3). Gender Bias in Stroke Care By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD
I can't think of any adequate excuse for women to receive medical care that is less good than that which is received by men. However, evidence for this continues to surface. The latest study to demonstrate this unsettling fact was published in the September 27, 2005, issue of Neurology, the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Melinda Smith and co-investigators looked at stroke care between 2000 and 2002 in the seven acute-care hospitals of Corpus Christi, Texas, which includes all of the hospitals of Nueces County.

Copyright 2006 Ted Crawford A stroke, also known as a CVA (cerebrovascular accident), is a life-threatening event in which the brain’s oxygen supply has been cut off causing problems with such functions as speech, sensation, behavior, memory, and thought processes.

6). Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Bleeding Inside the Brain By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD
All strokes damage the brain by disrupting circulation, but strokes come in multiple varieties. Because different parts of the brain are specialized to perform specific functions, symptoms produced by strokes vary according to what part of the brain was injured.

7). Mini-Stroke: A Term That Means Everything and Therefore Nothing By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD
What is a "mini-stroke?" Doubtlessly, you've heard someone use this term before, and you might have even seen it in print. What does this term mean to you? Probably something less than a full-fledged stroke, which is a permanent brain injury due to a blocked blood vessel or a hemorrhage that produces obvious clinical impairment. But, apart from that, what exactly does it mean? One might suppose mini-stroke to be a term with a definite meaning that everyone agrees upon.
