Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

4th Annual Cardiovascular Summit

So I wonder what the final statement was for stroke. But we are just data points to them.

THE need for increased awareness on the menace of cardiovascular diLinksoders was on centerstage last week in Lagos during the 4th Annual Cardiovascular Summit organised by Pfizer, the world’s largest pharmaceutical company.

The event which was to provide an elaborate platform for healthcare practitioners to engage in a robust scientific discussion on latest trends in cardiovascular disease and its management, lived up to expectation, moreso, when the Summit recently received accreditation from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) as a credit-earning Continuing Medical Education activity for medical practitioners in Nigeria.

Among the renowed speakers at the event with theme ‘Think Heart’, a call to action on caring for our hearts,” included Prof. Peter Jan Lansberg, Director of the National Foundation for Tracing Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) Patients, Amsterdam and other renowned practitioners in the field of cardiovascular medicine spoke at the event, which is the 4th in series.

Country Manager, Pfizer NEAR, Enrico Liggeri, described the cardiovascular summit as exemplifying the commitment of Pfizer to world class medical education, capacity building and excellent services in the Nigerian healthcare sector.

Statistics from the World Health Organisation (WHO) show that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally: claiming 17.1 million lives a year. More people die annually from CVDs than from any other cause with 82 percent of CVD deaths taking place in low- and middle-income countries and occurring almost equally in men and women.

Also, by 2030, almost 23.6 million people will die from CVDs, mainly from heart disease and stroke.

In a statement, Associate Director, Public Affairs and Communication, Pfizer, Maggie Olele, said, “The dismal statistics from the WHO underscore the need to generate more awareness on the ways CVDs can be managed considering the increase in habits such as unhealthy diet and physical inactivity which increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.”
