International Journal of Stroke:,Volume 16 Issue 2, February 2021

 The International Journal of Stroke is the official publication of the World Stroke Organisation[sic]. It provides a significant contribution to the international stroke research community by concentrating on both the clinical aspects of stroke from around the world as well as basic science contributions in areas of clinical interest. (Note, nothing to do with helping survivors.)
This issue has not one single discussion on  strategy or attacking any of the rehabilitation problems in stroke. It seems to be all about peripheral issues. Absolutely nothing on stopping the neuronal cascade of death. I see nothing that even helps doctors get survivors better recovery. This is the reason this organization needs to be destroyed and refocused on supporting survivors.
