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.

A Narrative Review of the Association Between Cataracts and Dementia

 Along with hearing loss your competent? doctor needs diagnosis protocols on this. You already have a heightened risk of dementia, don't let your incompetent? doctor make it worse but not doing this!

  • cataracts (9 posts to August 2012) Your doctor did inform you of the risk of cataracts with statins? OH NO; NOTHING!

    • With your risk of dementia post stroke your doctor and hospital (If competent) needs to have dementia prevention protocols on hand. 

    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  

    • Do you prefer your doctor and hospital incompetence NOT KNOWING? OR NOT DOING?

    Abstract: Dementia and cataract are two of the most prevalent conditions in older adults, together representing a substantial global health burden. Increasing evidence suggests a potential link between cataract and dementia, and this narrative review synthesizes current epidemiological and mechanistic evidence on their association. Recent cohort and case-control studies report a modestly increased risk of dementia in individuals with cataracts, though inconsistencies persist across populations. Mechanistic insights highlight roles for visual impairment and protein aggregation in this association. Importantly, cataract surgery shows a robust, protective effect against incident dementia, potentially via restoration of sensory input and enhanced cognitive engagement. Future studies may examine longitudinal, multi-ethnic cohorts that integrate genetic, imaging, and molecular data to investigate causality and the underlying biological mechanisms. In summary, our narrative review shows that cataract and dementia may be linked through multifactorial pathways, and maintaining visual health, particularly through timely cataract surgery, represents a potentially modifiable factor in dementia prevention strategies.
