Babies born at less than 37 weeks gestation (premature) have different nutritional needs than babies born at full term (after 38 weeks). Premature babies will often stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. There they are watched closely to make sure they are getting the right balance of fluids and nutrition.
Watershed Stroke. Watershed strokes. are usually the result of poor blood flow to the brain from occlusion of the arteries in the neck (from atherosclerosis) or periods of poor cardiac function, such as during a heart attack.
Most strokes are caused by an abrupt. blockage of an artery (ischemic stroke). Other. strokes are caused by bleeding into brain tissue. when a blood vessel bursts (hemorrhagic stroke). The effects of a stroke depend on the severity and. which area of the brain is injured. Strokes may. cause sudden weakness, loss of sensation, or. difficulty with speaking, seeing, or walking. Since. different parts of the brain control different areas. and functions, it is usually the area immediately.
