The collaborative process of team-based planning draws upon the strengths of a team and develops the skills that healthcare providers need to build consensus during this time of significant change.

A small change in brick dimensions resulted in an increase in the perceived work-load of men loading and unloading pallets of bricks by hand. A laboratory study indicated that the change in brick dimensions required changes in grip pattern in order to unload bricks at the same rate, moving the same number at a time. These changed grip patterns resulted in increased upper body movement, increased chest-muscle activity and higher heart rates. These differences were reflected in higher subjective ratings of fatigue.
Solitary ulcer of the rectum is an unusual disorder which presents only occasionally to the individual clinician. While the histopathological features are characteristic, the wide variety of naked eye appearances of lesions which the syndrome produces may make for clinical confusion, particularly since the lesions may be neither solitary nor ulcerated. We present to the Victoria Infirmary, Glasgow, over the period 1969-79 which illustrate the diagnosis dilemma and variety of lesions encountered.
