🧠HOW TO SPOT A STROKE FAST🧠

Do you know stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide? Stroke is an emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to brain cell death.

🧠 FIRSTLY WHAT IS A STROKE

A stroke occurs when blood supply to a part of the brain is disrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. Without immediate treatment, brain cells begin to die, which can lead to permanent damage, disability or even death.

🧠TYPES OF STROKE

There’re 3 types of stroke:
• Ischemic stroke
• Hemorrhagic stroke
• Transient ischemic attack or mini stroke

Ischemic stroke is the most common type, and is caused by a blockage in one of the blood vessels supplying the brain. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts, leading to bleeding in or around the brain. Transient Ischemic attack is a temporary blockage that resolves within minutes, but it should never be ignored.

🧠 HOW TO SPOT A STROKE FAST!
Recognizing a stroke on time is important because the earlier treatment is given, the better the chances of recovery. Use the FAST method:
✅ F - Face drooping
- One side of the face may droop or appear numb.
✅ A - Arm weakness
- One arm may drift downwards or appear weak
✅ S - Speech difficulty
- Their speech may be slurred, garbled or completely lost.
✅ T - Time to call for help
- Once you see these signs, you need to call for help immediately.

🧠 OTHER WARNING SIGNS OF STROKE
Besides FAST, other additional signs include:
√ Sudden confusion or trouble understanding
√ Severe headache with no known cause
√ Sudden vision problems
√ Sudden dizziness, loss of balance or trouble walking

🧠 WHAT DO YOU DO IF SOMEONE IS HAVING A STROKE?

√ Call for help immediately, time is critical
√ Keep the person calm and comfortable, don’t panic
√ Do not give them food or drink or any medication
√ Note the starting time
√ Monitor their breathing, and start CPR if they lose consciousness.

The second-year University of Zambia 🇿🇲 medical students were attending their 1st Anatomy Class. They all gathered around the table. There was a real dead body on the table.

The Professor, prof. MUBITA J.K started the class by telling them two important qualities of a DOCTOR. He said, "The 1st is that never be DISGUSTED about anything in the body." For example, he inserted his FINGER in the dead body's NOSE & put the finger in his mouth & TASTED it.

Then he told the students to do what he did. The students hesitated for several minutes, but eventually, everyone inserted their fingers in the body's NOSE & tasted it. When everyone finished tasting their fingers, they were all Frowning...

Then the professor looked at them & said: "The most important 2nd Quality is "Observation".

I inserted my MIDDLE finger but tasted the 2nd finger... Now, learn to pay attention!!

"ALL the students fainted!!😂🤣🏃‍♂️🐂🐂

🚨AN OUTBREAK OF MENINGITIS AT MWENSE SECONDARY SCHOOL IN LUAPULA PROVINCE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT MENINGITIS 🧠🦠

MENINGITIS :is a serious infection that inflames the protective membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or other factors.

TYPES

√ VIRAL MENINGITIS: Most common, usually less severe, and often resolves on its own.
√ BACTERIAL MENINGITIS:Less common, but more severe and potentially life-threatening if not treated promptly.

SYMPTOMS:

√ Severe headache
√ High fever
√ Stiff neck
√ Nausea and vomiting
√ Sensitivity to light
√ Confusion
√ Skin rash (in some cases)

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

√ Physical examination and lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to analyze cerebrospinal fluid.

• Treatment depends on the type:
√ Viral Meningitis: Supportive care, rest, and pain relievers.
√ Bacterial Meningitis: Urgent medical attention, hospitalization, and intravenous antibiotics.

TRANSMISSION:

Certain types of meningitis, particularly bacterial and viral, can spread from person to person through:

√ Respiratory droplets
√ Close contact
√ Sharing utensils

PREVENTION:

√ Avoid close contact with infected individuals.
√ Don't share personal items.
√ Wash hands frequently.
√ Keep environments clean.
√ Avoid crowded spaces.
√ Ensure proper ventilation.
√ Get vaccinated.

KEY TAKEAWAY: If you suspect meningitis or experience symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. Self-medication can lead to complications, so consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
