A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients and causing brain cells to die within minutes. Immediate medical attention is crucial to minimize brain damage and potential complications, emphasizing the importance of recognizing symptoms like sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, or loss of balance.
Juvenile Open-Angle Glaucoma is a rare form of glaucoma that occurs in children and young adults, characterized by an increase in intraocular pressure due to improper drainage of aqueous humor. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent irreversible vision loss, often requiring surgical intervention alongside medical therapy.
