multidisciplinary staff providing care to stroke patients.
Definition Bleeding that occurs on the surface of the brain.
