New Delhi [India], October 30: If a paralyzed patient is not treated promptly, the brain's aging process can accelerate, typically equating to an age range of 35 to 40 years. This means that the challenges associated with old age, such as memory loss, impaired thinking abilities, and difficulty in speech, may manifest post-paralysis and persist. However, timely treatment can effectively manage and control strokes. In observance of World Stroke Day, neurology specialists in Jaipur provided insights into the causes, prevention, and modern techniques for treating strokes.
Dr Suresh Gupta :-
Dr Suresh Gupta is a distinguished figure in the field of neurology, currently serving as the Chairman of the Department of Neurosciences at Eternal Hospital in Jaipur. With a rich experience spanning over three decades, his expertise encompasses a wide spectrum of neurological areas, with a focus on epilepsy, stroke, and neuro-muscular disorders. Dr Gupta's educational background is equally impressive, holding an MBBS from RNT Medical College, Udaipur, an MD in Medicine from the same institution, and a DM in Neurology from NIMHANS, Bangalore. He further honed his skills with advanced training in Neuro Electro Physiology in Hannover, Germany. His contributions to the field have been recognized with prestigious awards, including the Shiv Charan Gupta Memorial Trust Award and the 4th Decade SD Trust Award.
Dr Gupta places great emphasis on the primary indicators of a stroke, which are essential to recognize promptly. These indicators include facial distortion, alterations in voice, and weakness in one part of the body accompanied by muscle strength loss. The importance of swift medical attention cannot be overstated, as once a stroke begins, approximately 2 million brain cells perish every minute. Brain strokes stand as the third leading cause of mortality among patients in India, underlining the urgency of awareness and prevention. Several risk factors contribute to the likelihood of experiencing a brain stroke, including elevated blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a previous history of heart disease. Awareness and proactive management of these risk factors are vital in reducing the incidence of strokes.
Dr Surya Prakash Patidar :-
Dr Surya Prakash Patidar is a highly regarded Neurologist in Jaipur, renowned for his extensive experience and commitment to patient well-being. With a focus on neurology, he excels in treating conditions such as epilepsy, headaches, strokes, and migraines. Dr Patidar practices at Jeevan Rekha Hospital in Jaipur, where he is a trusted figure in the medical community. His educational background includes an MBBS from SMS Medical College, Jaipur in 2001, MD from JLN Medical College, Ajmer in 2006, and DM in Neurology from the Institute of Medical Sciences at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi in 2011. Dr Surya Prakash Patidar is dedicated to providing advanced medical care to his patients.
Dr SP Patidar explained that there exist two primary categories of brain strokes: those resulting from a blocked blood vessel and those arising from the rupture of a blood vessel. In instances of a stroke caused by a blood vessel rupture, surgical intervention can be life-saving. The longer the delay in addressing a brain stroke, the swifter the deterioration of brain cells. Therefore, instead of attempting home care, it's imperative for the patient to reach the hospital at the earliest and initiate treatment. The period spanning three to four and a half hours, often referred to as the golden period, holds immense significance for treatment.
Dr Madan Mohan Gupta :-
Dr Madan Mohan Gupta, a highly skilled practitioner in Advanced Therapeutic Neurointerventions and Interventional Neuro-Radiology, specializes in addressing complex brain and spinal vascular disorders. He holds a DM in Neuro Imaging and Interventional Neuro-radiology from AIIMS, New Delhi, along with an MD in Radio-Diagnosis (with top university honors) from Shri MP Shah Medical College, Jamnagar, Gujarat. Dr Gupta, a distinguished MBBS gold medalist from PDU Government Medical College, Rajkot, has undergone extensive training in Advanced Neuro and Vascular Interventional Radiology at prestigious institutions like Seth G S Medical College, KEM Hospital, Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre, Mumbai, and AIIMS, New Delhi, honing his expertise. His special interests lie in Endo Vascular treatment, including Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Stroke, Aneurysm Coiling, and stent-assisted procedures.
Neurointervention specialist Dr Madanmohan Gupta highlighted that beyond pharmaceutical approaches, stroke treatment also encompasses a procedure known as mechanical thrombectomy. This non-surgical method effectively opens a blood vessel in the brain obstructed by a blood clot and has the potential to alleviate paralysis. Mechanical thrombectomy is employed when the patient cannot reach the hospital within the crucial three to four and a half hours, often referred to as the golden period, for various reasons such as medication unavailability, or if clot removal attempts with medicine prove ineffective due to persistent blockages in the vessel.
