Clinical practice recommendations for nurse-administered intramuscular injections in mental health: A modified Delphi study.

Aim: To develop clinical practice recommendations for nurse-administered intramuscular injections in mental health.

Background: Intramuscular injection is the main route of long-acting injectable antipsychotics' administration that appear to improve the long-term prognosis of mental illness. Specific guidelines related to the nurse administration of intramuscular injections need to be updated and to explore not only the technical aspects of this procedure.

Nurses' practices in the preparation and administration of intramuscular injections in mental health: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Intramuscular injections (IMIs) remain a frequent practice in mental health. Few studies have examined the issue of nurses' practices concerning IMI in this domain, and none considered specifically hygiene. Finally, no study appears to have looked at emergency situations and their possible influence on practices.

Isolation and characterization of the first eight microsatellite loci in Gammarus fossarum (Crustacea, Amphipoda) and cross-amplification in Gammarus pulex and Gammarus orinos.

We characterized the first microsatellite markers for Gammarus fossarum. Eight loci gave satisfactory amplification patterns in two stream populations (Southern France) with number of alleles ranging from 2 to 10 and expected heterozygosity from 0.076 to 0.
