  9. Building Blocks: Treating Concussions

    <b>Concussion</b>
<b>Definition</b> 
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that may result in a bad headache, altered levels of alertness, or unconsciousness. 
It temporarily interferes with the way your brain works, and it can affect memory, judgment, reflexes, speech, balance, coordination, and sleep patterns. 
See also: Concussion - first aid 
<b>Causes</b> 
A concussion may result when the head hits an object or a moving object strikes the head. 
A concussion can result from a fall, sports activities, and car accidents. Significant movement of the brain (called jarring) in any direction can cause you to lose alertness (become unconscious). How long you remain unconscious may be a sign of the severity of the concussion. 
However, concussions don't always involve a loss of consciousness. Most people who have a concussion never black out. You can have a concussion and not realize it. 
<b>Symptoms</b> 
Symptoms of a concussion can range from mild to severe. They can include:

  13. OUR HEALTH: Memory Care

    Many of us joke about &ldquo;senior moments,&rdquo; when the car keys seem to have vanished into thin air. Such lapses are typical for the aging brain; if there are more significant lapses and confusion, testing for Alzheimers may be in order (dementia is an umbrella term covering conditions with multiple causes, but Alzheimers is at the root of seventy-five percent of dementia diagnoses). The ten warning signs include:

  19. Do pets get Alzheimer's Disease?

    As a kid growing up in the mountains of eastern Kentucky, I would often question the explanations given to me by adults, mainly my parents. I wasn&rsquo;t being disrespectful, I simply did not always accept their explanation as definitive facts. Also, I rarely questioned them out loud. I would simply struggle within my own mind and consider the possibility of another explanation. Possibly, the other explanation was beyond their current knowledge.
