Research Paper on Chronic Disease No Late Work Accepted Students with the last name beginning with letters A-D: Heart Disease Students with the last name beginning with letters E-K: Stroke Students with the last name beginning with letters L-P: Diabetes Students with the last name beginning with letter Q-Z: Cancer 1. Conduct an online search. Choose three research studies from the Cuyamaca College Library Database concerning an aspect of the disease you are researching. Pick a specific disease as there are many kinds of chronic diseases. For example, you will focus on only one type of cancer: skin cancer, breast cancer, or colon cancer, etc., not all of them. The same goes for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. 2. Write a two-page essay, double-spaced, 12 font, and 1-inch margins. Write using an essay format. Do not use lists or bullets. Use the two pages for your essay. Please, only put your name at the top of the page. Include all the following within your essay: a) A description of the topic you researched. b) The signs and symptoms of the disease. c) The risk factors for the disease. d) What steps you can take to prevent the disease or condition. e) How to maintain a good quality of life if the disease is already present. 3. Please include a reference list/Works Cited for your three sources at the end of your essay. Include all the following: Authors, Date, Article Title, Journal, Publisher, URL. MLA format is acceptable. The Works Cited goes on page 3 and is not part of your 2-page essay. 4. Use citations within your essay for each of your sources.

Chronic Disease Research – Ischemic Stroke
A Description of Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic stroke tends to arise from a decline in the blood flow that moves to the brain
system (Walter, 2022). This decline might contribute to significant damage to brain cells, thereby
triggering ischemic stroke (Walter, 2022). In most instances, the disruption in the blood flow
might occur due to blood clots (Walter, 2022). An in-depth understanding of the disease is
necessary for initiating appropriate preventive measures, which can reduce adverse health
implications.
The Signs and Symptoms of Ischemic Stroke
People with ischemic stroke are more likely to experience a sense of numbness in the leg
or arm (Walter, 2022). Besides, they might depict a droopy face, confusion, and poor
coordination (Walter, 2022). In addition, they might have a hard time speaking, lose their vision,
and struggle to maintain balance (Walter, 2022). These signs and symptoms align with the
challenges that patients with ischemic stroke might have.
The Risk Factors for Ischemic Stroke
In most instances, acute ischemic stroke usually arises from the presence of high blood
pressure (Walter, 2022). Apart from that, people who are susceptible to ischemic stroke tend to
have diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol (Walter, 2022). Others might be cigarette smokers or
even have atrial fibrillation and end-stage kidney disease (Walter, 2022). It is essential to reduce
the severity of these risk factors in order to lower the likelihood of getting an ischemic stroke.
Steps to Prevent Ischemic Stroke
In this case, the at-risk group might benefit from the extensive management of vascular
risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and smoking (Kleindorfer et al., 2021). Besides, at-
