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.

Clinical Diagnosis of Stroke Related to Brain Atrophy on Computed Tomography

 What is your doctor's protocol to prevent both brain and muscle atrophy?  No protocol, call the president and ask when competent persons will be hired.

Abstract: 

Background: 
Brain Atrophy refers to the continuous loss of brain cells with
the time and loss of connections between these neurons of brain tissues. Brain atrophy
can be considered as the ultimate organ effect of cardiovascular risk factors. Advanced
brain atrophy is described following hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. 
Objective: 
To evaluate the frequency of brain atrophy and risk factors in stroke patients. 
Materials and Methods: 
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 patients having
ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke between the periods of March 2020 to February 2021.
The data was collected from the emergency department of Tertiary care Government
hospital. The patients included were 68 males & 82 females examined on Computed
Tomography. Changes of Evans Index were taken as a marker of brain atrophy on
Computed Tomography. Results: Out of 150 stroke patients, 79 patients (49=males and
30= females) had brain atrophy with a mean age of 55.51. In Atrophic patients, 49 had
hypertension, 30 had diabetes mellitus, 67 had ventriculomegaly, 39 had seizures, 42
had infarction, 66 had cognitive impairment, 18 had Depression, 66 had ischemic, and
13 had a hemorrhagic stroke. 
Conclusion: 
In conclusion, post-stroke consequences lead
to brain atrophy and are also associated with various risk factors. In Ischemic stroke,
brain atrophy is more prevalent than in hemorrhagic stroke.
