Abstract Blood sampling typically involves puncturing a superficial vein with needle and then creating vacuum (e. g., syringe) to transfer the blood from venous system collection container. In some cases, walls collapse due excessive generated. this work, device is presented that prevents can be combined any available on market. The mechanism of preventing based tubular segment interconnected b...

OBJECTIVES The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) tracks the distribution of all harm reduction products subsidized by the BC government, including needles and syringes, sterile water vials, alcohol swabs, condoms, and lubricant. This study measures the distribution of harm reduction products in BC, identifies regional variation in distribution, and estimates the supply/demand ...

Needle exchange programs chase political as well as epidemiological dragons, carrying within them both implicit moral and political goals. In the exchange model of syringe distribution, injection drug users (IDUs) must provide used needles in order to receive new needles. Distribution and retrieval are co-existent in the exchange model. Likewise, limitations on how many needles can be received ...

Microchannel emulsification can produce droplets of uniform size at high throughput for wide-ranging applications in the food and drug industry. Mammalian cell encapsulation using emulsion-based systems is significant interest immobilized culture or transplantation applications. has recently been applied to mammalian alginate. Here, we extend this approach thermoresponsive hydrogels chitosan as...

necessary, simply close the Redon, prick the skin in another site, and reopen the drainage. It will suck the liquid without losing the negative pressure. This simple technique offers many advantages such as the availability of the required materials, lower risk of infection due to absence of material changing, a reduction in the risk of losing seromas (possible during the syringe changes), easi...

Sir,?With reference to the query on p. 297 of your May issue, the method used by me for sterilizing syringes Js described below:? I carry a few " Soloid " examethylenetetrainine (B. W. & Co.) and a spoon in my injection outfit. The needle !s boiled in the spoon over the burning soloid which gives out a good heat. The boiling water is also drawn into the syringe several times. I have given a goo...

A SIMPLE method for the estimation of carbon dioxide in air or gas mixtures containing anaesthetic gases finds many applications in the investigation of anaesthetic problems and in the control of artificial respiration by mechanical respirators. This adaptation of already established techniques utilizes apparatus which may be found in most hospitals. It is rapid, and can be performed at the bed...

OBJECTIVE In the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals, staff receive considerable radiation exposure to the hands during withdrawal of activity from the elution vial, from a combination of the syringe and elution vial activities. In an attempt to reduce the radiation burden to the hands, a simple technique was developed that utilizes a modified lead pot lid and a syringe bearing a long needle wi...

BACKGROUND Needle-syringe programs (NSP) have been running in Iran since 2002. However, the coverage of such program among the NSP clients at the individual level was not studies yet. This study aimed to determine the client coverage of NSP and its correlation with high injection-related risk behaviors. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Kermanshah province, Iran, in 2014. 230 ...

Pre-fillable syringes are both pharmaceutical primary packaging and drug delivery devices. End users, drug administration agencies and the pharmaceutical industry are imposing increasingly stringent quality requirements on pre-fillable syringes in both these functions. Optimised production and inspection processes ensure that the syringes can meet these requirements. Although siliconisation is ...
