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.

Safety and efficacy of selenium in improving the outcomes of stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis with GRADE system

 Let's see how much earlier research there is on selenium and the incompetence of your doctor in not doing something with it!

Here is how long your doctor has been incompetent! Call the president and ask for competent stroke medical 'professionals' to be hired.  You really should expect your 'professionals' to know more that stroke-addled me!

    • Safety and efficacy of selenium in improving the outcomes of stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis with GRADE system

      Abstract

      Background

      Stroke represents the second most common cause of death worldwide and a significant cause of long-term morbidity. Although the brain is incapable of regeneration, the element selenium (Se) has been found to have a role in regenerating the antioxidant systems and improving cell proliferation and viability. So, we conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis to assess its effectiveness in enhancing cell proliferation and viability.

      Aims

      Our study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of selenium in alleviating the impact of brain injury and promoting recovery in patients with stroke.

      Summary of review

      We finally included five randomized clinical trials. Our meta-analysis showed a statistically significant difference between selenium and placebo in the outcomes of interest: Glasgow Outcome Scale after 1 month (OR: 1.54, 95% CI [1.10, 2.15], P = 0.01) and respiratory infection (OR: 0.55, 95% CI [0.34, 0.88], P = 0.01). There is no statistically significant difference in Glasgow Outcome Scale after 3 months (OR: 1.36, 95% CI [0.97, 1.91], P = 0.07), mortality (OR: 0.76, 95% CI [0.45, 1.30], P = 0.31).

      Conclusion

      Selenium showed a promising contribution to minimizing the damage caused by brain injuries. Further studies, including randomized-controlled trials, must be conducted on the efficacy of selenium and its association with better neurological outcomes.(What about the ones I refer to above? Or don't you know about them?)
