Six-stroke engine From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search The six-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine based on the four-stroke engine‚ but with additional complexity intended to make it more efficient and reduce emissions. Two types of six-stroke engine have been developed since the 1890s: In the first approach‚ the engine captures the heat lost from the four-stroke Otto cycle or Diesel cycle and uses it to power an additional power and exhaust stroke

Stroke is a disease caused by disorder of the blood flow to part of the brain because of occlusion(ischemic) of a blood or damage of a blood vessel‚ causing hemorrhage. For early detection of acute stroke‚ it’s better to use CT scan because it has a lot of advantages. The use of computed tomography (CT) for stroke evaluation has riced‚ moreover ‚ CT is quick than MRI. Recently there are CT techniques like perfusion CT and CT angiography that combined with non-enhanced CT that help the physicians

Crimea-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever There are over a dozen viral hemorrhagic fevers‚ and they are all divided into several different families of viruses. Some have no treatments and carry high death tolls‚ whereas others are easily treated and death easily avoided. Marburg and Crimea-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever are similar deadly viral diseases; however‚ they also have many differences as well. A hemorrhagic fever is a group of viral infections by insects‚ arachnids or rodents. (“Hemorrhagic Fever”‚ 2009)

STROKE A stroke—also called a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or a brain attack—is an injury to the blood vessels of the brain that causes neurological malfunctioning. In the United States‚ as many as 87% of all strokes are caused by the sudden blockage of a cerebral artery. The resulting decrease in blood flow leads to ischemic damage in the region of the brain that is fed by the artery. These CVAs are called ischemic strokes. Most ischemic strokes are due to blood clots. The remaining 13%
