DEAR DR. DONOHUE: A friend of mine, 46 years old, with a wife and two children, died of a stroke. I also heard he died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Are they the same? He was the picture of health and was devoted to exercise. Could his exercise be responsible? He was almost a fanatic about it. -- P.M.

ANSWER: A subarachnoid hemorrhage is a spe-cial kind of stroke. It’s due to the bursting of an an-eurysm on one of the brain arteries. Aneurysms are small, balloon-like protrusions of a brain artery. They’re weak spots. “Subarachnoid” indicates that

the artery is below one of the brain’s coverings -- the arachnoid. It’s the same place where cerebrospinal fluid circulates. A rush of a large volume of blood into this space compresses the brain and compro-mises its function. The increased pressure on the brain adds to the threat of death.

Sometimes these weak bulges have been there from birth. In most instances, they arise during life. High blood pressure, smoking and excessive intake of alcohol contribute to their development. From 10 million to 15 million Americans have a cerebral aneurysm. Only a small percentage of these people die from it.

At the onset of bleeding, the involved person complains of a terrible headache, the worst he or she has ever had. The person then becomes unre-sponsive and slips into a coma. This sort of stroke has a high fatality rate, around 50 percent.

Answering your question about your friend’s de-votion to exercise and its influence on his death is hard. Exercise did not cause the aneurysm to form. In unusual circumstances, it might have caused the aneurysm to break. Straining to lift a very heavy load while simultaneously holding the breath has been described as a possible reason for rupture of this kind of artery problem.

The booklet on strokes describes the more com-mon stroke causes and their treatment. People can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 902W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

disease. The total course of the disease took about 10 weeks, although some recall subtle changes earlier. This has been described as hu-man mad cow disease, or very rapid Alzheimer’s. What can you tell us about it? -- T.H.

ANSWER: It’s an infection due to a new kind of germ, one that is totally protein. No other liv-ing thing, if this truly is living, is composed only of protein. The germ is called a prion. When it finds its way into the brain, it causes a rapidly progressive and profound dementia. The prion might have been there for decades, however, before signs appear.

It is a truly rare disease that occurs in all parts of the world. Most of the time, it is fatal in a short time, about one year. No medicine stops its progress or improves its symptoms. Transmission of CJ disease to family members living under the same roof as the patient has not been described.

Q: I inherited a vase from a distant relative. It is marked “Catalina Pottery,” but I have been unable to find the company listed in any of my reference books. -- Betty, Ramona, Calif.

A: The Catalina Pottery Company was founded in 1927 on Santa Catalina Island. The pottery didn’t really attract the attention of serious collectors until about 10 years ago. The small company produced vases, trinket boxes and bowls for several years, adding dinnerware in 1931. In 1937, production ended when the operation was purchased by Glad-den, McBean & Company.

Especially desirable are the Head Vases pro-duced by Catalina. Many are selling for well above the $250 mark. Since you didn’t give me any details about your vase, I can’t give you an idea of value. I recently saw a fan-shaped vase made in 1935 by the Catalina Pottery Company in an antique shop and priced for $175.

• • •Q: I have a picture that was made by the F.W.

Deval Company, manufacturers of tube colors, paints and varnishes. The material feels like plas-ter, but the picture is hand-painted. Whom can I contact to find out more about it? -- Irene, North Chili, N.Y.

A: With any piece of art, it is always a good idea to get the opinion of an expert. That means hiring the services of a good art appraiser. There are two types of appraisals, verbal and written. The verbal appraisal is an oral opinion and usually less expen-sive. A written appraisal is generally required for insurance purposes. To find a certified appraiser, contact the Appraisers Association of America, http://appraisersassoc.org, 212-889-5404; the American Society of Appraisers, http://www.appraisers.org, 702-478-2228; or the International Society of Ap-praisers, www.isa-appraisers.org, 206-241-0359. You should expect to pay for this service, whether verbal or written.

• On July 27, 1943, Joseph Stalin, premier and dictator of the Soviet Union, issues Order No. 227, which came to be known as the "Not one step backward" order, in light of German advances into Russian territory.

• On July 29, 1967, a fire on the USS Forrestal stationed off the coast of Vietnam kills 134 service members, injures hundreds and destroys 20 planes. The deadly fire on the U.S. Navy carrier began with the accidental launch of a F-4 Phantom jet rocket, which hit a parked A-4 Skyhawk jet.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will begin the 2012 season exactly where he wants to be.

This year Roush Fenway Racing couldn't come up with enough sponsorship to put Stenhouse, the reigning Nation-wide Series champion, in Sprint Cup. Owner Jack Roush

cut his Cup operation from four to three, leaving Stenhouse to defend his title in NASCAR's leading support series.

Things change.Matt Kenseth recently announced he would be leaving Roush Fenway Rac-

ing at year's end. Kenseth gave Roush its first Cup championship in 2003 and is a veteran of 13 years at the sport's premier level.

The move, which won't be effective until season's end, opens a spot for Stenhouse, a 24-year-old from Olive Branch, Miss.

"I was kind of shocked when I heard the news," Stenhouse said. "I thought for sure that we would have a fourth car (again) and definitely didn't see Matt (Kenseth) going anywhere, but you have to take advantage of each situation you're in,

and we have to go into next year ready to go and learn as much as we can, and try to finish this year off on a strong note."

Stenhouse, who once competed for Tony Stewart's USAC sprint and midget teams, doesn't think the impending move will do anything but help his bid for a second consecutive Nationwide Series title.

"I think I can go into it with more confidence and more pep in my step," he said. "I think the team is pumped about it and excited for me."

Roush expressed disappointment at Kenseth's decision to leave, but confi-dence that Stenhouse is ready to fill the void.

"His (Kenseth) leaving the team creates a window, a hole if you like, for which we have very capable, able, ready, enthusias-tic, motivated and ambitious drivers," Roush said. "We actually have two of them ready to fill voids. One of them is Ricky Stenhouse, and of course, the other is Trevor (Bayne). The plan is for Trevor to be in some kind of a full-time ride next year, and of course, Ricky is the heir apparent to the (No.) 17 program."

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: What is dog flu? A friend at the dog park told me that I need to ask the veterinarian about getting my dog vaccinated against it. -- Gladys in Dallas

DEAR GLADYS: Canine influenza, or dog flu, is a new illness that was first documented in 2004. Since then, it has been found in dogs in 38 states, with more than 100 cases recorded in Texas.

Dogs that become ill with canine influenza have symptoms that include runny nose, coughing and a fever. Just as in humans, the illness can become very serious because dogs can get dehydrated, or can develop a secondary infection like pneumonia -- conditions that can be deadly.

Furthermore, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, canine influenza is highly contagious and can be easily transmitted between dogs. (It can't be transmitted to humans.) An information release from Jeffer-son Animal Hospital in Baton Rouge, La. says that many infected dogs appear healthy at first, meaning it's more likely that an ill dog will spread influenza to other dogs at meeting places like dog parks, doggie daycare, and grooming and boarding facilities. The really depressing fact about this flu is that almost every dog exposed to it will become ill unless they're vaccinated, because it's such a new virus that dogs have no immunity to it.

The best way to pre-vent the spread of canine influenza is to get your dog vaccinated. Contact your veterinarian about the availability and cost of this vaccination. Learn more about this illness at http://www.doginfluenza.com.
