1. introduction
The brain is clearly the central computer,
which controls all the functions of the body. It is
the most active and complex area of the body,
which means that when something goes wrong
with the body, the brain is often the first thing to
be affected and the last thing to improve.
Therefore, the initial approach to treating any
problems of the body is exactly as taking good care
of the brain itself.
CEREBRAL ANEURYSM is not an unusual brain problem. It is the enlargement of
the wall of a cerebral artery or vein. Aneurysms affect arteries throughout the body,
including blood vessels in the brain. Although more common in adults than
children, cerebral aneurysms occur in all age groups. Cerebral aneurysms are more
common—and the risk of aneurysm generally increases—with age; the motivation
why the group conducted the Seminar entitled:
TICK-TOCK: Methods and Mechanisms of
Cerebral Aneurysm

O Lord mighty God, Lord of all
Blessed are they whose dwelling

Blest are they refreshed by springs and by rain
When dryness daunts and scathes
Behold my shield

My strength are You alone
My glory, my king and my God!
