  The most complex organ of human body is its brain. Our brain needs constant supply of oxygen and blood to function properly. But once, there is a disruption in the supply of blood to the brain cells, it leads to lack of oxygen and glucose in the brain that causes brain death within a couple of minutes. Brain stroke which is also known as stroke or cerebrovascular accident is a medical condition in which blood supply to a portion of the brain ceases or decreases and due to the severe interruption in the blood supply the brain cells starts dying quickly because of the lack of oxygen and vital nutrients creating a medical emergency. The inability of neurons to regenerate causes permanent damage or irreversible consequences. It (stroke) can also be said as blood vessel disorder in the brain. A brain stroke can happen suddenly or without warning. There are 1 million people in India who have brain stroke every year. The brain stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the USA. T...

  The Role of Neurointervention is a highly specialized field of Neurology performed with intricate skills and expert neurology. It is the systematic implication of neurology to prevent neurological disorders with small doses of therapy and therapeutic agents.   Though Neurointervention has been rocky in the past, with few agents working correctly, new research into Neurointervention indicates that targeted delivery and specific therapeutic agents can offer a great sense of neuroprotection. It is even believed that Neurointervention can solve acute brain strokes and greatly help in brain stroke management. The Change More than seven hundred thousand ischemic strokes occur every year on an average, and 70 thousand of those are LVO cases. This means that a revolution was required in the treatment of brain stroke and its management. This is what Neurointervention brought with it. Though Neurointervention through thrombectomy has been quite successful, it was only available f...

      Fits are scary enough as it is. They can occur anywhere at any time and leave the patient in a terrible state, for there is not much he/she can do to stop it. Though fits can’t be predicted, some simple practices can help out a person who suffers from them. It is important to be well aware of these practices if you live with someone who suffers from frequent fits as they may be the difference between life and death.  Before we go on further, it is important to learn more about seizures, fits, and other neural problems that occur in a patient. Check out more blogs by Dr.Shailesh Jain  here  and read up on essential practices to curb neurological problems. Remain Calm It is tough to see someone experience a fit and not act panicky, but that’s what you have to do. Remain calm and follow the procedures that you have learned. Act With Ease If a person is having a violent seizure, gently lay them down on a bed or a couch or even the floor if nothing is avai...
