Our stroke associations have a lot of work to do and its not F.A.S.T. Ask yours whats the comparison of immediate deaths from stroke to 30-day deaths. That is where they should be focusing - stopping the neuronal cascade of death. Why am I not in charge? Is everybody else incompetent?

Non-communicable diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease
killed two out of three people in 2010 — a larger share than in 1990,
when they were responsible for every second death in the world.
Of the 52.8 million people who died worldwide in 2010, ischaemic
heart disease and stroke accounted for 12.9 million, or 24 per cent. Two
decades ago, in 1990, IHD killed 9.9 million people, which was around a
fifth of all deaths that year. Eight million people died of cancer in
2010, which was almost 38 per cent more than the 5.8 million who died of
the disease in 1990.
Results of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2010,
published in The Lancet on Thursday, show heart disease and stroke
continue to be the top two killers worldwide.
Deaths from road traffic injuries have increased 50 per cent
between 1990 and 2010. Blood pressure is currently the biggest risk
factor for disease worldwide, followed by tobacco, alcohol and poor
diet.
Infectious diseases, maternal and child illness, and malnutrition
cause fewer deaths than they did 20 years ago, but more young adults
and middle-aged people are suffering and dying from disease and injury
now. The forces of nature are playing a more important role in causing
deaths worldwide, the study found.
The study, which has taken over five years and involved 486
authors in 50 countries, comprises seven articles on various aspects of
death, disability and life expectancy. This the first systematic and
comprehensive assessment of global data on disease, injuries and risk
since the first GBD study was commissioned by the World Bank in 1990. It
was led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, University
of Washington.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,983 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.
