DESCRIPTION Intravenous solutions with heparin sodium (derived from porcine intestinal mucosa) are sterile, nonpyrogenic fluids for intravenous administration. Each 100 mL contains heparin sodium 4,000, 5,000 or 10,000 USP Heparin Units; dextrose, hydrous 5 g; citric acid, anhydrous, 51 mg and sodium citrate, dihydrate 334 mg added as buffers; sodium metabisulfite 20 mg added as an antioxidant....

DESCRIPTION Intravenous solutions with heparin sodium (derived from porcine intestinal mucosa) are sterile, nonpyrogenic fluids for intravenous administration. Each 100 mL contains heparin sodium 200 USP Heparin Units; sodium chloride, 0.9 g; citric acid, monohydrate, 40 mg and dibasic sodium phosphate, heptahydrate, 434 mg added as buffers. Each liter contains the following electrolytes: Sodiu...

BACKGROUND The 2013-15 Ebola outbreak was unprecedented due to sustained transmission within urban environments and thousands of survivors. In 2014 the World Health Organization stated that there was insufficient evidence to give definitive guidance about which body fluids are infectious and when they pose a risk to humans. We report a rapid systematic review of published evidence on the presen...

Sterile abscess, pleuritis, and pancreatitis give a clinical reaction in the experimental animal very like the same acute inflammatory processes due to bacterial activity, provided the bacterial agents are limited to the initial location. The curve of urinary nitrogen excretion in the fasting dog shows the same precipitous and sustained rise in sterile and bacterial inflammatory reactions. This...

Importance and challenges of identifying body fluids in forensic casework In forensic casework, correctly identifying body fluids such as blood, semen, or saliva is important for reconstructing a crime scene. Analysis of stains or biological fluids recovered during an investigation may provide potential sources of DNA that can be used to identify the donor of the fluid or stain [1]. However, bo...

The sterile sponges may lose a significant amount of lint during their routine use in surgery, which is usually neglected. We designed an experimental model to evaluate the potential of sterile sponges to lose lint and to induce foreign body reaction in surgically created wounds. In 15 Wistar rats, separate subcutaneous pockets were created. Left-sided pockets were temporarily packed with steri...
