Abstract:

Purpose: During 2016 and 2017, numerous retina specialists reported silicone oil droplets after intravitreal injection, primarily associated with insulin syringes with a fixed needle. By contrast, adverse events were relatively rare for tuberculin syringes. We hypothesized that fixed-needle syringe injections have more silicone droplets due to the lack of dead space at the syringe–needle junction. Methods: Fluid from Becton Dickenson (BD) insulin syringes, BD tuberculin syringes, Henke Sass Wolf (HSW) insulin syringes, and HSW silicone-free syringes was examined microscopically for silicone oi

Introduction: High intensity transient signals (HITS) have been reported to occur following perfusionist intervention during cardiac surgery. This study investigates the relationship of the syringe bore, injection rate, and HITS created. Methods: Syringes (10 mL) with a male luer-lock connection (Large Bore) and Abboject ‘jet syringes’ with a 20 GA needle and male luer-lock connector (Small Bore) were filled with 10 mL of 0.9 N saline. A perfusionist was randomly assigned a set of four similar syringes followed by the other syringe bore. Each of the four syringes was injected into an in vitro

Abstract:

The longevity of foam made using sodium tetradecyl sulphate and gas (air or a CO2:O2 mixture) is increased significantly if silicone-free syringes are used over the normal syringes containing silicone oil lubrication. However, the plungers in silicone-free syringes start sticking after several passages when making foam for sclerotherapy, preventing the smooth injection of the resulting foam. We describe a three syringe technique which allows foam to be made using the Tessari Tourbillon ‘three-way stopcock’ principle between two syringes, but with the foam ending up in a third syringe which has

Abstract:

Background: Syringes are critical medical devices whose mechanical integrity is essential to ensure safety during injections. The cylinder volume can influence their mechanical performance. Objective: This study investigates how cylinder volume affects the mechanical integrity of syringes by analyzing von Mises stress, buckling risk, and overall safety during injection. Materials and Methods: Autodesk Inventor 2021 and Ansys 2019 R2 were used to analyze syringes with volumes of 1 ml, 3 ml, 5 ml, and 10 ml. Von Mises stress and buckling susceptibility were evaluated during simulated injections.

Abstract:

Effective January 1, 2001, New York State enacted the Expanded Syringe Access Demonstration Program (ESAP), allowing syringes to be sold in pharmacies without a prescription or dispensed through doctors, hospitals, and clinics to adults. A concern in the assessment of ESAP is its effects on syringe disposal practices. Syringe use data regarding the last injection episode were combined from three projects ( N = 1,030) recruiting injection drug users. Disposal of syringes by methods known to be safe decreased significantly over time after the implementation of ESAP. Syringes obtained either from

Abstract:

AbstractClostridium botulinum toxin (BT) must be administered intramuscularly with a syringe, but dead space in the syringe–needle complex may cause product waste and result in cost implications for the patient and provider. Syringe dead space is the volume of residual fluid that remains within the syringe after the plunger is fully depressed during medication injection. We calculated the average volume of remaining product in a syringe–needle complex and cost loss implication of this volume of BT. This is a single-center, analytical study using saline and four different sized needles for anal

Abstract:

The ongoing hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemic in the United States disproportionately affects rural people who inject drugs (PWID). This study explores the HCV risk environment in rural northern New England by examining PWID experiences and perceptions of HCV and injection equipment-sharing practices. We performed a thematic analysis on semi-structured interviews conducted with 21 adults with a history of injection drug use from rural New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts between April 2018 and August 2019. Salient themes included: (1) limited and varied access to sterile syringe sources; (

Abstract:

This paper contains a description of tests including the simulation of the injection moulding of thin-walled products. The simulation was designed to analyse the potential impact of processing conditions and cooling conditions on the defects of thin-walled products of the body of the syringe. In order to obtain the correct results, the analysis was based on a simulation comparison with the data obtained after the injection mouldings were produced. Four cases were considered - parameters with reduced injection pressure and absence of pressure push, with a reduced temperature of the injection mo

Background and Objectives: Currently, one of the most discouraging aspects for many patients undergoing dental procedures is the administration of anaesthesia. Consequently, there is a constant search for new techniques to avoid the invasive and painful nature of the injection. A new motorised syringe system (Dentapen®) has recently been developed, standing out for its convenience and ease of use. Material and Methods: Randomised, controlled, single-blind, and single-centre study including 178 voluntary adult participants aged between 18 and 90 years.

Endophthalmitis cases following IVI between 3/1/2015 and 10/31/2022 at a single institution were reviewed. Three different periods of masking protocols were evaluated: no masking (5.1 years), universal masking (2.2 years), physician masking with optional patient masking (0.5 years). A total of 63 cases of endophthalmitis occurred following 248,879 IVI’s (92,463 bevacizumab, 12,395 ranibizumab, 144,021 aflibercept),

Three patterns were identified: IDUs who stockpile supplies to meet their own needs and to provide secondary distribution to friends and drug-using associates; IDUs who keep a several-days supply of syringes available, primarily for their own use; and IDUs who usually obtain equipment at the time of obtaining drugs, in some cases unsterile equipment from other injec

Abstract Background and aims: It is a basic rule to aspirate before injection when giving an inferior alveolar nerve block because the local anaesthetic may fail if the injection is given into a blood vessel, and the local anaesthetic solution may have undesirable systemic effects. There are reports that indicate aspiration is not performed in every injection. The aim of the present study was to assess the incidence of intravascular needle entrance in inferior alveolar nerve block injections.
