The article presents immunological data substantiating the combined immunization of humans with the mixture of choleragen toxoid and chemical adsorbed typhoid vaccine, introduced subcutaneously by means of a jet injector.
A good survival of brucellae in the organism with the development of a stable and prolonged immunity was noted in vaccination of guinea pigs with live brucella vaccine prepared from the Br. abortus strain 19-BA. Local reactions were weak, and no general reactions were observed. In using the jet method of vaccination with the injectors bpi-4 and bi-2 on a limited group of persons (194) the local and general untoward response was weak, but in immunological respect this method proved to be effective when the vaccine was administered in a dose of 2.5 x 10(8) of microbial cells. Jet method can be recommended for express vaccination against brucellosis.
The article presents materials on experiments substantiating the method for the subcutaneous administration of chemical adsorbed typhoid vaccine by means of a jet-injector and the possibility of using this preparation in combination with cholerogen toxoid.
Heparin was administered subcutaneously by a jet injector and a disposable syringe in a cross-over trial of ten subjects. Thrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and factor Xa activity were measured. Complete absorption of heparin was demonstrated after injector administration. It saved time and effort. Use of a jet injector for the subcutaneous administration of low heparin doses is thus a sensible and safe alternative in the prevention of thrombo-embolism.
The article presents the summarized results of the controlled field trial of a new inactivated liquid absorbed tissue-culture vaccine developed in the USSR. The optimal immunization dose has been determined: 1.5 ml of the vaccine introduced with a syringe or a jet injector. The intensity and character of postvaccinal immunity have been studied.

BACKGROUND: This study compared onset of sedation and satisfaction with two needleless jet injectors with the oral route for the administration of midazolam. METHODS: Forty-five children ages 1-6 years were randomly assigned to receive either 0.5 mg kg(-1) oral midazolam, 0.2 mg kg(-1) subcutaneous midazolam by J-Tip injector or 0.2 mg kg(-1) intramuscular midazolam by Bioject injector. After midazolam administration the children were monitored for oxygen saturation, heart rate and level of sedation (0, alert; 1, calm; 2, drowsy; 3, dozing; 4, asleep) every 2 min for 20 min by a physician blinded to the route of administration. Patient satisfaction, resistance to treatment, success of delivery, problems with separation, and acceptance of mask at the time of induction were evaluated after midazolam treatment. RESULTS: The Bioject showed a faster onset of sedation than either the J-Tip injector or the oral midazolam (P < 0.05). The children were significantly less satisfied with the Bioject and J-Tip administration vs oral midazolam (P < 0.05). There were no differences in resistance, success of delivery, problems with separation, mask acceptance, arterial oxygen saturation or heart rate. CONCLUSION: Despite children being less satisfied with Bioject injection of midazolam, the procedure is safe, effective and provides a more rapid onset of preoperative sedation in children than either the J-Tip injection or oral route.
This work focused on trace metal behavior and removal in a fabric filter or in a humidification reactor during the cofiring of sawdust and refuse-derived fuels (RDFs) in a pilot-scale bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boiler. Trace metal emissions measurements before and after the fabric filter revealed that removal efficiency in the fabric filter was in the range of 80-100%, and that the European Union (EU) Directive on Incineration of Waste restrictions for trace metal emissions are easily achieved even if addition of RDFs substantially increases the concentration of trace metals in fuel blends. Limestone injection enhanced the removal of As and Se but had no noticeable effect on the removal of other trace metals. Extensive formation of HgCl2 and condensation on fly ash particles during sawdust plus 40% RDF cofiring resulted in a 92% Hg removal efficiency in the fabric filter. Limestone injection had no effect on the Hg removal in the fabric filter but decreased the Hg removal in a humidification reactor from 40 to 28%. Results of the bed material and fly ash analysis suggested capture of Cu, Pb, Mn, Ni, and Zn in the bed material but also suggested that these metals may be released from the bed if the fuel characteristics or process conditions are changed.
A simple coaxial jet mixer for rapid and efficient confluent mixing under laminar flow conditions (Re < 5) is described. This device demonstrates exceptional control of mixing between two laminar streams by creating shear forces due to variable flow velocities at the point of confluence. It is suitable for flow injection and cytometric analyses of rapid kinetic events which require contact mixing of two solutions and subsecond measurements of the evolving reaction. This apparatus was devised for flow injection cytometry as performed on a Becton Dickinson FACS Analyzer. Under normal cytometric conditions and at a sample introduction rate of 60 microL/min, the laminar jet mixer is capable of complete mixing of two solutions within 55 ms. Kinetic measurements can be performed on the FACS Analyzer in a variable time range of 100 ms to 3 min with 14-30 ms temporal resolution of the studied event. Since no boost in core flow is required, potential spectral distortions due to core flow variations are eliminated. This coaxial jet mixer can be easily constructed and employed on a variety of cytometers as well as conventional flow injection analysis systems, since it is an effective mixer under most flow conditions.
A rare case of high-pressure injection injury to the thumb with water is reported. The problem was managed without surgical exploration despite subsequent involvement of the small finger.

Most dentists are aware that local anesthetic injections produce the highest incidence of disruptive behavior in children. Both psychological and physiological monitoring of the response of children to dental injection, support empirical observations of clinicians. The needle-free injector delivers local anesthesia without the use of a needle. This is accomplished by delivering the anesthetic solution under high compressive forces. One hundred children between the ages of 3 to 13 years underwent operative procedures using Madajet XL. There was a statistically significant difference in favor of the instrument. The instrument was completely successful in providing anesthesia.
