<html> <p>A stroke, called a serious and deadly brain attack, occurs when part of the brain does not get sufficient blood supply or the supply of blood is stopped to be circulated there or when a blood vessel that supply the blood to the brain bursts. In a study scientists found that venom from the deadly Australian funnel web spider could prevent brain damage caused by a stroke. </p> <p><center><img src="http://www.steemimg.com/images/2017/03/22/1484615682224420e9.jpg"/></center></p><hr> <p><center><a href="http://www.smh.com.au/content/dam/images/g/k/5/w/8/9/image.related.articleLeadwide.620x349.gk5wbj.png/1484615682224.jpg">Image credit</a> The funnel web spider</center></p><hr> <p>In the study it was found that the venom of the funnel web spider has a protein that helped stop brain cells injury after stroke in lab rats, said researchers. Three funnel web spiders were caught by scientists from the University of Queensland and Monash University. The bite of these funnel web spiders is very dangerous since it can take human life within 15 minutes. </p> <p>Scientist found a protein called Hi1a which resembled two copies of another chemical can prevent brain cells from injury caused by stroke. They discovered this protein when they milk the spiders for venom and analyzed them. After recreating the protein, the scientists administered it into rats. They discovered that the injected protein obstruct ion channels to induce acid and help prevent brain injury after stroke.</p> <p><center><img src="http://www.steemimg.com/images/2017/03/22/Blocked-Carotid-Artery40b18.jpg"/></center></p><hr> <p><center><a href="http://www.medicalsymptomsguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Blocked-Carotid-Artery.jpg">Image credit</a> A blocked carotid artery </center></p><hr> <p>According to scientists, Hi1a is “highly neuroprotective” for the people who suffer from a brain stroke caused by a blood clot. Their description released in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.</p> <p>Approx 85 percent of strokes are found to be ischaemic or happened due to blood clot or blockage in artery or vessel supplying blood to the brain with oxygen. The Stroke Association says that 152000 people got affected by brain stroke in the UK in 2016.</p> <p>Glenn King, who conducted the research, said <blockquote>“This world-first discovery will help us provide better outcomes for stroke survivors by limiting the brain damage and disability caused by this devastating njury.” </blockquote></p> <p><blockquote>"Hi1a even provides some protection to the core brain region most affected by oxygen deprivation, which is generally considered unrecoverable due to the rapid cell death caused by stroke.“</blockquote></p> <p>The decision has yet to be maid whether they apply the protein to treat humans, said Kate Holmes, deputy director for research at the Stroke Association. </p> <p>She said <blockquote>“We welcome any treatment that has the potential to reduce the damage caused by stroke, particularly if this can benefit people who are unable to arrive at hospital quickly.”</blockquote></p> <p><blockquote>“Current treatments must be given in half this time period, and it is too early for us to know if this research can offer an alternative for stroke patients.”</blockquote></p> <p><center>Article <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/spider-venom-stroke-funnel-web-brain-damage-doctors-deadly-pnas-australia-hadronyche-infensa-a7640701.html">source1</a> <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/21/venom-funnel-web-spider-could-prevent-brain-damage-strokes-world/">source2</a> <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/316504.php">source3</a></center></p> <p><center><a href="https://steemit.com/@mgibson">Follow me</a></center></p> </html>
