I'm sure there is no special issue for stroke/TBI because we don't have the leadership in stroke to write up the latest research and get it out to every neurologist in the world with updated stroke protocols. In fact survivors have to do all this work themselves.
Brain Injury Special Issue Explores Sports Concussions Head-On
Brain Injury special issue highlights the latest groundbreaking sports concussion research
Sports concussions have become one of the signature public health
issues of our time, and the most discussed neuroscience issue of the
decade.
Brain Injury journal recently published a special issue
which highlights the latest groundbreaking sports concussion research.
Guest-edited by Donna K. Broshek and Jeffrey T. Barth from the
University of Virginia School of Medicine, the 15 article special issue
brings together the leading scientists and clinical experts in the field
of concussion assessment and management/treatment.
(Where are the leading experts in stroke? Are there ANY?)
“We hope to provide the latest understanding of the issues
surrounding this complex problem,” Drs. Barth and Broshek said in their
forward.
Broshek calls the research presented in the journal a “must read” for concussion experts.
“The summary of psychometric issues affecting clinical use of
computerized neurocognitive tools used in sports concussion management
is invaluable,” she said.
While professional sports garner the most attention in the public
discourse on concussion, Broshek insists that safe sports participation
in youth should be a major public health focus.
“The threat of neurologic injury in our youth and the potential
long-term sequelae has generated a level of concern that has mobilized
the general public to join the debate and seek answers.”

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,987 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.
