The document discusses stroke, which occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. There are two main types of stroke - ischemic (caused by blockage) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding). Some key risk factors for stroke include hypertension, heart disease, smoking, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or "mini-strokes" involve temporary blockages and are important to address because they can lead to full strokes if not treated. Recognizing stroke symptoms and responding quickly by calling emergency services can help reduce long-term effects.

Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel inside the brain bursts, accounting for 20% of all strokes. There are two main types: intracerebral hemorrhage, which occurs within the brain tissue, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, which occurs between the brain and the skull. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, cocaine use, and alcohol. Symptoms include sudden severe headache, confusion, trouble seeing or walking, and numbness. Treatment depends on the type of hemorrhage but may involve surgery, medication to control blood pressure, and lifestyle changes to prevent future strokes.
TYPES OF STROKE.pptx
1) Ischemic stroke, which accounts for about 87% of stroke cases, occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen.
2) The main types of ischemic stroke are thrombotic, caused by blood clots; embolic, caused by clots traveling from other parts of the body to the brain; and artery to artery embolism.
3) Common risk factors for ischemic stroke include atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation, heart attack, and hypercoagulable disorders.
Stroke epidemiology
Hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for stroke globally. Stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, with low and middle income countries like those in Africa having the highest burden. While prevention through control of risk factors like hypertension is critical, many resource-limited areas lack adequate acute stroke care and rehabilitation services.

CHRONICILLNESSANDAGING.ppt
This document discusses chronic illnesses that are common in older adults, including heart disease, cancer, and cerebrovascular disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among older adults and is often due to atherosclerosis narrowing the arteries and reducing blood flow. Cancer rates also increase with age due to long latency periods of carcinogens accumulating in the body over time. Stroke results from changes in the blood vessels supplying the brain and can cause paralysis or speech impairments. Risk factors for these conditions include smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity.
Stroke Awareness
This document discusses stroke, its causes, symptoms, treatments, and importance of early intervention. Stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked by a clot or ruptures, depriving brain tissue of oxygen. Early recognition of stroke symptoms using the FAST test and immediate medical treatment are crucial, as every minute of delay causes further brain damage. Specialized stroke units and clot-busting drugs within 4.5 hours of symptoms can significantly improve outcomes. Rehabilitation is also important for recovery. Lifestyle changes can help prevent additional strokes. Public awareness and advocacy are needed to improve stroke care worldwide.

The main types of stroke are ischemic, caused by a blockage, and hemorrhagic, caused by a bleed in the brain. Signs of stroke include sudden numbness, confusion, trouble seeing or walking. Treatment for ischemic stroke focuses on clot-busting drugs, while hemorrhagic stroke requires controlling bleeding and pressure in the brain through drugs or surgery. Transient ischemic attacks are mini-strokes with temporary blockages treated through lifestyle changes and preventative medicines.
Ischaemic Stroke.pptx
Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain, cutting off blood flow and oxygen, and can be caused by conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or smoking; symptoms include numbness, confusion, vision problems, or severe headache; treatment focuses on dissolving clots with drugs like alteplase, reducing risk factors through lifestyle changes and medications, and managing complications.

Hypertension sequel 1
Hypertension can lead to several serious health conditions:
1. It increases the risk of heart disease by damaging blood vessels and causing the heart to work harder, which can lead to left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, and coronary artery disease with heart attacks.
2. It is a major risk factor for stroke by damaging blood vessels in the brain.
3. It can cause aneurysms by weakening artery walls over time, potentially leading to ruptures with internal bleeding.
Cardio awarness newer
Cardiovascular disorders, also known as heart disease, are the leading cause of death worldwide. Some key points covered in the document include:
- The cardiovascular system includes the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. Common cardiovascular disorders include hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, angina, heart attack and stroke.
- Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a major risk factor for heart disease. In Pakistan, it is estimated that 18% of adults have hypertension, but only 12.5% have it adequately controlled.
- Other risk factors for heart disease include smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet, obesity and high cholesterol. Managing risk factors can help prevent heart disease.
Stroke
Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen. The two main types are ischemic, caused by blockage of an artery, and hemorrhagic, caused by a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and family history. Symptoms depend on the affected brain region and can include paralysis and cognitive impairments. Treatment focuses on dissolving clots or repairing ruptured vessels to restore blood flow. Nearly 800,000 Americans experience a stroke each year, making it a leading cause of disability and death.
Stroke and Prevention
Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the US. Someone has a stroke every 40 seconds, and every 4 minutes someone dies of stroke. The main risk factors for stroke are high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, diet, physical inactivity, obesity, and heart diseases. The signs of a stroke include sudden numbness, confusion, vision problems, trouble walking, and severe headache. Proper prevention methods include monitoring blood pressure and glucose, maintaining a healthy diet and weight, and engaging in regular physical activity.
Stroke/types/risk factors/recognition of stroke
Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease.
It affects the arteries leading to and within the
brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel
that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain
is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When
that happens, part of the brain cannot get the
blood and oxygen it needs, so it starts to die.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Stroke Awareness
- 2. INTRODUCTION • Stroke is a disease that effects the blood vessels going to the brain- Defined as a cerebral deficit lasting more than 24hrs or leading to death with no apparent cause other than a vascular one. • Stroke occurs due to problems with the blood supply to the brain: either the blood supply is blocked or a blood vessel within the brain ruptures, causing brain tissue to die and sometimes called a “ brain attack”. • It is 3rd most common cause of death and disability
- 3. WHY IS IT AN EMERGENCY? • Most common reason for disability • Appx. 1 in 4 people die within 1 year • 30%- 50% do not regain functional independence • Annual incidence rate of stroke in India currently is 145 per 100,000 population • 10%-15% occur in < 40 age • WHO estimates suggest that by 2050, 80% stroke cases in the world would occur in low and middle income countries mainly India and China
- 5. TYPES OF STROKE • Ischemic Stroke (blockage)- Caused by blockage in blood vessel in brain • Hemorrhagic stroke (Bleeding)- Caused by burst or leaking blood vessels in brain
- 6. STROKE RISK FACTORS THAT CANNOT BE TREATED • Age • Sex • Race • Prior Stroke • Family History
- 7. STROKE RISK FACTORS THAT CAN BE TREATED • Hypertension/ High blood Pressure • Heart disease • Cigarette smoking • Transient ischemic attacks • Diabetes • Elevated blood cholesterol/lipids
- 8. RISK AND STROKE • Stroke kills more than twice as many women every year as breast cancer. • More women than men die from stroke • Women over age 30 who smoke and take high-estrogen oral contraceptives have a stroke risk 22 times higher than average • Incidence is nearly double among African Americans than that of Caucasian and also suffer more extensive physical impairments.

- 11. WHAT IS MINI- STROKE AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? • Transient ischemic attacks “TIA” are temporary blockage of brain blood vessel. • In these cases stroke symptoms are present for short periods. • If the treatment is not started many patients develop permanent stroke. • Treatment can prevent permanent stroke from happening.
