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.

Patients with Unstable Atherosclerosis Have More Echolucent Carotid Plaques Compared with Stable Atherosclerotic Patients: A 3-D Ultrasound Study

So what is the solution to this problem? No solution, useless research.

But I'd rather my doctor told me how much watermelon juice to drink.

I'm not medically trained so nothing here should be brought to your doctor's attention because they being completely up-to-date will already know about it.

Patients with Unstable Atherosclerosis Have More Echolucent Carotid Plaques Compared with Stable Atherosclerotic Patients: A 3-D Ultrasound Study


Published:June 07, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2020.04.002


Abstract

Using a novel 3-D ultrasound system, we aimed to determine differences in carotid plaque size and echogenicity in two atherosclerotic groups. Seventy patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction (aMI) and 69 patients known with chronic peripheral arterial disease (cPAD) were included. The cPAD group had larger plaque volumes (median: 70.24 mm 3, interquartile range [40.12–135.61] vs. 55.41 mm 3 [4.24–84.31], p = 0.004), thicker plaques (2.45 mm [1.85–3.25] vs. 1.99 mm [1.55 – 2.64], p = 0.005) and higher gray-scale medians (GSMs) (mean: 71.75, standard deviation: 21.55 vs. 60.99 [24.09], p = 0.006) than the aMI group. After adjustment for traditional risk factors, the difference persisted for thickness and volume. The difference in GSM persisted after adjustment for volume only. Patients with stable atherosclerotic disease had larger and brighter carotid plaques compared with unstable atherosclerotic patients. 3-D ultrasound may prove useful in identifying thromboembolic risk.
