A simple and small college powerpoint presentation I had made for an ICT class. It's to demonstrate a basic knowledge of a specific topic in our field of study, as well as to create a powerpoint using different methods to optimize its effectiveness in presenting information to an audience.

2. WHAT IS A STROKE?
A stroke (CVA- Cerebro Vascular Accident) can be caused by bleeding in the brain or by a
blood clot that blocks blood flow to the brain.

● Exercise intensity is of ample importance when
dealing with a patient whose suffered from a
