Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 27,757 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.

Is there sufficient evidence to supplement omega-3 fatty acids to increase muscle mass and strength in young and older adults?
What is your doctors' prescription to stop your muscle atrophy? ANYTHING AT ALL? Or head in the sand behavior by your doctor?
For each day a patient is in hospital lying in bed with
minimal activity approximately 13% of muscular strength is lost (Ellis,
Jackson, Liu, Molloy, & Paterson, 2013).
I have 69 posts on Omega-3s with lots of benefits. Ask your doctor for an analysis. Followup needed which will never occur since we have NO STROKE LEADERSHIP to go to for anything.
Omega-3
(ω-3) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties
that presents three main forms: alpha-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic
acid, and docosahexaenoic acid. Recently, studies performed in both
young and older adults suggest that ω-3 may improve gains in muscle mass
and/or enhance physical function. Thus, the aim of this narrative
review was to evaluate the current evidence of ω-3
intake/supplementation on muscle/lean mass (LM) and physical function in
young and older adults, and draw research-based conclusions as to the
practical implications of findings. We first assessed whether ω-3 intake
is associated with muscle mass and strength (observational studies),
and then sought to determine whether evidence shows that supplementation
of ω-3 increases muscle protein synthesis, LM and strength in adults
and older adults (interventional studies). The search was carried out in
PubMed and Scopus databases for the periods between 1997 and November
2018. The following keywords were used alone and in combination: ω-3,
fish oil, muscle protein synthesis, muscle mass, lean mass, body
composition, and physical function. In general, ω-3 supplementation does
not seem to promote increases in muscle mass in sedentary young and
older adults; the hypertrophic effects of supplementation when combined
with resistance training remain equivocal. Moreover, there is
conflicting evidence as to whether supplementation confers a beneficial
effect on muscle function in older adults. Importantly, this conclusion
is based on limited data and more studies are needed before ω-3
supplementation can be recommended as a viable strategy for such
purposes in clinical practice.
