and articles has appeared on the subject. I personally drew attention to the value of this drug in septic conditions in 1921 (Indian Medical Gazette, October 19, 1921) and have had a long record of success ever since in many other infections. My case of severe pyaemia was mentioned in your issue for April 1922, p. 151. My latest successes with intravenous iodine treatment have been four cases o...

The caudal approach to the epidural space was first reported in 1901. Injection of steroids to treat low back pain was introduced in 1952. Caudal epidural steroid injection is a safe, effective technique when performed with appropriate care under fluoroscopic visualization. Caudal epidural injections are associated with inaccurate needle placement when performed blindly in a substantial number ...

In the past the value of angiocardiography has been limited by the practice of giving only one injection of contrast medium, so that selective angiocardiography tends to be restricted to the end of cardiac catheterization. Moreover, the use of biplane film changers permits only views strictly at right angles to one another. The newer contrast media are tolerated better than those formerly avail...

BACKGROUND Intra-articular glenohumeral (GH) injections are important for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It has been suggested that ultrasound guided injections are more accurate than blind or freehand injections. This study assessed the accuracy of ultrasound-guided GH injections compared with freehand injections in fresh cadavers. METHODS The study used 80 shoulder specimens from fres...

We consider a linear power flow model with interval-bounded nodal injections and limited line flows. determine the minimal number of to control based on set measurements, such that overall system is feasible for all assignments non-controlled injections. For important case where possible measurements are injections, we show problem can be solved efficiently as mixed-integer program (MILP). When...
