“…2 This has a significant impact on daily activities, and has been shown to reduce independence, the likelihood of returning to employment and hobbies, and poorer mental health and quality of life. 3,4 Mental practice (MP) is one of only a handful of interventions included in evidence based guidelines for the rehabilitation of the upper-limb after stroke. 5,6 It comprises the repeated practice of motor (or kinaesthetic) imagery.…”

Objective: This systematic review sought to determine the effectiveness of mental practice (MP) upon the activity limitations of the upper-limb in people after stroke, and when, in whom and how it should be delivered. Data sources: Ten electronic databases were searched from November 2009 to May 2020. Search terms included: Arm; Practice; Stroke Rehabilitation; Imagination; Paresis; Recovery of Function; Stroke Studies from a Cochrane review of MP (up to November 2009) were automatically included. The review was registered with Prospero database of systematic reviews (Reference number: CRD42019126044). Study selection: Randomised controlled trials of adults after stroke using MP for the upper-limb were included if they compared to usual care, conventional therapy or no treatment and reported activity limitations of the upper-limb as outcomes. Independent screening was carried out by two reviewers. Data extraction: One reviewer extracted data using a tool based upon the Template for Intervention Description and Replication. Data extraction was independently verified by a second reviewer. Quality was assessed using the PEDro tool.Data Synthesis: Fifteen studies (n=486) were included and 12 (n=328) underwent meta-analysis. MP demonstrated significant benefit upon upper-limb activities compared to usual treatment (standardised mean difference, SMD: 0.6, 95% 4 confidence intervals, CI: 0.32 to 0.88). Sub-group analyses demonstrated that MP appeared most effective in the first 3 months after stroke (SMD: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.53 to1.50) and in people with the most severe upper-limb deficits (weighted mean difference, WMD: 7.33; 95% CI:0.94 to 13.72). Conclusions:This review demonstrates that MP appears effective in reducing activity limitations of the upper-limb after stroke particularly in people in the first three months after stroke and in those with the most severe upper-limb dysfunction. There was no clear pattern of the ideal dosage of MP.

“…Organisations with the capability to utilize their strengths are more successful (de Bakke, Boonstra, & Wortmann, 2012). An organisation with the least focus on its strength factors cannot survive in the competitive business environment (Fells, 2000;Lieshout et al, 2020). It is important to know project management competencies, implications, and usage in construction projects (Remidez & Jones, 2012).…”

Purpose of the study: This research examines the major organisation strength factors, important project management competencies, and the criteria for project success, and their interrelationship. Methodology: A mixed-method approach is applied with a positivist stance to test the validity of the proposed hypotheses. Based on the detailed literature review and five expert interviews, 'organisation strengths' are identified and classified into three subcategories, making a second-order construct. A survey strategy is used to collect data from PMO individuals of construction organisations. SmartPLS software is used to analyse 97 responses. Main Findings: The results of this study support the proposed relationship. It suggests that organisation strengths influence project management competencies and project success. Furthermore, resources and capabilities influence project success. The findings are in line with the literature suggesting that organisation resources and capabilities are important for project success. Application of the study: This study is relevant for PMO individuals, especially in construction organisations. The findings highlight the importance of organisational strengths that lead to build project management competencies and eventually attain project success. These organisational strengths are of great significance to both the researchers and industry practitioners. The originality of the study: This study has applied a mixed-method approach. The model in the study empirically tests the organisation strength factors affecting project success. Furthermore, the study used SmartPLS software to test the influence of organisation strength to increase project management competencies and their cumulative effect on project success.

“…The incidence of stroke increases exponentially with age, with a 100-fold increase in rates between the 3rd and 4th decades, and the 8th and 9th decades [3]. Ischemic stroke often results in a significant decline in the quality of life for patients who survive [2,4,5]. It constitutes a serious socioeconomic problem, as more than a third of costs attributed to stroke are due to a loss of productivity, rather than actual cost of treatment.…”

Stroke has become the second most prevalent cause of mortality in the world. Currently, the treatment of ischemic stroke is based on thrombolytic and thrombectomy therapy shortly after the ischemic event (≤ 4.5 h for thrombolytic strategies; ≤ 6 h for thrombectomy strategies). However, the majority of patients are unable to receive prompt treatment, particularly in undeveloped countries. Alternative solutions are lacking for those patients that miss the optimal window of opportunity for treatment. Recently, new developments in imaging techniques and intravascular interventional devices enable the expansion of the window of opportunity for treating stroke patients. Clinical studies have reported that delayed recanalization at 24 h, or even more than 1 month, was beneficial for some patients. However, the mechanisms of neuroprotection that underly the delayed recanalization in these ischemic stroke patients remain unclear. In this review, we will summarize the clinical studies of delayed recanalization, and organize them according to the duration of occlusion. Additionally, we will discuss the changing guidelines and possible mechanisms based on animal research, and attempt to draw conclusions and future perspectives.
