If you know any of these people ask for survivors to be included, otherwise nothing useful will be done.

Five Cleveland biomedical research and health care institutions have
received a $1 million grant from the National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), one of the National Institutes of Health,
to collaborate on developing the Cleveland Stroke Clinical Trials
Regional Coordinating Center.
Case Western Reserve University
School of Medicine will administer the five year grant through its
Clinical Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC), an initiative that
has secured $128 million to accelerate the progress of medical
breakthroughs from research labs to patient care.
Under the
five-year grant, Case Western Reserve will work with its CTSC partner
institutions which include primary affiliate University Hospitals (UH)
Case Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center, and
Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, to improve prevention and
treatment of strokes as well as rehabilitation for stroke patients.
“When
we bring together talented and passionate people, incredible progress
consistently follows,” School of Medicine Dean Pamela B. Davis, MD, PhD,
said. “We are delighted to see another strong partnership secure
federal support to advance its outstanding work.”
Principal
investigator on the Cleveland project is Anthony J. Furlan, MD, Chairman
and Professor of Neurology at CWRU School of Medicine and UH Case
Medical Center. Co-principal investigator is Peter A. Rasmussen, MD,
Associate Professor of Surgery at CWRU School of Medicine and Director
of the Cerebrovascular Center at Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. Furlan
has extensive experience in the design and management of large stroke
clinical trials. In the 1990s, he guided another collaborative stroke
project in the city called Cleveland Operation Stroke, which piloted the
American Stroke Association’s Get with the Guidelines campaign and is
now a national program that sets standards for hospital stroke care.
“Cleveland
has internationally renowned stroke researchers and a rich history of
cooperation among our hospital systems for stroke care,” said Dr.
Furlan. “With many hospital sites that have experience in stroke care
and clinical research, we will be able to enroll large numbers of
patients into a wide variety of clinical research trials.”
The
grant provides resources to advance collaboration among the four major
centers as well as 14 individual hospitals within their respective
systems.
For example, the grant will support a centralized
institutional review board for research projects, a project manager and
research coordinators, among other elements. The Regional Coordinating
Center will develop, prioritize and implement stroke projects for the
NINDS. Selected projects will be funded separately under a Master
Agreement with the institute. The grant also includes funds for training
a new generation of young stroke clinical investigators.
“Stroke
is one of the top killers in the United States and the leading cause of
long-term disability,” said Dr. Rasmussen. “This partnership will help
advance stroke research that will ultimately lead to better treatment
and care for stroke patients.”
Other key senior investigators with
the project include John Chae, MD, and Joseph Hanna, MD, of MetroHealth
Medical Center, Svetlana Pundik, MD, of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA,
Sophia Sundararajan, MD, and Cathy Sila, MD, of UH, and Ken Uchino, MD,
of Cleveland Clinic. Physicians and researchers from neurosurgery,
interventional neuroradiology, neurocritical care, pediatric neurology
and the Cleveland Functional Electrical Stimulation Center also will
participate.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,116 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.
