Brain Stroke - Homoeopathy

Prof. Dr. A.K. Gupta

 

BRAIN STROKE & HOMOEOPATHY

The human brain, awesome in its intricacy and power, is still largely a mystery to modern science. With more than 10 million nerve cells it is the home of all that we know and feel, the generator of every physical action and response.  Yet, unlike other cells in the body, brain cells once damaged are not good at repairing themselves.  And they can be damaged quite easily – by infection, injury, or oxygen starvation.  Should any part of the brain go without oxygenated blood for more than a few minutes the affected cells will pack up permanently – the body has suffered a Brain Stroke.

The signs of a stroke vary a great deal, depending on which part of the brain has been damaged, but symptoms range from a sudden loss of speech or movement to dizziness, blurred vision, confusion, and unconsciousness. They may last only a few hours: this is called a Transient Ischemic Attack (T.I.A.).  If the symptoms don’t disappear, this is a full-scale stroke.

There are two different kinds of stroke. The most common is an ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot that blocks a blood vessel or artery in the brain. The other, less common, is a hemorrhagic stroke, caused when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and spills blood into the surrounding tissue. There are various ways that the flow of blood to the brain can be slowed or stopped. Sometimes a Clot (Thrombosis) forms, blocking the flow of oxygenated blood.  Or a blood clot (Embolism) which formed somewhere else in the body breaks free and ends up blocking an artery to the brain.  In other cases, blood bursts through the wall of a weak artery into the brain (Haemorrhage), building into a clot.

Luckily, our brain cells have so many connections between them that healthy cells can often take over the function of damaged cells so that we hardly know that anything has gone wrong.  Half of stroke survivors return to full health, but much depends on how much damage has been done to the brain, as well as on the aftercare provided.

Causes
     A cerebral infarction occurs as a result of a blocked artery. The arteries become blocked over the years and this produces slow blood flow to the brain.
Cerebral haemorrhages usually occur as a result of weak arteries or aneurisms in the brain that rupture. High blood pressure is the cause of weak arteries in most cases.

Risk Factors for Brain Stroke

Some stroke risk factors are hereditary.  Others are a function of natural processes.  Still others result from a person's lifestyle and diseases e.g. Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity, Smoking, Alcoholism, Head Injury , Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA ) etc.

• Age — The chances of having a stroke approximately doubles for each decade of life after the age 55.  While stroke is common among the elderly
• Heredity (family history) and race — Risk is greater if a parent, grandparent, sister or brother has had a stroke.  African Americans have a much higher risk of death from a stroke because blacks have higher risks of high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
• Sex (gender) — Brain Stroke is more common in men than in women.  In most age groups, more men than women will have a stroke in a given year.  However, more than half of total stroke deaths occur in women.  At all ages, more women than men die of stroke.  Use of birth control pills and pregnancy pose special stroke risks for women.
• Prior stroke, TIA or heart attack — The risk of stroke for someone who has already had one is many times that of a person who has not.  Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are "warning strokes" that produce stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage. TIAs are strong predictors of stroke.  A person who's had one or more TIAs is almost 10 times more likely to have a stroke than someone of the same age and sex who hasn't.  Recognizing and treating TIAs can reduce the risk of a major stroke. If you've had a heart attack, you're at higher risk of having a Brain Stroke, too. 

Symptoms

     Occurs when the blood supply to the brain is stopped. One may have Abrupt loss of Vision, Energy, Coordination, Sensation, Speech. Weaknesses or Paralysis down one side of the body, Loss of Balance. Sudden and Severe Headache.

     As brain must be continually supplied with blood through the arteries. If the blood supply stops for some reason, the result is very serious. Disruptions of blood flow to the brain are known as stroke.

     There are two types (i) Cerebral Infarction (ii) Cerebral Haemorrhage.

    A cerebral infarction occurs when an artery is blocked, halting the flow of blood to the brain. The second basic type of stroke is cerebral haemorrhage which occurs when there is bleeding into the brain. As blood flows into the brain, the build up of pressure results in agonising headache, sometimes followed by loss of consciousness.

