Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 30,129 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.
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.

A Call for Research Questions: Help Us Identify Opportunities to Improve Care for Cardiovascular Diseases
Building
on our hallmark of engaging healthcare stakeholders in all phases of
research, PCORI is excited to join the American Heart Association (AHA)
in announcing a crowdsourcing challenge
for clinicians and researchers across the country. We’re looking for
the best ideas for new research questions that address difficult
challenges identified by patients with cardiovascular diseases.
Proposed hypotheses should focus on questions that can be answered by
comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER), which compares the
benefits and risks of alternate healthcare methods. Submissions should
use a precision medicine approach, which takes into account individual
patients’ genetics, environmental factors, lifestyle, and other
characteristics.
We’ll select four research hypotheses and give each of the winning
submitters a $5,000 prize. And we’ll consider these research questions
for future funding opportunities.
With this clinician/researcher challenge, we are continuing to
test-drive a crowdsourcing model for engaging the healthcare community
in identifying important research topics.
PCORI's Cardiovascular Disease Focus PCORI has funded 48 patient-centered
comparative clinical effectiveness studies, totaling $178 million,
related to heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases
(CVDs).
These projects, representing about 9 percent of the research portfolio,
include assessments of heart disease interventions, projects testing
the effectiveness of decision-support tools, and research that addresses
information and communication gaps that may lead to poor patient
outcomes.
This contest follows up on a previous AHA/PCORI challenge
issued to patients and caregivers to identify important dilemmas they
have faced in seeking treatment for cardiovascular diseases. Entrants in
the new contest must address one or more of the patient or caregiver
groups identified by the previous challenge:
Patients with congestive heart failure
Nonelderly patients with coronary heart disease
Patients who experience a stroke
Patients with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or other autoimmune conditions, who experience a stroke
Elderly patients with aortic stenosis—a narrowing of the heart’s aortic valve that restricts blood flow
Parents or caregivers of newborns with congenital heart disease
Patients with atrial arrhythmia—an irregular heartbeat that can
lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure, or other complications
Coming Up with Winning Hypotheses
What are we looking for in submitted research questions? Among the
questions that can be answered by CER with a precision medicine
approach, we prefer hypotheses with strong potential for research that
improves care options for people with heart-health problems.
The deadline for entries, which must be submitted here, is Thursday, October 6, 2016.
Given the burdens that cardiovascular diseases impose on our
nation—the AHA estimates that these conditions cost the nation $316
billion annually in healthcare expenses and lost productivity— there’s
great need and opportunity to improve care. With the input from
patients, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers, our organizations can
make a lasting impact through research that improves treatment for
heart disease and stroke.
