resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,energy and ,commerce     
,,resolution  ,expressing support for   
designation of ,september #bjad as      
,national ,brain ,aneurysm ,awareness   
,month4  ,whereas a brain aneurysm is an
 abnormal saccular or fusiform bulging  
of an artery in the brain2 ,whereas an  
estimated #a out of every #ej people in 
the ,united ,states has a brain         
aneurysm2 ,whereas brain aneurysms are  
most likely to occur in people between  
the ages of #ce and #fj and there are   
typically no warning signs2 ,whereas    
brain aneurysms are more likely to occur
 in women than in men by a #c-to-#b     
ratio2 ,whereas young and middle aged   
,african-,americans have a higher risk  
of brain aneurysm rupture compared to   
,caucasian ,americans2 ,whereas various 

risk factors can contribute to the      
formation of a brain aneurysm1 including
 smoking1 hypertension1 and a family    
history of brain aneurysms2 ,whereas    
approximately #f1jjj1jjj people in the  
,united ,states have a brain aneurysm2  
,whereas an unruptured brain aneurysm   
can lead to double vision1 vision loss1 
loss of sensation1 weakness1 loss of    
balance1 incoordination1 and speech     
problems2 ,whereas a brain aneurysm is  
often discovered when it ruptures and   
causes a subarachnoid hemorrhage2       
,whereas a subarachnoid hemorrhage can  
lead to brain damage1 hydrocephalus1    
stroke1 and death2 ,whereas each year1  
more than #cj1jjj people in the ,united

people in the ,united ,states with      
ruptured brain aneurysms die before     
reaching the hospital2 ,whereas a number
 of advancements have been made in      

recent years regarding the detection of 
aneurysms1 including the computerized   
tomography 7,,ct7 scan1 the magnetic    
resonance imaging 7,,mri7 test1 and the 
cerebral arteriogram1 and early         
detection can save lives2 ,whereas      
various research studies are currently  
being conducted in the ,united ,states  
in order to better understand1 prevent1 
and treat brain aneurysms2 and ,whereas 
the month of ,september would be an     
appropriate month to designate as       
8,national ,brain ,aneurysm ,awareness  
,month03 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that  
the ,house of ,representatives--  7#a7
