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.

Why is PCI-Related Stroke on the Rise?

Ask your doctor how this stroke outcome is going to be 100% prevented. No good reply, find another doctor. 

Why is PCI-Related Stroke on the Rise?


-While still rare, strokes after percutaneous coronary intervention have increased in the U.S., retrospective study finds

by CME Writer, MedPage Today
Study Authors: Mohamad Alkhouli, Fahad Alqahtani, et al.; Ahmed Abdel-Latif, Naoki Misumida
Target Audience and Goal Statement: Cardiologists, stroke specialists, intensivists, hospitalists, primary care physicians
The goals were to examine the temporal trends in the incidence of ischemic stroke among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), predictors of post-PCI ischemic stroke, and the impact of post-PCI ischemic stroke on in-hospital morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and cost.
Questions Addressed:
  • What were the temporal trends in the incidence of ischemic stroke among patients undergoing PCI?
  • What were the predictors of post-PCI ischemic stroke?
  • What was the impact of post-PCI ischemic stroke on in-hospital morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and cost?
