Background: We performed ultrasonographic examinations of the ipsilateral internal jugular vein after placement peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and found that more than half malpositions PICC went to head through vein. aimed reduce PICCs in settings where fluoroscopy is not available.

Objectives: This study describes our experience using PICC in patients submitted to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) regarding the time of use, withdrawal reasons, and complications.
 Methods: A retrospective cohort 143 from 2017 2019, with a inserted before ASCT. 
 Results: Regarding baseline disease, 104 (73%) had multiple myeloma. The median days use was 15 (1 – 37) per cathe...

A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is widely used in transfusion therapy and for monitoring many kinds of diseases, especially in critically ill patients. Compared with other catheters, it has a lower risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections. Aeromonas Hydrophila (AH) is a kind of opportunistic pathogen, vibrionaceae aeromonas, and gramnegative brevibacterium, widely distrib...

We report two unusual cases of septic sacroiliitis resulting from intravenous Subutex abuse that initially masqueraded as low back pain. Both patients, a 48-year-old Malay man and a 30-year-old Malay woman, presented with chills, rigor and progressive lower back pain, and eventually experienced difficulty in ambulating. The Malay woman also developed severe pain in her left elbow, with swelling...

Crack closure is a phenomenon which slows down fatigue crack propagation and leads to higher residual life of components change in the front curvature. Because significant impact on growth rate, scientific engineering community has been trying describe this very precisely. One most frequently described mechanisms plasticity-induced (PICC) dominant Paris regime. In presented work, CT specimen mo...

C A S E A 31 and 1/7–week gestation premature male infant with a birth weight of 1730 g developed sudden onset of desaturations (oxygen saturation 30%), bradycardia (heart rate 40/min) and hypotension (mean blood pressure,15 mm Hg) at 6 days of age. He was born by a cesarean delivery for maternal preeclampsia, received nasal continuous positive airway pressure for 3 days after birth, and was in...

When planning parenteral nutrition (PN), the proper choice, insertion, and nursing of the venous access are of paramount importance. In hospitalized patients, PN can be delivered through short-term, non-tunneled central venous catheters, through peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC), or - for limited period of time and with limitation in the osmolarity and composition of the solution -...
