Patient preference for intravenous or subcutaneous heparin in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis was assessed in a randomized cross-over study. Twenty patients with venographically proven deep venous thrombosis were randomized to receive subcutaneous or intravenous heparin for 3 days followed by 3 days of the other treatment. Discomfort at the injection site, assessed by visual analogue sc...

UNLABELLED Background. A study was designed to compare the efficacy of anesthesia between transthecal digit block (TDB) and single injection volar subcutaneous block. METHODS A 36-patient, randomized, controlled, prospective investigation was undertaken. The parameters included the onset of time to achieve anesthesia, visual analog scale pain score during the infiltration, and anesthesia ...

the gnrh analogue has been shown to be effective in the treatment of precocious puberty when given as a daily subcutaneous injection. we studied the effectiveness of a long-acting gnrh analogue, triptoreline, for the treatment of central precocity, by suppressing gonadotropin and estradiol secretion in three children with true precocious puberty. one month after single dose intramuscular inject...

Subcutaneous emphysema in the head and neck is a well known clinical condition. It is an uncommon clinical complication of dental treatment caused by forceful injection of air into the loose connective tissue below the dermal layer. The trapped air is often limited by subcutaneous space in the head and neck. This paper presents a clinical case in which subcutaneous emphysema developed immediate...

This study tested the hypothesis that antinociceptive effects of galanin and its receptors in nucleus accumbens (NAc) of rats with inflammatory pain provoked by subcutaneous injection of 0.1 ml of 2% carrageenin into the sole of the rat's left hindpaw. The hindpaw withdrawal latencies (HWLs) in response to thermal and mechanical stimulation significantly decreased in bilateral hindpaws at 3 and...

Accidental injection into the digit from an epinephrine autoinjection device can cause discoloration, pain, and paresthesias. Although loss of digit is rare, treatment in the emergency department is commonly aimed at vasodilation of the affected tissue. We report two cases of accidental injection of epinephrine into the digits that were successfully treated with subcutaneous phentolamine inject...

Objective. It was previously demonstrated that cutaneous vasculitis, including IgA vasculitis and arteritis (CA), is associated with the presence of IgM antibodies (Abs) against phosphatidylserine/prothrombin complex (PS/PT). Recently, novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits for detection IgG anti-PS/PT (aPS/PT) Abs have become commercially available. Methods. The prevalence serum aPS/PT i...

Lovenox is a trade name for Enoxaparin. It is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and has other trade names like Clexane and Xaparin. It is an anticoagulant used to prevent and treat venous thromboembolism events (VTE) like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, and is given as a subcutaneous injection. General speaking, the most common skin reactions as a result of enoxaparin use are: u...

PURPOSE To investigate the subcutaneous injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) on neuropeptides Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) and Substance P (SP) secretion in rat skin. METHODS Fifty-six Wistar-EPM rats were distributed in two groups: one for CGRP analysis, the other for SP analysis. Each group was subdivided into four subgroups: control (Cont), control with needle (ContNd), CO2 injectio...

Inflammation is frequent at the site of injection in turkeys vaccinated with various commercial fowl cholera bacterins. Seven commercial and three laboratory bacterins were compared in 12week-old turkeys as to extent and severity of irritation with 3 routes of injection: subcutaneous, intradermal, and intramuscular. Commercial fowl cholera bacterins, particularly those with paraffin oil as the ...
