Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 34,483 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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. Did your doctor somehow miss the recovery protocol that Pedro Bach-y-Rita used to recover fully back in 1958 with only a partial brain?
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.
I must still be interesting to some people. I have never received any direct communications from any stroke medical 'professionals'. Are they scared to talk to me?

Views are not accurate anymore: Yes, web crawlers, AI scraping bots, and spam spiders are heavily inflating view statistics in Blogger. Unlike advanced analytic engines, Blogger's built-in "Stats" dashboard operates closer to raw server logs, meaning it records almost every script execution, ping, and automated request as a valid page view.

When I first started writing this blog 15+ years ago as suggested by Peter
Levine, my only goal was to beat him in number of views and find and
report on useful rehab. Did that in about 1.5 years. The goal changed to
document all the ways survivors could be treated better and get a lot
more recovery. This would be quite easy to do if we had the strategy, leadership
and foundation money to followup the thousands upon thousands of
promising research trials and translate them into valid stroke rehab
intervention protocols.
I can't tell if this blog is doing one damn bit of good, not a single
doctor that I know of has even commented on this. And the presidents of
our fucking failures of stroke associations haven't contacted me. I'm
sure some employees of those associations know about this but are too
scared to tell their president.
I know I have at least 10,000 more posts coming since stroke research is never correlated to any stroke strategy. I don't see stroke being solved to 100% recovery in the 31 years I have left(age 100).
10,000 posts took from Sept. 2010 to May 2016
The next 10,000 took from May 2016 to Sept. 2020

And I bet your competent? doctor DID NOTHING immediately post stroke to improve your cerebral blood flow and oxygen delivery to try and save those neurons about to die from the neuronal cascade of death in the first week.
Maybe these, why isn't your incompetent doctor already delivering these to you?
I'd suggest charging your doctor $1000 a neuron that died in the first week.
Here are the calculations I put together:
My calculation is that my doctors let
5.4 billion neurons die.
21,600 miles dead myelinated fibers
2.8 trillion dead synapses
All in the first week!
Day 1: first 90 minutes:
171 million dead neurons
1.260 trillion dead synapses
675 miles of dead myelinated fibers Brain aged 5.4 years
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 2-3:
So 1440 minutes a day * 2days * 950000 = 2,736,000,000 or 2.7 billion dead neurons
1440 minutes a day *2days * 7,000,000,000syn = 20,160,000,000,000 20.2 trillion dead synapses
1440 * 2days * 3.75mi = 10800 mi dead myelinated fibers Brain aged - 2 years, a guess ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Days 4-7:
So 1440 minutes a day * 4days * 475000 = 2,736,000,000 or 2.7 billion dead neurons
1440 minutes a day *4days * 3,500,000,000syn = 20,160,000,000,000 20.2 trillion dead synapses
1440 * 4days * 1.875mi = 10800 mi dead myelinated fibers Brain aged - 2 years, a guess
------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is one hell of a lot of damage to recover from. Especially since we
don't know how to move functions from dead locations to new ones. Or know how to usefully get neurogenesis to work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals:
5.571 billion dead neurons
4.041260 trillion dead synapses
22,275 miles dead myelinated fibers Brain aged - 9.4 years
The brain contains 80 billion neurons, I only lost 6.96375% of my brain. My charge would be $5.57100000E+15, whatever that is in real terms, beyond my calculators capacity.
Damn hard to recover from all that with no stroke protocols.
Summary: Older adults with mild cognitive impairment
(MCI) face higher cerebrovascular impedance, or resistance in brain
blood flow, according to a new study. Researchers found this increased
resistance leads to hypoperfusion, or reduced blood flow in the brain,
which may contribute to cognitive difficulties in aging adults.
By
using ultrasound and blood pressure tools, scientists analyzed brain
blood flow in 58 older adults with MCI and 25 without, discovering a
significant difference in cerebrovascular health between the two groups.
This
finding suggests vascular function plays a vital role in maintaining
cognitive health. The study opens new avenues for exploring
interventions to improve blood flow and support cognitive function in
older adults at risk of Alzheimer’s.
Key Facts
Increased cerebrovascular impedance in MCI patients lowers brain blood flow.
Hypoperfusion from blood flow resistance may worsen cognitive symptoms.
The study suggests vascular health is crucial for cognitive function in aging.
Source: American Physiological Society
Older
adults with mild cognitive impairment showed greater resistance to
brain blood flow compared to those without cognitive impediments.
The first-of-its-kind study is published in the Journal of Applied Physiology and has been chosen as an APSselect article for October.
The
research team found the volunteers with mild cognitive impairment had
higher cerebrovascular impedance and, in turn, decreased blood flow
(hypoperfusion) through the brain. Credit: Neuroscience News
Brain blood flow resistance (also called cerebrovascular impedance)
is linked to cognitive problems, which can manifest in several ways,
including:
Difficulty remembering recent events.
Difficulty finding the right word or remembering a name.
Difficulty focusing on a task.
Disorientation in time and space.
The
purpose of the study was to determine if mild cognitive impairment
affects the brain’s blood vessels’ ability to transport blood.
Using
blood pressure instruments and ultrasonogram imaging to measure
impedance in the brain’s blood vessels, the research team studied 58
older adults with mild cognitive impairment who have a higher risk for
developing Alzheimer’s disease.
The researchers compared these participants to 25 age-matched volunteers with normal cognition.
The
research team found the volunteers with mild cognitive impairment had
higher cerebrovascular impedance and, in turn, decreased blood flow
(hypoperfusion) through the brain.
Hypoperfusion can lead to cognitive problems in older adults.
“These findings shed light on the pathophysiological mechanisms of
brain hypoperfusion in older adults who have a high risk of [Alzheimer’s
disease],” the researchers wrote.
“This study highlights the importance of brain vascular function in
brain health in older adults,” said Rong Zhang, PhD, a professor of
neurology and senior author of the study.

