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.

Labcorp blood test identifies signs of neurodegenerative disease

 You just might want this test post stroke so if found you can implement YOUR DOCTOR'S EXACT DEMENTIA PREVENTION PROTOCOLS. Oh, doesn't have any, well then you are screwed, your doctor however keeps on doing their incompetent job inflicting others just as badly. 

Your risk of dementia, has your doctor told you of this?

1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?   May 2012.

2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.`    

3. A 20% chance in this research.   July 2013.

4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018 

What is your doctor's EXACT PROTOCOL TO PREVENT DEMENTIA?

Labcorp blood test identifies signs of neurodegenerative disease

Fact checked byCarol L. DiBerardino, MLA, ELS

Labcorp Diagnostics announced the launch of the first widely accessible blood test that provides direct evidence of neurodegeneration and neuronal injury.

In a company press release, the global life sciences firm stated the neurofilament light chain (NfL) test is expected to allow for the identification and verification of signs of neurodegenerative disease and, in turn, will grant physicians a more effective and efficient path to diagnosis and treatment for patients.

Elevated NfL levels signal neuronal injury, whether from diseases like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s or brain injury, such as with concussion.

One of three main neurofilament types, NfL has been the most commonly studied in research settings, but a reliable NfL test had not been widely available for patient care, according to the release.

NfL is performed on a standard blood collection that can be done at a hospital, physician’s office or at any of Labcorp’s nearly 2,000 patient service centers, the company said.

“NfL is a simple, objective blood test that provides direct evidence of neuronal damage,” Brian Caveney, MD, chief medical officer and president, Labcorp Diagnostics, stated in the release. “In making this test widely available, Labcorp is supporting neurologists with a tool they’ve been asking for that enables faster diagnoses, better treatment decisions and improved patient care.”
