Injection sclerotherapy has a prominent role in the treatment of bleeding hemorrhoids. The commonly used sclerosants are not available or very expensive in Nigeria. We prospectively evaluated 50% dextrose water, used as a nonallergenic sclerosant, in the treatment of bleeding internal hemorrhoids. Forty consenting adult patients (median age 50 years [range 35-67]; 22 women) with bleeding hemorr...

I performed a transperineal intraprostatic injection of botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) with a dosage of 1000 units of DysportTM/ Ipsen diluted in 0.5% adrenaline solution of water for injection, in a single injection directly between the two apparent hypoechoic areas under transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance, in a total volume of 7 cm3, in order to relieve his ongoing prostatic obstruction. (...

the effect of in ovo injection of olive leaf extract as a growth promoter antibiotic was studied on hatchability, day old chick weight, growth rate, feed conversion ratio, mortality and carcass efficiency. three hundred and twenty eggs were divided into 4 groups, and injected on day 18. treatments consisted of: 1- control (no injection). 2- injection of 1 ml of distilled water in air sac (dw), ...

Purpose. Injecting triamcinolone acetonide (TA) into a keloid is physically challenging due to the density of keloids. The purpose was to investigate the effects of various syringe and needle combinations on the injection force to determine the most ergonomic combination. Materials and Methods. A load cell was used to generate and measure the injection force. Phase 1: the injection force of 5 c...

Cartilage conduction (CC) is a new form of sound transmission which is induced by a transducer being placed on the aural cartilage. Although the conventional forms of sound transmission to the cochlea are classified into air or bone conduction (AC or BC), previous study demonstrates that CC is not classified into AC or BC (Laryngoscope 124: 1214-1219). Next interesting issue is whether CC is a ...

The role of histamine in the regulation of food and water intake in mammals and birds of the review, this study evaluated the effects of intraperitoneal administration of famotidine as histamine H2 -receptor antagonist, in broiler chicks on feed intake and satiety in water and was hungry. 32 male Ross broiler chicks reared in groups of four weeks, 16 samples (control and test ) were then inject...

An automated flow injection system for the determination of dissolved silver at ultratrace concentrations in seawater, and controlled under LabVIEW, is described. The flow injection system allows online processing of seawater samples before their analysis using a magnetic sector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MS-ICP-MS) instrument. Samples were analysed with a minimum amount of m...
