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.

Headphones to diagnose brain injury, infection

How would you use this for stroke or TBI detection?
http://blog.applysci.com/?p=4026
Robert Marchbanks and Tony Birch at University Hospital Southampton have developed a noninvasive  brain pressure test to detect head injuries and infections.
The cerebral and cochlear fluid pressure (CCFP) test uses patient headphones  to measure ICP via a channel which links the inner ear with the brain. As fluids in the ear and brain are connected, a change in pressure in the brain is reflected by a pressure change in the ear.  Changes to ICP occur when the brain swells due to injury or infection and prevents blood flow.
ICP is currently measured by drilling a hole through the skull to implant a pressure probe, or by lumbar puncture, where a spinal cord fluid sample is removed with a needle.