 Depending on where the brain has been damaged and how badly it has been affected, the patient usually recovers but they may have a physical weakness as a result of the stroke.
There can be  Abrupt loss of Vision, Energy, Coordination, Sensation, Speech.

• Numbness, weakness, or paralysis of the face, arm, or leg, typically on one side of the body.
• Trouble seeing in one or both eyes, such as dimness, blurring, double vision, or loss of vision.
• Confusion, trouble understanding.
• Slurred or garbled speech.
• Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
• Severe headache followed rapidly by Loss of Consciousness.

Symptoms vary depending on whether the stroke is caused by a clot or bleeding. The location of the blood clot or bleeding and the extent of brain damage can also affect symptoms.

Early detection

f you are around it is imperative that you recognize stroke symptoms quickly in order to get the victim the help they need as soon as possible. Brain cells begin to die as soon as a stroke occurs. The faster you get to a doctor, the more likely the stroke sufferer will survive. FAST is an easy acronym to remember and will help you identify symptoms quickly.

Step 1

F -(Face). Ask the person to smile for you. If one side of the face droops.

Step2

A -(Arms). If the person cannot raise both arms, or one arm flops downward, there may have been a stroke.

Step3

S -(Speech). If the person cannot repeat a simple phrase, or their voice slurs or sounds strange.

Step4

T -(Time). If you see any of the signs listed above, it is an emergency and essential that you see a doctor immediately to avoid long-term effects.

Investigations

Apart from the clinical symptoms as discussed above ,medical history of the patient certain Laboratory Investigations are also required such as Pathological Blood Test , Biochemistry, CT Scan, MRI Scan, EMG, NCV etc. to confirm the diagnosis of Brain Stroke for the patient

Lifestyle
     It is vital that you commence regular aerobic exercise - swimming, walking or anything safe and gentle that you feel comfortable with. People at high risk for stroke should not smoke and should eat a low-fat diet and not take contraceptive pills.

Preventable risk factors of stroke

Prevent High blood pressure, High cholesterol, a Sedentary Lifestyle, Obesity, the abuse of stimulant drugs such as amphetamines, smoking, use of birth-control pills, and stress. Certain lifestyle related risk factors can be controlled to reduce the risk of  Stroke.

• High blood pressure — High blood pressure is the most important controllable risk factor for Brain Stroke
• Cigarette smoking — In recent years, studies have shown cigarette smoking to be an important risk factor for Brain Stroke.  The nicotine and carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke damage the cardiovascular system in many ways.
• Oral Contraceptives – If combined with cigarette smoking greatly increases the risk of Brain Stroke among women.
• Diabetes  — Diabetes is an independent risk factor for stroke.  Many people with diabetes also have high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and are overweight.  This increases their risk even more.  While diabetes is treatable, the presence of the disease still increases your risk of stroke.

Effects of Brain Stroke

Stroke can affect people in different ways. It depends on the type of stroke, the area of the brain affected and the extent of the brain injury. Brain injury from a stroke can affect the senses (such as eyesight, touch, awareness of body positioning), motor activity (movement of arms or legs), speech and the ability to understand speech. It can also affect behavioral and thought patterns, memory and emotions. Paralysis or weakness (the inability to move the arms or legs properly, or at all) on one side of the body is common.

As one side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body, a stroke affecting one side will result in neurological complications on the side of the body if affects. For example, if the stroke occurs in the brain's right side, the left side of the body (and the right side of the face) will be affected, which could produce any or all of the following:

• Paralysis on the left side of the body   
• Vision problems   
• Quick, inquisitive behavioral style   
• Memory loss

If the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body (and the left side of the face) will be affected, producing some or all of the following:

• Paralysis on the right side of the body   
• Speech/language problems   
• Slow, cautious behavioral style   
• Memory loss

Treatment
     Patients of stroke should be hospitalised and given the appropriate medication.
Alternative/Natural Treatments :

