Fourteen patients with advanced cancer received intermittent subcutaneous injection of morphine using an Edmonton Injector (EI). Twelve patients used the system at home. The minimal dose of morphine was 15 mg every 4 hr and the maximal dose was 90 mg every 4 hr. There were two complications: abscess and bleeding. In developing countries, the safety, low cost, and versatility of the Edmonton Injector offers an important alternative in terminally ill patients. This device is an ideal "injection pump" for use in developing countries, where costs are most important in making treatment decisions.

Anaphylaxis is an acute, potentially fatal systemic hypersensitivity reaction with varied mechanisms and clinical presentations. Although prompt recognition and treatment of anaphylaxis are imperative, both patients and healthcare professionals often fail to recognize and diagnose its early signs. Clinical manifestations vary widely, however, the most common signs are cutaneous symptoms, including urticaria and angioedema.

ConspectusMagnetism is an area of immense fundamental and technological importance. At the atomic level, magnetism originates from electron "spin". The field of nanospintronics (or nanoscale spin-based electronics) aims to control spins in nanoscale systems, which has resulted in astronomical improvement in data storage and magnetic field sensing technologies over the past few decades, recognized by the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Effects of the in ovo administration of vitamin D (D) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) on broiler intestinal lesion incidence, performance and breast meat yield after a coccidiosis challenge were investigated. On each of 10 incubator tray levels, 10 Ross 708 broiler hatching eggs were randomly assigned to each of the following 5 in ovo injection treatments administrated at 18 d of incubation (doi): 1) noninjected; 2) diluent; diluent containing either 3) 2.4 μg D (D), 4) 2.

Effects of the in ovo injection of vitamin D (D) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) on the immunity and small intestine morphology of broilers fed calcium and phosphorus-restricted diets were investigated. At 18 d of incubation (doi), live embryonated Ross 708 broiler hatching eggs were in ovo-injected with a 50 μL solution of one of the following treatments using an Inovoject multiegg injector: 1) diluent (control); diluent containing either 2) 2.4 μg D; 3) 2.
