The extensive research examining relations between group member dissimilarity and outcome measures has yielded inconsistent results. In the present research, authors used computer simulations to examine impact that a methodological feature of such participant nonresponse, can have on dissimilarity-outcome relations. Results suggest using only survey responders calculate typically results in underestimation true effects these occur even when response rates are high.

Failures to replicate published psychological research findings have contributed a "crisis of confidence." Several reasons for these failures been proposed, the most notable being questionable practices and data fraud. We examine replication from different perspective illustrate that current intuitive expectations are unreasonable. used computer simulations create thousands ideal replications, with same participants, wherein only difference across replications was random measurement error....

A consecutive series of 150 patients with clavicular fractures is presented. In 81% detailed information regarding the mechanism injury was available and, these, 94% had fractured their clavicle from a direct blow on shoulder; only 6% fallen outstretched hand. This finding, at variance commonly held views this injury, further investigated by biomechanical analysis forces involved in fractures. The model supported clinical findings.

Between 1995 and 2000, 19 consecutive patients with fractures of the distal humerus were treated by primary total elbow replacement using Coonrad-Morrey prosthesis. No patient had inflammatory or degenerative arthritis elbow. The mean age at time injury was 73 years (61 to 95). According AO classification, 11 suffered a C3 injury, two B3 an A3. One fracture unclassified. Two died from unrelated causes one unable be assessed because concurrent illness. follow-up three (1 5.5). At (68%)...

Three studies examined whether the concern for justice can be a genuine determinant of attitudes toward affirmative action (AA) or justice-based opposition merely masks prejudice. In line with hypothesis as cause, we found that, independent their level prejudice, people were opposed to AA programs that violate distributive and procedural norms, result beliefs in principles fairness violate. Nevertheless, rationalization, also people's prejudice was positively associated not explicitly...

We have reviewed 12 fractures of the coracoid process. In two these patients fracture extended into body scapula and resulted in displacement glenoid. some cases, there were associated acromioclavicular glenohumeral dislocations or clavicle acromion. Two required internal fixation to restore congruence glenoid; others treated conservatively with success. present a new classification which helps their management.

Between 1990 and 1996 we performed 20 consecutive ulnohumeral arthroplasties for primary osteoarthritis of the elbow. The outcome was assessed using Disabilities Arm, Shoulder Hand Score (DASH) Mayo Elbow Performance (MEPS) at a mean follow-up 75 months (58 to 132). There were excellent or good results in 17 elbows (85%) DASH score 13 (65%) with MEPS (correlation coefficient 0.79). fixed flexion deformity had improved by 10 degrees range degrees. In 16 (80%) benefits surgery been maintained,...

To discuss the significance of an appropriate leadership theory in order to develop understanding clinical leadership.Leadership theories developed from management and related paradigms, particularly transformational leadership, may be ineffective supporting nurses gain insights into or implement skills. Instead, congruent theory, based on a match between leaders' actions their values beliefs about care nursing, offer more firm theoretical foundation which can build capacity become leaders....

To establish a profile of men in nursing Western Australia and explore the perception from perspective male female nurses.A project team, including some current authors, produced YouTube video DVD about which led to further enquiry on this topic.The study employed non-experimental, comparative, descriptive research design focused quantitative methodology, using an online survey early 2014.A convenience sample incorporated registered enrolled nurses midwives Australia.The range data included...

We review our experience of Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) for fractures the distal humerus in non-rheumatoid patients with a minimum ten years follow-up.TEA through triceps splitting approach was peformed 37 fracture between 1996 and 2004. One patient could not be traced 17 had died before tenth anniversary their surgery. This left 19 follow-up to form study group. Of these, 13 were alive at time final review. The other six died, but after arthroplasty. Their clinical...

Abstract Background Nursing students will graduate into stressful workplace environments and resilience is an essential acquired ability for surviving the workplace. Few studies have explored relationship between degree of innate dispositional mindfulness, compassion, compassion fatigue burnout in nursing students, including those who find themselves position needing to work addition their academic responsibilities. Aim This paper investigates predictors resilience, mindfulness employment...

Fifty nerve root infiltration studies were evaluated prospectively in a consecutive series of 50 patients referred to the Shelfield Problem Back Clinic with complicated back problems. All over 35 years age (mean, 51 years). Ten (20%) demonstrated abnormal segmentation lumbar spine. Sixteen (32%) had undergone previous surgery. Before all investigated by radiculography and computed tomography. Nerve identified two types response. In 20 patients, reproduced symptomatic pain, which then was...

We undertook a prospective, controlled trial which compared two rehabilitation programmes for 86 patients who sustained two-part fractures of the proximal humerus. Patients were randomised either to receive immediate physiotherapy within one week (group A) or delayed after three weeks immobilisation in collar and cuff sling B). At 16 fracture, group A had less pain (p < 0.01) greater shoulder function 0.001) than those B. 52 weeks, differences between groups reduced. Although still pain,...

In a prospective study of 100 knee arthroplasties in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, simultaneous bilateral surgery was compared staged replacements. All had improved function following their operations but those who only achieved maximum benefit after the second been replaced. The complication rate no greater for and we therefore advocate method require
