Deans' stroke musings: Question to Mariell L. Jessup, MD as President American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

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.

Question to Mariell L. Jessup, MD as President American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

Please pass on to Mariel L. Jessup, MD in her responsibility as President
American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
In your Stroke Rounds column, can you address the 6 known causes of the neuronal cascade of death and what is being done to solve them?
1. Excitotoxicity
2. Glutamate poisoning
3. Pericytes strangling capillaries
4. Inflammatory action leaking through the blood brain barrier.
5. Lysosomal Membrane Permeabilization as a Key Player in Brain Ischemic Cell Death.
6. Reperfusion injury
I'm just a simple stroke survivor that wants these solved before my next stroke.
Dean Reinke

Hopefully I can find email addresses for the NSA and WSO. Send these questions to every stroke association in the world and all your doctors, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo, etc. etc.
Everyone of these should know the answer off the top of their head. Anything less than that is pure incompetency. And we need to call them out on that. Its time to knock a few heads.

Dear Mr. Reinke,

Thank you for writing to the Penn Medicine web site.

We have forwarded your e-mail to Dr. Mariel Jessup as indicated in your inquiry. That office or the Penn Medicine Web Team will contact you if more information is required.

We wish you well. Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Sincerely,
Penn Medicine Web Team
