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.

The serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms and risk of ischemic stroke

Do you really think your doctor will ever test you for this and have protocols to alleviate this risk?

Cerebrovascular Diseases — | April 06, 2018
Mortensen JK, et al. - Researchers examined the link between polymorphisms in the serotonin transporter (SERT) gene and the risk of ischemic stroke/transitory ischemic attack (TIA) among Caucasian ischemic stroke patients/TIA from Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark and healthy controls. A possible relation was brought to light between the presence of the high expression SERT genotype (LALA) with a lower risk of ischemic stroke/TIA. Yielded data raised interesting considerations for future personalized medicine potential. It was noted that the lower OR estimates correlated with the high-expression genotype were consistent across all stroke subtypes.
