Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 27,826 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.

Cranky people appeared better at fending off Alzheimer's disease. (Neurobiology of Aging)
Lower agreeableness is associated with better preservation of limbic areas.
•
Aging-related hippocampal volume decrease is lower in elders with higher openness.
•
Personality impact on brain volume is independent of amyloid load and APOE genotype.
Abstract
The
relationship between personality profiles and brain integrity in old
age is still a matter of debate. We examined the association between Big
Five factor and facet scores and MRI brain volume changes on a 54-month
follow-up in 65 elderly controls with 3 neurocognitive assessments
(baseline, 18 months, and 54 months), structural brain MRI (baseline and
54 months), brain amyloid PET during follow-up, and APOE genotyping.
Personality was assessed with the Neuroticism Extraversion Openness
Personality Inventory-Revised. Regression models were used to identify
predictors of volume loss including time, age, sex, personality, amyloid
load, presence of APOE ε4 allele, and cognitive evolution. Lower
agreeableness factor scores (and 4 of its facets) were associated with
lower volume loss in the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, amygdala,
mesial temporal lobe, and precuneus bilaterally. Higher openness factor
scores (and 2 of its facets) were also associated with lower volume loss
in the left hippocampus. Our findings persisted when adjusting for
confounders in multivariable models. These data suggest that the
combination of low agreeableness and high openness is an independent
predictor of better preservation of brain volume in areas vulnerable to
neurodegeneration.
