Stroke, a blockage of blood flow to the brain, can cause symptoms ranging from barely noticeable to disabling to death. Fast treatment is vital.
When blood clots form within blood vessels they can obstruct blood flow, which can cause blockages affecting the heart, lungs and other organs.
Cancer treatments can cause a variety of short- and long-term physical side effects. Rehabilitation can treat the physical side effects of cancer treatment.
