There is an increasing risk of aneurysms, know what is this major disease
In our body, arteries (blood) reach from the heart to all parts of the body. Aneurism is a condition in which the arterial wall becomes weak and inflates like a balloon under high pressure.
When it occurs in an artery of the brain, it is called brain aneurism. Sometimes this pressure becomes so high that the arteries explode and the blood starts coming out.
Every three out of 100 worldwide have the disease. Meaning there is internal bleeding somewhere in his brain, there is more possibility of arterial rupture due to aneurysm in the back part of the brain, most cases of aneurysm instead of frontal part of brain are city scans, MRI or other tests.
Find out while getting it done. Such an artery rupture in the brain leads to brain stroke or hemorrhage.
Know why bleeding occurs (bleeding)
The exact cause of aneurysms is not yet known, but doctors believe it is related to high blood pressure, brain trauma (brain trauma), atherosclerosis (blocked arteries due to cholesterol), or in some cases, hereditary causes. This condition is also responsible for many developmental disorders in the human body.
Symptoms of aneurysms
Only when there is additional pressure in the brain, the aneurysms that are equal are detected. These symptoms can be seen in this condition – blurred vision, eye pain, headache, face pain and difficulty in speaking. Aneurysms are characterized by rapid headaches when the arteries rupture. The neck swings and faints. Usually the symptoms of aneurysms are not easily recognized, so unless there is a stroke, it becomes difficult to diagnose.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, UK, 25% of people lose their lives within the first 24 hours or 6 months due to other complications from arterial rupture due to aneurysms. Those who survive alive have neurological damage and some part of the brain stops functioning.
How to cure this dangerous disease
There are very few treatment options for aneurysms. Endovascular coiling is an idea that instead of opening the skull and performing surgery, a coil is sent to the blood via an artery and applied to the aneurysm from where the blood is flowing. The second measure is surgical clipping. In this, the skull opens and goes to the place of aneurism and the blood is prevented from flowing. The third measure is the use of diverters, whose help protects the artery from bursting.

Meghalaya Reserves Legalized Gambling and Sports Betting for Tourists
The State Scores Extra High on Gaming-Friendly Industry Index
Meghalaya scored 92.85 out of 100 possible points in a Gaming Industry Index and proved to be India’s most gaming-friendly state following its recent profound legislation changes over the field allowing land-based and online gaming, including games of chance, under a licensing regime.
The index by the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) uses a scale of 0 to 100 to measure the level of legalisation on gambling and betting achieved by a state based on the scores over a set of seven different games – lottery, horse racing, betting on sports, poker, rummy, casino and fantasy sports
Starting from February last year, Meghalaya became the third state in India’s northeast to legalise gambling and betting after Sikkim and Nagaland. After consultations with the UKIBC, the state proceeded with the adoption of the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021 and the nullification of the Meghalaya Prevention of Gambling Act, 1970. Subsequently in December, the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021 were notified and came into force.
All for the Tourists
The move to legalise and license various forms of offline and online betting and gambling in Meghalaya is aimed at boosting tourism and creating jobs, and altogether raising taxation revenues for the northeastern state. At the same time, the opportunities to bet and gamble legally will be reserved only for tourists and visitors.
“We came out with a Gaming Act and subsequently framed the Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021. The government will accordingly issue licenses to operate games of skill and chance, both online and offline,” said James P. K. Sangma, Meghalaya State Law and Taxation Minister speaking in the capital city of Shillong. “But the legalized gambling and gaming will only be for tourists and not residents of Meghalaya,” he continued.
To be allowed to play, tourists and people visiting the state for work or business purposes will have to prove their non-resident status by presenting appropriate documents, in a process similar to a bank KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.
Meghalaya Reaches Out to a Vast Market
With 140 millions of people in India estimated to bet regularly on sports, and a total of 370 million desi bettors around prominent sporting events, as per data from one of the latest reports by Esse N Videri, Meghalaya is set to reach out and take a piece of a vast market.
Estimates on the financial value of India’s sports betting market, combined across all types of offline channels and online sports and cricket predictions and betting platforms, speak about amounts between $130 and $150 billion (roughly between ₹9.7 and ₹11.5 lakh crore).
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi are shown to deliver the highest number of bettors and Meghalaya can count on substantial tourists flow from their betting circles. The sports betting communities of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are also not to be underestimated.
Among the sports, cricket is most popular, registering 68 percent of the total bet count analyzed by Esse N Videri. Football takes second position with 11 percent of the bets, followed by betting on FIFA at 7 percent and on eCricket at 5 percent. The last position in the Top 5 of popular sports for betting in India is taken by tennis with 3 percent of the bet count.
Local Citizens will Still have Their Teer Betting
Meghalaya residents will still be permitted to participate in teer betting over arrow-shooting results. Teer is a traditional method of gambling, somewhat similar to a lottery draw, and held under the rules of the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018.
Teer includes bettors wagering on the number of arrows that reach the target which is placed about 50 meters away from a team of 20 archers positioned in a semicircle.
The archers shoot volleys of arrows at the target for ten minutes, and players place their bets choosing a number between 0 and 99 trying to guess the last two digits of the number of arrows that successfully pierce the target.
If, for example, the number of hits is 256, anyone who has bet on 56 wins an amount eight times bigger than their wager.
