AVC journée mondiale Chaque minute compte les effets sont immédiats
AVC, journée mondiale : “Chaque minute compte, les effets sont immédiats”La huitième journée mondiale de l’AVC (accident cardio-vasculaire) a lieu aujourd’hui 29 octobre. L’occasion de donner la parole à Philippa Lavallée, neurologue au centre d’accueil et de traitement de l’attaque cérébrale à l’Hôpital Bichat à Paris. Dans un entretien accordé à Maxisciences, elle explique tout ce qu’il faut savoir à propos de l’AVC. Pour la huitième année consécutive, la journée mondiale des accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC) est célébrée un 29 octobre. L’objectif : sensibiliser la population à cette “attaque”. L’AVC est la deuxième cause de décès au monde et la troisième en France après les cancers et cardiopathies. Dans l’Hexagone, les médecins recensent environ 180.000 AVC par an.Maxisciences: Concrètement, comment on pourrait expliquer ce qu’est un accident vasculaire cérébral ?Philippa Lavallée: Un AVC est une attaque qui peut provoquer la perte de conscience ou la mort d’une personne. Il s’agit d’un déficit neurologique soudain. Il y a deux types d’AVC : on distingue les infarctus cérébraux (les plus fréquents, entre 80 et 90% des cas) et les hémorragies cérébrales. Dans le cas de l’infarctus cérébral, une artère est obstrué par un caillot. Pour l’hémorragie cérébrale, c’est une artère qui se rompt et forme d’une poche de sang dans le cerveau.Quelles sont les conséquences immédiates ?Cela dépend de l’artère qui est bouchée ou rompue. Dans tous les cas, il y a une perte de fonction : cela peut être la perte de force et aboutir à une hémiplégie, on peut aussi rencontrer des troubles de la sensibilité comme si on était anesthésié, constater une perte du langage ou de la compréhension de ses interlocuteurs et aussi perdre la vue.Ces pertes de fonction sont-elles irréversibles ?Parfois oui, parfois on peut les retrouver après quelques temps si on est rapidement pris en charge. Cela dépend du type d’AVC et de la personne.Ces signes sont-ils immédiats ?Oui. C’est extrêmement brutal à partir de l’instant où l’artère est bouchée ou se rompt.Peut-on repérer un AVC ?La plupart du temps, les gens s’en rendent compte avant. On peut ressentir une faiblesse, un engourdissement. Que faut-il faire en cas d’AVC ?Il faut appeler le 15 immédiatement ou les pompiers. Il vaut mieux ne pas aller aux urgences car on perd du temps à attendre. Chaque minute compte, il faut se faire prendre en charge le plus vite possible. Quand une artère se bouche on a au maximum 4 heures 30 pour intervenir. Le plus tôt est le mieux.À lire aussiHypertension artérielle (HTA) : définition, symptômes, traitement, causes, comment faire baisser la tension ?Quelles sont les principales causes de ces attaques ?Les plus importantes sont l’hypertension artérielle et les maladies cardiaques. Parfois, un caillot formé dans le coeur peut être expulsé dans une artère et la boucher. A côté de ces causes directes il y a plusieurs facteurs de risques importants à prendre en compte : l’âge joue beaucoup car la plupart des personnes victimes d’AVC ont entre 60 et 70 ans en moyenne, même si ces attaques peuvent frapper à tous les âges. Ensuite il y a le taux de cholestérol, le surpoids, le diabète, le tabagisme.A part la vieillesse qui joue beaucoup, on peut donc prévenir les AVC en prenant en compte ces facteurs de risque ?Bien sûr. Il faut déjà avoir un bon suivi chez son généraliste. Les gens sont extrêmement mal traités : certains ignorent les symptômes, parfois leur traitement est trop fastidieux alors ils laissent tomber, ou bien il y a trop d’effets secondaires. Ils négligent aussi souvent les consultations chez leur médecin traitant. En général, la moitié des patients ne savent pas qu’ils sont hypertendus. Il faut absolument que cela change. Bien connaître les facteurs de risque pour pouvoir les prendre en compte et changer les mauvaises habitudes. Aujourd’hui on compte 16 millions d’AVC par an dans le monde. Avec le vieillissement de la population, on s’attend à 23 millions en 2030.Information exclusive.

On reliable information, the sleuths conducted searches on Rajendranagar- Himayatsagar Outer Ring Road and seized gutka which was illegally being transported in a lorry from Gulbarga in Karnataka to Hyderabad. The accused along with the seized material was handed over to Rajendranagar police for further action.
