Those of you in Chicago will need to get involved because if it is left to the hospital employees they won't even research the proper items, namely to prevent the neuronal cascade of death in the first week. These 177 possibilities need research.

A new network dedicated to advancing research and therapies for stroke is forming in Chicago
thanks to $2 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health
(NIH). The Chicago Stroke Trials Consortium is a partnership among Northwestern Medicine®, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, Loyola University Medical Center, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Rush University Medical Center, and University of Chicago Medicine that will build an infrastructure to support clinical trials for stroke prevention, treatment and recovery. Northwestern University will be the regional coordinating center for the consortium and administer the project over the next five years.
"The Chicago Stroke Trials Consortium brings together the city's
leading stroke experts and top medical centers in an integrated approach
to improving treatment of stroke and reducing death and disability from
the disease," said Shyam Prabhakaran, MD, MS,
the principal investigator for the consortium, who is a neurologist at
Northwestern Memorial Hospital and associate professor of neurology at Northwestern University
Feinberg School of Medicine. "The primary goal of the network is to
rapidly develop, promote and execute high quality, multi-centered
clinical trials that will study interventions for prevention, treatment
and recovery from stroke in both adult and pediatric patient
populations."
