Humeral shaft fractures: epidemiology, outcomes and predictors of nonunion
… discussions regarding the optimal treatment. Nonunion complicates 15-20% of non-operatively managed fractures, and methods for the early identification of patients at increased risk would help mitigate the morbidity associated with this complication. The aims of this thesis were to investigate …

Tibiotalar arthrodesis: development of a novel jig and alignment guide
… for reoperation in tibiotalar arthrodesis are nonunion and infection; few studies have established any associations between patient/surgical factors and reoperation for nonunion and infection. The first part of this thesis focuses on determining the rate of reoperation to the ipsilateral lower …

Terapia celular na pseudo-artrose
… using the Sepax® equipment. Seven patients with nonunion of the tibia or femur were treated. Five received a percutaneous infusion of autologous bone marrow aspirated from the iliac crest, and two received autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells separated from the aspirate by Sepax®. The primary …

Stimulation of bone healing in new fractures of the tibial shaft using interferential currents
… for fractures of the tibia and thereby prevent nonunion and secondly to develop a model which could predict nonunion, given the subject characteristics such as race, mechanism of injury, severity of fracture etc. Subjects, males only between the ages of 12 and 86, who had sustained fractures of …

A study of grievance procedure dimensionality in a non-union setting
The purpose of this study was to analyze a nonunion grievance procedure and its relationship to employee attitudes toward their jobs and toward unionization. The analysis had three main focuses of concern. First, an investigation was made of the underlying dimensions of grievance procedures. …

The Impact of College and University Faculty Collective Bargaining on State Appropriations to Public Higher Education
… tails off until there is no difference from nonunion counterparts. Conversely, nonunion faculties at two-year institutions experience greater compensation increases compared to union faculties. Few studies have investigated faculty unionization and institutional income in general or state …

The use of environmental factors to differentiate public two-year colleges on the basis of collective-bargaining status and bargaining-agent affiliation
… analysis was performed twice: once with nonunion colleges selected from all states, and once with nonunion colleges restricted to unionized states. Each null hypothesis was rejected at a level of significance of 0.05 of less. Although each analysis produced its own linear combination of …

Economic regulation, work relations, and accident rates in the United States motor carrier industry
… passage. However, the regression analysis for nonunion firms produced unexpected results. Nonunion fums exhibited a weaker relationship between fum economic well-being and preventable accident rates in the post-deregulatory model than was the case in the pre-deregulatory model. Possible …

Relationship Between Trust and Perceived Value of Faculty Unionization Among Full-Time Faculty in Selected Michigan Community Colleges
… on the relationship between the union and nonunion faculty and trust. Studies have shown that the union environment inherently produces a distrustful atmosphere and, with a union, employees are actually more dissatisfied than their nonunion counterparts. On the other hand, this has created …

Characterization and Assessment of Lung and Bone Marrow Derived Endothelial Cells and their Bone Regenerative Potential
… to treat. One of the main causations of nonunion is a lack of essential blood supply. The needed blood is supplied by the growth of new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis, that invade the damaged tissue early in the healing process. We proposed using bone tissue engineering as …

An analysis of union-avoidance techniques and NLRB election outcomes
… by a union. The interest in preserving nonunion status has lead to the development of many diverse means of deterring unionization. These techniques are primarily provided by academicians who usually engage in empirical research, and by labor practitioners who base their writing on …

Application of a Periosteum-bone Allograft for Healing of Segmental Bone Defects
… healing because of a persistent gap or nonunion between the graft and the original bone.[2] Under such circumstances, the Landis Laboratory is now trying to use periosteum as a `tissue bridge’ to create a viable junction or union between an allograft and the host bone. It has been …

Treatment of enchondroma of hand using calcium sulfate and autobone grafting
… found no complications, such as delayed union, nonunion, infection, or tumor recurrence in both groups. CONCLUSION: The use of injectable calcium sulfate avoids donor-site morbidity of the auto-bone grafting has no difference in result comparing with autograft. It appears as a safe and effective …

Enhancing bone healing through concurrent anabolic- and anti-catabolic pharmacological treatment
… fractures heal uneventfully but some evolve into nonunions. Autologous bone graft is the gold standard for stimulating healing. However, donor site morbidity, and limited graft supply make alternatives interesting. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, BMPs, are growth factors involved in bone signaling. …
