Translational research is scientific research
that helps to make findings from basic science useful for practical
applications that enhance human health and well-being. It is practiced
in the medical, behavioral, and social sciences. For example, in
medicine it is used to "translate" findings in basic research quickly
into medical practice and meaningful health outcomes.
From Wikipedia.
This is a major problem in stroke research. There are hundreds of applicable research papers and no one seems to be going through them to determine useful ways of applying them to reduce stroke severity. Since I have no medical degree there is no way anyone is going to listen to me. I have zero confidence in the Joint Commission doing anything. Or any stroke association.
I would recommend talking to the heads of the neurology department at your medical schools. Just ask them to suggest to the graduate students that a great dissertation would be to take the existing basic research out there and turn it into valid stroke protocols. With enough dissertations on the subject maybe the medical world might sit up and take notice.
Beating my head against the wall again because it feels so good when I stop.
