A department heads' blog at Queens University. Its pathetic that the last quantum leap for stroke was back in 1996 for tPA. And tPA has poor efficacy so it was more like a high jump.

My reply in the comments section, no response.
When are we going to get to the next quantum jump and start identifying
interventions that are neuroprotective or stop the neuronal cascade of
death? I know Dr. Michael Tymianski has noted that 1000+ drugs that
worked in preventing damage in rodents did not work in humans. That
might be explained by rodent inflammation is not the same as human
inflammation. For my next stroke I will demand my doctor give me
ibuprofen, levodopa, anti-depressants,minocycline, fish oil, amantadine
or tell me why not.
