The post-industrial renewal of urban structure is creating a new city center culture in which social, political and economic interests are intermingled. The current practice of city center renewal based on internal growth and partnership policy also causes undesirable consequences arising from the new form of service-based economy and the changes in space utilization and mobility associated with the future development of cities.

ObjectivesTo evaluate current practice in the treatment of proximal hamstring tendon avulsions and identify decision-making preferences.MethodsAn invitation to an anonymous e-survey containing 32 questions was sent to 3475 members of the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) and the European College of Sports and Exercise Physicians (ECOSEP).ResultsWe received 403 (12%) unique responses with a completion rate of 79%. Participants were orthopaedic/trauma surgeons (90%), sports medicine physicians (7%) or physical therapists (2%). For 83% of the participants, the preferred treatment (ie, surgical or non-operative) depends on the individual case. Participants base their decision-making process on patient- and injury-related factors (decision modifiers). The five most frequently selected decision modifiers that support the choice for surgical treatment were diminished function (84%), neurological symptoms (74%), involved tendons (82%), tendon retraction on MRI (84%) and patient preference for surgery (78%). The majority prefer early surgical repair (<2 weeks after injury) to achieve highest functional outcome (63%) and ensure a low complication risk (61%). Suture anchors are used by 93% of the participants for tendon reattachment. Estimated recovery duration (ie, time to return to sports) was a median 12 weeks (IQR: 12–20) for non-operative treatment and 17 weeks (IQR: 12–24) for surgical treatment. Estimated reinjury risk was a median 25% (IQR: 10–31.5) and 10% (IQR: 5–20), respectively.ConclusionThis survey among experienced medical professionals has summarised current practice and identified treatment decision-making preferences. The typical surgical patient has a retracted (>2 cm) two-tendon avulsion (ie, common tendon and semimembranosus tendon), is unable to engage in sports or activities of daily life, reports sciatic symptoms and prefers surgical treatment. Surgery is thought to prolong recovery and decrease reinjury risk compared with non-operative treatment and is preferably performed early.Level of evidenceLevel V.

Fundamental Polyhedron

Considering the future development and general solution of the problem under consideration and also the high precision attainable by astronomical observations, the following procedure may be the most rational approach:1. On the main tectonic plates of the Earth’s crust, powerful movable radio telescopes should be mounted at the same points where standard optical instruments are installed. There should be two stations separated by a distance of about 6 to 8000 kilometers on each plate. Thus, we obtain a fundamental polyhedron embracing the whole Earth with about 10 to 12 apexes, and with its sides represented by VLBI.

Opinion Article

Abstract The purpose of this opinion article is to review the impact of the principles and technology of speech science on clinical practice in the area of craniofacial disorders. Current practice relative to (a) speech aerodynamic assessment, (b) computer-assisted single-word speech intelligibility testing, and (c) behavioral management of hypernasal resonance are reviewed. Future directions and/or refinement of each area are also identified. It is suggested that both challenging and rewarding times are in store for clinical researchers in craniofacial disorders.

Solution Focused Therapy

The concept of client-centered therapy (Rogers, 1951) has influenced many professions to refocus their treatment of clients from assessment outcomes to the person who uses the information from this assessment. The term adopted for use in the professions of Communication Sciences and Disorders and encouraged by The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is patient-centered care, with the goal of helping professions, like audiology, focus more centrally on the patient. The purpose of this paper is to examine some of the principles used in a patient-centered therapy approach first described by de Shazer (1985) named Solution-Focused Therapy and how these principles might apply to the practice of audiology. The basic assumption behind this model is that people are the agents of change and the professional is there to help guide and enable clients to make the change the client wants to make. This model then is focused on solutions, not on the problems. It is postulated that by using the assumptions in this model audiologists will be more effective in a shorter time than current practice may allow.
