Interpreting the Center: Mixed-Use Block for Amsterdam South
No full textThe most recent age of the cities is dominated by the “periphery” concept and the rise of the business districts. As an example, Amsterdam Zuid (South) is characterized by high accessibility, heavy infrastructure, presence of different building rises and the development of a global company “Zuidas”, which -with its overscaled character- will predictably dominate the territory. The future urban layout of the Zuid presents a highly desirable area, however a possible social/economic/physical segregation is expected. The project aims to attract a diversity of users (which are currently scattered in the area) into a peripheral urban layout where they can coexist benefiting from the qualities of a traditional city center. The Mixed-Use block is a component of a “in-between” development site situated within the borders of the Zuidas. Being inspired by local typologies and city center patterns, it includes several functions addressing three main user groups who are already existing in the area: students, families and elderly people. The project aims to increase the attractivity of the surroundings considering the students as the potentially strongest target group owing to the presence of the Vrije University of Amsterdam next to the site. In order to intervene the business district dominated attractivity in a local/global way, the design focused on user specific housing and local commerce, adding several facilities to improve the daily life of the user groups.DSD/Future Cities/Amsterdam 'Re'FiguredArchitectureArchitectur
Non-infectious subcutaneous emphysema of the hand: a case report and review of the literature.
No full textSubcutaneous emphysema in the hand can result from infectious and non-infectious aetiologies. Adequate history, physical examination, laboratory studies and imaging are needed to delineate the cause, to prevent debilitating consequences and to avoid unnecessary procedures and interventions. In this case report, an 18-year-old man sustained a trauma to the dorsum of the hand after a fist fight, without any penetrating objects, that resulted in instantaneous non-infectious subcutaneous emphysema which resolved with conservative management. A literature review of cases of non-infectious subcutaneous emphysema is presented here with an overview of the mechanism of injury, as well as the course and management. Certain criteria are also outlined to help differentiate between infectious and non-infectious emphysema, which include laboratory studies, imaging, timing and clinical symptoms.Brothers TE, 1998, J AM COLL SURGEONS, V187, P416, DOI 10.1016-S1072-7515(98)00192-6; Canter HI, 2000, ANN PLAS SURG, V45, P337; Capes JO, 1999, J ORAL MAXIL SURG, V57, P996, DOI 10.1016-S0278-2391(99)90024-1; CLAVIJOALVAREZ JA, 2009, PLAST RECONSTR SURG, V123; CRIBIER B, 1993, ANN DERMATOL VENER, V120, P900; De M, 2001, EMERG MED J, V18, P522, DOI 10.1136-emj.18.6.522; EYRES KS, 1993, J HAND SURG-BRIT EUR, V18B, P251, DOI 10.1016-0266-7681(93)90122-V; GOETTING AT, 1992, J OCCUP ENVIRON MED, V34, P775, DOI 10.1097-00043764-199208000-00010; GREENSTONE M, 1987, CHEST, V92, P155, DOI 10.1378-chest.92.1.155; Klein M, 2003, MEDICINA-BUENOS AIRE, V63, P721; Lanting Brent, 2007, Clin Orthop Relat Res, V461, P20; Mahirogullari M, 2008, JOINT BONE SPINE, V75, P84, DOI 10.1016-j.jbspin.2007.02.007; MAYNOR M, 2009, NECROTIZING FASCIITI; Ozalay M, 2003, ARCH ORTHOP TRAUM SU, V123, P433, DOI 10.1007-s00402-003-0566-0; PARMAKSIZOGLU F, J EMERGENCY MED, DOI DOI 10.1016-J.JERMERMED.2008.03.043; SAGUI M, 1986, Journal de Radiologie (Paris), V67, P827; Saray A, 2004, Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir, V36, P255, DOI 10.1055-s-2004-817794; SAVIC B, 1979, ZBL CHIR, V104, P180; Schulz B, 2008, ORTHOPEDICS, V31, P495; Shahshahani Mostafa Mirshams, 2006, Dermatol Online J, V12, P4; SINGH H, 2002, ASIAN OCEANIAN J RAD, V7, P157; Lo SJ, 2005, J HAND SURG-BRIT EUR, V30B, P482, DOI 10.1016-j.jhsb.2005.04.020; STEVENSON J, 1995, INJURY, V26, P151, DOI 10.1016-0020-1383(95)93491-Y; Tiong W H C, 2009, J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg, V62, pe29, DOI 10.1016-j.bjps.2007.11.002; van der Molen ABM, 1999, J HAND SURG-AM, V24A, P638; Verma SB, 2007, J EUR ACAD DERMATOL, V21, P248, DOI 10.1111-j.1468-3083.2006.01823.x; Wall DB, 2000, J AM COLL SURGEONS, V191, P227, DOI 10.1016-S1072-7515(00)00318-5; Wells D T, 1976, Hand, V8, P62; WINSHALL JS, 2005, NEW ENGL J MED, V52, P1357; Wysoki MG, 1997, RADIOLOGY, V203, P85921
