	Bolus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, a bolus (from Latin bolus, ball) is a large dose of a medication that is given (usually intravenously by direct infusion injection or gravity drip) at the beginning of treatment to raise blood-level concentrations to a therapeutic level.
		Diabetics and health care professionals use bolus to describe a dosage of fast-acting insulin intended to "cover" a meal (as opposed to basal, which is either a dose of slow-acting insulin or a continuously pumped small quantity of fast-acting insulin, intended to "cover" the glucose output of the liver).
		In biology, a bolus is any kind of ball-shaped organic structure of an organism or of its discharged substances.

	Pharmacology Math: delivering bolus medications in pediatrics
		Administering a bolus medication over a specific time frame via buretrol or syringe pump is one possible medication delivery method.
		Generally, administering a bolus dosage means delivering a given amount in a "shorter" time, such as IV push.
		The drip factor of the tubing (buretrol) is 60 gtts/cc or minidrip.

	Harry Bolus - Gerbera.org
		Harry Bolus was born at Nottingham on the 28th of April, 1834, and went out to the Cape, as a poor apprentice, when he was just sixteen years old.
		Bolus visited Kew Garden in 1876, bringing a large collection of plants for comparison with those in the Kew Herbarium.

	ARS \| Publication request: Efficacy of the Ivomec Sr Bolus for Control of Horn Flies (Diptera: Muscidae) on Cattle in ...
		The current study was conducted to determine the efficacy and persistence of the commercial Ivomec SR Bolus on adult horn flies feeding on the blood from treated cattle and on larval horn flies breeding in the manure produced by these cattle.
		The single bolus treatment resulted in less than 10% mortality of adult horn flies feeding on the blood of the treated animals over the 21 wk trial.
		From these studies, we conclude that a single Ivomec SR Bolus used as an anthelmintic treatment can be expected to provide significant control of immature horn flies developing in the manure, but not of adults feeding on the treated cattle.

	Super Bolus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A Super Bolus is created when some of the basal insulin delivery is stopped or partially reduced, and delivered instead as additional bolus insulin on top of a normal carb or correction bolus.
		The increased bolus delivery prevents the postmeal spike as shown in the graphic to the right, while hypoglycemia is avoided by the rapid reduction in basal delivery equal to the amount of insulin which is added to the usual premeal bolus.
		The 9-unit Super Bolus prevents the blood sugar from spiking after the cereal is eaten, while the rapid basal reduction prevents the blood sugar from going low later.

	Flexible Bolus Options
		This bolus type is the most commonly used option for everyday meals, snacks and blood-glucose corrections.

	Natrecor Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Nesiritide - RxList Monographs
		In the VMAC trial, when symptomatic hypotension occurred, Natrecor was discontinued and subsequently could be restarted at a dose that was reduced by 30% (with no bolus administration) once the patient was stabilized.
		The recommended dose of Natrecor is an IV bolus of 2 mcg/kg followed by a continuous infusion of 0.01 mcg/kg/min.
		In those patients, the infusion dose of Natrecor was increased by 0.005 mcg/kg/min (preceded by a bolus of 1 mcg/kg), no more frequently than every 3 hours up to a maximum dose of 0.03 mcg/kg/min.

		However, matching a bolus to the variable absorption time of a meal can be challenging.
		An extended bolus can be given in any amount to the tenth of a unit up to 25 units; then, the bolus can be extended over a time period of 15 minutes to 24 hours.
		This could be achieved by infusing the entire amount of the bolus, over the extended time period, or dividing the required bolus into a percentage taken before the meal, and the rest extended over the desired time period.

	Bolus on Board
		A bolus can be given for dinner then again more for an unplanned dessert and more for the high blood sugar that follows.
		If Bolus on Board, your post meal correction scale or other means give different estimates for how much insulin you should take, use the one that recommends the smaller bolus.
		Bolus on Board is accurate only if you use a basal and bolus approach to your insulin doses, and your TDD, basals, and your carb and correction factors have been accurately set.

	Vascular Application Tips: Contrast Bolus Timing and Scan Delay
		Usually, this is during the arterial phase of the bolus in order to image the ar teries without the confounding effects of venous enhancement.
		The operator can then watch the contrast bolus arrive and then switch to the centric 3D MRA sequence when the desired enhancement is detected.
		Automatic bolus detection techniques use a centrically reordered k-space sequence because the center of k-space contributing to the contrast information on the final image should coincide with the arterial peak of the contrast.

	Copper Oxide Boluses for Grazing Cattle
		The effect of treatment on the copper status of the cows was determined by liver biopsy collections at the start and end of the study (106 and 154 d for Herd one and two, respectively).
		One explanation for the negative impact of copper oxide bolus administration on calf gain is the potential antimicrobial effect of copper in the rumen.
		To investigate this, we examined the effect of copper bolus administration (28 g) on forage nutrient digestion in growing crossbred steers.

	the balance between bolus and basal? - Diabetes Forums
		I was at the doctors lately when they had taken my normal daily,basal and bolus totals, and with some easy math they had told me that 3/4 of my daily total was from basal rates and that it should be more like 50/50 to make up a daily total.
		Yeah it's possible, but a large bolus is more likely to have an absorption problem.
		The bolus on the other hand was to totally cover the food and most importantly, bring my blood sugar down below 140 withing 2 hours of eating.

	Insulin Pumpers UK: What is a square-wave bolus?
		The square-wave bolus is a feature of the MiniMed 507 pump and can be easily mimicked with a MiniMed 506 pump using the temporary basal rate feature.
		If a bolus of six units of insulin were to be administered over a one hour time period, you could program a bolus of one unit every 10 minutes, or, a bolus of one and a half units every fifteen minutes.
		Normal boluses cannot be given during the extended bolus and if you need to put the pump into stop for any reason the extended bolus is cancelled (an alarm warns you of this).
