Deans' stroke musings: Reflecting on a year of the ESO Young Stroke Physicians and Researchers Committee: A look back at 2023 and beyond

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.

Reflecting on a year of the ESO Young Stroke Physicians and Researchers Committee: A look back at 2023 and beyond

I see ABSOLUTELY NOTHING here that even remotely suggests anyone is working on 100% recovery. This is why we need survivors in charge, existing stroke medical 'professionals' are incompetent!

2023 was a year full of great events, collaborative efforts and significant new research findings in the field of stroke. The ESO YSPR committee has been actively involved in these activities on numerous occasions.

In May, at ESOC 2023 in Munich, Germany offered insights into the latest developments in stroke research and clinical practice including late-breaking presentations of important large clinical trials. Following the success of previous editions, the YSRP Research Design Workshop provided a platform for young researchers to present their projects and receive valuable feedback from experts. We are looking forward to the ESOC 2024 in Basel, Switzerland – you can still submit you application for the YSPR Research Design Workshop at ESOC 2024 here.

Another highlight was the 10^th Edinburgh Stroke Research Workshop, which offered aspiring stroke researchers the opportunity to connect with other researchers and develop new research questions. The 10^th ESO/ESMINT/ESNR Stroke Winter School in Bern, Switzerland, welcomed 64 participants from 18 countries for this interdisciplinary teaching course. Besides, the 26^th ESO Stroke Summer School took place in September in L’Aquila, Italy, where young physicians were provided with expert knowledge in cerebrovascular diseases. Would like to join one of next year’s courses? Then look out for the announcement of the 2024 workshops and do not miss the opportunity to apply.

In collaboration with the European Stroke Journal (ESJ), we continued our European Stroke Journal Young Reviewer Programme. Our selected candidates worked together with their dedicated mentors on peer-reviews. Besides, the YSRP committee is now also involved in the editing of the ESJ’s graphical abstracts, and we look forward to continuing this in the coming year.

The Department to Department Programme continued its mission to facilitate the exchange of physicians between specialized stroke departments. The experiences shared in our ESO blog give an insight into the participants’ experiences and leave no doubt that this programme represents a great opportunity to get to know other systems of stroke care, meet interesting people, and maybe make friends for life. The application is now open for the D2D visits in 2024.

For the ESO blog we will continue to share the latest advantages in stroke research in the coming year, highlight new ESJ papers and report on the activities of the YSRP and the ESOC.

At the end of the year, we would like to thank all ESO members who contributed to the success of the initiatives and events in 2023. Looking ahead, we wish everybody a fantastic new year full of collaboration, innovation, and positive impact on the stroke community.

Happy new year and see you in 2024!
