The effect of intramuscular injection technique on injection associated pain; a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To review the effect of different intramuscular injection (IMI) techniques on injection associated pain, in adults.

Methods: The review protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42019136097). MEDLINE, EMBASE, British Nursing Index and CINAHL were searched up to June 2020.

Adverse effects of a single dose of gentamicin in adults: a systematic review.

Aims: To systematically review the frequency and type of adverse events associated with a single dose of intravenous or intramuscular gentamicin in adults, for any indication, in studies where a comparator was available.

Methods: A review protocol was developed and registered (PROSPERO: CRD42013003229). Studies were eligible for review if they: recruited participants aged ≥16 years; used gentamicin intramuscularly or intravenously as a single one-off dose; compared gentamicin to another medication or placebo; and monitored adverse events.

Validation of bioelectrical impedance analysis in adolescents across different ethnic groups.

Adolescent obesity is difficult to assess in multi-ethnic populations using BMI, due to variability in the BMI-fatness relationship. We aimed to describe body composition (BC), and to validate leg-leg bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), in adolescents from different ethnic groups using deuterium (D(2)O) as the reference method. Measurements were made of weight, height, total body water (TBW), and BIA (TANITA TBF-300) in 110 white, 170 Asian, and 102 black adolescents aged 11-15 years.
