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.

Methodological Factors in Determining Risk of Dementia After Transient Ischemic Attack and Stroke

So what is the chance of dementia post-stroke? Which one does your doctor ascribe to and WHAT EXACTLY  is being done to prevent it in you?
My initial finding was your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%.
A 20% chance in this research.

    I read the research paper some months ago and it contains much info about supplements and foods to ward off AD.
    A change in diet is sometimes difficult to achieve because of habits, expense, ability and availability, and etc.

      I agree, it's why I wrote the post; Dementia prevention 19 ways;
      http://www.oc1dean.blogspot.com/2014/04/plasma-phospholipids-identify.html
      That post is actually out-of-date, I think there are at least 5-6 new items to add.