Contemporary
data on stroke epidemiology and the availability of national stroke
clinical registries are important for providing evidence to improve
practice and support policy decisions.
Aims:
To
update the most current incidence, case-fatality, and mortality rates
on stroke and identify national stroke clinical registries worldwide.
Methods:
We
searched multiple databases (based on our existing search strategy) to
identify new original papers, published between 1 November 2018 and 15
December 2021, that met ideal criteria for data on stroke incidence and
case-fatality, and added these to the studies reported in our last
review. To identify national stroke clinical registries, we updated our
last search, using PubMed, from 6 February 2015 until 6 January 2022. We
also screened reference lists of review papers, citation history of
papers, and the gray literature. Mortality codes for International
Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 and ICD-10 were extracted from the
World Health Organization (WHO) for each country providing these data.
Population denominators were obtained from the United Nations (UN) or
WHO (when data were unavailable in the UN database). Crude and adjusted
stroke mortality rates were calculated using country-specific population
denominators, and the most recent years of mortality data available for
each country.
Results:
Since
our last report in 2020, there were two countries (Chile and France)
with new incidence studies meeting criteria for ideal population-based
studies. New data on case-fatality were found for Chile and Kenya. The
most current mortality data were available for the year 2014 (1
country), 2015 (2 countries), 2016 (11 countries), 2017 (10 countries),
2018 (19 countries), 2019 (36 countries), and 2020 (29 countries). Four
countries (Libya, Solomon Islands, United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon)
reported mortality data for the first time. Since our last report on
registries in 2017, we identified seven more national stroke clinical
registries, predominantly in high-income countries. These newly
identified registries yielded limited information.
Conclusions:
Up-to-date
data on stroke incidence, case-fatality, and mortality continue to
provide evidence of disparities and the scale of burden in low- and
middle-income countries. Although more national stroke clinical
registries were identified, information from these newly identified
registries was limited. Highlighting data scarcity or even where a
country is ranked might help facilitate more research or greater policy
attention in this field.
Introduction
The
worldwide burden of stroke remains massive, and there is a continued
need to understand trends of the disease and its impact on each country,
to guide policy decisions and healthcare planning. We have previously
reported stroke statistics by country.1–3
We have also previously recognized the value of national stroke
clinical registries, not just for routine monitoring of patient
characteristics, access to clinical care, and health outcomes, but also
their potential to be a reliable supplement or substitute for
epidemiological studies in countries where a large proportion of the
population is hospitalized.3,4
This fourth issue is part of an ongoing series to update information on
(1) stroke incidence, case-fatality and mortality, and availability of
national stroke clinical registries around the world; and (2) highlight
where data are lacking or outdated.
Contemporary data on stroke epidemiology and the availability of
national stroke clinical registries are important for providing evidence
to improve practice and support policy decisions.

