Is there a similar treatment for stroke victims?
Since strokes aren’t caused by any cells you can target, I doubt this would work as a preventive or post-trauma treatment.
This is specifically for cancer - wiping out cancer cells that cannot be taken out by chemo.
There is a medication that can reverse the signs and symptoms of a stroke, but it must be given within a 2-3 hour window with the onset of symptoms. The medication is called TPa, which is a clot buster. Therefore the only stroke that it can help is the one from a blood clot. Use of TPa is an automatic admit to ICU.
The signs and symptoms of a stroke are:
B Balance issues
E loss of vision in one of the Eyes
F ask the person to smile it will be unequal, have droop in their Face
A have the person raise their Arms, it will unequal.
S Have the person Speak. It could be slurred, lispy, incoherent.
T You have 2-3 hours of Time to get them to the hospital.
The deficits will all be on one side. Any of these symptoms CALL 911 get them to the hospital.
