Pharmaceutical Risks of Injection Therapy: The Role of a Nurse
Nurse-administered injections come with a special set of risks, including such pharmaceutical factors as preparation of medicinal products in a vial prior to administration, conditions of their further storage, labelling of packages, and the need for ...

Comparative evaluation of two different doses of intravenous dexmedetomidine infusion for sedation in patients undergoing lower abdominal general surgical procedures under spinal anesthesia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Spinal anesthesia is the most popular regional anesthesia technique for lower abdominal surgeries. The failure of many spinal anesthesia techniques is more due to inadequate sedation and anxiolysis than technically faulty blocks.

Flow-driven collapse of lubricant-infused surfaces [PDF]
Lubricant-infused surfaces in an outer liquid flow generally reduce viscous drag. However, owing to the meniscus deformation, the infused state could collapse. Here we discuss the transition between infused and collapsed states of transverse shallow grooves, considering the capillary number, liquid/lubricant viscosity ratio and aspect ratio of the ...

Deep Learning-Based Computer Vision for Real Time Intravenous Drip Infusion Monitoring [PDF]
This paper explores the use of deep learning-based computer vision for real-time monitoring of the flow in intravenous (IV) infusions. IV infusions are among the most common therapies in hospitalized patients and, given that both over-infusion and under-infusion can cause severe damages, monitoring the flow rate of the fluid being administered to ...

Enhancing condensation on soft substrates through bulk lubricant infusion [PDF]
Soft substrates such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) enhance droplet nucleation during the condensation of water vapour, because their deformability inherently reduces the energetic threshold for heterogeneous nucleation relative to rigid substrates.

Antioxidant properties of infusions from leaves of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) depending on temperature and brewing time [PDF]
Antioxidant activity of water infusions made from leaves of five sweet potato cultivars (Carmen Rubin, Georgia Jet, Beauguard, White Triumph and Satsumo Imo), originating from a field cultivation on brown and acidic soil (49°49'N 21°50'E) was determined ...

Establishing a community infusion service in Canterbury, New Zealand: strategies and lessons [PDF]
Background and context An increasing number of drugs and blood products need to be delivered by intravenous infusion. In the Canterbury region of New Zealand, these have historically been delivered at a hospital site; however, some infusions could be ...

Strategies to mitigate bias from time recording errors in pharmacokinetic studies [PDF]
Opportunistic pharmacokinetic (PK) studies have sparse and imbalanced clinical measurement data, and the impact of sample time errors is an important concern when seeking accurate estimates of treatment response. We evaluated an approximate Bayesian model for individualized pharmacokinetics in the presence of time recording errors (TREs), considering ...
