considered and agreed to  ,,resolution  
,designating ,september #bjai as        
,national ,brain ,aneurysm ,awareness   
,month4  ,whereas saccular1 fusiform1   
and dissecting aneurysms are bulging1   
weakened areas in the wall of an artery 
in the brain2 ,whereas an estimated #a  
out of every #ej individuals in the     
,united ,states has a brain aneurysm2   
,whereas brain aneurysms are most likely
 to occur in individuals between the    
ages of #ce and #fj2 ,whereas there are 
typically no warning signs before the   
occurrence of a brain aneurysm2 ,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   

young and middle-aged ,caucasians in the
 ,united ,states2 ,whereas the combined 
lost wages of survivors of a brain      
aneurysm rupture and their caretakers   
for #a year is an estimated             
#adi1icf1aah2 ,whereas various risk     
factors can contribute to the formation 
of a brain aneurysm1 including smoking1 
hypertension1 and a family history of   
brain aneurysms2 ,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

 death2 ,whereas1 each year1 more than  
#cj1jjj individuals in the ,united      
,states suffer from ruptured brain      
aneurysms1 approximately #ej percent of

annually1 between #c1jjj and #d1ejj     

individuals 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 
brain aneurysms1 including the          
computerized tomography scan1 the       
magnetic resonance imaging test1 and the
 cerebral arteriogram2 ,whereas early   
detection of brain aneurysms can save   
lives2 ,whereas1 as of #bjai1 various   
research studies are being conducted in 
the ,united ,states in order to better  
understand1 prevent1 and treat brain    
aneurysms2 ,whereas the ,brain ,aneurysm
 ,foundation1 a nonprofit organization1 
remains a globally recognized leader for
 brain aneurysm awareness1 education1   
support1 advocacy1 and research funding2
 and ,whereas the month of ,september is
 an appropriate month to designate as   
,national ,brain ,aneurysm ,awareness   
,month3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the