      Alternative treatments can be marvellous adjuncts to conventional treatments with stroke patients. Several techniques can help restore mobility, circulation, and ease other symptoms associated with stroke

HOMEOPATHY

Homoeopathy has a very effective role in treating the cases of Stroke and Paralysis. I’ve number of cases treated successfully with Homoeopathy. Physiotherapy as an accessory therapy is also very helpful to be used . Remedies like Aconite, Belladonna, Arnica , Causticum, Natrum Sulf etc. has given wonderful results

Aconite 30x Is a remedy which – by stimulating your adrenal gland- can help the body to repair itself very swiftly.  “If this is given early, it could make a major difference to recovery from stroke”,  taking it at 10-minute intervals until medical help arrives.

After a stroke a constitutional remedy is usually be prescribed to bolster  general health, and beyond that there are many homeopathic remedies – depending on the symptoms – which can support other treatments.  Among them are the snake and spider poison remedies which relate to paralysis and bleeding.  Agaricus may be helpful in the relief of pain, but, as with all homeopathic remedies, accurate prescription by an experienced professional is very important.  

Diet
     To prevent strokes, your diet should be rich potassium, magnesium, vitamin E, and the essential fatty acids contained in fish oils. Some studies suggest that selenium may also protect against stroke. Fresh fruit and vegetables.

Eat a low fat, salt and cholesterol diet, exercise regularly; keep to your ideal weight; monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels; and do not smoke.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine and smoking. Patients with stroke needs careful handling cases may take long time to recover , first 48 to 72 hrs are very crucial which decides the fate of the patient. Awareness regarding the factors predesposing Stroke can minimize the occurrences and if at all it occurs timely treatment can safe gaurd the fatal casualty.

Cases :

            Mrs. Dheer 65 yrs  suffered Brain Stroke and was hospitalized . After the discharge from the hospital she was in a vegetative state where she had almost lost her Speech, developed Hemiplegia, Lost control of Urination and Stools. She was declared incurable by the hospital and neurologists and nothing can be done now for her was the only phrase the family members were to hear from everywhere. Then the family was advised to try homoeopathy and that’s how they came to me. After taking her complete case history and analyzing the symptoms I gave the homoeopathic medicine Causticum. With in a weeks time she started showing signs of  improvement in the form of started getting feeling and sensation about the Urination, she could make people understand that she was about to urinate. This was the turning point for the family towards hope and faith in homoeopathy. After the continuous treatment of  more than 6 months she had improved tremendously when she developed full control over her urination, stools and started making sound of words though which was not fully understandable that time. With other medicines given time to time according to the symptoms and constitution she was fully cured and she visited my clinic on her own feet after a period of 18 Months of treatment with full recovery of all her symptoms and now she could speak also properly. She thanked Homoeopathy for saving her from the misery of vegetative life which she and the family members were compelled to accept as her fate before starting Homoeopathic treatment. Now the Dheer family is a staunch follower of homoeopathy and believe that Homoeopathy Ensures Health Safely and Surely.

Keeping a Healthy Brain While You Age

An active mind is a healthy mind, so keeping your mind sharp is a good portion of aging well and living a better life as you grow older. If you continue to challenge and engage your brain with activities such as continued learning and healthy dieting you can maintain your healthy brain. Some activities like completing daily crossword puzzles or learning a hobby, or maybe exploring a new language will add content and continued exercise of the brain. Expanding your horizons daily and engaging in activities that require you to think on your feet and assess information quickly and accurately will make a world of difference as you grow older. Sometimes it may take a little more effort than it used to require, but continuing to stretch your brain muscles will definitely pay off in good memory and cognitive skills.

