	Transient Ischemic Attack Information Page: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
		TIA symptoms, which usually occur suddenly, are similar to those of stroke but do not last as long.
		Because there is no way to tell whether symptoms are from a TIA or an acute stroke, patients should assume that all stroke-like symptoms signal an emergency and should not wait to see if they go away.
		NINDS is the leading supporter of research on stroke and TIA in the U.S. and sponsors studies ranging from clinical trials to investigations of basic biological mechanisms as well as studies with animals.

	Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
		A TIA is a "warning stroke" or "mini-stroke" that produces stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage.
		TIAs are important in predicting if a stroke will occur rather than when one will happen.
		TIAs occur when a blood clot temporarily clogs an artery, and part of the brain doesn't get the blood it needs.

	About TIA
		Together with the U.S. government, TIA has led the world in the development of toy safety standards, including the creation in 1971 of a comprehensive voluntary safety standard for toys, which is now known as ASTM F963.
		TIA also works with consumer organizations, such as the International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization (ICPHSO) and, most recently, the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, to communicate the importance of safe play throughout the U.S. and around the world.
		It was this dedication and commitment that prompted TIA to establish the Toy Industry Foundation (TIF -- formerly American Toy Institute) in 1961.

	Transient ischemic attack
		TIAs and strokes are both caused by a disruption of the blood flow to the brain.
		In TIAs and most strokes, this disruption is caused by a blood clot blocking one of the blood vessels leading to the brain.
		The particular therapy depends on the root cause of the TIA and is not begun until this cause is identified.

	EFF: Review of May 20 Report on Total Information Awareness
		Formerly "Total Information Awareness," TIA has been renamed "Terrorism Information Awareness." The renaming is intended to correct the impression "that TIA was a system to be used for developing dossiers on U.S. citizens." TIA's intent, DARPA says, is to "protect citizens by detecting and defeating foreign terrorist threats before an attack." Report, Executive Summary p.
		TIA's most obvious purpose is to identify suspected terrorists (although, given the recent allegations about the use of the Homeland Security Department to track Democratic legislators in Texas, one should be concerned that TIA will be used for other purposes).
		The Report's logic is that TIA is "simply a tool for more efficiently inquiring about data in the hands of others," and this concern about data quality "would exist regardless of the method employed." R-32-33.

	Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		TIA’s quality ethos is endorsed by OFTEL, the DTI and other prominent organisations such as the Communications Managers Association (CMA) and the Telecommunications Users’ Association (TUA) who, along with TIA, agrees that the industry and its customers are best served by adopting the ‘self policing’ approach as opposed to the re-establishment of Government Regulations.
		The ‘TIA-Q’ Scheme is a register of TIA member companies who have committed to go that ‘extra mile’ to ensure their customer’s satisfaction and peace of mind when appointing a supplier or service provider.
		TIA’s Dispute Resolution Scheme has, therefore, proved to be one of the most valuable elements of choosing a TIA Member as a supplier.

	CD Baby: * TIA KNIGHT *: Blackwood
		Tia Knight is a keyboard artist who serves up an interesting variety of instrumentals on her debut release, from symphonic New Age music to more adventure and sometimes experimental pieces.
		In summary, I can see Tia Knight's music appealing to a variety of listeners, from the New Age fans who like the spiritual element but are sick of the fluff and want something more, to fans of ambient space who like the cooperation and contrast between heavenly symphonics and somewhat more experimental sounds.
		Listening to Tia's music is like climbing aboard a magic carpet, as it enters your mind and carries one to distant times of magic and mystery, of things both beautiful and haunting.

	AllRefer Health - Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) (Little Stroke, Mini Stroke, TIA)
		A transient ischemic attack is a "mini-stroke" caused by temporary disturbance of blood supply to an area of the brain, resulting in a sudden, brief decrease in brain function.
		A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is caused by an interruption of blood flow to brain cells.
		Less common causes of TIA include blood disorders (including polycythemia, sickle cell anemia, and hyperviscosity syndromes where the blood is very thick), spasm of the small arteries in the brain, abnormalities of blood vessels caused by disorders such as fibromuscular dysplasia, inflammation of the arteries (arteritis, polyarteritis, granulomatous angiitis), systemic lupus erythematosus, and syphilis.

