What are transient strokes?

Stoke Healer & Stroke FAQ
Transient ischemic or "mini" strokes are minor or minimal strokes that often serve as a sign that a major stroke is pending. They result from minor or short-term obstructions of oxygen, nutrients and blood to the brain. A full stroke may follow a month after such an attack or after a series of these mini attacks. These mini attacks may also precede a full stroke by just hours, which is one reason early intervention is so important and critical to one's survival.

What are "two-strokes" and "four-strokes" and how do they differ?

Frequently Asked Questions
There is a very important technical distinction between engine designs in the scooter world. "Two-stroke" engines burn the gas and lubricating oil together as part of the combustion process, which results in greater lower end torque, fewer moving parts and greater fuel efficiency. Unfortunately, this also means they pollute more, as unburned oil fumes exit the exhaust system. This is why two-strokes are being banned in many industrialized countries concerned with air quality.

These "strokes" are usually at a fairly low amplitude (check the detector activity window to verify this). Increasing the squelch level could eliminate those "strokes", but be careful -- don't increase the squelch beyond the minimum to keep those "strokes" from being picked up.

TIAs are often called "ministrokes" or "warning strokes."

If the blockage lasts longer, damage to the brain occurs (a stroke).