If you are interested in maintaining brain health in the later years of life and continuing to keep your mind sharp, then listen up. Brain masses shrink a little as you get into your sixties, with some areas shrinking more than others like the frontal lobe which is the area of the brain that handles mental abilities, and the hippocampus where memories are formed. Thinning of the brain in the area of the cortex, and decreases in white matter are some reasons why brain disorders occur in the elderly. Changes in these areas are what slow down the cognitive processing which handle decision making, problem solving, and attention. All of which have a tendency to fade as you grow older, unless…you continue to exercise these areas by forming new memories daily and allowing for a good intake of new information. With this said, aging is not a decline of brain activity. In fact the brain grows stronger and sharper as long as you continue to use it. For example; if you were an avid reader in your younger years and you continue to be a voracious reader into your golden years the rate of speed that you read and the amount of information that you are able to process as you read will increase as in “practice makes perfect,” you are actually getting better with time. Most of our abilities normally get better with time, including wisdom and problem solving skills. Keep in mind that other illnesses and ailments may contribute to any decline in the normal activity in the brain.

Simple things, like more formal education, can contribute to intellectual stimulation of the brain and may ever strengthen the brain cell networks to help in preventing mental function damage. Physical activity has always been know to have positive effects on the brain and brain functioning. Getting into an aerobic regime is the best for continued brain health as oxygen is free flowing and throughout the body and is particularly beneficial to the brains proper functioning. Having a good sense of self and knowing that the things that you do in life make a difference and believing that you are contributing to the common good has shown to reduce cognitive decline in older adults.

So to slow down the effects of the degenerative parts of the brain it would be wise to learn to concentrate and make an honest effort to pay attention. Stay organized and don’t rush, so that you are able to focus on the tasks that you are attempting. The all time favorite is repetition. Also, try your best to stay as stress free as possible as tension causes some types of memory lapses. Those senior moments can turn into senior memories if you continue to exercise your brain. So do whatever it takes to preserve your mental agility, and keep happy even as you enter your older years. When you look at the attitudes of older people, you see either depressed people, or extremely happy and satisfied people. Try to leave yourself in the latter category.

The Frontal Lobes $83.48 The frontal lobes and their functional properties are recognized as crucial to establishing our identity as autonomous human beings. This book provides a broad introductory overview of this unique brain region. In an accessible and readable style it covers the evolutionary significance of the frontal lobes, typical and atypical development pathways, the role played in normal cognition, memory and emotion, and in damaged states, resulting in a range of neurological syndromes and psychiatric disturbances. The coverage integrates current theoretical knowledge with observations of both normal and disturbed behavior across the lifespan. The result is an easy to read review of this fascinating and involved field suitable for graduate students in neuropsychology and psychology, clinicians from the fields of neurology, neurosurgery or psychiatry, and researchers engaged in neuroscientific investigations.

Principles of Frontal Lobe Function $135 Principles of Frontal Lobe Function provides a comprehensive review of historical and current research on the functions of the frontal lobes and frontal systems of the brain...

Executive Functions and the Frontal Lobes $90 This volume has as its primary aim the examination of issues concerning executive function and frontal lobe development. While many texts have addressed these issues, this is the first to do so within a specifically developmental framework. This area of cognitive function has received increasing attention over the past decade, and it is now established that the frontal lobes, and associated executive functions, are critical for efficient functioning in daily life. It is also clear, and of particular relevance to this text, that these functions develop gradually through childhood, and then deteriorate during old age. These developmental trajectories, and the impact of any interruption to them, are the focus of this volume.

The Executive Brain $8.98 This is the first semi-popular book about the frontal lobes - one of the most important and rapidly evolving topics in contemporary neuroscience and neuropsychology. Through an accessible but rigorous narrative the author shows how the frontal lobes, this most human part of the brain, enable us to engage in complex mental processes, how the frontal lobes control our judgment, and our social and ethical behavior. The book also shows how vulnerable the frontal lobes are to injury and how devastating the effects of frontal-lobe damage often are, leading to chaotic, disorganized, asocial and even criminal behavior. But the book is not just about the frontal lobes. It offers a panorama of state-of-the-art ideas about the brain and cutting-edge research in cognitive neuroscience. These include the dynamic properties of brain function, brain evolution, laterality, sex differences, the neurobiology of foresight, decision making and attention, the neurobiology of creativity and talent, the neurobiology of ethical behavior and empathy, and the neurobiology of asocial and criminal behavior. The book is replete with fascinating clinical stories to illustrate such issues. It is also an intellectual memoir, rich with vignettes, about the author's early training with Luria and later interactions with patients and professionals in Russia, the United States, Australia, and other places.

