Article Synopsis
- Geodesign enhances urban planning by managing collaboration among various knowledge holders, but there’s a lack of evidence about its effectiveness in facilitating this collaboration.
- This paper evaluates how geodesign supports knowledge co-production and examines the legitimacy and credibility of its outcomes in urban planning through a case study in Stockholm’s Skarpnäck district.
- Findings show that geodesign fosters communication and collective reasoning, but issues like data quality and model simplicity affect the perceived credibility of its outputs, suggesting that future work should focus on improving skills and integrated planning.
Objectives: Current repair procedures for articular cartilage (AC) cannot restore the tissue's original form and function because neither changes in its architectural blueprint throughout life nor the respective biological understanding is fully available. We asked whether two unique elements of human cartilage architecture, the chondrocyte-surrounding pericellular matrix (PCM) and the superficial chondrocyte spatial organization (SCSO) beneath the articular surface (AS) are congenital, stable or dynamic throughout life. We hypothesized that inducing chondrocyte proliferation in vitro impairs organization and PCM and induces an advanced osteoarthritis (OA)-like structural phenotype of human cartilage.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of throwing on upper extremity arterial blood flow before and after a controlled pitching session. The hypothesis is that pitchers with physical signs of shoulder laxity would demonstrate differential changes in upper extremity blood flow as compared to those without laxity.

- This study examined the impact of three types of isokinetic resistance training (concentric, eccentric, and a mix of both) on shoulder strength in 28 healthy adult volunteers.
- Participants were divided into four groups, including a control group with no training, and were tested before and after the training period using an isokinetic dynamometer.
- Results showed that the eccentric training group had significantly greater improvements in shoulder strength and force compared to the group that combined both training types, particularly in abduction movements.
Nonoperative treatment for minimally and nondisplaced lateral humeral condyle fractures in children.
J Pediatr Orthop
October 1998
Article Synopsis
- The study reviewed records of 95 children with nondisplaced or minimally displaced lateral humeral condyle fractures treated without surgery.
- Acute fractures were defined as being less than 24 hours old and displaced less than 2 mm in different x-ray views.
- The nonoperative treatment showed a high success rate, with a 98% union rate in 3-7 weeks; only two fractures required surgery but healed well afterwards.
