NIMHANS study links poor nutrition and alcohol to venous stroke in Karnataka

Researchers at Bengaluru's NIMHANS have found that multiple nutritional deficiencies and alcohol consumption may be driving the high prevalence of cerebral venous thrombosis in Karnataka. The condition is a type of stroke caused by a blood clot in the veins that drain blood from the brain, rather than in arteries. The study points to better diet as a preventive step.
