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.

Advanced non-invasive MRI of neuroplasticity in ischemic stroke: Techniques and applications

I see absolutely nothing here that is going to help survivors recover. Predictions are fucking useless since they are based on the appalling failure rate of 90% not getting to full recovery.

Abstract

Ischemic stroke represents a serious medical condition which could cause survivors suffer from long-term and even lifetime disabilities. After a stroke attack, the brain would undergo varying degrees of recovery, in which the central nervous system could be reorganized spontaneously or with the help of appropriate rehabilitation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive technique which can provide comprehensive information on structural, functional and metabolic features of brain tissue. In the last decade, there has been an increased technical advancement in MR techniques such as voxel-based morphological analysis (VBM), diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), arterial spin-labeled perfusion imaging (ASL), magnetic sensitivity weighted imaging (SWI), quantitative sensitivity magnetization (QSM) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) which have been proven to be a valuable tool to study the brain tissue reorganization. Due to MRI indices of neuroplasticity related to neurological outcome could be translated to the clinic. The ultimate goal of this review is to equip readers with a fundamental understanding of advanced MR techniques and their corresponding clinical application for improving the ability to predict neuroplasticity that are most suitable for stroke management.
