Growth hormone treatment without a needle using the Preci-Jet 50 transjector.

چکیده
A new delivery system (Preci-Jet 50) which administers growth hormone through the skin using high pressure and without a needle was evaluated. This device was inconvenient and painful compared with a pen injection system. The conclusion is that the Preci-Jet is not the panacea for solving the problem of compliance with subcutaneous growth hormone injections.

The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic effects of rhGH administered either by subcutaneous needle-injection (pens) or subcutaneous needle-free jet-injection (VISION(®)). Furthermore, a survey was carried out after using VISION(®) for 12 mo. A needle-free injection group consisting of 18 subjects (11 males and 7 females, mean age 5.87 ± 2.05 yr at the start of hGH therapy) who have...
متن کاملMaintaining persistence and adherence with subcutaneous growth-hormone therapy in children: comparing jet-delivery and needle-based devices
PURPOSE Persistence and adherence with subcutaneous growth hormone (GH; somatropin) therapy in children is widely acknowledged to be suboptimal. This study aimed to investigate how the use of a jet-delivery device, ZomaJet(®), impacts on medication-taking behaviors compared to needle-based devices.

متن کاملSteroid hormone receptors, MIB-1, p53, and c-erb-B2 expression on breast cancer: Comparison of immunohistochemistry on cell block and fine needle aspiration and tissue sample, in northwest Iran
Background: Fine-needle aspiration of breast cancer often provides moderate cellular material that is representative of the tumors. These samples can be used not only for cytological diagnosis but also to obtain information on the prognosis and likely response to therapy by using immunohistochemical staining studies. Methods: We assessed the degree of correlation between prognostic biologic ma...
متن کاملNeedle-free delivery of macromolecules across the skin by nanoliter-volume pulsed microjets.
Needle-free liquid jet injectors were invented >50 years ago for the delivery of proteins and vaccines. Despite their long history, needle-free liquid jet injectors are not commonly used as a result of frequent pain and bruising. We hypothesized that pain and bruising originate from the deep penetration of the jets and can potentially be addressed by minimizing the penetration depth of jets int...
