Interview on brain stroke awareness
Dr. Manoj Vasireddy, Consultant Interventional Neurologist at KIMS Hospitals, Kondapur, Hyderabad, speaks in Telugu about brain stroke awareness: why stroke is a medical emergency, why recognising the warning signs early matters, and why patients should reach a stroke-ready hospital quickly for assessment and treatment.
What is the brain–gut axis? (Part 1)
In this Telugu short, Dr. Manoj Vasireddy, Consultant Interventional Neurologist at KIMS Hospitals, Kondapur, explains the brain–gut axis: the two-way communication between the brain and the gut through nerves, hormones and gut bacteria (the gut microbiome). He describes how stress, fear and anxiety can upset digestion, and how the gut can affect mood, with links to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), anxiety, low mood, bloating and appetite changes.
Recognising stroke symptoms early can save a life
In this Telugu video, Dr. Manoj Vasireddy, Consultant Interventional Neurologist at KIMS Hospitals, Kondapur, Hyderabad, explains what a brain stroke is and the difference between ischaemic stroke (a blocked blood vessel) and haemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain). He walks through the FAST warning signs (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, time to call for help) and why a suspected stroke needs emergency care at once, since treatments such as clot-dissolving medicine and mechanical thrombectomy work only within a limited time.
