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.

Regional adiposity shapes brain and cognition in adults

 Your incompetent? doctor did nothing for 5 years with this earlier research; right? And isn't testing regional adiposity either? 

Effect of genetic liability to visceral adiposity on stroke and its subtypes: A Mendelian randomization study  May 2021

Regional adiposity shapes brain and cognition in adults

Abstract

Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used to assess obesity, but it fails to capture the complexities of regional adiposity, which can have varying effects on brain health. This study analyzed data from over 18,000 UK Biobank participants to investigate the relationship between regional adiposity, measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and brain health, evaluated through multimodal brain imaging and cognitive tests. Adiposity in the arm, leg, trunk and visceral regions was differentially associated with brain morphology, functional connectivity and white-matter integrity in the sensorimotor, limbic, default mode and subcortical–cerebellar–brainstem systems. The aging of these four brain systems was indexed by brain age gap (BAG), with cortical-related BAGs (sensorimotor, limbic, default mode) mediating relationships between visceral adiposity and cognitive performance in reasoning, executive function, processing speed and memory. These results highlight the importance of considering regional adiposity, beyond BMI, in characterizing its associations with brain and cognitive aging.
