Deans' stroke musings: 14th World Stroke Congress in Singapore proposal submission

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.

14th World Stroke Congress in Singapore proposal submission

Mine is going to be on how to get to 100% recovery. Assuming you don't need to be a WSO member.

14th World Stroke Congress in Singapore proposal submission

Proposal submission is now open.

Proposal submission deadline: 13 December 2021.

We are organizing the scientific program for the upcoming 14^th World Stroke Congress in Singapore and welcome proposals for Scientific and Educational sessions. Our goal is to create a dynamic and stimulating program that includes topics of broad interest related to stroke management as well as clinical, experimental and translational stroke research, balanced across global regions.

Each proposal will be reviewed by the Scientific Program Committee of the WSC: this may also include combining some proposals. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate all proposals due to space and time limitations. It is not possible to provide feedback on the reasons why topics may or may not have been selected.

WSO aims to have a program that is balanced for gender and geography (with a maximum of two speakers/chairs from the same nationality). We appreciate all proposals from the stroke community that help achieving this objective and encourage to include speakers in an early career-stage (rising stars). The submission form will allow you to indicate which of the speakers is ‘early career’.

Session types

We welcome proposals for Main Themes and Teaching Courses.

Main Theme Session: 90 minutes, two chairs, 4-5 presentations

Teaching Courses: 90 minutes, two chairs, 4-5 presentations, please include the course level and specify the target audience – basic courses for beginners are welcome as well.

Suggestions for joint proposals between WSO and other societies should be submitted directly to the Conference Secretariat and not through this portal.

WSO would like to thank all its members for helping to shape the future of stroke science and education by submitting ideas for the WSC 2022 scientific program.
