background: pain originating from intramuscular (im) injection should not be underestimated, because it can damage the nurse–patient relationship. this research aimed at answering two main questions, whether acupressure is effective on pain severity dueto im injection or not and whether pain severity in two groups is different or not. materials and methods: this research was performed in govern...

abscess formation following intramuscular injections is rare and they are most commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals. in this case series we present a cohort of three patients presented to us in a critically ill condition with an abscess due to intramuscular injection. vancomycin resistant staphylococcus aureus was isolated from all three patients. these patients posed a major challeng...

pain in neonates can be associated with various risks and it seems essential to find a simple and acceptable method for relieving pain. pharmacologic agents are not recommended in neonates for pain relief in minor procedures but orally administered glucose solution is found to be effective. the objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of oral 30% glucose during intramuscular injection...

background: dna immunization with plasmid dna encoding bacterial, viral, parasitic, and tumor antigens has been reported to trigger protective immunity. the use of plasmid dna vaccinations against many diseases has produced promising results in animal and human clinical trials; however, safety concerns about the use of dna vaccines exist, such as the possibility of integration into the host gen...

background and aim: the third stage of labour is one of the most troublesome stages of child delivery. the basic principle of the third stage management is administrating prophylactic uterotonics. however, the time of its administration varies in different hospitals. this study aimed to determine the effect of intramuscular oxytocin injection after emergence of the fetal anterior shoulder or pl...

a 3-year-old boy was admitted to the emergency department with right lower limb pain, edema, and livedoid discoloration that occurred immediately after intramuscular injection of benzathine penicillin. the patient was diagnosed with nicolau syndrome, a rare complication of intramuscular injection presumed to be related to the inadvertent intravascular injection. it was first reported following ...

Nicolausyndrome or embolia cutis medicamentosa is a rare complication of intramuscular injection of some drugs. This syndrome has been reported after injection of NSAIDS, corticosteroids and antibiotics.Here we report a 16-year-old boy who developed this syndrome after intramuscular injection of benzathine penicillin.

Background: Musculoskeletal pain is a major clinical problem, but researchers lack viable animal models to study this phenomenon. However, formalin injections are widely used to produce tonic and neurogenic nociceptive responses in rodents. Rodents can present a potential animal model for pain. Objectives: To develop a muscle pain model with intramuscular injection of formalin in rats. Ma...
