    Anoxic brain injuries are injuries that completely cut off the oxygen supply to the brain. This lack of oxygen to the brain leads to brain death in a few minutes. Loss of consciousness, confusion, seizures, motor impairment, and vision changes are some of the initial symptoms of anoxic brain injury. The prognosis for the disease depends on the amount of brain damage sustained during this injury.

    What is the difference between obnoxious and hideous?
    Obnoxious and hideous have different connotations when it comes to personality. Obnoxious reflects more annoyance than hate, while a person with a bad habit or unpleasant personality may be obnoxious, but not necessarily odious. Hideous, on the other hand, is rarely used in the US and may sound effeminate and shrill to our ears. Instead, we use the term 'ugly'.
