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.

UT Southwestern Certified as Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center

This would be more believable if they actually listed statistics on 30-day deaths and  100% recovery.

You could meet all these processes and still have a 100% death rate and be praised for that. Totally wrong thing to measure.

Big Whoopee.

UT Southwestern Certified as Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center 

The Joint Commission has certified the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas as an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center. The certification is The Joint Commission’s highest-level certification for stroke care, with only 67 centers across the US having receiving this designation, according to a UT Southwestern Medical Center news release. The distinction recognizes the medical center’s high level capabilities in treating the most complex stroke cases on a round-the-clock basis.
The UT Southwestern news release notes that UT Southwestern’s highly trained stroke care teams include neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroimaging specialists, stroke rehabilitation specialists, and emergency medicine physicians, along with others who have ready access to technology and medications that can limit damage during or after a stroke. Stroke prevention procedures involve the use of special lasers to connect arteries without stopping blood flow to the brain as well as a special stent designed specifically for blood vessels in the brain.
Specialized equipment at the Texas-based center includes a CT scanner that cerates 3-D images of an organ in real time. The UT Southwestern news release also indicates that the medical center is developing a telestroke program that uses communication technology to connect UT Southwestern medical professionals with those in outlying, rural areas.
Daniel K. Podolsky, MD, president of UT Southwester, says, “This certification assures the people of North Texas that stroke victims in this region have access to the most advanced technology, procedures, and best practices to serve stroke patients.”
John Warner, MD, CEO of UT Southwestern University Hospitals, states, “A top priority at UT Southwestern is ensuring that our programs and procedures deliver the best possible care to each patient on a consistent basis. Patients come to us because of our world-class expertise, not only in stroke care, but in every aspect of the care they receive at our hospitals.”
