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.

Nanobiosensors: the future for diagnosis of disease?

With appropriate sensors these could be used to determine the extent of the penumbra so we could then send in the cavalry to save those neurons.

Abstract: Nanotechnology is having a profound impact on the development of a new class of biosensors known as nanobiosensors. Nanobiosensors commonly comprise a biological recognition molecule immobilized onto the surface of a signal transducer. The reaction between the biorecognition molecule and the analyte is a heterogeneous reaction and therefore the design of the biosensing interface is important in determining the performance of the nanobiosensor. Nanobiosensors are being widely used for molecular detection of biomarkers associated with diagnosis of disease. The application of new nanomaterials in biosensing has influenced biosensing research. The use of high surface area nanomaterials has been important in producing nanobiosensors with greater sensitivity and shorter response times. This review summarizes the advances in disease diagnostics, primarily through the detection of molecular biomarkers, such as proteins and nucleic acids mediated by use of nanobiosensors.

Keywords: nanomaterial, biosensors, disease diagnosis, biomimetic, macromolecular crowding, performance metrics
