1). Epidural and Subdural Hematomas: Dangerous Blood Clots on the Brain By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD
To understand epidural and subdural hematomas -- two serious consequences of head injuries -- we need to know the basic anatomy of the brain and its coverings. Imagine an evil carpenter with an electric drill intent on drilling into a person's brain. What layers would the drill encounter in its passage from the outside of the head to its destination? The drill would pass through the skin and then the skull (braincase) before penetrating a series of three membranes comprising the meninges.

4). Traditional Therapies Can Prevent Heart Disease Too By : Ng Peng Hock
In the ancient era, people used herbs or plants to cure those who were sick, although they could not possibly identify the sickness they encountered at that time. With the advancement of technology, doctors can nowadays accurately differentiate one sickness from the other and people take drugs to cure these diseases. Nevertheless, it seems that these so called medicines (mainly from the West) could not either treat the diseases effectively or have side effects.

5). Improving the Outcome of Stroke By : Jim Martinez
The majority of strokes occur when a blood clot lodges in a blood vessel, blocking blood flow to a portion of your brain (ischemic stroke). The group of brain cells normally nourished by the oxygen in the affected blood vessels dies almost immediately after blood flow is blocked, while surrounding brain cells experience reduced blood flow.
