Deans' stroke musings: Traumatic brain injury research highlights in 2015

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.

Traumatic brain injury research highlights in 2015

We earlier had Parkinsons year in review and now TBI but absolutely nothing on stroke from our fucking failures of stroke associations. Do they do ANYTHING AT ALL?

Article Info

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) research is in the midst of a golden age in both preclinical and clinical arenas, emphasised by large comparative effectiveness trials targeting the need for stronger evidence-based care. These trials include the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research (CENTER-TBI) trial in adults and the Approaches and Decisions for Acute Pediatric TBI (ADAPT) trial in children,^1,2 along with the development of clinical and preclinical common data elements.^3,4 Other factors fueling this golden age are funding from the US Department of Defense for research on blast-induced TBI and its links to post-traumatic stress disorder, and the media storm that has accompanied both the identification of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) resulting from mild repetitive TBI in elite athletes and the possibility that TBI is linked to the development of many neurodegenerative diseases.
