My periods remained heavy and I suffered from some flooding but this was manageable with planning! Approximately 7 years ago my periods became worse and I started to experience more symptoms such as regular and frequent abdominal pain, random bleeding, bloating, very painful intercourse and things just didn’t feel right.

The Day That Went Missing: A First-Person Account of Transient Global Amnesia
In this vivid first-person case history, political reporter Trip Gabriel describes experiencing a classic episode of transient global amnesia. He was near the average target age of 61. Although no cause has been established for the syndrome, as with many other patients his episode appears to have been triggered by contact with water: He was racing a sailboat. While remaining alert and handling complex sailing maneuvers, he suddenly developed amnesia that left him with no recollection of finishing two races, returning to shore, drinking a beer with his friends, needing help finding his car, and not knowing where he was or w...

Recurrent stroke in a patient with vitamin B12 deficiency and MTHFR mutation
We report an unusual case of recurrent stroke in a patient with vitamin B12 deficiency who was also homozygous for the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation. The patient was a 35-year-old male vegetarian with no known medical history who initially presented with global aphasia, slurred speech, right facial weakness, and right-sided hemiplegia and was found to have a stroke (NIH Stroke Scale score of 25). At that time a CT scan of the head ruled out intracranial hemorrhage and a CT angiogram of the head and neck was done. The patient was found to have occlusion of the M1 segment of the left middle cereb...

Advances in imaging detect blunt cerebrovascular injury more frequently in trauma patients
Advances in diagnostic imaging technology have meant that more trauma patients are being diagnosed with blunt cerebrovascular injuries, and as a result, stroke and related death rates in these patients have declined significantly over the past 30 years. These changes are due to the evolution of imaging technology, namely CT-scanning, and its wide availability in hospitals large and small, according to a new study.

Mobile Stroke Units: A Device in Search of an Indication
If you've been to any regional or national EMS conference in the last two years, you've seen these mobile stroke units. They are beautiful large ambulances with the latest and greatest in modern technology including mobile CT scanners. Often, the name of a hospital is blazoned on the side. There is usually a staff member present to tell you how great these will be for your community. But are they? Where's the science? What's the cost? These are important questions that should be asked and answered before these devices are deployed on a widespread basis. Although still somewhat controversial, therapies are now available to ...
