The article concluded that many medications are not labeled clearly, that some provide no dosing instrument, and that the instruments, if included, are not marked consistently.
The aim of this study is to explore whether the WHO praziquantel pole is a satisfactory dose instrument for mass treatment of S. haematobium.
The aim of this study is to explore in both theory and practice whether the WHO praziquantel pole is a satisfactory dose instrument for mass treatment of S. haematobium, or whether some other approach could be more appropriate in order to avoid under- and overdosage.
The suspension was inserted inside the reactors by means of dosing pumps (Hanna Instruments, model BL20).
Radiochemical conversions and purities were determined by radio-HPLC using beta-sensitive detectors and dose-calibrators (Veenstra Instruments) and by radio-TLC using Cyclone phosphor storage screens (multisensitive, Packard) and OptiQuant software.
The fractions were collected and measured in a VDC-405 dose calibrator (Veenstra Instruments, Joure, The Netherlands).
Exact comparisons of findings from various groups are difficult because different types of cigarettes (reference compared with commercial), doses of cigarettes, instruments, exposure protocols and a wide variety of mouse strains are used.
The simultaneous measurements of dose and dose rate using four Liulin instruments at various locations in the US LAB and Node 1 has experimentally demonstrated anisotropic effects in ISS 6A and are used herein to evaluate the adequacy of these revised environmental models.
A dose calibrator (VDC405, Veenstra Instruments, Joure, The Netherlands) was used for the determination of 68Ga activities directly after elution (first day), and measurements of the activity were continued, after complete decay of the primarily eluted 68Ga, by high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry using a high-purity germanium detector system (HPGe, Ortec, Oak Ridge, TN, USA).
