Thank you very much, Stan and Clarence, for having me. I look up to you. Not because you're old, but because of how nice you are. And how nice you always make your hair. So I am trying to.

Yes, thank you for the question, Stan. This is absolutely important. Stroke happens when there is damage to the brain because of something wrong with the blood supply to the brain. There are different kinds of stroke. Ischemic stroke is when there is a blockage of an artery that takes the blood to a part of the brain.

Yes, thank you for the question, Stan. This is absolutely important. Stroke happens when there is damage to the brain because of something wrong with the blood supply to the brain. There are different kinds of stroke. Ischemic stroke is when there is a blockage of an artery that takes the blood to a part of the brain.

So that part of the brain then loses blood supply and suffers the damage, which we call ischemic stroke. The other kind is when the arteries burst or rupture. If the rupture is within the brain tissue, that is called intracerebral hemorrhage or hemorrhage within the brain. And if the rupture happens outside the brain tissue, then the blood is on the surface of the brain or around the brain.

If the rupture is within the brain tissue, that is called intracerebral hemorrhage or hemorrhage within the brain. And if the rupture happens outside the brain tissue, then the blood is on the surface of the brain or around the brain.

That's called subarachnoid hemorrhage. These are the three different types of stroke. And then there is also TIA or transient ischemic attack. This happens when the artery in going to the brain is blocked, but then the blockage is temporary and opens on its own so that the blood supply is restored without leaving any damage to the brain.

So that person would have stroke symptoms for 15 minutes or half hour or an hour, and then the symptoms would subside completely.

Yes. The most common type is the ischemic stroke type, which is about 80% or even more in Minnesota here. 85% of all stroke is ischemic stroke, blockage inside an artery. But the more dangerous type is the subarachnoid hemorrhage type, when the bleeding is on the surface or around the brain. the mortality rate is highest in that type.

Okay. So starting with the stroke warning science, So when a stroke happens, first of all, we don't know if it's the ischemic type, the blockage type or the bleeding type. The doctors can't know without getting a picture, a CT scan of the head. So you can apply these warning signs to all different types of stroke. You know, we talk about the acronym BEFAST, B-E-F-A-S-T.

um and they they kind of um a way to remember the stroke warning signs so weakness of uh one of the arms one of the legs or one side of the body without pain uh numbness or loss of sensation again one side of the body or one of the arm and face on the same side or Leg. Loss of ability to speak or loss of ability to understand when someone is talking to you. Slurring of the speech.

People talk as if their tongue is heavy or they're drunk. droopiness of the face, loss of vision in one eye, painless blindness in one eye can be a stroke symptom, or both eyes do not see one half of the visual field. and loss of ability to walk, loss of balance. Severe headache is a common symptom when there is rupture or a burst of an artery inside the head.