11 Tips for Improving Brain Power…from your Kitchen

 

Maybe your child isn’t doing well in school because he or she is eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) which really is sad!  Maybe your own memory, alertness and concentration could use a boost, too. Try these tips for a few months and see your brain power improve.

The brain functions more effectively when the body is adequately hydrated.  So, reach for a glass of cool water when you need to be alert.  Ice-cold drinks disrupt digestion and impair the assimilation of nutrients by the body and should therefore be avoided.  Avoid sugary, carbonated, caffeinated drinks which also interfere with the absorption of nutrients by the body. 

Prepare foods that are fresh and free of pesticides.  If you can’t get fresh, organic  foods, try frozen foods.  When you eat foods which are as close to their natural state as possible, they deliver the most potent nutrition.  Avoid canned or preserved foods with artificial additives and preservatives or foods with artificial colors and flavors.  These chemicals can build up and damage cells and brain function over time.  

The brain is a heavy user of oxygen and it is particularly susceptible to oxidative damage.  Antioxidants are crucial for continued effective functioning of the brain.  It is best to take your antioxidants the way nature intended—in foods, where they occur in a balanced form. 
Blueberries are a powerful brain food primarily because of their antioxidant properties.  They have been shown to have the ability to improve memory and keep your brain “young.”  They can also help you improve your balance and coordination.  Research suggests that a diet rich in berries reduces, or even reverses, declining brain function.  The acai berry from South America and the Indian gooseberry (amla) are wonderful for the brain but you may not have them stocked in your kitchen.

Other foods rich in antioxidants are broccoli, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, oranges, spinach, apricots, red and yellow peppers and sweet potatoes.  Stick to bright colors when choosing fruits and vegetables.  They have vitamins A and C which are linked to improving your memory and reasoning powers and keeping your arteries functioning properly.  Eat several helpings of fruit and vegetables each day.  Freshly squeezed fruit juices deliver nutrients quickly to your mind and body.  Fruits are excellent cleansers—they flush toxins out of the body.   Vegetables and fruits contain natural sugars which keep you alert.  Your brain needs natural sugars to function at its best.  Foods with the B vitamin folic acid (okra, spinach, lentils, collards, asparagus, black beans, Romaine lettuce, black-eyed peas, and sunflower seeds) prevent brain degeneration and keep your nervous system healthy.

Increase protein intake by using soy.  Some of the powdered shake mixes are delicious!Your mother was right.  Fish is brain food,too.  Try a tuna salad or a tuna sandwich for lunch.  

We’ve all been told to reduce our intake of fats.  But, fat performs some essential functions in the body.  Ghee (you can get it in the Indian Foods section of your supermarket or health food store) is valued for its ability to transport the beneficial components of herbs and spices to the brain and other parts of the body.  Eat Ghee in moderation. 
 
Essential fatty acids are necessary for maximum brain power as well as promoting normal brain growth and development.  They also help boost memory and your ability to learn new things. Integrate omega-3 fatty acids into the daily diet by eating fish, eggs, nut or seed oils and blue-green algae. 

All nuts, particularly walnuts, are good for your brain because they keep your arteries clear and boost serotonin levels.  Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that controls sleep, depression, memory,  and other neurological processes.

Include some dairy if you wish such as organic milk and fresh yogurt.  Be sure to read the ingredients listed on the container so you avoid artificial ingredients.

We’ve all been told to reduce our intake of fats.  But, fat performs some essential functions in the body.  Ghee (you can get it in the Indian Foods section of your supermarket or health food store) is valued for its ability to transport the beneficial components of herbs and spices to the brain and other parts of the body.  Eat Ghee in moderation.

