Once again the wrong endpoint; reperfusion! You incompetently don't realize survivors don't give a shit about reperfusion; that's only the first step to 100% recovery!

  This is where stroke leaders would look at this and mutter to themselves; 'We could use this to detect brain signals occurring during stroke recovery; neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, and thus figure out how to make those signals repeatable'. But we have to do human testing first. But the leaders would already have started listening to brain signals using one of these already.  1. Use nanowires to listen in on single neurons 2. Or lay a grid across the cortex to listen in. But we have NO stroke leaders, nothing will get done until we get survivors in charge. Leaders solve problems ..read more

For a brief period of time, chiropractic applies 58% to 87% of the force of a suspended hanging. Do not listen to your chiropractor pooh-poohing this risk. You and your chiropractor are making the assumption with no knowledge that your cervical arteries running thru your spine are flexible enough and contain no plaque that they will withstand the twisting motion.  How do you know that is the case? Calculations here: Chiropractic force Chiropractic apologist here for their side of the story, equal opportunity and all:  DEBUNKED: The Odd Myth That Chiropractors Cause Strokes Revisited ..read more

 You likely want this because of your risk of dementia post stroke, that way your doctor can implement those EXACT DEMENTIA PREVENTION PROTOCOLS that don't exist because of your doctor's incompetence! Your risk of dementia, has your doctor told you of this?  Your doctor is responsible for preventing this! 1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?   May 2012. 2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.`     3. A 20% chance in this research.   July 2013. 4. Dementia Risk Doubled in ..read more

 Anytime I see the word 'improves' I know the stroke medical world is using the tyranny of low expectations to justify failure. 100% recovery is the only goal in stroke; ANYTHING LESS IS COMPLETE FAILURE! Endovascular therapy improved ischemic stroke outcomes at 1 year Key takeaways: The study examined 352 individuals with stroke randomized to EVT and medical care or medical care alone. EVT intervention led to improved functional independence and better ambulation. DENVER — In patients with ischemic stroke, treatment with endovascular therapy with medical care led to better functional o ..read more

 I have no clue about this, so ask your competent? doctor. This Neuroscience-Backed Brain Training System Harnesses Neurofeedback to Help Reduce Stress & Improve Focus If you told me even a year ago that brain mapping and neurofeedback techniques could be performed at home for under $500, I wouldn’t have believed you. And while I’m still skeptical of any wellness device or wearable that claims to “bring the clinic home” (or any variation of this trite marketing slogan), when I found out about Myndlift, a neuroscience-based brain mapping and training system, I was intrigued—my dad is ..read more

When your doctor tests your cognition post stroke will they at least not bias the results by providing good lighting?  Bright Light, Sharper Mind: Lighting Affects Cognition Summary: A new study explores how different light levels impact cognitive function by influencing hypothalamic activity in the brain. The study utilized advanced 7 Tesla fMRI to show that higher levels of light improve cognitive performance during complex tasks. This link between light exposure and brain function suggests potential for light-based therapies to enhance alertness and cognitive abilities throughout the ..read more

 Does your competent? hospital follow and implement stroke research from around the world? NO? So you don't have a functioning stroke hospital? Why are you there?