Asaduzzaman khan kamalHome minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Wednesday said the attack on police at Naya Platan was carried out in a planned, conspiratorial and motivated way to foil the forthcoming national election.Legal actions will be taken against the attackers analysing the video footage, he said while talking to reporters at the secretariat.”The election preparations are going on peacefully…peace is prevailing everywhere. When the country’s people are busy taking preparations for election, they are carrying out acts of sabotage in a planned way,” said the minister.Responding to a question about deployment of police in front of BNP office while their absence in front of AL Dhanmondi office during collection of nomination papers by AL men, he said, “Roads in Naya Paltan areas are important, while the Dhanmondi road is, in fact, a by-lane.”Responding to another question about BNP leader Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s statement that the government was behind the attack to foil election, Asaduzzaman said, “We don’t want to challenge the BNP leader’s speech. We all watched the video footage on the incident there. Police were there for the security of BNP leaders. The untoward situation was created when two BNP leaders went there. BNP leaders and activists were in an attacking mood.”The minister said the government is ready to tackle all types of situation.Responding to another question over filing political cases against BNP leaders, he said no political case was filed against BNP men. They were sued for specific reasons.”The BNP leaders gave us lists during dialogue. Now the scrutiny of the lists is underway,” he added.
“Maryland is very much in the South. It’s just Up South.”This assessment, made by Dr. Walter Arthur Harris Gill, may not completely encapsulate segregation in pre and post-Brown v. Board Maryland and Baltimore, but it is part of a chorus of contemporary voices that offer a new critique of Baltimore race relations then and now.From left to right: “Voices of Segregatio ” co-producers and co-directors Gary A. Homana, Morna McDermott McNulty and Franklin CampbellJones. (Photo by J. K. Schmid)Gill is joined with other Black educators, authors and a federal judge, in a new documentary that premiered Feb. 16 at Towson University’s Stephens Hall Theatre.“Voices of Baltimore: Life Under Segregation” is a joint venture of three Towson University professors, co-directed and co-produced by Drs. Gary A. Homana, Morna McDermott McNulty, and Franklin Campbell Jones.Homana, the executive producer was inspired to begin the project after a classroom visit by Evelyn J. Chatmon, the first Black woman Assistant Superintendent for Baltimore County Schools.“She was talking about her life growing up under Jim Crow in Baltimore,” Homana told the AFRO. “I left that classroom, that hour, just with this striking sense of power in her story, that really touched my being. It was really transformational. I had this realization that these were stories of people who were in their 80s, that lived through this and they needed to be preserved and archived.”Divided into four acts, the documentary follows its subjects as they are enlisted to integrate schools or stage sit-ins in Baltimore businesses. It then explores the unique qualities of Baltimore’s block-by-block segregation. It compares the ubiquities of Black balconies and “colored” entrances in the Deep South to Whites only establishments of urban centers like Baltimore.Treopia Green Washington had “a Jim Crow experience in Baltimore that I never had in Little Rock,” she said in the film. Washington is the sister of Ernest Green, one of the Little Rock Nine and is currently Director of Special Initiatives, College of Education, Bowie State University, where another screening will be held.The subjects then look back on their individual drive and the demands of the community that they excel. Lastly, the documentary evaluates the conditions of Baltimore schools now compared to what was and what could have been.The film does not advocate much in terms of new policy, but documents the mishandled and incomplete project of integration.One subject, Robert M. Bell, the named litigant in Bell v. Maryland, and former Chief Judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals, gets at part of the institutional failure of desegregation when he reflects that his case prevailed on procedural grounds, rather than on the merits.Chatmon expounded on this idea in a panel discussion after the film, when describing how she might have improved upon the integration/desegregation process, specifically addressing the prejudices and biases of White teachers.“I would have ensured that they themselves had a good background in what slavery and Reconstruction and Jim Crow were all about,” Chatmon said. “I would have explored what their myths were about Black people… Because remember, when you are bombarded with the mythology that Black people are stupid and lazy and dumb, even the best of us, some of that goes into our DNA almost.”McNulty told the AFRO the work was meant to foster conversation rather than advocate for particular action. During the panel discussion after the screening, audience members engaged directly with the film and its subjects.One Towson student expressed regret at being “coddled” with a narrative of peaceful struggle for Black rights and expressed regret that issues of White violence and Black self defense were seemingly suppressed. Another audience member reached out directly to the panel for advice on how to progress.A third lamented the dissolution of Black communities to facilitate integration.“[Teachers] are coming from the suburbs and they don’t know our children,” she said. “And I think to a degree, segregation was pretty good. Because you had people that were in the church, you had your beauticians, you had your morticians, it was not equal, but Baltimore had so much to be proud of.”No wide release date has been set to date, but the producers plan to ultimately release the film on streaming services and for free.

