Falls, once thought to be an inevitable consequence of aging are now known to be the result of multiple pathological, psychological and social factors. Moreover, well-conducted research has shown that they can be prevented. Initially it appeared that multiple interventions by a multi-disciplinary team would be the most sensible and indeed the only effective approach. However, single interventions may sometimes be appropriate and on cost grounds would be preferable, provided that they are effective. This is clearly the case in the use of pacemakers for patients who are falling because of cardioinhibitory syncope. However, home modification, a seemingly obvious and intuitively correct intervention, has not been shown to prevent falls, although advice from an experienced occupational therapist can reduce falls, especially in those who have fallen previously. Whether balance training on its own is effective in reducing falls, or needs to be combined with muscle-strengthening exercises and other interventions, will be examined.

BackgroundPlantar heel pain (PHP) is a common cause of foot complaints, but information on the occurrence in primary care is scarce.AimThe objective of this study was to determine the incidence and prevalence of PHP and to gain insight in types of treatments provided to patients with PHP in primary care.MethodA cohort study was conducted in a healthcare database containing the electronic general practice medical records of approximately 1.9 million patients throughout the Netherlands. A search algorithm was defined and used to identify cases of PHP in the years 2013–2016. Descriptive statistics were used to obtain the incidence and prevalence of PHP. Data on the management of PHP was extracted in a random sample of 1000 patients.ResultsThe overall incidence of PHP was 3.81 (95% confidence [CI] = 3.75 to 3.87) per 1000 patient years and the overall prevalence of PHP was 0.4374% (95% CI = 0.4369 to 0.4378). Incidence of PHP peaked in the last quarter of every calendar year. The GP applied a wait-and-see policy at the first consultation for PHP in 18.0% of patients. The most commonly applied interventions included prescription for NSAID (19.9%), referral to a paramedical podiatric specialist (19.7%), and advice to wear insoles (16.4%): 34.0% of patients received multiple interventions (range 2–11) and 30.9% had multiple consultations for PHP (range 2–8).ConclusionPHP appears to be common in primary care. Despite a lack of evidence for most treatments, multiple interventions are applied. This urges the need for future research on effectiveness of treatments.

This paper employs RRI’s mandate of ‘commitment to care’ to understand the ‘problem’ of rice straw burning in India and the possible ways of engaging with it. Straw burning is often framed as a linear technology or policy deficit ‘problem’ in need of an immediate and quick fix. Interventions and solutions emerging from such framings have so far remained ineffective. The ‘commitment to care’ approach enables us to situate the current practices of straw burning in a complex web of relationalities, dependencies, vulnerabilities, and affect. By doing so, the ‘problem’ of straw burning is rearticulated and redefined as a cumulative effect of multiple interventions, transformations, and contradictions that led to the shaping of modern agricultural systems in India. This re-articulation demands for a rethinking of engagement, remedies and responsibilities in ways that move beyond the individualization of blame and action.
