The high stiffness of intravenous needles can cause tissue injury and increase the risk of transmission of blood-borne pathogens through accidental needlesticks. Here we describe the development and performance of an intravenous needle whose stiffness an
In both trials, participants were recruited from laboratories using the hot needle test as part of their protocols who had been trained in microplastic identification and comfortable with optical microscopy techniques. In HNT 1, participants (N = 8) conducted the test in one of two ...
While effective and very beneficial for patients, such needle ablation and treatment protocols face several challenges. First, initial deployment of the needle can be difficult, particularly for physicians who have less experience. While the physician can view the tissue and target anatomy in real tim...
After that, two experimental protocols were performed: (i) the direct injection of PBS into the acupuncture point for providing the electrolyte and (ii) the direct injection of 10 μM 5-HT into the acu- puncture point, in order to mimic an endogenous release of 5-HT. All experimental ...

According to the complications of sharp tools, reduction of sharp components requires regular training courses for staff, proportion of the number of work shifts, strict implementation of treatment protocols, modification of the current inaccuracy procedures, access to adequate equipments and safe and an...
This has required the development of protocols to sort viable CTC starting from large blood volumes (being CTC extremely rare), as well as the optimization of long-term culture protocols and of patient-derived xenografts [65]. In 2013, Marchetti's group established long-term primary cultures of...
