This document provides an overview of strokes, including the different types, how they affect the brain, common signs and symptoms, risk factors, statistics, testing, and rehabilitation. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen. There are two main types - ischemic (caused by clots) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding). Timely treatment is critical to reduce damage. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, prior strokes, smoking, diet, activity level, weight, and medical conditions. Stroke is a leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of death in the United States.
Stroke attack has become very rampant and it has no age barrier. If it does not result into instant death, it could turn the victim into a vegetable for the rest of his life with the quality of life reduced to almost zero. In some instances, it may give some warning signals but in many other cases, no warning will be given.

Hair loss in males can affect the scalp as well as the entire body. Generally, the hair loss in men is due to hereditary, hormonal changes and medical condition. Medications and certain hairstyles & events also lead to hair loss in men. Take preventative measures by learning the main reasons behind hair loss in males shown in this slideshow.
It is normal to lose hair for women but they should be aware of the real causes to be able to find a solution. Usually, hair loss happens due to hereditary issues, hypothyroidism, and iron deficiency. It also depends on the skin condition of the scalp. See the mentioned slideshow to learn the causes of hair loss in women.
Hair loss is a common problem for both men and women, young or old. Although most people lose about 100 hair strands from the head daily, others may lose more hairs gradually either in a diffuse or patchy manner.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes weak and burst causing blood to leak into the brain. Enlarge Hematoma (pooling of blood)http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/interactive/health/0807/explainer.heart.vs.stroke/images/stroke.hemorrhagic.jpg
Ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow is blocked from the brain via blood clot. This happens in two ways:Thrombotic StrokeEmbolic Stroke 85% of strokes are Ischemic http://biomed.brown.edu/Courses/BI108/BI108_2008_Groups/group06/Images/Blood%20clot.JPGhttp://www.americanheart.org
There is no lasting damage because, the blood vessel isn't completely clogged. Either it is letting some blood through but not all. Most likely it was clogged and the bloods pressure pushed it troughIts important because knowing you have them and, seeing a doctor could prevent a major stroke in your future. The hardest part is knowing you have the “mini strokes”. The vessel is only clogged for a short amount of time which means, symptoms occur rapidly. Most TIAs only last up to less then 5 minutes. On average they will only last up to one minute. Warning signs are the same a stroke. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HN8GExyqMeY/SwdqlOxVBEI/AAAAAAAAAjk/8o5lgz2Aeq4/s1600/brain+poor+activity.jpg
A Thrombotic stroke is a stroke caused by a blood clod or called a thrombus. Its develops in the arteries of the brain. Commonly on older people. Especially ones that have high cholesterol or other fat that builds up on the walls of blood vessels. The symptoms of this stroke can occur suddenly. They often happen at night when sleeping or early in the morning. If it is any other times it can gradually build up over hours or days. This is called stroke-in-evolution. Thrombotic stroke can effects large or small parts of the brain. When it effects a smaller part of the brain it is called lacunar stroke.A Thrombotic stroke is caused by fatty plaque to build up on the artery walls, making the blood hard to get to the brain.These storkes work like a regular stroke they will form a blood clot and kill areas of the brin. A much less common cause of thrombotic stroke is migraine headache. In especially severe cases, a migraine headache can cause a brain artery to go into spasm for a long time, which can allow a blood clot to form.http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/assets/2008/10/29/2008102931.jpg
This stroke is some what like a thrombotic stroke. Instead of the blood clot starting in the brain, it will start some where else in the body. Then it travels through the blood stream to the brain artery. This is also called embolus. This type of stroke often happenhttp:as a result of heart surgery or heart disease. This happens without any warning signshttp://www.americanheart.org//www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/295666-25812-59.jpgs

The longer time that it takes for the brain being deprived of blood flow the more tissue will be damaged. The effects of a stoke have many factors. One being location and the other being how much brain tissue is effected. http://pinklilybit.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/question-mark.jpghttp://www.strokeassociation.org

Emotional lability- mood swings, uncontrollable laughing and/or crying also, depression. Neglect or inattention- This occurs when a persons limb is paralyzed. They will completely forget about that part of their body, bumping into things, not dressing themselves fully. Having a stroke also interferes with a person perception. They may now do things differently then before. Such as the the objects they would use in their everyday life now seem pointless. Vision Balance Aphasia- Having trouble understand speech or speaking your mind. This also effects reading and writing This happens when the left side of your brain is effected. Having your left side effect could cause your right side to get weaker. Dysarthria – This happens when you have a stroke and you speech is slurred because the muscles in your mouth have weakened. Dysphagia – When the mouth is weaked causing one not to be able to eat or swallow properly which may cause choking Management of Strokehttp://www.stroke.org

This is extremely important if you are around someone that is having a stroke. Once again time is the key thing when a person is having a stroke. Although you will feel the pressure you need to calm down to act rationally and look for signs of what is happening to the person near you. This is also a good reason to know your family history because you will need to tell the doctor if it were you and you also will know what is wrong if its your grandmother. It will help when you call 911 because the paramedics could then bring something to help the situation at Within the first three hours of symptoms things can be prevented. A clot-bursting drug can reduce long term disabilities. http://www.stroke.org.nz/images/campaigns/campaignsFast.gif
This is very improtant to a person that could be having a stroke. Because time is such an important thing that is something that one cannot stress enough ! Its hard to put your self in someone who is having a stokre in there shoes. Everyone first reaction would be to panick but what if you get up and fall over and hurt your self more. You have to be very careful exspeacailly if you are alone. http://opticalmigraine.org/images/migraine/migraine_250x251.jpghttp://www.calledintowork.com/Editor/assets/double%20vision2.jpgA Practical Understanding Approach
The risk for experiencing a stroke increases with age More women die of stroke than men and risk increases after menopausePregnancy and the use of birth control pills present special risks of stoke for women.Risk for stroke is greater if you have a family history of strokeAfrican American and Hispanic Americans are more likely to have high blood pressure and suffer from strokes earlier in life with more severe results A person who has experienced a stroke in the past is at higher risk of having another one.If you have had a previous stroke, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is critical to reducing potential risk factorswww.americaseniorfirst.comhttp://www.uq.edu.au/weallcount/images/designcomp/dcarroll.jpg100 Questions and Answers about a Stroke
Alcohol is good because it will break down things that could possible stick together and will help prevent clogged arteries. Use of some forms of birth control in conjunction with tobacco products may increase you risk of a stroke. One or Two drinks a day may increase “good” cholesterol (HDL). However excessive alcohol use can contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease. Physical activity can help to reduce other rick factors- high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, excess body weight and diabetesObesity increases your risk not only of stroke but of, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, gallbladder disease, sleep apnea & respiratory problems, some cancers. Limit the consumption of foods that are high in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, salt and refined sugars.Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables, nuts and whole grains.

Most return of function happens the first few days or weeks, if it doesn’t happen within a few months commonly six months then there is little chance change will happen.Although many cases can improve within years by walking, reading, writing, running and talking.It will only improve as much as the patient wants to.This is one of the most hardest thing for the family and the patient because they do tent to get depress and this can cause anger and other things.

In Conclusion, Strokes are a major health problem in the U.S today. In the time it has taken me to do this presentation, it is likely that three more people have suffered from a stroke. It is essential to know the symptoms and how to respond quickly. More Americans need to be aware of stroke symptoms, treatment and best preventative measures. As the population ages, the problem will more likely become worse if unattended. I learned a lot by doing this project and I want to continue spreading hope about this problem. http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/4520/4520,1158111917,2/stock-photo-red-velvet-theater-curtains-over-white-background-1833468.jpg
