G.; Bell, F.Few studies focus on pain assessment in an elderly population. This article considers the applicability of several methods of pain assessment for an elderly subject group. Methods are discussed in terms of practical usage, preference, failure rates and sample studies. Assessment techniques for pain assessment in the older adult with pain are discussed. Problems particular to an elderly population are outlined. Complexities of pain assessment in the older adult are detailed with recommendations.Item Accidental intra-arterial injection -a cause of lower limb ischaemia in intravenous drug users(The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, 1998) Weir, Evelyn C.; Carline, TomItem Violence in health care: the reality of occupational risk(Mark Allen Publishing LTD, 1999-02-01) Weir, Evelyn C.Violence in the workplace is an increasing occupational risk for health-care workers and can range from verbal abuse to serious physical assault.

The diagnosis was found to be a tarsometatarsal injury. Tarsometatarsal fractures account for 0.2% of all fractures.1 Accurate diagnosis of injuries of this type may be difficult,2 and, although obvious injury will be detectable by radiographs, subtle subluxations may go undetected.3 While the radiographic criteria for diagnosis have been detailed in many studies,3-5 the clinical diagnosis of this type of injury has received little attention.3 This illustrative case demonstrates the clinical findings evident to the podiatrist upon examination of the foot, which may aid in the diagnosis of the more subtle presentation of this type of injury.Item The provision of foot care for diabetic inmates in Scottish prisons(1997-05) Weir, Evelyn C.; Carline, TomItem Lower limb injuries in karate - an incidence survey(1996) Weir, Evelyn C.; Carline, TomItem Self inflicted injury - a case report(The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, 1999) Weir, Evelyn C.; Carline, TomSelf-inflicted injury is a clinical phenomenon of unknown proportion. Individuals may self-harm for medical attention, physical release, or other self-motivating factors. Self-mutilation may be seen in young, otherwise healthy adults. The case of a 38-year-old female patient is illustrated. The patient presented serially with a variety of wounds on the feet, which were later discovered to be the product of a number of episodes of self-inflicted injury. A review of recent literature is detailed and, finally, the implications and practical difficulties of this sensitive clinical situation are discussed.
