Stroke Disparities in Rehabilitation

Patients who suffer from a stroke end up losing some mobility in one or both sides of their body which hinders them from performing their daily functions. This makes strokes one of the leading causes of disability as well as the fifth leading cause of death in the United States (Pinel & Barnes, 2018). The lack of blood supply to the brain creates bodily dysfunction because of the decay of various neural tissues in the brain (Pinel & Barnes, 2018). Since strokes are considered to be one of the leading causes of disability, it is important and necessary that rehabilitation is aimed at helping those who suffer from strokes regain control over their daily operations. After a stroke has occurred, there are multiple rehabilitation options available, but there is a major discrepancy among whether ethnicity, socioeconomic status and location of residency inhibits one’s recovery or not. Some data suggests that there are pretty significant disparities in stroke outcomes in the United States with respect to ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographical area, age, gender and type of rehabilitation, amount of rehabilitation, level of rehabilitation

To Be or Not to Be

“Be” is a fascinating word. It more than captures the attention and rigorously stimulates the imagination. It is everything to everyone all the time, yet poses a formidable challenge to be harnessed and presented in a meaningful way. The word “be” is most often coupled with “to” usually in a passive form. However, great implications result when the action verb form of “be” is used. This has to do with a conscious identity of active being.

Ernest Hemingway\u27s Attitude Toward Women as Revealed in Selected Novels

The problem is to show, in selected novels, that Hemingway\u27s negative attitude toward women is reflected in the creation of female characters who are selfish, corrupt, unchaste, destructive, fickle, irreligious, amoral, possessive, jealous, incontinent, and/or submissive. For the purpose of this study, the writer will use three novels by Ernest Hemingway. There will be no attempt to treat any other of Hemingway\u27s characters or theories other than those dealing with a negative attitude toward women, nor will any work other than the following be considered: The Sun Also Rises A Farewell to Arms For Whom the Bell Toll
