The analysis of the Global Burden of Disease, which shows that globally the lifetime risk of stroke has risen and now stands at 1 in 4. Combined with the Interstroke findings that showed around 90% of strokes are linked to a small number of easily addressed risk factors, the potential impact of public understanding of stroke risk and prevention awareness is clear.
This year my message When it comes to stroke, think prevention – Don’t be the one.’is relevant and essential to everyone about stroke
Stroke is not prevented by hoping it will never happen to you. This campaign encourages everyone to be proactive by understanding their stroke risk and taking the steps to prevent stroke and its devastating consequences.
While our efforts on World Stroke Day are largely directed towards raising public awareness of the steps we can all take to reduce our risk, the 2019 campaign is a key component of our strategic commitment to 'Cut Stroke in Half'.
Stroke in India
Developing countries like India are facing a double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in our country. The estimated adjusted prevalence rate of stroke range, 84-262/100,000 in rural and 334-424/100,000 in urban areas. The incidence rate is 119-145/100,000 based on the recent population based studies. There is also a wide variation in case fatality rates with the highest being 42% .
Why stroke matters
A stroke can happen to anyone, at anytime and anywhere. Today stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide and the second leading cause of death, but almost all strokes could be prevented.
This year 14.5 million people will have a stroke, 5.5 million people will die as a result.
80 million people have survived stroke worldwide.
Many stroke survivors face significant challenges that include physical disability, communication difficulties, changes in how they think and feel, loss of work, income
and social networks.
Learn about stroke
Stroke happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. Without blood, brain cells can be damaged or die.
Nearly 14 million people will have a stroke this year and around 5.5 million people will die as a result. Stroke can have different short- and long-term effects depending on which part of the brain is affected and how quickly it is treated.
Survivors can experience wide ranging disabilities including difficulties with mobility and speech, as well as how they think and feel. Fast access to treatment saves lives and improves stroke recovery.
Types of stroke
There are two main types of stroke, ischemic and haemorrhagic.
Ischemic strokes
These strokes occur as a result of an obstruction in a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. An obstruction of blood flow in the blood vessel can cause a blood clot to form, this is called a cerebral thrombosis. The main cause of cerebral thromboses are fatty deposits in blood vessels and arteries (atherosclerosis).
Blood vessels can also be blocked by a blood clot that has formed in another part of the body, usually the heart or large arteries of the upper chest and neck. Sometimes a portion of a blood clot breaks loose, enters the bloodstream and travels through the brain's blood vessels until it reaches vessels too small to let it pass. This is called a cerebral embolism. The main cause of this kind of clot is an irregular heartbeat, known as atrial fibrillation (AF).
Haemorrhagic strokes
Haemorrhagic strokes happen when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain. The blood builds up and creates pressure on the surrounding brain tissue. These bleeds can be caused by an aneurysm or an arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
Aneurysm
An aneurysm is a ballooning of a weakened region of a blood vessel. If left untreated, the aneurysm continues to weaken until it ruptures and bleeds into the brain.
Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)
An AVM is a cluster of abnormally formed blood vessels. Any one of these vessels can rupture, also causing bleeding into the brain.
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA or mini-stroke)
A TIA is caused by a temporary disruption in the blood supply to an area of the brain. It can cause symptoms similar to a stroke, but unlike a stroke these symptoms pass quickly and usually fully resolve within 24 hours.
In the early stages of a TIA it is impossible to tell whether or not it is a stroke, so it is important to call emergency services. People who have TIA are also at risk of further TIAs or a full stroke, so it is important that they see a doctor who can look at the causes of the TIA and provide treatment for the underlying cause.
The risk factors for TIA are similar to those for stroke and similar to stroke, TIAs also contribute to an increased longer-term risk of dementia.
Recognising when someone is having a stroke and getting immediate emergency medical care makes a big difference to survival and recovery. Act FAST!
Signs of stroke FAST
Stroke happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. Without blood, brain cells can be damaged or die.
Stroke is a complex medical issue. But there are ways to significantly reduce its impact. Recognizing the signs of stroke early, treating it as a medical emergency, with admission to a specialized stroke unit, and access to the best professional care can substantially improve outcomes.
The main symptoms of stroke can be remembered and checked with the word FAST.
