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.

VIDEO: Skin biopsy test may help diagnose Parkinson’s, dementia

How is your competent? doctor diagnosing Parkinsons and dementia early enough to get successful prevention protocols to work?  Is your doctor prepared with these diagnosis tests? NO? Then you don't have a functioning stroke doctor!

Your risk of dementia, has your doctor told you of this?  Your doctor is responsible for preventing this!

1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?   May 2012.

2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.`    

3. A 20% chance in this research.   July 2013.

4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018 

Parkinson’s Disease May Have Link to Stroke March 2017

VIDEO: Skin biopsy test may help diagnose Parkinson’s, dementia

DENVER — Nearly all study participants believed to have a synucleinopathy had the presence of alpha-synuclein in their skin samples, according to a study presented at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting.

“The study looked at patients with one of four synucleinopathies, which include Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy, pure autonomic failure and dementia with Lewy bodies,” Christopher H. Gibbons, MD, co-founder of and scientific adviser to CND Life Sciences and a neurologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, said in this Healio video.

In this study, phosphorylated alpha-synuclein, which causes these disorders, was found in more than 95% of those believed to have a synucleinopathy, he said.

“When patients and physicians are struggling with a diagnosis, this test may offer a rapid way to help identify the underlying cause of this problem,” Gibbons said.
