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.

Acute stroke: Prognostic value of quantitative collateral assessment at perfusion CT

Fuck, fuck, fuck you lazy idiots. Survivors don't want predictions they want solutions. Have you never talked to any stroke survivors?  My god, the lack of professionalism in the stroke world is appalling. They are not even trying to solve stroke.

 

Acute stroke: Prognostic value of quantitative collateral assessment at perfusion CT

RadiologyShi F, et al. | January 09, 2019

In patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), researchers developed a quantitative assessment of collateral perfusion at CT and examined its value in the prediction of outcome. They reviewed data from consecutive patients with AIS and an occluded M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery who underwent pretreatment perfusion CT between May 2009 and August 2017. The final analysis consisted of 204 patients. The results obtained from this retrospective study indicate that the measurement of maximum cerebral blood flow of collateral vessels within the Sylvian fissure is a feasible quantitative collateral assessment at perfusion CT. In patients with acute ischemic stroke, maximum cerebral blood flow of collateral vessels was linked to clinical result.
