Deans' stroke musings: Evolution of the stroke paradigm: A review of delayed recanalization

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.

Evolution of the stroke paradigm: A review of delayed recanalization

So if you are not a candidate for getting yourself recanalized, WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DOCTOR'S SOLUTION TO 100% RECOVERY? NO EXCUSES!

Abstract

While the time window for reperfusion after ischemic stroke continues to increase, many patients are not candidates for reperfusion under current guidelines that allow for reperfusion within 24 h after last known well time; however, many case studies report favorable outcomes(Favorable does not imply 100% recovery, so you are using the tyranny of low expectations to justify your failures.) beyond 24 h after symptom onset for both spontaneous and medically induced recanalization. Furthermore, modern imaging allows for identification of penumbra at extended time points, and reperfusion risk factors and complications are becoming better understood. Taken together, continued urgency exists to better understand the pathophysiologic mechanisms and ideal setting of delayed recanalization beyond 24 h after onset of ischemia.
