Anatomy of a Stroke
What is a stroke? What actually happens in your brain? What are the typical symptoms and why does your body react these ways? Why is it so important that someone suffering from a stroke get immediate treatment? How do doctors diagnose the problem and what are the common treatments? What do these treatments do to your brain/body and why do they work?

This report examines the technological advancements in imaging and how it's helping more and more patients survive a stroke.

Racial Disparities and Stroke
Results of a nationwide study showed that among 45- to 54-year-olds, blacks had almost a 2.5 times higher stroke incidence than whites. The study also found geographical disparities. The stroke rate was more than 12% higher among those living in the stroke belt: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Mississippi. The large number of blacks living in this region can explain only some of this difference. Dr Virginia J. Howard (University of Alabama at Birmingham) says, "That's a part of it, but even after you control for that, it's still higher, so blacks who live in the stroke belt have two strikes against them."This show will explore the racial disparity, which very much exists in northern Ohio, the geographical disparity nationally and will also discuss what is (and isn't) being done to prevent strokes.

Interview with Arthur Kolpit, author of Wings - A Radio Drama About Stroke
Dee Perry speaks with Arthur Kopit, playwright of the radio drama Wings which will be broadcast this evening (9pm) as a special 90-minute program produced by 90.3 WCPN in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic's Center for Ethics, Humanities and Spiritual Care. Wings is the story of a former aviatrix recovering from a stroke. It was adapted for the stage after airing on NPR and was first produced on Broadway in 1979. Shortly before Kopit wrote the play, his father had suffered a stroke and lost his speech. In one of the father's speech-therapy sessions, Kopit met a woman with aphasia, the inability to express aloud what you think. She'd been a wing-walker in aerial shows in the 1920s, and the playwright turned her into Emily Stilson, the woman in Wings who expresses Kopit's thoughts about his father's stroke.
