The occurrence of an ischemic stroke arises from the unfortunate circumstance in which a blood vessel becomes impeded or obstructed, resulting from the presence of a clot, atherosclerosis, or the narrowing of arteries. The neurology department of a 300-bed, multi-specialty tertiary teaching hospital was the site of this six-month observational study. Prescriptions for both inpatients and outpatients in the neurology unit, totalling 90, are considered according to the inclusion criteria. Patient case sheets, questionnaires, interviews, biomedical and radiological reports, and drug regimen charts are the main data sources. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients are more prevalent in the over-60 age group than in the 20–35 age group. The information obtained indicates that male patients have greater effects than female ones. Furthermore, our research indicates that AIS is more common in obese and overweight people. One of the main risk factors for developing AIS is alcohol drinking, tobacco chewing, and smoking, which affect most AIS patients. Treatment options for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) include intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT), anti-platelet therapy, anticoagulant therapy, and adjuvant therapies using statins and drugs based on the comorbidities of the patients. This research highlights that individuals with AIS have shown higher progress when physical rehabilitation is combined with intravenous thrombolytic treatment (IVT) for patients with comorbidities. We found that the individuals who continued taking their medicine and therapy after their discharge from the hospital had better motor strength than those who stopped. Our study concludes that the integration of pharmacotherapy with physical rehabilitation yielded significant enhancements in the functional capacity of individuals affected by stroke.

Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy are a major public health concern in both developed and developing countries. Early detection and treatment of maternal health issues reduce the severity of these issues. This study set out to identify possible risk factors of these conditions and evaluate current methods of treatment. Throughout the research (6 months), 80 PIH women who met the inclusion criteria were studied in an observational study. Women in their twenties and thirties are more likely to have pregnancy-induced hypertension. Preeclampsia and gestational hypertension in pregnancy are the most common types. Hypertension issues are more common among pregnant women who are more likely to be obese, have had previous pregnancies, and reside in rural areas. Medication for the treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension is prescribed and administered regarding drugs used for primary hypertension. Methyldopa and labetalol are examples of first-line treatments. Patients with PIH who are about to give birth are given hydralazine intravenously (IV) or nifedipine orally (P.O.) as a second-line treatment. When providing antihypertensive medicines or any other medications, the well-being of both maternal and fetal is taken into consideration. The risks to both mother and child may be reduced with prompt treatment with additional, safe medications.
