“…A stroke is a cerebrovascular event that results in the abrupt death of specific brain cells from a lack of oxygen when a blood vessel blockage or rupture cuts off the blood supply to the brain. 1 WHO defines stroke series of quickly growing clinical indications of a localized or global disruption of brain function, longer than one day or resulting in mortality, with no clear etiology other than a vascular origin. 2 Acute ischemic stroke is also regarded as a neurological dysfunction event brought on by localized brain, spine, or retinal infractions.…”

Background: Stroke is a major cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Identifying prognostic markers and mortality predictors is essential for successful intervention and treatment of ischemic stroke. The study aims to examine the role of serum ferritin as a prognostic indicator for stroke severity in conjunction with national institute of health stroke scale (NIHSS) and MRS stroke scales. Furthermore, the association of serum ferritin and several associated risk factors for stroke was also studied. Methods: This study conducted was cross-sectional. 143 patients with acute ischemic stroke who attended the general medicine OPD within 24 hours of admission after the onset of stroke were taken into consideration. Only those patients who matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken for analysis. Acute ischemic stroke patients were admitted with verbal consent, medical background, routine blood, neurological examination, and CT scan, NIHSS scoring, treatment protocols, anti-edema measures, and modified Rankin scale for functional recovery after four weeks. Results: In the present study, 80% were males, and 20% were females. Most study participants were 51-60 years (38%). The mean age is 58.87 years, and the standard deviation is 11.41. About 35% were smokers, 38% were alcoholics, 56% were diabetic, 68% were hypertensives, and 35% had lipid disorders. There is a statistically significant correlation between serum ferritin and the severity of stroke based on the NIHSS scale and the Modified Rankin scale. Conclusions: The study demonstrates the use of serum ferritin as an indicative marker for prognosis patients having an acute ischemic stroke. However, monitoring during follow-up did not show any benefit. The current study glorifies the simplistic use of a serum marker.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in the Republic of South Africa (RSA), surpassing all cancers combined. It is estimated that the disease is responsible for 215 deaths daily, with a 17.3% death rate. Common risk factors for the disease include hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesteremia, overweight and obesity, smoking, and stress. Contrary to well-known diseases like HIV/AIDS and TB, CVD does not enjoy enough publicity and attention from the population. This indicates a lack of awareness and concern for the disease among the general people, resulting in the disease being a continued burden on the healthcare system of RSA. The objective of this study was to examine the aetiology and classifications of CVD, identify cardiovascular risk factors, and explore strategies for preventing and managing the condition.
