Deans' stroke musings: Acute Ischemic Stroke Therapy The Way Forward

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.

Acute Ischemic Stroke Therapy The Way Forward

I can only see the first page but there is NO mention of the neuronal cascade of death. To me that means that our stroke medical professionals still have NO fucking idea of what needs to be done to solve all the problems in stroke.

This Viewpoint discusses the future of thrombolysis and thrombectomy for patients with acute brain ischemia.

Progress in acute stroke management during the past decade involved: (1) the organization of stroke services and fast referral to suitable stroke centers, (2) medical prevention treatment of patients with ischemic stroke during and after hospitalization including hypertension and blood glucose control, statins, carotid interventions, and novel antithrombotic use, and (3) thrombolysis and thrombectomy for patients with acute brain ischemia. In this Viewpoint, we discuss only the latter; it is the most en courant topic that demands future complex integrated organization of services.
