Thus, when the wing descends it draws after it a strong current, which, being met by the wing during its ascent, greatly increases the efficacy of the up stroke.
Similarly and conversely, when the wing ascends, it creates an upward current, which, being met by the wing when it descends, powerfully contributes to the efficiency of the down stroke.
If, again, the wing be suddenly elevated in a strictly vertical direction, as at c d, the wing as certainly darts upwards and forwards in a double curve to e, thus converting the vertical up strokes into an upward, oblique, forward stroke.
The down stroke with the artificial as with the natural wing is invariably converted into an oblique, downward and forward stroke.
The old idea was that the wings during the down stroke pushed the body of the bird in an upward and forward direction; in reality the wings do not push but pull, and in order to pull they must always be in advance of the body to be flown.
In this figure the spaces between the double dotted lines (c g, i b) represent the down strokes, the single dotted line (h, i) representing the up stroke.
If any one watches the horizontal or upward flight of a large bird he will observe that the posterior or flexible margin of the wing never rises during the down stroke to a perceptible extent, so that the under surface of the wing, as a whole, never looks backwards.
On the contrary, he will perceive that the under surface of the wing (during the down stroke) invariably looks forwards and forms a true kite with the horizon, the angles made by the kite varying at every part of the down stroke, as shown more particularly at c d e f g, i j k l m of fig.
It is furnished with springs at its root to contribute to its continued play, and is applied to the air by a direct piston action in such a way that it descends in a downward and forward direction during the down stroke, and ascends in an upward and forward direction during the up stroke.
During the up stroke of the piston the wing is very decidedly convex on its upper surface (a b c d, A A'); its under surface (e f g h, A A') being deeply concave and inclined obliquely upwards and forwards.
It thus evades, to a considerable extent, the air during the up stroke.
During the down stroke of the piston the wing is flattened out in every direction, and its extremities twisted in such a manner as to form two screws, as seen at a' b' c' d', e' f' g' h', B, B'.

An ischemic stroke - the most common form of stroke in children under age 15 - is caused by a blocked or narrowed artery.
A hemorrhagic stroke-the more common form of stroke in infants and children under age two-occurs when a weakened blood vessel leaks or bursts, causing bleeding in the brain tissue or near the surface of the brain.
A transient ischemic attack (TIA), also called a "mini stroke," is characterized by a short-term blood vessel obstruction or clot that tends to resolve itself quickly, usually within 10-20 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
However, a TIA is a strong indicator of an ischemic stroke and should be evaluated in the same way as a stroke to prevent a more serious attack.
Childhood stroke is relatively rare, occurring in about two to three of every 100,000 children aged one to 14 per year.
In comparison, stroke occurs in about 100 of every 100,000 adults per year.
The rate of ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke is similar among children aged one to 14.
Stroke occurs more frequently in children under age two, and peaks in the perinatal period.
In the National Hospital Discharge Survey from 1980-1998, the rate of stroke for infants less than 30 days old (per 100,000 live births per year) was 26.4, with rates of 6.7 for hemorrhagic stroke and 17.8 for ischemic stroke.
More fatal strokes occur in African-American children than white children, mirroring the racial differences of stroke in adults.

Boys have a 1.28-fold higher risk of stroke than girls and have a higher case-fatality rate for ischemic stroke than girls.
Research conducted by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS) indicates a "stroke belt," or geographical area where fatal strokes are more predominant.
This stroke belt includes Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Researchers examined death certificates over a 19-year period and found a 21 percent higher risk of death from stroke in people under age 20 in the stroke belt states had compared with the same age group in other states.
During the same period, people over age 25 in the stroke belt region had a 20 percent higher risk of death from stroke.
Because the overall rate of stroke in children is low, researchers warn parents in these states not to be too alarmed.
The cause of childhood stroke is unknown in one-third of cases, and an underlying medical condition or multiple conditions appear to contribute to over half of the cases.

In most children, the diagnosis of stroke is delayed by more than 24 hours from the onset of symptoms.
The medical history helps the physician evaluate the presence of other conditions or disorders that might have caused the stroke.
However, the two tests are comparable when used to evaluate the effects of a hemorrhagic stroke.
Other tests to diagnose stroke may include a transcranial Doppler ultrasound and neurosonogram.
Initial treatment depends on the type of stroke.
For an ischemic stroke, initial emergent treatment focuses on restoring blood flow to the brain.
For a hemorrhagic stroke, the goal of initial treatment is to control the bleeding.
Children with a hemorrhagic stroke may be transferred to a center with neurosurgical facilities so the proper treatment, such as decompression or hydrocephalus drainage, can be provided by skilled specialists.
Adult stroke patients who receive treatment within three hours after the onset of stroke symptoms may receive a "clot-busting" medication called t-PA.
However, the diagnosis of stroke is rarely made within three hours, so the use of this drug in children is uncommon.
Researchers agree that further studies are needed to determine the proper dosage and effectiveness of aspirin and other anticoagulant medications for treating stroke in children.

The need for surgical treatment for pediatric stroke will depend on a number of factors, including the type of stroke, extent of damage from stroke, the child's age, and potential benefits and risks.
Treatment options for hemorrhagic stroke may include surgery, sterotactic radiotherapy, or interventional neuroradiology to treat the underlying aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation.
There are several surgical procedures to repair an aneurysm that may have caused a hemorrhagic stroke.
This procedure is not as common as the other surgical treatments listed above to treat pediatric stroke but it may be used to treat recurrent TIAs.

According to a 2000 study published in the Journal of Child Neurology, the outcome of childhood stroke was a moderate or severe deficit in 42 percent of cases.

When a stroke affects a child whose brain is still developing, it is thought that the developing brain may be able to compensate for the functions that were lost as a result of a stroke.
Recovery from stroke is different with each child.
Overall, the degree of permanent disability after a stroke is less in children than in adults.
Speech and language problems usually improve rapidly in the first year after a stroke.
Almost all children recover the ability to walk independently after a stroke, unless there is another condition that causes disability.
Recovery of function in the affected arm and hand is usually the most significant movement problem after a stroke.

Despite current treatment, one out of 10 children with ischemic stroke will have a recurrence within five years.
