Symptoms of Stroke

Strokes are more common, and just as serious, as you think. It is one of the leading causes of disability and death. It is important to know the warning signs and body language that suggest someone may be experiencing a stroke.

If you didn't know already, a stroke is the rapid loss of brain function due to a disturbance in blood supply to the brain. A stroke is a serious medical emergency that can cause permanent neurological damage and even death. The risk factors for stroke include old age, high blood pressure, previous strokes, diabetes, high cholesterol and tobacco smoking. Strokes are currently the second leading cause of death worldwide.

So what are the warning signs?

It is crucial to know the warning signs for strokes because the sooner they are treated and addressed, the less chance that there will be serious damage to the brain. Stroke symptoms can develop gradually, but usually the symptoms appear rather suddenly and without warning. Stroke symptoms include:

-Numbness or weakness in the face, arm, leg and especially on one side of the body

-Sudden confusion or trouble understanding other people

-Trouble speaking or a sudden slurring of words when an individual typically does not have difficulty with speech

-Trouble seeing in one or both eyes

-Trouble walking, staying balanced or coordinated. This, together with the sudden pain, are usually why some people affected by stroke will suddenly fall down

-Dizziness or light-headedness

-Severe headaches that come on for no apparent reason

There are also various kinds of strokes that you should be aware of:

Ischemic Stroke: This kind of stroke happens when a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain becomes blocked for a variety of reasons, most common being a sudden blood clot.

Hemorrhagic Stroke: This is a very serious form of stroke because it occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain.

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): This is considered a 'mini stroke', usually from a temporary blockage. TIA does not cause permanent damage to the brain, but it may cause some of the stroke warning signs listed above, some of which may last anywhere from minutes to hours. These are warning signs that you should not ignore.

What should you do if you or a loved one has symptoms?

-Don't ignore the warning signs: even if you have only one of the warning signs consult a doctor or hospital immediately

-Don't wait because every minute counts!

-Call emergency services if you or a loved one experiences one or more of the symptoms within a few minutes

-Check the time when the symptoms begin so that you can share this information when you arrive at the hospital.

Watch an instructional video by survivors of stroke on the importance of recognizing stroke body language and symptoms.

Periodic Fasting May Help Prevent Diabetes

Periodic fasting may convert bad cholesterol to energy and reduce the risk of diabetes through a new biological process discovered by researchers.
According to a recent study, after a person fasts for a period of 10 to 12 hours, the body searchers for alternative sources of energy. During that process, researchers note that the body extracts low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from fat cells and converts it into energy.
"When we studied the effects of fasting in apparently healthy people, cholesterol levels increased during the 1-time 24-hour fast," said Benjamin Horne, PhD, the study's lead researcher and director of cardiovascular and genetic epidemiology at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute.
"Together with our prior studies that showed decades of routine fasting was associated with a lower risk of diabetes and coronary artery disease, this led us to think that fasting is most impactful for reducing the risk of diabetes and related metabolic problems."
After reviewing the results of a previous study that showed an association between 1-day, water-only fasting in health participants and weight loss and lower glucose levels, Horne and colleagues conducted a new study to look at how fasting affects prediabetes over an extended period of time.
Participants included pre diabetes patients—men and women between the ages of 30 and 69—that exhibited at least 3 metabolic risk factors (high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar, high triglyceride level, and a large waistline).
Horne noted that during fasting days, cholesterol increased slightly, however, over a 6-week period, patients lost weight and their cholesterol levels waned by approximately 12%.
Researchers also observed that the conversion process of LDL (through fat cells) to energy nullified insulin resistance.
"The fat cells themselves are a major contributor to insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes," Horne said. "Because fasting may help to eliminate and break down fat cells, insulin resistance may be frustrated by fasting."

Ayurvedic treatment for fractures

$fracture-ayurveda$ Fracture of a bone can occur at any time to anybody, during a fall, or an accident, and at times due to osteoporosis, and bone cancer. Whatever the case, it requires immediate attention. The Ayurvedic term for fracture isBhagna. Ayurveda offers effective treatment for rejoining bones and restoring them to their original form and strength.

Generally, bone being a living tissue, constantly builds and hence rejoins and nourishes. Ayurveda is quite popular in its methods of treating fractures, with the treatment practices for bone fractures being centuries old, starting from the age of Susruta, the first-ever surgeon in the history of medicine.

In Ayurveda, bone fractures are classified into two types " dislocation and fracture. Ayurveda adopts the ˜touch and analyze method for diagnosis. The diagnosis is made by touching and analysing the appearance of the affected part. The treatment methods adopted are bone setting, medicines, therapies, splints or slings, as required. Splints are made with bamboo pieces in different shapes and thickness.

There are traditional bone setters and Kalari masters, the martial art practitioners in Kerala, who are experts in this field. They have sufficient skill in manipulating bones and aligning it in the right manner, which is vital in management of bone fractures, than medicines taken internally.

In fact, bone setting is a special art that requires practical knowledge. It involves pulling and adjusting the bones gently, back to their original position. Thereafter, herbal medicines in the form of pastes are applied to rejoin the splints and the bones. When joining, the bones, muscle, ligaments and tendons are also healed.

One of the main advantages of ayurvedic treatment for bone fracture or dislocation, is its external and internal use of herbal medicines in various forms, which shows great results in reducing pain, healing wounds, and joining bones. Some ingredients used when making such medicines are egg white, wheat flour, milk, ghee and sugar, along with herbal pastes such as Kasamarda and Kumari.

Oil massage therapies are also a popular method adopted in Ayurveda, in shaping the bones back to their original form. Methods such as steaming, and application of herbal pastes, also reduce pain and inflammation. Depending on the condition of the patient,Panchakarma Therapy is also done..

In cases where fracture has occurred on marma points (vital areas), special attention is required. Only expert Ayurvedacharyas can manage and treat complicated multiple fractures.

The main aim of the treatment process in fractures is to restore functional abilities of the individual. In cases of bone problems occurring due to old age and chronic diseases, treatment is difficult and may take longer time, but, the process of healing is quicker in young people.

The duration of rehabilitation also depends on the type of fracture, and associated soft tissue involvement, location of fracture, and method of stabilization. Depending on the stability of fracture, motion exercises may be recommended for adjacent joints, followed by strengthening exercises. Once, the healing is restored completely, the individual can continue with regular activities of daily living.
