I've been railing on this for years, now this mentions a treatment. So your incompetent hospital somehow has to have enough brains to get this treatment and apply it to their stroke survivors. I BET NOTHING OF THE SORT HAPPENS. You're screwed and yet your hospital still gets paid. Now you can truly find out which way your hospital is incompetent. NOT KNOWING OR NOT DOING? I suggest firing the board of directors in either case, they didn't set the objectives correctly for the staff.
Your chances of getting dementia.
1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study? May 2012.
2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.
3. A 20% chance in this research. July 2013.
4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018
5. Parkinson’s Disease May Have Link to Stroke March 2017

Advances in Studies on Stroke-Induced Secondary Neurodegeneration (SND) and Its Treatment
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
The
occurrence of secondary neurodegeneration has been exclusively observed
after the first incidence of stroke. In humans and rodents, post-stroke
secondary neurodegeneration (SND) is an inevitable event that can lead
to progressive neuronal loss at a region distant to initial infarct. SND
can lead to cognitive and motor function impairment, finally causing
dementia. The exact pathophysiology of the event is yet to be explored.
It is seen that the thalami, in particular, are susceptible to cause
SND. The reason behind this is because the thalamus functioning as the
relay centre and is positioned as an interlocked structure with direct
synaptic signaling connection with the cortex. As SND proceeds,
accumulation of misfolded proteins and microglial activation are seen in
the thalamus. This leads to increased neuronal loss and worsening of
functional and cognitive impairment.
OBJECTIVE:
There is a necessity of
specific interventions to prevent post-stroke SND, which are not
properly investigated to date owing to sparsely reproducible
pre-clinical and clinical data. The basis of this review is to
thoroughly investigate about post-stroke SND and its updated treatment
approaches.
METHOD:
Our article presents a detailed survey of advances in
studies on stroke-induced secondary neurodegeneration (SND) and its
treatment.
RESULTS:
This article aims to put forward the pathophysiology
of the progressive disease. We have also tabulated the latest treatment
approaches along with different neuroimaging system that will be helpful
for future reference to explore.
CONCLUSION:
In this article, we have
reviewed the available reports on SND pathophysiology, detection
techniques and possible treatment modalities that have not been
attempted till date.