	The Stroke Association - Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) or 'mini stroke' background paper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Following a TIA, the risk of stroke increases to approximately seven-times that of the general population of the same age: 12% in the first year and 7% per annum thereafter.
		Sometimes a TIA occurs when a blood clot from a blood vessel in another part of the body or from the heart moves upwards into one of the brain’s arteries.
		Very rarely, symptoms of a TIA are due to bleeding (haemorrhage) in the brain or other causes rather than clogged arteries.

	No Orwellian Scheme Behind DARPA's Total Information Awareness System
		In fact, TIA is what the public, Congress and many in the policy community have rightly been demanding since 9/11, a methodology for putting the pieces of the terrorism puzzle together in order to prevent another 9/11 while respecting fundamental American civil liberties.
		Neither TIA nor its subcomponents are secret projects being developed in the nether world of the intelligence community to subvert democracy and civil liberty, but open projects which DARPA described in detail during its recent DARPA Tech symposium in Anaheim, CA.
		Even in support of investigating terrorists, TIA is not designed to create a dossier on every one in the United States in the off chance doing so might provide information useful information to the war on terrorism.

		When a TIA is caused by large or small vessel arteritis, distinguishing between pure arteritis and arteritis that produces penetrating arterial disease is important.
		Patients who are of older age, have diabetes, have TIA with long duration of symptoms, or have a speech disturbance may be at the highest risk for progressing to a stroke, as are patients with large artery atherosclerosis.
		Patients with TIAs have an increased risk of stroke and death from coronary artery disease (depending on risk factors in the study group, approximately 6-10%/y).

		TIA purported to capture the "information signature" of people so that the government could track potential terrorists and criminals involved in "low-intensity/low-density" forms of warfare and crime.
		A key component of the TIA project was to develop data-mining or knowledge discovery tools that would sort through the massive amounts of information to find patterns and associations.
		Contrary to a statement of a Defense Department spokesperson that the TIA budget is $10 million, DARPA documents show that it is $240 million for fiscal years 2001-2003.

		Because symptoms and signs may have completely disappeared by the time one gets to the hospital, A diagnosis of a TIA may be made on a person's medical history alone.
		Treatment of recent TIA (within the prior 48 hours) usually requires admission to the hospital for evaluation of the specific cause and determination of long-term treatment.
		A TIA needs to be treated as aggressively as a stroke would, as any given TIA could develop into a stroke.

	Transient Ischemic Attack (Mini-stroke)
		A transient ischemic attack (TIA), or mini-stroke, occurs when the supply of oxygen is cut off to an area of the brain.
		Risk factors for a transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke are similar to those for heart disease: high blood pressure, diabetes, high blood cholesterol, cigarette smoking, obesity, and a family history of stroke or heart disease.
		The symptoms of a TIA appear and then go away because the human body has the ability to restore blood flow to the affected part of the brain under these circumstances.

	Opportunity missed: TIA patients receive less aggressive attention than those with stroke
		In the evaluation of therapy, the study found about 60 percent of both TIA and stroke patients were discharged on the antiplatelet agent aspirin. Anticoagulant therapy was similar in both groups. ACE inhibitor therapy was prescribed in 26 percent of stroke patients and in 12 percent of TIA patients.
		The rate of documented stroke education at discharge for TIA patients was 35 percent versus 67 percent for stroke patients.
		Dandapani plans to extend this TIA research to different regions of the country and to different types of hospitals. A new unit at Holmes Regional Medical Center will meet the needs of TIA patients, she said.

	American Civil Liberties Union : Testimony of Barry Steinhardt, Director of the ACLU Technology and Liberty Program on ...
		Research into areas such as new data mining and fusion methods and privacy-enhancement technologies is needed and welcomed. However, the overall surveillance goals of TIA suffer from fundamental flaws that are based in exceedingly complex and intractable issues of human nature, economics and law. Technological research alone cannot make a system such as TIA viable.
		Study after study has concluded that the failure to prevent the 9/11 attacks was a result not of insufficient information, but of the government's inability to process, analyze and distribute the bountiful data it already had.
		TIA's defenders are fond of noting that it would have to comply with all current laws. But that argument completely misses the point.
