We probably just set back the search for hyperacute therapies that stop the neuronal cascade of death by 20-30 years. This approval means no one will buck the system at all. Damn we have total idiots in charge of stroke therapies. And they are still using subjective rather than objective ways to diagnose stroke. We would need a perfect Great stroke association to work against this headwind.

This post contains an outline of where some of my stroke rehabilitation and research blogs are categorized: http://oc1dean.blogspot.com/2011/05/deans-stroke-rehabilitation-outline.html Or use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 3508 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.
Deans' stroke musings
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!Just think of all the trillions and trillions of neurons that each day because there are effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 13% effective). I have 301 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:
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's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

What can a 5 foot robot that rolls up to your bed do that teleconferencing with Skyp can't do? What a rip off.
