According to research by American scientists, the demon bat's saliva can become an effective therapy to overcome the stroke treatment window, helping patients avoid sequelae or death.
In the past two experiments, Dr. Anthony Furlan, deputy director of the Center for Cerebral Vascular Center of Cleveland Hospital, found that Desmoteplase, an active protein in the saliva of demon bat, has the ability to dissolve blood. blocks cause stroke.
Currently, there is no specific treatment for patients who - for any reason - are not treated promptly in the standard 3-hour 'treatment window'.
'Treatment window', also known as 'golden time', is the best time to intervene with medical measures to bring about the desired treatment effect. During this time, if the patient is given a specific medication promptly, the recovery capacity is very large.
Therefore, early detection and early treatment of stroke are important factors determining the patient's ability to recover later.
To limit possible unfortunate cases, patients need intensive care during the treatment window time of 3 hours since the stroke begins.
Stroke, a stroke, is a very dangerous disease, which can cause many sequelae or death if not treated promptly. In the United States, stroke is the leading cause of polio in adults.
Therefore, with the use of Desmoteplase, experts hope to overcome the limits of the treatment window, helping doctors limit the consequences of stroke.
Currently, Dr. Anthony and colleagues are determining which patients are suitable for treatment with Desmoteplase.
