A 61-year-old business executive with a long history of high blood pressure collapsed while jogging over the lunch hour. His jog

ging mate quickly contacted a police officer who helped carry the man to a hospital just down the road. At the hospital, an MRI was performed that revealed a blockage of a major cerebral artery and ischemic changes to the portion of the brain supplied by that artery. With quick medical attention, the man was stabilized, and he slowly improved over the next three weeks.
The following signs and symptoms did persist, however:
- paralysis of the right leg and foot
- loss of sensation on the skin of the right leg and foot
- when blindfolded, inability to identify a tennis ball placed in the left hand, but ability to name it if placed in the right hand
- inability to throw the tennis ball with his left hand, but ability to throw it with his right hand

Answer:

Left Cerebrovascular Incident (Left Ischemic Stroke) with right hemiparesis

Explanation:

Blood pressure increases when a person is involved in physical activity. A history of high blood pressure can result in weakening of the arterial walls overtime, this can lead to blockage of the arteries which means that part of the brain does not receive adequate blood and oxygen supply resulting in in cells of that part of the brain dying, hence ischemic stroke.

As a result, parts of the body supplied by the affected part of the brain will be impaired, eg. weakness, decreased sensation, etc.

aniked [119]

Answer:

Most likely he has injured his <u>Calcaneal tendon</u> and the bulge is <u>triceps surae or calf muscle.</u>

Explanation:

The calcaneal tendon is the thickest tendon, which is present at the back of the lower leg and begins at the middle of the calf. It is covered with skin and fascia and connects the bones with the muscles.

The calf muscles or the triceps surae, are the muscles present in the calf of the leg.The calf muscles act via the tendon and cause flexion of the knee and the ankle.

<u>While exercising, an overuse of the calcaneal tendon, can result in pulling of the calf muscles from the Achilles tendon. Thus causing a tear in the calf muscle, which appears like a bulge.</u>
