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.

Health and Human Resources releases National Alzheimer's Plan draft

Just think if we had forward looking stroke associations that would promote something similar. Only 33 pages and the hard work is already done, all you have to do is ask the Alzheimers Association if you can reuse it.

Their goals;
1. Prevent and Effectively Treat Alzheimer’s Disease by 2025
Strategy 1.A: Identify research priorities and milestones
Action 1.A.1: Convene an Alzheimer’s disease research summit with national and international scientists to identify priorities, milestones, and a timeline
Action 1.A.2: Solicit public and private input on Alzheimer’s disease research priorities.
Action 1.A.3: Regularly update the National Plan and refine Goal 1 strategies and action items based on feedback and input.
Action 1.A.5: Update research priorities and milestones
Strategy 1.B: Expand research aimed at preventing and treating
Alzheimer’s disease.
Action 1.B.1: Expand research to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease, and translate this information into potential targets for intervention.
Action 1.B.2 Expand genetic epidemiologic research to identify risk and protective factors for Alzheimer’s disease.
Action 1.B.3: Increase enrollment in clinical trials and other clinical research through community, national, and international outreach.
Action 1.B.5: Conduct clinical trials on the most promising pharmacologic interventions.
Strategy 1.D: Coordinate research with international public and private entities
Strategy 1.E: Facilitate translation of findings into medical practice and public health programs.
Action 1.E.1: Identify ways to compress the time between target identification and release of pharmacological treatments.
Action 1.E.2: Leverage public and private collaborations to facilitate dissemination, translation, and implementation of research findings.
Action 1.E.3: Educate the public about the latest research findings.
Action 1.D.1: Inventory Alzheimer’s disease research investments.
Action 1.D.2: Expand international outreach to enhance collaboration.
2. Optimize Care Quality and Efficiency
3. Expand Supports for People with Alzheimer’s Disease and Their Families
