Deans' stroke musings: Contralesional brain activity in acute ischemic stroke

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.

Contralesional brain activity in acute ischemic stroke

So fucking what? Nothing written here is going to get you 100% recovered.

Van Kaam RC, et al. - An estimation was conducted of the value of conventional electroencephalography (EEG) recordings with the intention of detecting contralateral hemisphere involvement associated with functional recovery in patients with acute hemispheric ischemic stroke. Robust changes of brain activity and functional connectivity were illustrated via short conventional EEG measurements in both ipsilateral and contralateral hemispheres of individuals with acute ischemic stroke. It was observed that changes of remote functional connectivity exhibited a tendency of interacting with the functional recovery.
