Deans' stroke musings: The modern approaches to the prognostication of rehabilitation of the patients after stroke on an individual basis: a review of the literature and the results of original investigations

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.

The modern approaches to the prognostication of rehabilitation of the patients after stroke on an individual basis: a review of the literature and the results of original investigations

Well shit the scientific approach to the prognostication of rehabilitation would to objectively look at the dead and damaged areas of the brain. Is everyone in stroke catching the stroke-addled cognitive problems lots of survivors have? Or don't they have two neurons to rub together?

Abstract

This article was designed to analyze the results of the investigations with the purpose of elucidation of the prognostic factors relevant to the rehabilitation of the patients who survived after stroke. Special attention is given to the role of demographic (age and sex) factors and the data of the clinical, neurological, psychological, cognitive, and instrumental examination of the patients. The results of the original studies based on the treatment of 203 stroke patients are discussed in the context of modern concepts of the significance of the factors contributing to the recovery of the patients in the course of the post-stroke rehabilitation. The prognostic value of the selected factors, such as leukoareosis (for the patients presenting with hemorrhagic stroke), has been demonstrated for the first time. The new data on the duration of the rehabilitation period are presented with reference to its dependence on the type of stroke and localization of the lesions. Specifically, it is estimated to be 2 years for the patients who suffered from ischemic stroke in the brain stem, 31 months for those with ischemic stroke of the hemispherical localization, and 38 months for the patients presenting with hemorrhagic stroke (hemispherical hematoma). In addition, the data on the magnitude of the post-ischemic atrophic changes of prognostic values are presented.