The Treasury Department placed sanctions on the family’s holdings, and Yankel Rosenthal, a former minister of investment and president of the Club Deportivo Marathon soccer team, was arrested in Miami.“We are sure that we will prevail in the trial because the accusations are false,” Jaime Rosenthal said via email. “We will fight very hard. And we hope the truth prevails with the help of God.”The accusations stunned the elite in Honduras, one of the poorest and most violent nations in Latin America, and represented a sharp turn for the Rosenthals, one of Honduras’ wealthiest clans. It’s a new theme in the region, said Adam Isacson, senior associate for regional security policy at the Washington Office on Latin America.“There is more attention being placed on powerful peoples’ links to the criminal underworld,” he said. “The pressure being put on Honduras now is to separate ties between the state and narco-trafficking and the government and organized crime. The Rosenthals aren’t in the government but they are quite close to power.”Yani Rosenthal said that while the family’s Panama-based holding company, Inversiones Continental, has few assets in the United States, the ban the Treasury Department put on U.S. citizens doing business with it or its affiliated enterprises could “cause problems.”The Rosenthals have an extensive empire and a fortune of $690 million, according to Bloomberg estimates. Among the major holdings: Banco Continental, which has about $500 million in assets; a stake in the cement company Inversiones Bicon; and the telecommunications company Cable Color SA de CV.Read the indictment against Jaime, Yani and Yankel Rosenthal: In an interview in February, patriarch Jaime Rosenthal said he enjoyed living and working in his native country, where he could keep his children and grandchildren close on one of his 23 properties, where the family has a support staff of about 100, including nurses, helpers, drivers and bodyguards.“I don’t count my wealth only in money, but in values that contribute,” he said from his office in a strip mall in San Pedro Sula. “To have a net worth of two or three billion dollars doesn’t matter to me. What’s important is having competitive and productive companies that can grow.”A 1958 graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whose alumni website puts the number of his businesses in Honduras at 20, Rosenthal called Warren Buffett his “idol” and said he tries to follow the investor’s strategy.“We try not to do anything illegal and not have any enemies that cause us problems,” Rosenthal said. “We don’t have capacity to build planes or vehicles or design cellular phones. We have most of our investments in other activities, like 11,000 head of cattle and 10,000 crocodiles.”A long-time Liberal party member, Rosenthal was one of the few wealthy Hondurans who spoke out against the 2009 overthrow of President Manuel Zelaya. Rosenthal was vice president from 1986 to 1989, and recalled playing ping-pong at the presidential palace with John Negroponte, then the American ambassador, and said that Negroponte was “not bad.” Rosenthal said Negroponte traveled with him and other Honduran officials to Washington, where he met President Ronald Reagan in the White House.During the interview, he talked about his country’s drug trafficking problem and suggested a solution he said he recommended to a U.S. ambassador: the country should shift the billions it spends on border protection to boosting economic developing in the countries that migrants are fleeing. The money could turn remote areas in northern Honduras into cattle ranches or cocoa farms that could create jobs.“There’s nothing in these areas,” he said, “and they are turned into landing strips for narcos and delinquents.”The charges against his family come as a tide of corruption investigations sweep across the region from Brazil to Guatemala, where President Otto Pérez Molina was forced to resign over corruption allegations last month; he followed his vice president and central bank chief to jail, where they await trial.The U.S. tapped a law popularly known as the Kingpin Act to place sanctions on Inversiones Continental, which control the Rosenthal family’s banking, financial services, real estate, agriculture, construction, tourism and media interests. Also targeted is the clan’s agricultural arm, Empacadora Continental, its related financial institutions and three offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands.The family said in a statement that it will honor commitments and obligations and is willing to sell assets to help avoid losses for investors.“We haven’t committed any illegal acts,” Yani Rosenthal, who made a failed run for president in 2012, said in an email. “We are certain that all our activities are within the law and that we can show that in a fair trial.”Bob Van Voris contributed.© 2015, Bloomberg Facebook Comments

HRS’ goal is to support businesses as they address business travel related challenges, and identify smarter, strategic and more cost effective accommodation solutions that allow their employees to do their best work while on the move,” Mr Arthur said.The analysis also revealed the varying impact of political instability in different countries, for example in Bangkok there was a 10 per cent drop in room rates in 2014, as it struggled to overcome the impact of the negative political situation.On the other hand, Hong Kong, which takes the fourth place on the list of most expensive cities in terms of hotel room rates, witnessed a drop of less than a percentage point even with the Occupy Central civil disobedience movement taking place.Hotel rates in other economic powerhouses such as Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Jakarta, and Beijing, remained fairly stable with a less than five percent change as compared to the previous year.
