Special thanks and heartfelt gratitude to God Almighty for His boundless mercy and grace that have allowed us to witness the dawn of this new year. It is not by our power or might but by His unfailing love and favor that we are here today, alive and well, ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges this year has in store for us.

As we step into this new year, it is my earnest and fervent prayer that the Almighty God will guide us to climb the ladder of victory, success, and favor. May He open doors of breakthrough, prosperity, and divine blessings upon our lives, our families, and everything we lay our hands on. I pray that this year will be filled with peace, joy, good health, and all the good things our hearts desire, in Jesus' mighty name.

Let us take a moment to reflect on His goodness and thank Him for bringing us this far. Indeed, it is not by our works but by His abundant grace and mercy that we made it. As we move forward, let us continue to trust in Him, for He alone knows the plans He has for us—plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future.

Congratulations to every one of us because, by His grace, we have entered this year triumphantly. Let us approach the days ahead with faith, courage, and the assurance that God is with us every step of the way.

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones! May this year be your best year yet, filled with testimonies and undeniable evidence of God’s goodness in your life.

STROKE
An Overview
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or significantly reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. This can lead to the death of brain cells within minutes, making it a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.

There are two main types of stroke:

1. Ischemic Stroke: This is the most common type, accounting for about 85% of cases. It happens when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain, often due to atherosclerosis (a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries).

2. Hemorrhagic Stroke: This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing bleeding. The two major causes of hemorrhagic strokes are high blood pressure and aneurysms (weakened spots in blood vessel walls that rupture).

Symptoms of Stroke
The symptoms often develop suddenly and may include:

Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.

Confusion, difficulty speaking, or trouble understanding speech.

Vision problems in one or both eyes.

Difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination.

Severe headache with no known cause (more common in hemorrhagic stroke).

Risk Factors
Risk factors for stroke include:
Modifiable factors: High blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Non-modifiable factors: Age, family history, gender (males are more prone), and certain genetic disorders.

TREATMENT
The treatment for a stroke depends on its type:
Ischemic stroke: Quick administration of clot-dissolving medications (thrombolytics) can restore blood flow if given early. In some cases, mechanical thrombectomy (removing the clot) may be necessary.
Hemorrhagic stroke: Treatment focuses on controlling the bleeding and reducing pressure on the brain. Surgery may be required to repair blood vessel abnormalities.

Prevention
Preventive measures include controlling blood pressure, managing cholesterol, adopting a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight. Awareness of the warning signs (using the FAST method: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services) is crucial in minimizing the damage caused by a stroke.
