Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 27,749 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 neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

Obesity associated with increased brain-age from mid-life
Your doctor can reconcile this other research and come up with a protocol for you.
Common
mechanisms in aging and obesity are hypothesized to increase
susceptibility to neurodegeneration, however direct evidence in support
of this hypothesis is lacking. We therefore performed a cross-sectional
analysis of MRI-based brain structure on a population-based cohort of
healthy adults. Study participants were originally part of the Cambridge
Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) and included 527
individuals aged 20 – 87 years. Cortical reconstruction techniques were
used to generate measures of whole brain cerebral white matter volume,
cortical thickness and surface area. Results indicated that cerebral
white matter volume in overweight and obese individuals was associated
with a greater degree of atrophy, with maximal effects in middle-age
corresponding to an estimated increase of brain-age of 10 years. There
were no similar BMI-related changes in cortical parameters. This study
suggests that at a population level, obesity may increase the risk of
neurodegeneration.
