Up to twelve percent of ischemic strokes often cause death within thirty days and is among the largest health burdens in developed countries. It is worth noting that the epidemiology of stroke has been changing because of several factors, with the most important being an ageing population, as well as advancements in the treatment of the condition. Stroke prevalence is projected to increase globally as the population of individuals aged above sixty-five years augments (Ovbiagele et al., 2013, p. 2363). Ovbiagele et al.
Who is to predict that we will not be involved with data collection for the future research on the current H1N1 flu and its effect on the pregnant mothers and their unborn child? From module 4 readings and specifically from the model of viral and immune causes of schizophrenia, one can explain an increase in the rate of schizophrenia. For example, maternal infection with H1N1 flu during the second trimester of pregnancy can lead to increased risk of schizophrenia later in life amongst their offspring (Sadock & Sadock 2007). Studies have shown that when you infect a pregnant animal with different respiratory viruses, it can lead to abnormal cognitive and behavioral problems. Some other studies have shown that the 20th centuries flu's correlate with an increased risk of schizophrenia.

Smoking increases the risk of lung disease, for instance, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that is a collective term for a group of diseases such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis. In fact, the rate of decline in lung function can be three times the usual rate in smokers. As lung function declines, breathlessness begins. Another common problem that smoking causes is that it raises blood pressure, which can cause hypertension, and this is a risk factor for heart attacks and stroke. A research of “American Lung Association and American Heart Association” reviewed by “Elizabeth Klodas, MD, FACC” on May 08, 2012. http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure says that about 30% of all deaths from heart disease in the U.S. are directly related to cigarette smoking.
The amount of time around certain medications can cause damage to the RN'S internal organs.
