Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 33,991 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn more about stroke and obtain information that may serve as the basis for future investigations. It will 1) establish a registry of patients with cerebrovascular disease (stroke); 2) characterize the natural history of acute stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA)-an interruption of blood flow to the brain that causes stroke symptoms for a short period of time); and 3) evaluate the data to generate ideas for future studies(WOW! Not being up-to-date on research just completely proved your INCOMPETENCY!). Patients 18 years of age or older with suspected acute stroke or TIA may be eligible for this study. Subjects will be recruited from patients who present with stroke at the emergency department of Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. The study will gather data collected from diagnostic and laboratory tests the patient undergoes as part of standard medical care, including findings of medical and neurological examinations and other tests. In addition, studies will be done for research purposes only to gather data about stroke and TIA. These may include the following: * Blood and urine tests not more than 2 tablespoons of blood will be drawn for various tests. * Electrocardiogram (EKG) (heart tracing)-electrodes placed on the chest wall detect the heartbeat and heart rhythm. * Computed tomography (CT) scan of the head-specialized X-rays are used to obtain images of the brain. * Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain-a strong magnetic field and radio waves are used to produce images that provide information about the brain tissue and blood vessels. * Transcranial Doppler (TCD)-sound waves are used to image the arteries of the brain and neck. * Echocardiogram-sound waves are used to image the heart and evaluate heart function. Patients may be asked to return to Suburban Hospital for follow-up testing in 1, 3, and/or 12 months, when some of these tests may be repeated to assess changes over time ...

Eligibility Criteria
INCLUSION CRITERIA:
In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:
Aged >=18
Presented to participating study site (ED, ICU, or inpatient unit) with or at risk of acute stroke, TIA, or other disturbances of cerebrovascular circulation
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
Subjects with contraindication to MRI scanning will be excluded from any testing which involves the use of MRI. The contraindications include subjects with the following devices or conditions:
Central nervous system aneurysm clips
Implanted neural stimulator
Implanted cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator
Cochlear implant

Subjects with a condition precluding entry in the scanner (e.g. morbid obesity, Claustrophobia, etc.) will not be included in the MRI portion of this study.
You do realize that it is much more important to solve cognition problems than to assess them. This DOES NOTHING to get survivors recovered! I'd have you all fired and I'm a nice guy except when it comes to stroke incompetence.
Introduction
Stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, frequently
resulting in persistent cognitive deficits among survivors. These
deficits negatively impact recovery and therapy engagement, and their
treatment is consistently rated as high priority by stakeholders and
clinicians. Although clinical guidelines endorse cognitive screening for
poststroke management, there is currently no gold-standard approach for
identifying cognitive deficits after stroke, and clinical stroke
services lack the capacity for long-term cognitive monitoring and care.
Currently, available assessment tools are either not stroke-specific,
not in-depth or lack scalability, leading to heterogeneity in patient
assessments.
Methods and analysis
To address these challenges, a cost-effective, scalable and
comprehensive screening tool is needed to provide a stroke-specific
assessment of cognition. The current study presents such a novel digital
tool, the Imperial Comprehensive Cognitive Assessment in
Cerebrovascular Disease (IC3), designed to detect both domain-general
and domain-specific cognitive deficits in patients after stroke with
minimal input from a health professional. To ensure its reliability, we
will use multiple validation approaches, and aim to recruit a large
normative sample of age-matched, gender-matched and education-matched
UK-based controls. Moreover, the IC3 assessment will be integrated
within a larger prospective observational longitudinal clinical trial,
where poststroke cognition will be examined in tandem with brain imaging
and blood biomarkers to identify novel multimodal biomarkers of
recovery after stroke. This study will enable deeper cognitive
phenotyping of patients at a large scale, while identifying those with
highest risk of progressive cognitive decline, as well as those with
greatest potential for recovery.
Ethics and dissemination
This study has been approved by South West—Frenchay Research Ethics
Committee (IRAS 299333) and authorised by the UK’s Health Research
Authority. Results from the study will be disseminated at conferences
and within peer-reviewed journals.
