863 Dear Editor: Insulin-requiring diabetes, whether resulting from type 1 or from progression of type 2 disease, requires strict attention to glycemic control in order to reduce the incidence of microand macrovascular complications. To approach the goal of euglycemia, individualized patient treatment may demand an intensive regimen, which can negatively impact patient compliance due to the “fe...

OBJECTIVE To estimate access, activity and coverage of needle and syringe programmes (NSP) in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. METHODS Two data sets ('regional' and 'high-coverage sites') were used to estimate NSP provision (availability/number of sites), NSP utilization (syringes distributed/year), needle and syringe distribution (needles/syringes distributed/IDU/year), IDU reach...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There are different ultrasound probe positions used for internal jugular venous catheter placement. Also, in-plane or out of plane needle approach may be used for catheterization. Transverse short-axis classic approach is the most popular performed approach in literature. "Syringe-Free" is a new described technique that is performed with oblique long-axis approach. We ...

Introduction. This experimental study is to compare radiographs based on the penetration depth of the irrigant following three final irrigation techniques. Material and Method. A sample of sixty teeth with single roots were prepared with stainless steel K files followed by mechanized Ni-Ti files iRace® under irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. Radiopaque solution was utilized to measure t...

Figure 4 4) Constant force on the plunger that automatically depresses when the epidural needle enters the epidural space eliminates the subjective “feel” required with standard LOR syringes. 5) Air Vs Saline: As no subjective feel is required, technically saline is as good as air. Thus by avoiding air complications related to it like, patchy block, risk of venous air embolism can be avoided. 6...

Sin Nombre virus (SNV) and Andes virus (ANDV) cause most of the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) cases in North and South America, respectively. The chances of a patient surviving HPS are only two in three. Previously, we demonstrated that SNV and ANDV DNA vaccines encoding the virus envelope glycoproteins elicit high-titer neutralizing antibodies in laboratory animals, and (for ANDV) in non...

This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in evaluation neoplastic cutaneous nodular skin lesions and provide insights from a tertiary care institute. A total 150 patients with were included study, FNAC was performed using 23-gauge needle attached 10-ml syringe. The found that is valuable tool for lesions. It had sensitivity 88% specificity 10...
