Arterial line insertion

Insertion of umbilical arterial and venous catheters.

Equipment Required Sterile prepackaged UAC and UVC sets are available in most units and contain most equipment required. This includes: dressing drapes, measuring tape, forceps, scalpel, dilator, suture scissors, three-way taps, syringes, needles. In addition, umbilical cord tape, suture material and antiseptic solution. Heparinised solution is needed for UAC flush. Full sterile scrub and gown ...

LINE-1 insertion dimorphisms identification by PCR.

Differentiating between recent LINE-1 (L1) insertion dimorphisms (LIDs) is predominantly useful for studying not only the transposition mechanism but also population genetics or evolution based on polymorphic markers where the ancestral state is known (i.e., absence of the insertion) (1–5). Previous techniques such as L1 display (1) or ATLAS (2) have identified new LIDs from distinct population...

Cell line fingerprinting using retroelement insertion polymorphism.

Human cell lines are an indispensable tool for functional studies of living entities in their numerous manifestations starting with integral complex systems such as signal pathways and networks, regulation of gene ensembles, epigenetic factors, and finishing with pathological changes and impact of artificially introduced elements, such as various transgenes, on the behavior of the cell. Therefo...

Proper Angle of Sono-guided Central Venous Line Insertion

INTRODUCTION Determining the proper angle for inserting central venous catheter (CV line) is of great importance for decreasing the complications and increasing success rate. The present study was designed to determine the proper angle of needle insertion for internal jugular vein catheterization. METHODS In the present case series study, candidate patients for catheterization of the right in...
