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.

Death in hospital after stroke

I can't find the research listed but  these researchers need to read research on the neuronal cascade of deathStupidity rules.

A study looks at the factors that influence death in the hospital after a stroke.
Treatment with clot-busting drugs such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is now accepted to be a good way of treating an acute stroke. Nevertheless, some patients having this treatment still die in hospital. Researchers at the University of Muenster, Germany, have been looking at the factors which influence the outcome for patients having tPA treatment for stroke.
They looked at 1,628 patients admitted with acute stroke in Germany during 2000 and 2002. Of those who were treated with tPA, ten per cent died while in hospital – with around two thirds of the deaths occurring within seven days of admission. The factors affecting the risk of death were older age and altered level of consciousness on admission. And the researchers also noted that the more experience the hospital had in using tPA, the less the risk of in-hospital death after treatment. The researchers say that those who are most at risk of death, even after clot-busting treatment for stroke, will need to be given extra attention in hospital.
