Deans' stroke musings: Stroke and Advancements in Treatment and Rehabilitation

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.

Airs Thursday, November 19, at 6 p.m. Strokes can cause death or disability; however with early detection and rapid treatment, fewer Americans are dying from stroke than in years past. Join Dr. Randall Brewer for Health Matters, Thursday at 6 p.m. Dr. Ali Minagar, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurology at LSU Health in Shreveport; and Dr. Suzanne Tinsley, Associate Professor, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, and Program Director of the School of Allied Health, Faculty Practice Clinic Neurological Rehabilitation Program at LSU Health in Shreveport, will talk about strokes and advancements in treatment and rehabilitation. Calls will be taken at 1-800-552-8502.
Sample questions;
1. Which of the 5 causes of the neuronal cascade of death do you consider to be the main cause of neurons dying?
2. Exactly why/how does a neuron take on a neighboring task in neuroplasticity?
3. How do you repeatedly migrate new neurons from neurogenesis to the damaged location from the stroke?
4. What is your cure for stroke fatigue? Not cardiovascular fitness, that doesn't work.
5. What is your cure for spasticity?
6. What is your efficacy for tPA administration providing full recovery?
7. What is your 30 day death rate compared to competing hospitals?
8. How many of your patients get to 100% recovery?