Face – is the face drooping to one one side
Arms – is there a weakness in one arm
Speech – is speech slurred or garbled
Time – if these symptoms are present it is time to call emergency services
Stroke treatment
Stroke is a complex medical issue. But there are ways to significantly reduce its impact. Recognizing the signs of stroke early, treating it as a medical emergency with admission to a specialized stroke unit, and access to the best professional care can substantially improve outcomes.
Stroke prevention
1 in 4 of us will have a stroke in our lifetime, but almost all strokes can be prevented. If you want to avoid a stroke the first step is to understand your individual risk factors.
Up to 90% of strokes could be prevented by addressing a small number of risk factors, including hypertension, diet, smoking and exercise. Preventive action on stroke would also contribute to a massive scale reduction in stroke and would conribute to global goals to reduce cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and other significant causes of death and suffering worldwide.
Cut Stroke in Half
The World Stroke Organization is leading the development and implementation of an integrated prevention strategy that has potential to cut stroke in half by 2030. With a focus on low and middle income countries where stroke is not only more prevalent but has the most devastating impact the strategy includes:
Access to low-dose combination therapy for patients at medium risk of stroke
Development of stroke specialist Community Healthworkers
Access to innovative mobile technologies that support access to prevention infomormation
Key treatment issues
Low public awareness of symptoms, inadequate and uneven access to specialist stroke treatment and lack of coordinated action around the world are key issues in stroke.
Awareness
Saving lives and improving outcomes from stroke starts long before a patient has contact with a health professional. It starts with public awareness of stroke symptoms. Awareness of FAST improves timely access to specilaist medical treatment which minimises damage to the brain, increases the treatment options available, reducing the risk of death and disability. Sustained public awareness campaigns supported by governments and delivered in partnership with local stroke organizations go hand in hand with efforts to access to acute treatment.
Access to healthcare
Financial barriers to prevention and detection of stroke risk factors through universal health coverage and access to essential medicines is critical to stroke prevention and will reduce the individual and community costs of stroke. Acess to specialist acute stroke care through the development of stroke units and professional education is needed to broaden access to quality stroke care.
Rehabilitation and life after stroke
Rehabilitation starts in the hospital as soon as possible following a stroke. It can improve function and help the survivor regain as much independence as possible over time. Many stroke survivors will need on-going treatment to address the physical impact of stroke and to maintain their mental health and well-being. Universal health coverage should include access to rehabilitation and long-term care needs of stroke suruvivors.

Ramadan 2019 The Wisdom behind Fasting

When Imam Sadiq was asked about the wisdom behind Ramalan fasting, he replied: “Allah (God) made fasting compulsory so that the poor and the rich would be the same. This is because the rich does not feel the pain of hunger to be able to understand and show mercy to the poor. Whenever he wants something, it is available to him. Therefore, God wanted His creation to be equal; for the rich to feel the pain of hunger so that He is kind to the weak and shows mercy to the poor”.
There is a difference between knowing something and feeling something. The rich know that there are hungry people, but now must fast to experience real hunger. Furthermore, this hunger reminds both the rich and poor of their hunger and thirst on the Day of Resurrection, a reminder which can have powerful effect on a person’s soul. Furthermore, one feels his weakness before God and will become humble towards Him.
The Benefits of Fasting
1. Accessing the mysteries
Imam Ali said, “God has placed five effects in five things: Respect in obedience, abjection in disobedience, wisdom and knowledge in hunger, solemnity in the night prayer, and richness in contentment.”
Hunger (or fasting) is said to be the place where wisdom is placed by the means of which a person can reach knowledge. In another hadith, Imam Ali says he is shocked by a person who tries to seek knowledge with a full stomach.
2. Banishing Satan
Once the Prophet asked his companions, “Do you want me to tell you of an act that if you act upon it will distance Satan from you, the way the east is distant from the west?” When they all showed interest, he mentioned three acts: Loving for the sake of God, giving charity, and fasting were tools to defeat Satan. As the Prophet said, “Fasting is a shield against the hellfire.”
3. Attracting God’s mercy and love
According the Prophet, God likes it when people lessen their speech, food intake, and sleep and dislikes over-eating, over-sleeping, and excessive talking. The Prophet also said there is nothing more detested by God than a full stomach.
Normally, during the Month of Ramalan, we are more likely to succeed in repenting, purifying ourselves, helping others, and being patient, as these are acts that earns us God’s love. It does not come as a surprise then that God appoints a group of angels to take care of those who fast.
