Return to work for adults following stroke: a scoping review of interventions, factors, barriers, and facilitators.

Objective: This scoping review aimed to map the literature on interventions, factors, barriers, and facilitators for return to work for adults post-stroke with or without communication disorders.

Introduction: Difficulties in returning to work can significantly impact individuals following a stroke (eg, their sense of purpose and self-esteem), not only financially, but also as they adjust to the change in their situation. Such difficulties may arise from communication disorders as well as physical impairments.

Interventions, barriers, and facilitators associated with return to work for adults following stroke: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The purpose of this scoping review is to map what has been reported on interventions, barriers, and facilitators associated with return to work for adults with and without communication disorders following a stroke.

Introduction: Difficulties in returning to work following a stroke can have a significant impact on people's lives, not only in terms of the individual's finances (and the economy as a whole), but also in terms of the person's psychosocial adjustment, for example, their sense of role and purpose and their self-esteem. This scoping review aims to map the literature examining interventional approaches, barriers, and facilitators relevant to this topic.

Quality improvement report: setting up a hospital at night service, limitations of bleep filtering and using an electronic task management system.

The 'hospital at night' concept was developed at a joint conference of the London Deanery and Clinical Staff in 2002, as an issue for education and service provision. At the start of the project, our trust had issues with both the structure of the hospital at night handover and the working practices overnight. The vision was to improve team working out of hours, expedite review of sick patients and reorganise care to seek a reduction in bleeps to medical junior doctors overnight in a way that all patients had access to the right person with the right skills for their needs at the right time.

Effects of noise on models of spiny dendrites.

We study the effects of noise in two models of spiny dendrites. Through the introduction of different types of noise to both the Spike-diffuse-spike (SDS) and Baer-Rinzel (BR) models we investigate the change in behaviour of the travelling wave solution present in both deterministic systems, as noise intensity increases. We show that the speed of wave propagation in both the SDS and BR models respectively differs as the noise intensity in the spine heads increases.
