Deans' stroke musings: World Stroke Day Research Spotlight: A significant leap forward in targeted drug delivery for stroke patients

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.

World Stroke Day Research Spotlight: A significant leap forward in targeted drug delivery for stroke patients

This just proves the COMPLETE FUCKING INCOMPENCE OF STROKE LEADERSHIP! It took over 9 years to get from first research concept to actual product.

magnetic nanoparticles (12 posts to September 2016)

You mean stroke leadership completely fucking failed at putting together magnetic nanoparticles delivering smaller loads of tPA resulting in much less chance of bleeds? Solving doctor reluctance.

We should have been using magnetic nanoparticles to deliver tPA for years.

Maybe this solution from March, 2015

Magnetic nanoparticles could stop blood clot-caused strokes

Or this from May, 2012

World Stroke Day Research Spotlight: A significant leap forward in targeted drug delivery for stroke patients

On World Stroke Day, we are bringing attention to two groundbreaking European stroke research projects. One of these, the ANGIE project, funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, focuses on an innovative approach to treating ischemic strokes—strokes caused by blood clots that block blood flow to the brain.

Current treatments, like the drug rtPA, dissolve clots but must be administered in large doses, increasing the risk of dangerous side effects. To address this, researchers, led by Principal Investigator Professor Salvador Panè, developed tiny dissolvable microrobots that can be guided through blood vessels using magnetic fields. These microrobots deliver the drug directly to the clot, making treatment more precise and reducing risks.

“This is a significant leap forward in targeted drug delivery,” said Professor Panè, while Arlene Wilkie, Director General of the Stroke Alliance for Europe, added, “We look forward to seeing this technology transform stroke care and improve patient outcomes.”

This breakthrough offers hope for more effective and safer stroke treatments, potentially improving recovery rates and reducing long-term complications.
