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.

Associations of arterial stiffness with cognitive performance, and the role of microvascular dysfunction

How is your doctor treating your arterial stiffness? This stiffness is precisely why you should never get your neck cracked by a chiropractor, with no testing you have no clue how flexible your vertebral arteries are.  

You and your chiropractor are making the assumption with no knowledge that your cervical arteries running thru your spine are flexible enough and contain no plaque that they will withstand the twisting motion.  How do you know that is the case?


For a brief period of time, chiropractic applies 58% to 87% of the force of a suspended hanging. Calculations here:  Chiropractic force

So if you have arterial stiffness what the fuck is your doctor's protocol to address the problem? Maybe something in one of these?

Associations of arterial stiffness with cognitive performance, and the role of microvascular dysfunction

This study was conducted to evaluate whether and how arterial stiffness is associated with cognitive performance, and the role of microvascular dysfunction. Researchers selected cross-sectional data of 2,544 individuals (age, 59.7 years; 51.0% men; 26.0% type 2 diabetes mellitus). Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and carotid distensibility coefficient were applied as measures of aortic and carotid stiffness, respectively. A composite score of microvascular dysfunction based on magnetic resonance imaging features of cerebral small vessel disease, flicker light-induced retinal arteriolar and venular dilation response, albuminuria, and plasma biomarkers of microvascular dysfunction (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, soluble vascular adhesion molecule-1, sE-selectin [soluble E-selectin], and von Willebrand factor) were estimated. The data exhibited that aortic stiffness, but not carotid stiffness, is independently correlated with worse cognitive performance, and that this correlation is in part explained by microvascular dysfunction.
