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.

Modest daily drinking increases risk for ischemic stroke

Adults who drink a modest amount of alcohol daily had an increased risk for ischemic stroke, according to data presented at the International Stroke Conference.
Wookjin Yang, MD, of the department of neurology at Seoul National University Hospital in Korea, and colleagues analyzed data from 286,256 participants (mean age, 45 years; 52% men) from the National Health Insurance Service National Sample Cohort.

Participants were categorized by drinking frequency and quantity: abstainer (n = 152,584), social drinker (n = 99,232), daily modest drinker (n = 6,281), episodic heavy drinker (n = 25,667) and daily heavy drinker (n = 2,492). Follow-up was conducted for a median of 9 years.
Participants who drank socially had a protective effect for ischemic stroke (HR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.81-0.96). Drinking patterns influenced the results in participants who drank more. Modest drinking every day increased the risk for ischemic stroke (HR = 1.16; 95% CI, 1.01-1.33), although this was not seen in episodic heavy drinking (HR = 0.9; 95% CI, 0.76-1.07), the researchers reported. – by Darlene Dobkowski
