Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,294 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 neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

Breakthrough process turns skin cells into protective brain cells
If myelin is destroyed as part of our strokes then this could be very useful to us.
Cell-based therapies for myelin disorders, such as multiple
sclerosis and leukodystrophies, require technologies to generate
functional oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Here we describe direct
conversion of mouse embryonic and lung fibroblasts to induced
oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (iOPCs) using sets of either eight or
three defined transcription factors. iOPCs exhibit a bipolar morphology
and global gene expression profile consistent with bona fide OPCs. They
can be expanded in vitro for at least five passages while
retaining the ability to differentiate into multiprocessed
oligodendrocytes. When transplanted to hypomyelinated mice, iOPCs are
capable of ensheathing host axons and generating compact myelin. Lineage
conversion of somatic cells to expandable iOPCs provides a strategy to
study the molecular control of oligodendrocyte lineage identity and may
facilitate neurological disease modeling and autologous remyelinating
therapies.
