Rearfoot entities

This chapter deals with pain in the heel that might have several local differential diagnoses, these being plantar fasciitis or plantar heel pain, tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction or adult-acquired flatfoot, tarsal tunnel syndrome and calcaneal fractures. Several authors have suggested that plantar fasciitis, tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction and tarsal tunnel syndrome should be viewed as a triad, hence the focus of this chapter. Calcaneal stress fractures, much like the foregoing conditions, are of insidious onset. Non-specific heel pain such as fat-pad contusion / bruising has not been covered in this chapter because, although it might be a differential diagnosis, its presentation is quite non-specific with little research coverage

Looking Backward, Looking Forward: MLA Members Speak

In 1997 I was asked to organize humanities outreach activities at the University of California, Irvine. The result was the formation of Humanities Out There (HOT). In our workshops, faculty members and graduate students supervise teams of undergraduates in order to take the methods and materials of the university into the larger community.I believe that programs like these will  become increasingly important in the next century, as economic, cultural, and educational divisions deepen in the wake of the demise of affirmative action and as the humanities fight to define their missions in a world driven by technology and its discontents. In this brave new world, what I call the new outreach may have a role to play in responding to social crises as they are visited on the life of the university. The new outreach will be driven by intellectual content, not public relations.It will take its orientation from the faculty rather than administrators. It will engage all the research disciplines rather than remain the purview of education departments. It will be integrated into the professional lives of its participants rather than rely on the spirit of volunteerism alone
