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.

Bleeding stroke associated with onset of dementia

Then we should be able to go back to these reports and validate this. If we had any decent stroke association at all. But we don't, followup analysis will never occur. If bleeds are only 13% of strokes then the following three reports need further analysis.
Has your doctor/hospital done anything since these earlier research results?
1. Your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?  May 2012.
2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.
3. A 20% chance in this research.   July 2013.

Bleeding within the brain, or intracerebral hemorrhage, was associated with a high risk of developing dementia post stroke, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2016.
Intracerebral hemorrhage, which results from a weakened vessel that ruptures and bleeds into the brain,represents 13 percent of all strokes. Researchers studied how often and why dementia might occur after intracerebral hemorrhage by following a population of 218 intracerebral stroke patients, who were free of dementia in the first six months after stroke.
They found:
  • 20 percent had developed dementia at one year after stroke.
  • 63 patients developed new onset dementia during an average follow-up of 5.4 years.
  • Risk factors associated with a higher risk of dementia after intracerebral hemorrhage, included the location of the brain bleed, older age, history of a previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, higher stroke severity score and recurrent stroke during the follow-up.
  • Risk factors identified on brain imaging were particularly linked with a very frequent cause of bleeding strokes called cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
Doctors caring for stroke survivors should consider dementia risks, especially when risk factors are present, researchers said.
