Stroke (medicine) and grande ecole (sh)


Stroke (medicine)


stroke
<neurology> A condition due to the lack of oxygen to the brain which may lead to reversible or irreversible paralysis.

The damage to a group of nerve cells in the brain is often due to interrupted blood flow, caused by a blood clot or blood vessel bursting. Depending on the area of the brain that is damaged, a stroke can cause coma, paralysis, speech problems and dementia.


grande ecole (sh)




(French: "great school") Any of several preeminent specialized institutions of higher learning in France.

The ecole Polytechnique was founded in 1794 to recruit and train technicians for the army. The ecole Normale Superieure serves mainly to prepare future university and lycee (senior secondary-school) teachers. The ecole Normale d'Administration trains the highest ranks of civil servants. The internationally renowned College de France (founded 1530) is a research institution that offers lectures by eminent scholars; it does not grant degrees or certificates. Other grandes ecoles include institutes for advanced study in social science, architecture, and the arts.
