Objective(s): Renography is used for the diagnostic evaluation of pediatric patients with a suspected obstruction of urinary tract or impaired renal function. The recommended dose for children have been released by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine, Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, and Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine. Since acquisition counts in dynamic scintig...

there is no randomized study carried out in order to compare their pharmacokinetic parameters although midazolam, as a sedative, has been widely administered via continuous infusion as well as intermittent bolus doses in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients. we prospectively investigated the effect of these two principal methods on pharmacokinetic parameters in 23 of mentioned patien...

long-term intravenous immunoglobulin (ivig) infusion is an effective treatment for children with humoral immunodeficiencies, already be complicated by systemic ad¬verse effects. in order to determine the adverse effects of intravenous immunoglobulin inpatients with antibody deficiency, 45 immunodeficientpatients receiving intravenous immunoglobulin were studied during a 36-month period at child...

To evaluate the effect of intravenous infusion of a soybean based lipid emulsion (Lipovenoes 10%) on some blood constituents in sheep, a replicated 2 × 2 Latin square design experiment was conducted in four clinically healthy ewes. Lipid emulsion (LE group) or normal saline (NS group) was infused intravenously at a rate of 0.025 mL kg-1 per min for 6 hr and the concentrations of bloo...

conclusions this study indicated that the delivery rate accuracy of elastomeric infusion pumps is preserved after repeated usage. these laboratory findings suggested that elastomeric pumps could be safely refilled in the successive days to provide postoperative analgesia. results the mean flow rate in the three series of measurements showed a gradual increase; however, the difference was not st...

In critically ill infants and children, intravascular (IV) access is sometimes very difficult. In such cases intraosseous (IO) infusion should be used as the method of choice. However, in practice, different problems are experienced with this procedure. To overcome the practical problems and to confirm the efficacy of IO infusion in reversing hypovolemic shock, an animal model was used by ...

background: several studies have shown that administration of magnesium sulfate prolongs the bleeding time.   objective: to investigate such effects in pregnant women in shiraz, southern iran.   methods: this study was conducted on 30 pregnant women aged between 18 and 32 yrs, with a gestational age of 20 to 37 weeks, who presented to hafez and zeynabiyeh emergency units affiliated to shiraz un...

background: target-controlled infusion is a new delivery system for intravenous anesthetic agents with which the anesthetist targets a plasma or effect-site drug concentration to achieve a predetermined effect. with this system, the tedious task of calculating the amount of administered drug required to achieve the target concentration is left in charge of a microprocessor which commands the in...
