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.

Cerebrovascular disease is associated with an increased disease severity in patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): A pooled analysis of published literature

My God, even the International Journal of Stroke is fucking out-of-date(only 14 years) on stroke being a neurological disease NOT a cardiovascular disease. THIS is why they need to be destroyed and run by survivors. Incompetence can't be allowed to fester any longer in stroke.

WHO reclassified stroke in 2006, now a neurological disease not cardiovascular disease?

Abstract


Introduction

There is an urgent need to identify patients at high risk during the ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Whether a history of stroke is associated with increased severity of disease or mortality is unknown.

Method

We pooled studies from published literature to assess the association of a history of stroke with outcomes in patients with COVID-19.

Results

A pooled analysis of 4 studies showed a ∼2.5-fold increase in odds of severe COVID-19. While a trend was observed, there was no statistically significant association of stroke with mortality in patients with COVID-19 infection.

Discussion

Our findings are limited by a small number of studies and sample size.

Conclusion

There is a ∼2.5-fold increase in odds of severe COVID-19 illness with a history of cerebrovascular disease.(Shouldn't this be worded or neurological disease(stroke)?)