What would life be without a little spice!  Many spices enhance digestion and facilitate the clearing of toxins from the body.  This means that the channels of the body, including those that serve the brain, will be clear.  Black pepper in small quantities is particularly recommended for clearing the channels of the brain and promoting the free flow of oxygen to the brain.  Did you ever try a little freshly ground black pepper on strawberries?  It sounds awful but it TASTES wonderful!   Other  common spices which are good for the brain include:  turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon.  The herb rosemary helps mental focus.  Add some fresh or dried rosemary leaves to your cooking.   If you have a rosemary plant, just pluck and sniff a few leaves.  The magic is in the scent.

The brain functions more effectively when the body is adequately hydrated.  So, reach for a glass of cool water when you need to be alert.  Ice-cold drinks disrupt digestion and impair the assimilation of nutrients by the body and should therefore be avoided.  Avoid sugary, carbonated, caffeinated drinks which also interfere with the absorption of nutrients by the body.

 I’ve saved the best for last…real organic CHOCOLATE!  That means either 100% organic cocoa powder or a dark chocolate bar with at least 75% cacao content.  Real chocolate contains Vitamin E  and releases dopamine to enhance cognition and mood.

Try to implement some of these tips to increase YOUR brain power.  By paying attention to what you are feeding your children, you may help to improve their performance in school as well.

The Brain $43.32 Developed for those with no prior exposure to the field, this primer is an authoritative yet accessible introduction to the brain and its functions. Written by a leading neuroscientist, Thompson provides a basic overview of brain anatomy and physiology from molecules to the mind in a concise, readable format which sparkles with the author's hands on experience with brain research.

The Functions of the Brain $26.58 This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923.

We believe this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.

Brain Circuits and Functions of the Mind $70.48 In the history of American neuroscience, Roger Sperry and his contribution are outstanding. In this book, over twenty of his students, research colleagues and scientific friends, themselves all notable neuroscientists, review fifty years of his tireless experimentation and brilliant theoretical argument, also reviewing their own work in the context of Sperry’s contributions to their fields. Sperry’s challenging and controversial theories are very much alive in contemporary brain science, cognitive psychology and the philosophy of mind. Curiosity about the most difficult questions, such as those concerning conscious awareness, memory and volition led Sperry from the study of the control of complex patterns in brain circuit growth to discovery of the split brain phenomenon, which illuminated how the two halves of the brain integrate their different functions. In revolutionary tests on patients whose hemispheres had been disconnected to prevent the build-up of severe epileptic seizures, two complementary realms of mind were revealed, one verbal and rational (‘left brain’) nd the other more spatial, metaphorical and intuitive (‘right brain’). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for this work in 1981. Although this book is written for students and researchers in the fields of psychology and neuroscience, it will hold interest for any reader who is curious about the workings of the mind and the brain.

Human Growth Hormone As an Effective Anti Aging Solution - How the Drug Works

We are not the first generation to get worried about old age. Historical facts indicate there are many civilizations that have tried to reverse the effects of aging over time or at least try to slow them down. There have been attempts to ward off old age from ancient Egypt by use of some herbal mixtures and this went on even to Greece and other parts of Asia. All these people have had a go at the search for a treatment for old age.

The effects of aging continue to pound us even though we have made advancement in the field of medicine that has made life more comfortable than it was many years ago. It is paradoxical that even with all those advances, there has not been a lasting solution to this one major headache for most people.

How to we get old?

It is difficult to find a solution for old age unless we know exactly how we grow old in the first place. We try and find out why our bodies reach a particular level and then begin declining from there irreversibly. The root cause of the phenomena of aging is to be found in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus, so if a solution must be found it will be found at the root of the problem.

The hypothalamus is a most important gland in the body because it controls all the functions of the body by maintaining the proper levels of the hormone human growth hormone. This hormone HGH is the key to the problem of aging. For the body to do any function like producing new cells and replacing the dead ones the HGH must give a signal. When the HGH is in short supply then body functions slow down, energy levels dip and neurotransmitters in the brain do not function too effectively.