I'm sure I can guarantee that nothing in here tells us how many survivors 100% recovered, which means the WSO doesn't care about stroke recovery. Because stroke statistics do nothing to help survivors recover. The WSO is completely useless for survivors.
Stroke
remains the second-leading cause of death and the third-leading cause
of death and disability combined (as expressed by disability-adjusted
life-years lost – DALYs) in the world. The estimated global cost of
stroke is over US$721 billion (0.66% of the global GDP). From 1990 to
2019, the burden (in terms of the absolute number of cases) increased
substantially (70.0% increase in incident strokes, 43.0% deaths from
stroke, 102.0% prevalent strokes, and 143.0% DALYs), with the bulk of
the global stroke burden (86.0% of deaths and 89.0% of DALYs) residing
in lower-income and lower-middle-income countries (LMIC). This World
Stroke Organisation (WSO) Global Stroke Fact Sheet 2022 provides the
most updated information that can be used to inform communication with
all internal and external stakeholders; all statistics have been
reviewed and approved for use by the WSO Executive Committee as well as
leaders from the Global Burden of Disease research group.
I must still be interesting to some people. I have never received any
direct communications from any stroke medical professionals. Are they
scared to talk to me?

Fast
and slow progressor phenotypes of infarct growth due to anterior
circulation large vessel occlusion (ACLVO) remain poorly understood. We
aimed to define clinical predictors of fast and slow progressors in a
retrospective study of patients with ACLVO who underwent baseline
advanced imaging within 24 hours of stroke onset. Fast progressors
(ischemic core > 70 ml, < 6 hours after onset) and slow
progressors (ischemic core ≤ 30 ml, 6 to 24 hours after onset) were
identified amongst 185 patients. Clinical and laboratory variables were
tested for association with fast or slow progressor status. In the early
epoch, no significant differences were found between fast progressors
and controls. In the delayed epoch, slow progressors had a median NIHSS
of 14 versus 20 (p < 0.01) and MCA occlusion in 80% versus 63%
(p < 0.05) relative to controls. In multivariate analyses, NIHSS (OR
0.83, 95% CI 0.73-0.95), hyperlipidemia (OR 4.24, 95% CI 1.01 – 19.3)
and hemoglobin concentration (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.57 – 0.99) were
independently associated with slow progressor status. This study
indicates that lower initial stroke symptom severity, a history of
hyperlipidemia and mild anemia are associated with individual tolerance
to ACLVO stroke.
Numerous
studies have found associations when change scores are regressed onto
initial impairments in people with stroke (slopes ≈ 0.7). However, there
are important statistical considerations that limit the conclusions we
can draw about recovery from these studies.
Objective
To
provide an accessible checklist of conceptual and analytical issues on
longitudinal measures of stroke recovery. Proportional recovery is an
illustrative example, but these considerations apply broadly to studies
of change over time.
Methods
Using
a pooled data set of n = 373 Fugl-Meyer Assessment upper extremity
scores, we ran simulations to illustrate 3 considerations: (1) how
change scores can be problematic in this context; (2) how “nil” and
nonzero null-hypothesis significance tests can be used; and (3) how
scale boundaries can create the illusion of proportionality, whereas
other analytical procedures (eg, post hoc classifications) can augment
this problem.
Results
Our
simulations highlight several limitations of common methods for
analyzing recovery. We find that uniform recovery leads to similar
group-level statistics (regression slopes) and individual-level
classifications (into fitters and nonfitters) that have been claimed as
evidence for the proportional recovery rule. New analyses, however, also
speak to the complexities in variance about the regression slope.
Conclusions
Our
results highlight that one cannot identify whether proportional
recovery is true or not based on commonly used methods. We illustrate
how these techniques, measurement tools, and post hoc classifications
(eg, nonfitters) can create spurious results. Going forward, the field
needs to carefully consider the influence of these factors on how we
measure, analyze, and conceptualize recovery.

promising research trials and translate them into valid stroke rehab
intervention protocols.
I can't tell if this blog is doing one damn bit of good, not a single
doctor that I know of has even commented on this. And the presidents of
our fucking failures of stroke associations haven't contacted me. I'm
sure some employees of those associations know about this but are too
scared to tell their president.
I know I have at least 10,000 more posts coming since stroke research is never correlated to any stroke strategy.
