This could curb rising stroke deaths

 WOW! Still don't know what the fuck needs doing. 

First off: My suggestion with no medical training is to stop the 5 causes of the neuronal cascade of death in the first week thus saving hundreds of millions to billions of neurons, vastly reducing the 30-day death rate.

Second: Create 100% recovery protocols, saving all these people from disability. AND DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT CAN'T BE DONE; RESEARCH IS OUT THERE!

Leaders solve these problems; they don't run away from them like this suggests!

Send me hate mail on this: oc1dean@gmail.com. I'll print your complete statement with your name and my response in my blog. Or are you afraid to engage with my stroke-addled mind? I would like to know why you aren't solving stroke to100% recovery!

This could curb rising stroke deaths

The number of stroke deaths across the globe could increase by 50% by 2050, researchers predict, sparking the need for interventions to mitigate the burden of mortality and disability caused by stroke.

Stroke is the second-leading cause of death worldwide and the third-leading cause of disability, according to a report by the World Stroke Organization – Lancet Neurology Commission. More than 6.6 million people died from stroke in 2020 – and experts predict that number could rise to 9.7 million fatalities annually in the next 30 years.

Hoping to reverse these trajectories, researchers identified a set of “pragmatic solutions” aiming to reduce health disparities and tackle the global burden of stroke. The proposed evidence-based interventions fall under four pillars: surveillance, prevention, acute care and rehabilitation.

“The number of people affected by stroke worldwide is rising at an alarming rate. But nearly 80% of strokes are preventable,” says Dr. Timothy Mikesell, a neurologist at Advocate Health Care. “There are a number of steps that can be taken to reduce overall risk and impact within a community.”

In the last 30 years, the number of people impacted by stroke has almost doubled, the commission’s analysis says, noting low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately affected. The incidence of stroke is also increasing in people under age 55.

Prevention strategies, evidence-based treatment and rehabilitation services, awareness campaigns, low-cost surveillance and the establishment of stroke care networks(SO GIVING UP ON 100% RECOVERY?) are among the action items in the commission’s report, which recommends “urgent implementation.”(WRONG ACTION ITEMS!)

“Managing risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes, can make a big difference in stroke prevention. It’s also important to maintain healthy habits, including eating healthy, exercising and not smoking,” Dr. Mikesell says. “For those who do experience a stroke, early detection, quick treatment and comprehensive care are critical to recovery.”

If you think someone may be experiencing a stroke, remember the BE FAST warning signs (Balance, Eyes, Face, Arms, Speech, Terrible headache and Time to call 911).
