From stroke
Medical City saves UAE Hajj pilgrim
King Abdullah Medical City
Mina - Emirates Voice
A medical team from the Center for Neuroscience at King Abdullah Medical City (KAMC) in Makkah saved the life of an Emirati pilgrim who had suffered a stroke.
The 60-year-old suffered paralysis of the right side of his body and was unable to speak.
The case was immediately diagnosed, and solvent intravenous treatment was used within an hour of the onset of symptoms.
A catheter was then used to remove the blood clot that caused the stroke during surgery performed by Dr. Faisal Al-Ghamdi, a consultant of radiology and interventional neurosurgery. The surgery was a success and the patient’s movement has improved.
Dr. Mohammed Al-Makhlafi, a stroke and brain catheter consultant who supervises the stroke hotline in the evenings, said blood clots affect the nervous system by blocking an important artery feeding the brain.
“Time is one of the most important factors in preventing total damage to the nervous system,” he added

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
