Item Assessment of pain in an elderly population: Practical difficulties.(Mark Allen Publishing LTD, 1998) Weir, Evelyn C.; Burrow, J. 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 A survey of babywalkers in GP's, health visitors and orthopaedic surgeons(The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, 1999) Cashley, D.; Carline, TomItem 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.

A stratified sample of podiatry patients who had undergone nail removal in a podiatry teaching centre was monitored regarding: the number of weeks attended; the interval of weeks between appointments; and the infection rate. The simplest and cheapest dressing was used to dress the wound between clinical visits. The mean number of healing weeks was 5.2 (standard deviation of 3.8) and the mean number of clinical visits was 3.2 (standard deviation of 1.5). As all the patients attending the unit were taught how to care for the wound between visits, the outcome would suggest that the care conducted by the patients themselves has been an influencing factor on the final result of the study.Item Gli effetti dalla droga sugli arti inferiori(1998) Weir, Evelyn C.; Carline, TomItem A Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of the nail: a case report(1997) Santos, Derek; Carline, Tom; Weir, Evelyn C.Item The effects of drug abuse on the lower limb - an overview(The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, 1997) Carline, Tom; Weir, Evelyn C.Item Tarsometatarsal Injury(The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, 1998-08) Weir, Evelyn C.; Carline, TomA patient presented at a sports injury clinic with pain, swelling and bruising over the medial longitudinal arch. 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 management of a pathological fracture of the third metatarsal(1997) Carline, Tom
