Purpose: To characterize the resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to second line drugs using a line probe assay. Methods: Multi-drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated between December 2008 and December 2009 were tested for resistance to fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable drugs using GenoType MTBDRsl. Results: Thirty eight strains gave interpretable results. N...

Many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in camelid practice can be accomplished with physical and/or chemical restraint techniques. Anesthesia should be considered for procedures that require an extended period of immobility or high level of analgesia. Certain aspects of anesthesia place the patient at greater risk than chemical restraint techniques. Knowledge and vigilance reduce the additi...

STUDY DESIGN This study was designed to determine whether Augment Bone Graft (Augment, Biomimetic Therapeutics, Inc., Franklin, TN) and Augment Injectable Bone Graft (Augment Injectable, Biomimetic Therapeutics, Inc., Franklin, TN), 2 combination devices comprising recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB and β-tricalcium phosphate-containing matrices, promote bone bridging in an ovi...

OBJECTIVE The CHanges to treatment and Outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes initiating InjeCtablE therapy (CHOICE) study assessed time to, and reasons for, significant treatment change after patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) initiated their first injectable glucose-lowering therapy (exenatide twice daily [BID] or insulin) in routine clinical practice, and these patients' clinical outcom...

OBJECTIVE As the multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying drug (DMD) treatment options have expanded to include oral therapies, it is important to understand whether route of administration is associated with DMD adherence. The objective of this study was to compare adherence to DMDs in patients with MS newly initiating treatment with a self-injectable versus an oral DMD. METHODS This retros...

BACKGROUND The contraceptive injectable is a safe and effective method that is used worldwide. With the variety of injectable delivery systems, there is potential for administration by the woman herself. Self-administration of the contraceptive injectable is the subject of this systematic review. OBJECTIVES To assess how effective and safe the contraceptive injectable method is when women the...

In sheep, embryonic and fetal death during pregnancy can account for 25% to 50% of the total number of corpora lutea (and thus potential embryos). The objective of this study was to determine the effects of injectable and oral Arg supplementation provided for 14 d postbreeding on the reproductive performance of naturally stimulated fall lambing ewes. Rambouillet ewes ( = 210) were exposed to ra...

Subjects were patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder enrolled in extension studies (Study A and Study B) after participating in 12-week studies of long-acting injectable risperidone [Kane, J.M., Eerdekens, M., Lindenmayer, J.-P., Keith, S.J., Lesem, M., Karcher, K., 2003. Long-acting injectable risperidone: efficacy and safety of the first long-acting atypical antipsychotic. Am...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) is a rare but potentially devastating complication of modern cataract surgery. We examine whether the use of injectable intraocular lenses (IOLs) is associated with a lower rate of POE after cataract surgery compared with forceps-inserted foldable IOLs. METHODS A single-centre retrospective cohort study of 25 410 cataract operations was perf...
