Implementing the PREP2 algorithm to predict upper limb recovery potential after stroke in clinical practice: a qualitative study.
CONCLUSIONS: The PREP2 prediction tool was successfully implemented in clinical practice at ADHB. Barriers and facilitators to implementation success were identified, and implementation strategies were described. Lessons learned can aid future development and implementation of prediction models in clinical practice. IMPACT: Translating evidence-based interventions into clinical practice can be challenging and slow; however, shortly after its local validation, PREP2 was successfully implemented into clinical practice at the same site in New Zealand. In parallel to further model validation, organizations and practices c...

What Causes Facial Nerve Palsy?
Discussion Facial nerve palsy has been known for centuries, but in 1821 unilateral facial nerve paralysis was described by Sir Charles Bell. Bell’s palsy (BP) is a unilateral, acute facial paralysis that is clinically diagnosed after other etiologies have been excluded by appropriate history, physical examination and/or laboratory testing or imaging. Symptoms include abnormal movement of facial nerve. It can be associated with changes in facial sensation, hearing, taste or excessive tearing. The right and left sides are equally affected but bilateral BP is rare (0.3%). Paralysis can be complete or incomplete at prese...
