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.

Mathematical modelling of haemorrhagic transformation after ischaemic stroke

 I think it is more important for your doctors and hospital to initiate research that prevents this hemorrhagic transformation. There's even a hint of where to start; Capillary compression. This just describes a problem and with barely a hint of a solution it is useless.

Highlights

Developing a mathematical model to simulate the severity of HT.

Haematoma radius’ dependences on haemodynamics and geometry of the vessels are not significant.

Capillary compression has been shown a greater impact to venules than arterioles and capillary generations.

Capillary compression is able to reduce the leakage fraction of blood flow and restrain the development of a haematoma.

Abstract

With an increasingly elderly population globally, the impacts of cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke and dementia, become increasingly significant. Haemorrhagic transformation (HT) is one of the most common complications of ischaemic stroke that is caused by dysfunction of endothelial cells in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and that can be exacerbated by thrombolytic therapy. Recent studies also suggest that HT can lead to an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) and result in capillary compression. The aim of this study is to develop a mathematical model that can be used to simulate the consequence of HT over a range of vasculature length scales. We use a 2D vasculature model to investigate the severity of HT with different vascular geometry. The resulting model shows that the haematoma radius is approximately constant across different length scales (100-1000um) and in good agreement with the available experimental data. In addition, this study identified that the effects of capillary compression do appear to have a significant impact on the leakage fraction of blood and hence act to restrain the development of a haematoma.