When we are young in age the HGH levels are high but when we reach the age of 30 or thereabout the human growth hormone levels begin getting depleted. The pituitary gland continues to secrete the required HGH but the hypothalamus becomes slow it does not recognize when the levels are too low. With that deficiency of the important hormone, the rest of the functions of the body slow down so that the signs we associate with aging begin to appear.

How then do we solve this problem?

Because the problem has been identified, it is now possible to get a solution. Scientists have developed supplements called HGH releasers which are able to stimulate the hypothalamus so that it can once again send signals to the pituitary gland to produce and release more of the human growth hormone into the body. The HGH will then do its business of doing repairs in good time not only to the visible parts of the body but to all the internal organs as well. Then aging can become graceful with minimum challenges.

Cultivating a Complete Tool Kit to Succeed in Media Jobs

Media professionals need to possess more than a pleasant voice and nice smile to succeed in broadcasting, publishing and other media jobs. A majority of the work completed in media jobs is done away from public eyes. The first step that professionals in media jobs need to take is creating a realistic expectation for daily work. Young media professionals may think that investigative reports will yield big breaks but most work involves small steps toward the truth.

A knack for organisation is the primary skill needed for media professionals in busy markets. The growth of portable computers and Web-enabled phones allow reporters to co-ordinate notes while away from their desks. You should carry a notebook and voice recorder everywhere you go to keep a running dialogue on potential stories. These disparate notes and ideas need to be compiled on a nightly basis and kept in a safe place for further review. The stereotype of the rumpled investigative reporter is belied by modern media professionals with clean desks and organised file cabinets.

Your desire to make a name in the world of media depends on your ability to find leads unavailable to other professionals. Television stations, newspapers and magazines need exclusive stories to compete against other outlets in competitive markets. Your success in media jobs relies on developing discrete and confidential relationships with people inside government agencies and businesses with greater information than you possess.

Reporters, broadcasters and writers need to develop trustworthy support networks to succeed in media jobs. A good relationship with production staff, editors and interns can ease the pressure of daily deadlines. Your ability to call up a local official and an expert on a specific issue without setting up an appointment will help you get information quickly without hearing filtered information at press conferences. A reporter needs to smooth out as many paths in the community as possible to get down to the bottom of potential stories.

The growth of reportage and broadcasting into new media means that multimedia skills are necessary for any professional. A newspaper writer needs to know how to blog, take photos and use HTML in order to turn print-only documents into multimedia stories. Most media jobs require presentations, pitch meetings and other situations where the use of presentation equipment is necessary. Your ability to break down complex stories into a 15-second pitch means that you can turn a full-page story into a one-column article.

Indian Stereotypes In Tv Science Fiction $26.39 These shows made me sad, reminding me of all my people have lost due to forced or voluntary assimilation into white society. Our language, our traditions, our history, our stories, our identity, they have all been diminished. --A study participantAccording to an early 1990s study, 95 percent of what college students know about Native Americans was acquired through the media, leading to widespread misunderstandings of First Nations peoples. Sierra Adare contends that negative Indian stereotypes do physical, mental, emotional, and financial harm to First Nations individuals. At its core, this book is a social study whose purpose is to explore the responses of First Nations peoples to representative Indian stereotypes portrayed within the TV science fiction genre. Participants in Adare's study viewed episodes from My Favorite Martian, Star Trek, Star Trek: Voyager, Quantum Leap, The Adventures of Superman, and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Reactions by viewers range from optimism to a deep-rooted sadness. The strongest responses came after viewing a Superman episode's depiction of an evil medicine man who uses a ceremonial pipe to kill a warrior. The significance of First Nations peoples' responses and reactions are both surprising and profound. After publication of Indian Stereotypes in TV Science Fiction, ignorance can no longer be used as an excuse for Hollywood's irresponsible depiction of First Nations peoples' culture, traditions, elders, religious beliefs, and sacred objects.
