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.

8 Common Habits that May Cause Brain Stroke

With no research link this is totally worthless. Can't tell if the conclusions are based upon research results and interpreted correctly.
http://www.chronicdiseases.info/8-common-habits-may-cause-brain-stroke/
According to Dutch researchers there are at least 8 habits that have been identified as risk factors for a brain stroke, or aneurysm. These eight risk factors are the following:
• Excessive coffee consumption
• Intense physical exercise
• Blowing your nose
• Extra effort when going to the bathroom
• Sodas
• Anger and stress
These behavior increase blood pressure temporarily and allow the vein breakage into an aneurysm. To detect risk factors they performed a 3 year study on people that had suffered a stroke, performing intense research in what habits and attitudes were part of their routine before the stroke. Some of the interesting factors show that people who drank coffee had twice the risk of stroke one hours after drinking the beverage. The next high-risk habits were intense exercise, blowing your nose very hard, and having $e*u@l relations.
A stroke is an expansion of arterial walls of the brain, symptoms include vomiting, visual difficulties, loss of consciousness, and intense headache. Most of these symptoms are not noticeable until they are intense enough to make people stop their regular activities. When an aneurysm breaks it causes a brain hemorrhage.
With modern neuroimaging techniques its possible to detect aneurysms, however the causes of what produces this phenomonon are still unclear. Until now being a woman and hypertension were two risk factors most identified in clinical trials.
Around 2% of Americans, 6 million people,have brain aneurysms, most of them do not break. If people limit coffee they can reduce risk by 10%, or 4% if you begin taking laxatives. These hemorrhages cause death in about 1/3 of people who suffer an aneurysm, around 2 million people just in the U.S. and leave around 20% with chronic and permanent cognitive or motor impairment.
Most aneurysms don’t rupture, create problems, or have any symptoms. This is a double-edged sword, not feeling symptoms does not mean there is not damage occurring.
Stroke victims require intensive care and minimal stress.
Most aneurysms are treated with endovascular techniques such as coiling and stenting or a combination of both. Screening tests are run to determine the effects of the aneurysm, including cerebrospinal fluid examination, imaging, or computerized tomography. Some cognitive or motor impairment can be seen in those affected, including stiffness, paralysis, pain, or motor imbalances. Surgical clipping is a technique used for closing the aneurysm which is effective in most cases. This procedure has some risks to the brain such as blood flow damage. Once detected, most brain aneurysms can be repaired by microsurgery. This type of surgery is performed with the aid of a microscope and tiny instruments. During surgery, the aneurysm is identified and removed, whereupon it is closed wound.
If you have a first-degree relative who has been diagnosed with an aneurysm, you should undergo evaluation and exploration for aneurysms. In most cases it’s not inherited, there are cases in which more than one family member developed aneurysms.

 A lifestyle that promotes the health of your blood vessels can also provide benefits for the prevention of aneurysms:
· No smoking
· Exercise regularly
· Eat a balanced diet
· Check blood pressure.
