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.

A simple spit test could predict heart attacks and strokes thanks to scientists’ genes breakthrough

If you make the assumption that most stroke and heart attacks are caused by high blood pressure.
Mine wasn't, caused by plaque rupturing via exercise.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7282109/spit-test-heart-attack-strokes/
The researchers analysed data on one million people and found those with the highest genetic score were 3.34 times more likely to develop high blood pressure as the lowest




THOUSANDS of heart attacks and strokes could be prevented every year after scientists made a genes breakthrough.
A simple spit test could allow medics to detect those at a much greater risk of high blood pressure.



A simple spit test could help prevent heart attacks and strokes
Researchers at Queen Mary University London and Imperial College London have identified 535 genes linked to the condition.
The team says a third of the risk is inherited.

Identifying those with a high genetic risk at an early age would allow doctors to stress to them the importance of a healthy lifestyle sooner.
Scientists analysed data on one million people.

Professor Mark Caulfield of QMUL called it 'the most major advance in blood pressure genetics to date'
They found those with the highest genetic score were 3.34 times more likely to develop high blood pressure as the lowest.
They were also 1.5 times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.
Professor Mark Caulfield, of QMUL, said: “This is the most major advance in blood pressure genetics to date.”
A drug used to treat diabetes also targets one of the newly-linked genes, meaning it could potentially offer a lifeline to these patients too.
