Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 27,829 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.

Pericytes Make Spinal Cord Breathless after Injury
We already know that pericytes cause problems post stroke so this should be immediately followed up to see if this inhibition of proteins would help in stroke.
Traumatic
spinal cord injury is a devastating condition that leads to significant
neurological deficits and reduced quality of life. Therapeutic
interventions after spinal cord lesions are designed to address multiple
aspects of the secondary damage. However, the lack of detailed
knowledge about the cellular and molecular changes that occur after
spinal cord injury restricts the design of effective treatments. Li and
colleagues using a rat model of spinal cord injury and in vivo
microscopy reveal that pericytes play a key role in the regulation of
capillary tone and blood flow in the spinal cord below the site of the
lesion. Strikingly, inhibition of specific proteins expressed by
pericytes after spinal cord injury diminished hypoxia and improved motor
function and locomotion of the injured rats. This work highlights a
novel central cellular population that might be pharmacologically
targeted in patients with spinal cord trauma. The emerging knowledge
from this research may provide new approaches for the treatment of
spinal cord injury.
