Stroke
Stroke (also known as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or brain attack) is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain causes cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. Both cause parts of the brain to stop functioning properly. Signs and symptoms of stroke may include an inability to move or feel on one side of the body, problems understanding or speaking, dizziness, or loss of vision to one side. Signs and symptoms often appear soon after the stroke has occurred. If symptoms last less than one or two hours, the stroke is a transient ischemic attack (TIA), also called a mini-stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke may also be associated with a severe headache. The symptoms of stroke can be permanent. Long-term complications may include pneumonia and loss of bladder control. The biggest risk factor for stroke is high blood pressure. Other risk factors include high blood cholesterol, to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calhoun Chronicle
''The Calhoun Chronicle and The Grantsville News'' is a weekly newspaper serving the Grantsville, West Virginia community.

The supreme court ruled that the government could not compel a private newspaper to print anything without violating constitutional freedom of the press protections. As of 2016, the newspaper is published each Thursday by Calhoun County Publishing Company and has circulation of 2,921. History In the early 1880s Calhoun County was one of two counties in the state without a local paper. The Chronicle filled that gap with a democratic weekly. By 1898 the ''Weekly Register'' coun ...
