Deans' stroke musings: Age-related features of cerebral hemodynamics and brain metabolism during the recovery period following a stroke

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.

Age-related features of cerebral hemodynamics and brain metabolism during the recovery period following a stroke

So, you wrote nothing that will get survivors recovered!

RESUME

Stroke is a highly disabling disease, which determines its medical and social relevance. Arterial hypertension and age are among the important risk factors for both the development and course of stroke. Arterial hypertension is a major risk factor for premature aging, stroke, and mortality. Elevated blood pressure is directly associated with cardiovascular complications such as myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, stroke, and renal failure. The World Health Organization and the International Society of Hypertension (WHO–ISH) emphasize the importance of active treatment for patients with hypertension, especially when it is combined with diabetes mellitus, diabetic nephropathy, and other concomitant target organ damage. To date, the presence and age-related characteristics of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the clinical onset and course of stroke have been established, which necessitates the development of effective methods for prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, taking into account the age-related characteristics of metabolic, hemodynamic, and morphometric reorganization of the brain in patients who have suffered a stroke.
