wilsonjames+FollowWait, Can You Have a Stroke & Not Know?Silent strokes are a real thing—yep, you can actually have a stroke and not even realize it happened. They don’t always have obvious symptoms, but they can still cause brain damage. Subtle signs like forgetfulness or trouble moving could be clues. Risk goes up with age, high blood pressure, or heart issues. Kinda wild to think about, right? If you’re feeling off, it might be worth checking in with your doc! #HealthFacts #StrokeAwareness #DidYouKnow #BrainHealth #Health28549Share
wilsonjames+FollowGame-Changer for Stroke Treatment!Imagine getting a life-saving stroke drug up to 24 hours after symptoms start—no more racing the clock! Cincinnati researchers found alteplase, a common clot-buster, still works way past the old time limit. In their study, 40% of patients treated with it regained independence, compared to just 26% with standard care. There’s a bit more risk of bleeding, but no higher death rate. This could be huge for rural and under-resourced hospitals where other treatments aren’t available. Medical game-changer alert! #Health #BodyHealth #StrokeAwareness20Share

MRI scans showed stroke patients had more 'old brain' signs and worse neurological symptoms, all linked to this system being out of whack. This could mean new ways to treat or even prevent brain aging after a stroke. Who knew brain cleaning was so important? #BrainHealth #StrokeAwareness #ScienceNews #AgingBrain #MedicalResearch #Health00Share
