Ability in daily activities after early supported discharge models of stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Included were 154 participants (57% men, median age 73 years), and 103 participants completed the study.

For years she had tried to be the perfect wife and mother but now, divorced, with two sons, having gone through another break-up and in despair about her future, she felt as if she’d failed at it all, and she was tired of it. On 6 June 2007 Debbie Hampton, of Greensboro, North Carolina, took an overdose of more than 90 pills – a combination of ten different prescription drugs, some of which she’d stolen from a neighbor’s bedside cabinet.

Recurrent headaches: a case of neurological Behçet's disease.
Abstract A 48-year-old black male, of Nigerian heritage, presented with a 24-hour history of frontal headache of gradual onset. The headache characteristic was migranous, being described as throbbing in nature and located to the right frontal area with associated blurring of vision.

Recurrent episodes of headache caused by neurological flare-ups resulted in a stroke at the age of 46 years. This previous stro...
