Drug Can Repair Brain Tissue After A Stroke

By Michael Kaplen

ADVERTISEMENTS

A cancer drug called bryosatatin can repair brain tissue if it is administered within 24 hours after a strike according to a recent article appearing in the Sept issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The drug is also being investigated as a treatment for reversing brain degeneration in Alzheimer's disease as well as in traumatic brain injury.

Currently, TpA is the drug of choice in minimizing or preventing a stroke. But, to be effective, it must be administered within the first three hours and does not repair damaged brain tissue.

The signs and symptoms of an Impending stroke are often missed by busy medical personnel.  In such cases, it is important to consult with a medical malpractice attorney to determine if a case exists for negligent medical care.  For more information, visit the medical malpractice resources of the New York malpractice attorneys at DE CARO & KAPLEN, LLP
