Compression plating versus intramedullary nailing of humeral shaft fractures—a meta-analysis
Acta orthopaedica, 2006Co-Authors: Mohit Bhandari, P J Devereaux, Michael D. Mckee, Emil H. SchemitschAbstract:Background The choice of plates or intramedullary nails for operatively treated humeral shaft fractures remains controversial, since randomized controlled trials have lacked sufficient power. A meta-analysis of existing trials would improve inferences regarding the treatment effect.Methods We reviewed randomized trials in Medline, Cochrane and SciSearch, along with other sources of published randomized trials from 1969–2000. Of 215 citations identified, only 3 studies were included.Results The 3 studies (involving 155 patients) were pooled, since they were homogeneous (p > 0.1). Plate fixation gave a lower relative risk of reoperation than intramedullary nailing (RR = 0.26, 95% CI 0.007–0.9, p = 0.03). This translated to a risk reduction of 74% for reoperation when plate fixation was employed. Thus, 1 reoperation could be prevented for every 10 patients treated with plates. Plate fixation also reduced the risk of shoulder problems in comparison to intramedullary nails (RR = 0.10, 95% CI 0.03–0.4, p = 0.00...

Review: Unreamed Intramedullary Nailing Reduces Reoperation Rates More Than External Fixation in Open Tibial Fracture
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2001Co-Authors: Mohit Bhandari, G. H. Guyatt, Marc F. Swiontkowski, Emil H. SchemitschAbstract:Question: In patients with open tibial shaft fractures, what is the effectiveness of external fixation, plating, and reamed or unreamed intramedullary nailing on rates of reoperation, nonunion, and infection? Data sources: Studies were identified by searching Medline (1969 to 1998), SciSearch, and the Cochrane Library; by hand-searching major orthopaedic journals and proceedings; and by contacting experts in the field. Study selection: Randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials (RCTs or QRTs) comparing external …

searching for information on toxicological data of chemical substances in selected bibliographic databases selection of essential databases for toxicological researches
Chemosphere, 1996Co-Authors: H Ludl, K Schope, I MangelsdorfAbstract:By using information from printed and online database guides, 18 online bibliographic databases (BD), which cover literature on toxicology were selected from 5 hosts. A search for literature containing information on three selected chemicals was carried out with each of the databases, and the number of documents relevant to toxicology found in them was compared by computer-assisted analysis. Some databases yielded very little information pertinent to toxicology, while others provided a considerable amount. In addition, the databases contained numerous duplicates (references common to more than one database). Most of the relevant documents could be obtained using only 8 of the 18 BDs selected. These databases are: Biosis Previews (BIOSIS), Chemical Abstracts (CA), Chemical Safety Newsbase (CSNB), Excerpta Medica (EMBASE), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), SciSearch, Toxicology Information Online (TOXLINE) and the former Toxicology Literature (TOXLIT).

Natural Resources Research Publications on Resourcing Future Generations, and Introduction of Papers in this Special Issue
Natural Resources Research, 2018Co-Authors: Emmanuel John M. CarranzaAbstract:The Journal of Natural Resources Research (NRR) has, since its foundation in 1992, published and continues to publish peer-reviewed articles that make significant impact on resourcing future generations. This is in keeping with its aims and scope of publishing articles on quantitative analyses of natural (mainly but not limited to mineral) resources with regard to exploration, evaluation and exploitation, as well as environmental and risk-related aspects. However, the new papers introduced in this special issue of NRR are mostly qualitative studies with implications for policy decision-making relevant to the issue of resourcing future generations. These new papers and the recent inclusion of NRR for coverage in the Science Citation Index Expanded™ (or SciSearch^®) and Journal Citation Reports^® (JCR) Science Edition will make NRR more attractive to researchers in the fields that are relevant to the issue of resourcing future generations, both as a source of knowledge as well as a medium for publication of research results.
