Background The aim of this study was to identify case definitions of diagnostic criteria for specific musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) for use in occupational healthcare, surveillance or research. Methods A scoping review was performed in Medline and Web of Science from 2000 to 2020 by an international team of researchers and clinicians, using the Arksey and O’Malley framework to identify case definitions based on expert consensus or a synthesis of the literature. Seven MSDs were considered: non-specific low back pain (LBP), lumbosacral radicular syndrome (LRS), subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS), carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), lateral or medial elbow tendinopathy, and knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). Case definitions for occupational healthcare or research were charted according to symptoms, signs and instrumental assessment of signs, and if reported, on work-related exposure criteria. Results In total, 2404 studies were identified of which 39 were included. Fifteen studies (38%) reported on non-specific LBP, followed by knee OA (n = 8;21%) and CTS (n = 8;21%). For non-specific LBP, studies agreed in general on which symptoms (i.e., pain in lower back) and signs (i.e., absence of red flags) constituted a case definition while for the other MSDs considerable heterogeneity was found. Only two studies (5%), describing case definitions for LBP, CTS, and SAPS and lateral and medial elbow tendinopathy respectively, included work-related exposure criteria in their clinical assessment. Conclusion We found that studies on non-specific LBP agreed in general on which symptoms and signs constitute a case definition, while considerable heterogeneity was found for the other MSDs. For prevention of work-related MSDs, these MSD case definitions should preferably include work-related exposure criteria.

“…The Delphi method is a management decision tool for creating public policy, forecasting, and guiding industry that was proposed and developed by the RAND Corporation during the 1950s and 1960s [61,62]. It is a widely accepted and modifiable process for obtaining information characterized by semi-anonymity and iterative questionnaires [63].…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has promoted the development of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, but has encountered many barriers to its application in China. Therefore, identifying the barriers to BIM application and capturing their interactions are essential in order to control and eliminate the determined barriers. From this standpoint, 23 BIM application barriers were identified through a literature review and expert interviews. Furthermore, the interactions among them were determined based on the Delphi method, which was the foundation for establishing the BIM application barrier network (BABN). Then, the software Pajek was employed to construct the network model and reveal its topological characteristics based on complex network theory, including degree, betweenness, eigenvector, clustering coefficient, network diameter, and average path length. As indicated by the results, BABN possesses scale-free network property because its cumulative degree distribution obeys power-law distribution. BABN is also a small-world network, due to its relatively high clustering coefficient as well as small average path length, implying that barrier propagation in BABN is fast. In addition, the results are discussed and recommendations are proposed. This research will help BIM stakeholders to develop coping strategies to control and eliminate BIM application barriers for the sake of driving BIM sustainable development.Sustainability 2020, 12, 3190 2 of 22 showed that applying BIM can reduce errors in the project, which reduces the cost compared to the up-front cost brought by applying BIM. As a digital technology, BIM can reduce cost throughout the building's lifecycle [5]. It can be utilized to support design, procurement, fabrication, construction, operation, and maintenance, such as cost management, time management, risk management, resource management, facility management, and sustainable applications. In short, BIM offers the potential to help transform the construction industry and boost productivity in the AEC industry [6].As the application of BIM helps to promote the sustainable development of the AEC industry, many governments are actively promulgating policies to accelerate the process of BIM adoption, including the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and others [7]. The government has been an active advocate of BIM application. The Chinese AEC industry is one of the biggest and most important markets in the world, and it also plays a pivotal role in China's economy. Recently, the Chinese government has been actively promoting the development of BIM technology in China. The study conducted by Lin and Zhang [8] indicated that China's national government, local government, and association issued a total of 58 BIM-related policies from December 2013 to December 2017, and the number of polices demonstrated a typical exponential growth trend. It can be inferred that the relevant state agencies will increasingly be issued along with the development of BIM.Co...

Tendon and ligament injuries, prevalent requiring surgical intervention, significantly impact joint stability and function. Owing to excellent mechanical properties and biochemical stability, Nondegradable synthetic materials, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), have demonstrated significant potential in the treatment of tendon and ligament injuries. These above materials offer substantial mechanical support, joint mobility, and tissue healing promotion of the shoulder, knee, and ankle joint. This review conclude the latest development and application of nondegradable materials such as artificial patches and ligaments in tendon and ligament injuries including rotator cuff tears (RCTs), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, and Achilles tendon ruptures.
