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.

S100B Serum Elevation Predicts In-Hospital Mortality After Brain Arteriovenous Malformation Rupture

Who the fuck cares about that prediction? You come up with solutions that prevent that death. Are you that fucking stupid?  

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie,  'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. 
Politeness will never solve anything in stroke.  I call them as I see them.

S100B Serum Elevation Predicts In-Hospital Mortality After Brain Arteriovenous Malformation Rupture

Abstract

Background and Purpose—

S100B protein serum elevation has been associated with poor prognosis in neurologically ill patients. The purpose of this study is to determine whether elevation of S100B is associated with increased in-hospital mortality after brain arteriovenous malformation rupture.

Methods—

This is a retrospective study of patients admitted for brain arteriovenous malformation rupture. The study population was divided into derivation and validation cohorts. Univariate followed by multivariate logistic regression was used to determine whether elevation of S100B serum levels above 0.5 µg/L during the first 48 hours after admission (S100Bmax48) was associated with in-hospital mortality.

Results—

Two hundred and three ruptures met inclusion criteria. Twenty-three led to in-hospital mortality (11%). Mean S100Bmax48 was 0.49±0.62 µg/L. In the derivation cohort (n=101 ruptures), multivariate analysis found Glasgow coma scale score ≤8 (odds ratio, 21; 95% CI, 2–216; 0.001) and an S100Bmax48>0.5 µg/L (odds ratio, 19; 95% CI, 2–188; P=0.001) to be associated with in-hospital mortality. When applied to the validation cohort (n=102 ruptures), the same model found only S100Bmax48>0.5 µg/L (odds ratio, 8; 95% CI, 1.5–44; P=0.01) to be associated with in-hospital mortality.

Conclusions—

Elevated S100B protein serum level is strongly associated with in-hospital mortality after brain arteriovenous malformation rupture.
