		<description><![CDATA[Strokes are also known as cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) or brain attacks. When you have a stroke the blood supply to a part of your brain is disrupted and stopped in a similar fashion to having a heart attack.
The flow of blood to your brain has to be restored fairly quickly or the result will be permanent damage, as your brain needs blood constantly.
As the brain cannot fix damaged areas the first aim in the treatment of stroke is to keep the damage as small as possible. During stroke rehabilitation the brain is encouraged to bypass the affected area and so reduce your post stroke symptoms.
There are 2 main types of strokes. They are ischemic and haemorrhagic strokes.
Ischemic is medical jargon for too little blood. During an ischemic stroke a clot that either comes from the heart or forms in a narrowed segment, blocks a small blood vessel. The resulting lack ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A stroke occurs when an artery carrying blood to the brain gets clogged or bursts disrupting blood supply. The brain, deprived of oxygen, begins to die. The majority of strokes result from clogging of arteries; artery bursts account for less than 20% of strokes.
A stroke that damages the right brain can cause paralysis in the left side of the body. It can also affect vision or
lead to memory loss. When the stroke damages the left part of the brain, the results are different. The victim&#8217;s
right body can be paralyzed. Also, the victim can suffer speech problems or memory loss.
Some of the common symptoms of stroke are: sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body; sudden problems in speaking; sudden blurring of vision in one or both eyes; sudden trouble in walking, dizziness or loss of balance. Anyone who experiences these symptoms ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A stroke occurs when an artery carrying blood to the brain gets clogged or bursts, disrupting the blood supply. The brain, deprived of oxygen, begins to die. A stroke is reported every 45 seconds, and a death by stroke every three minutes. Interestingly, women are more susceptible to strokes than men. Statistics show that of every five stroke victims, two are men and three women.
