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.

The Blueprint of Medical Research: How New Medicines Get from the Lab to the Patient

Send your Great stroke association representative there. I would be willing to bet the ASA, NSA and WSO will not be there.
A Capitol Hill Briefing
The Blueprint of Medical Research:
How New Medicines Get from the Lab to the Patient

Wednesday, February 6, 2013, 12:00pm - 1:30pm
Dirksen Senate Office Building, Room 106, Washington, DC
Register today button
Participants:
  • N. Anthony Coles, M.D., M.P.H., President, CEO, and Chairman, Onyx Pharmaceuticals
  • Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D., Director, National Institutes of Health
  • Margaret Hamburg, M.D., Commissioner, U.S. Food and Drug Administration
  • Michael Milken, Chairman, The Milken Institute and Founder, FasterCures
  • Ellen V. Sigal, Ph.D., Chairperson and Founder, Friends of Cancer Research
  • Moderator: Margaret Anderson, Executive Director, FasterCures
Lunch will be served. This is a widely attended event.

Summary:
Turning a scientific discovery into a safe and effective therapy could take nearly 14 years and more than $1 billion dollars. And yet, this medical research and development (R&D) process, with high risk and rate of failure, is the only hope for 1 in 3 Americans suffering from cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, and other diseases for which there are still no cures - and, in many cases, few meaningful treatment options.

Improving and accelerating the R&D path requires all stakeholders in the medical research ecosystem to work together, including key federal agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration; the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device industries; academia; and patient-driven research and advocacy groups.

This briefing is designed to educate and orient members of Congress, legislative staff, and advocates about the vital role federal agencies and the medical research sector play in advancing medical progress. This includes:
  • The breadth, depth and scope of the research funded by the NIH and how this translates into better health outcomes;
  • The essential role of the FDA in advancing science and ensuring that patients can access life-saving therapies that are safe and effective;
  • The distinct roles these federal agencies, industry, academia, and patient groups can play on their own, and in collaboration with each other, to speed up the time it takes to get new medicines from the lab to the patient.
