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.

Alzheimer's breakthrough as nasal spray may boost memory

 In mice, so don't expect anything in your children's or grandchildren's lifetime

Alzheimer's breakthrough as nasal spray may boost memory

Nasal sprays could revolutionize Alzheimer's treatment by swiftly delivering brain-boosting medicine and improving cognitive function, a new study shows.

This research is the latest in recent years to show showing promising results that support nasal therapy as a potential treatment for degenerative brain conditions.

Researchers at the Mitchell Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, University of Texas, tested a spray containing tiny lipophilic micelles (oil/fat particles that can carry substances through water) on aging mice, administering the treatment through their noses.

These findings could guide the development of more effective treatments for Alzheimer's and related diseases.

The bulk of recent studies indicating the same outcomes could bring hope to the 6.9 million Americans who are living with Alzheimer's at present.

Begin your day with a curated outlook of top news around the world and why it matters.

With the global number of sufferers projected to exceed 78 million by 2030, breakthroughs like this are crucial.

Nasal sprays are a promising new treatment for Alzheimer's because they deliver medicine directly to the brain quickly and effectively.

The intranasal solution was found to improve their cognitive function. This was achieved through the development of a confirmation-specific antibody (TTCM2)—a type which recognizes and binds to a protein only when that protein is in a specific shape or form.
