Oral vitamin B12 versus intramuscular vitamin B12 for vitamin B12 deficiency The evidence derived from these limited studies suggests that high oral doses of B12 (1000 mcg and 2000 mcg) could be as effective as intramuscular administration in achieving haematological and neurological responses. High oral doses of B12 (1000 mcg and 2000 mcg) were as effective as intramuscular administration in achieving haematological and neurological responses. The evidence derived from these limited studies suggests that 2000 mcg doses of oral vitamin B12 daily and 1000 mcg doses initially daily and thereafter weekly and then monthly may be as effective as intramuscular administration in obtaining short term haematological and neurological responses in vitamin B12 deficient patients. www.cochrane.org /reviews/en/ab004655.html   (605 words)

BioMed Central | Full text | Type-selective muscular degeneration promotes infiltrative growth of intramuscular lipoma Intramuscular lipoma is a relatively common benign neoplasm that is occasionally described as an infiltrating lipoma. An intramuscular lipoma is a relatively common benign neoplasm that causes concern for both clinicians and pathologists, because of its large size, deep location, and infiltrating growth, which has led to its description as an infiltrating lipoma. Intramuscular and intermuscular lipomas are relatively rare as compared to superficial lipomas, and have been reported to comprise 1.8% and 0.3% of all fatty tumors, respectively [9]. www.biomedcentral.com /1471-2474/5/20   (2446 words)

Intramuscular Injection Information on Healthline Intramuscular injection is used for the delivery of certain drugs not recommended for other routes of administration, for instance intravenous, oral, or subcutaneous. The intramuscular route should not be used in cases where muscle size and condition is not adequate to support sufficient uptake of the drug. Intramuscular injection should be avoided if other routes of administration, especially oral, can be used to provide a comparable level of absorption and effect in any given individual's situation and condition. www.healthline.com /galecontent/intramuscular-injection   (678 words)

Intramuscular - Anabolic Steroids   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Intramuscular injections are used when prompt absorption is desired, when larger doses are needed than can be given cutaneously or when a drug is too irritating to be given subcutaneously. Ideally, intramuscular injections should be given deep within the muscle and away from major nerves and blood vessels. Shorter needles, 5/8" or 1/2" are usually not sufficient for intramuscular injections and occasionally leave a portion of the Injection in a subcutaneous area which will cause a swell between the skin and muscle as well as impaired absorption. www.chronicfitness.com /forum/anabolic-steroids/389-intramuscular.html   (1905 words)

Bodybuilding.com - ISSA - Intramuscular Triglycerides (IMTG) As An Ergogenic Aid. True, lipids and carbohydrate are the major fuels for muscular work and it is generally correct to think that the fat and carbohydrate oxidized (burned) during exercise are derived predominantly from triglyceride (fat) and glycogen stored within the body. What that means is it allows intramuscular fat to be utilized at a higher rate than adipose tissue. HSL is believed to be regulated by intramuscular (contraction) and extramuscular (epinephrine/adrenalin) factors (2). www.bodybuilding.com /fun/issa108.htm   (1330 words)

Olanzapine IntraMuscular The recommended intramuscular dose for the treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar mania is 10 milligrams (mg). Maximal dosing of intramuscular olanzapine (ie, three 10 mg doses administered 2 to 4 hours apart) may be associated with an increased risk of orthostatic hypotension. Intramuscular olanzapine effectively reduced symptoms of agitation in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder in 3 short-term, placebo-controlled trials. www.micromedex.com /products/updates/drugdex_updates/de/olanzapine.html   (1111 words)

The Relationship Between Marbling and Intramuscular Fat The relationship between marbling score and intramuscular fat and the role of each in selection programs for carcass quality are frequently misunderstood and even debated within the industry. Intramuscular fat is determined by chemical extraction of lipid from a thin facing of the exposed ribeye muscle. Therefore, percent intramuscular fat is an objective measurement that quantifies the total fat content within the ribeye muscle. www.ext.vt.edu /news/periodicals/livestock/aps-02_12/aps-171.html   (801 words)

ClinicalTrials.gov - Information on Clinical Trials and Human Research Studies A small proportion of the population for which annual influenza immunization is indicated may self-defer because of the pain associated with the administration of the vaccine. Decreasing pain associated with intramuscular injection by decreasing needle temperature could be an inexpensive, simple way to decrease injection fear and increase immunization rates. Further rationale for the study design covers that we are unable to adminster the same injection at two sites to the same person during the same visit varying only the temperature of the needle. www.clinicaltrials.gov /ct/gui/show/NCT00213967?order=25   (632 words)

World of MS - Symptoms & Treatments - Intramuscular Adrenocortropic Hormone Thirty-five years ago, short-term intramuscular (IM) adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH given daily in high doses was shown to reduce the severity and shorten the duration of exacerbations. In more recent studies, claims have been made that IVMP works more quickly and effectively than ACTH, and most neurologists now prefer this treatment. In the opinion of the Committee, intramuscular ACTH, although proven efficacious, is no longer the preferred treatment for MS exacerbations. www.ifmss.org.uk /en/symptoms_treatments/ms_the_guide_to_treatment_and_management/treatment_for_an_acute_exacerbation/specific_agents/intramuscular_ad.html   (89 words)