Imam Sadiq said: “He who fasts in the warmth of the day for the sake of God and bears thirst and hunger, God appoints a thousand angels to touch him with love and give him glad tidings that when he breaks his fast God will tell him how he looks and smells. My angels! Be witnesses that I have forgiven him.”
On another occasion, Imam Sadiq said, “There are two moments of joy for a fasting person: one is when [the day finishes and] he breaks his fast and the other when he meets his Lord.”
4. Abundant reward
The reward one achieves because of fasting is so big that it cannot be compared to the difficulty he experiences when avoiding his desires for short moment. The reward given for fasting is more than that of other acts of worship. According to a Hadith Qudsi (divine saying):
“Every righteous act is rewarded ten times or a hundred times more except for fasting which is Mine and I will be its reward.”
Fasting is also the best example of patience. Imam Sadiq interpreted the term patience in the verse 2:45 as fasting. When patience is interpreted as fasting, the reward appointed for it is given for fasting as well:
“Indeed the patient will be paid in full their reward without any reckoning.” (39:10)
Although our entire existence is from God and it is only with his help that we can fast, still God is extremely loving and fasting is so special that for every breath a person takes in the month of fasting and for every moment of his sleep he will be rewarded. The Prophet said:
“He who fasts a day voluntarily, even if he is given gold as much as this world, still he has not received his reward completely, and it will only be completed on the Day of Judgement.”
The High Position of Those Who Fast
The biggest source of happiness for believers is when God accepts and loves them. Fasting opens a door to the love of God and puts people under His attention. The Prophet said, “Indeed, God has appointed angels to pray for those who fast.”
In another narration, the Prophet said that if angels are appointed to pray for a group of people, their prayer will be definitely accepted by God. The Prophet also said, “I swear by He in whose hands lies my life, the change in the smell of a fasting person’s mouth is more likable to God than the smell of musk.”
Of course, God will show more mercy to a person gives up on his desires for a while for His sake and submits his will to the will of God. Imam Ali said: “When a person fasts, his sleep will be counted as worship, his silence as tasbih (glorification of God), his prayers will be answered and his acts will be rewarded twice. Without a doubt, his prayers when he breaks his fast will be granted.”
The Prophet said: “Indeed, there is a special entrance to heaven called Rayyan from which no one will enter except for the people who fast.”
Therefore, fasting has many benefits, such as helping us tolerate our difficulties easier and making us better people who are worthy of God’s love and mercy and this is why fasting has been considered as one of the best acts of worship that existed in all divine religions.

Re: Stress related disorders and physical health
Stress and Neurological Disorders
Stress may be a physiological or a pathological phenomenon. Acute or chronic stress can be a cause or the effect of certain neurological disorders in a person with or without any comorbid medical conditions.
Acute Stress
Acute stress can trigger seizure, headaches (primary and secondary), stroke, and increased intracranial pressure.
Chronic Stress
Chronic stress can wreak havoc on immune, metabolic and cerebrovascular systems of the brain.
Chronic stress can add fuel to the development of neurodegenerative disorders like dementia, Parkinson disease and motor neuron disease. It may also influence multiple sclerosis.
Stress In Pregnancy
Stress during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of a number of negative outcomes, which include emotional problems, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, contact disorder and impaired cognitive development in children.
Neurogenic Stress
Neurogenic stress may develop in response to brain damage, eg, traumatic injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, epilepsy, and ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. In neurogenic stress certain brain regions are implicated in the sympathetic cardiovascular response which increases in the hypothalamus, amygdala, and various cortical regions such as the insula and cingulate gyrus. Damage to these regions sets the neurogenic stress response in motion. The amygdala, which controls fear and conditioning, may produce a maladaptive psychological response when damaged, making managing stress response in these patients more difficult.
Stress and Functional Neurological Disorders
Stress can also produces functional neurological disorders like deafness or hearing difficulties, difficulty concentrating, difficulty swallowing, fatigue, impaired movement, lack of responsiveness, loss of balance, loss of the senses (such as smell or touch), memory problems, numbness, pain (in the muscles, skin, or joints), paralysis, seizures, speech problems, tingling sensations in the skin, tremors, twitches, vision problems and weakness.
So a stress free life is important to prevent the onset of and to prolong healthy life in certain neurological diseases.
