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.

White Matter Injury in Global Cerebral Ischemia

And maybe finally someone is starting to understand that white matter damage needs research and protocols to recover it.

Abstract

In chronic cerebral hypoperfusion due to aging, global cerebral ischemia after cardiac arrest, acute and chronic hypoxia in asymptomatic stroke, and diffuse axonal injury after traumatic brain injury, white matter lesions occur not only as a result of secondary degeneration caused by neuronal injuries in the gray matter, but also as a direct consequence of the primary ischemic insults. Not enough attention has been directed to the molecular and cellular mechanisms of white matter injuries in humans. Failures in past stroke therapyclinical trials are partly attributed to misrepresentation of the relevance of white matter to human brain pathology in the preclinical data. Most rodent models either ignore white matter's contribution to the injury process and recovery, or inadequately account for this contribution due to a significantly lower proportion of white matter in the rodent brain compared to the human brain. Future development of effective therapies should place an equal emphasis on gray and white matter injuries.
