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.

Latest Advancements in Acute Stroke Management Sparrow Hospital April 17, 2013

This is all in preparation for a night session held by Sparrow hospital.
Latest Advancements in Acute Stroke Management April 17, 2013
I want to ask  appropriate questions without having them dismiss my questions just because I know more than they do on the subject.  Medical persons are touchy that way. You aren't important because you haven't the training to  understand this complexity.  My questions are going to be on what they are specifically doing to stop apoptosis or necrosis of brain cells.

You didn't mention any hypothermia in either the ambulance or the ER. Is hypothermia not yet considered ready for prime time?

The only ischemic treatment you specified in the first week is tPA. Are there no treatments in the first week that research has identified as neuroprotective or that can stop the neuronal cascade of death?
Maybe ibuprofen?, Viagra?, amantadine?, minocycline?, levodopa?, statins?, fish oil?, anti-depressants?, Paeoniflorin?, Inhalation of nitric oxide?, Melatonin?, Glibenclamide?, Etazolate?, linagliptin?, edaravone used in Japan since 2001, Enzogenol from New Zealand, Draculin?,PSD-95 inhibitors  tested in monkeys.

For neuroprotection, which path do you consider the most promising?
1.  Excitotoxicity
2.  Glutamate poisoning
3.  Capillaries that don't open due to pericytes
4.  Inflammatory action leaking through the blood brain barrier
