Experimental technique for optimizing aerosolized vaccine efficacy by Erika J. Sandford.
… chain systems are impractical and the use of hypodermic needles can be unsafe. However, more research is needed to determine optimal parameters for vaccine aerosolization. This thesis presents an experimental setup to test Aerovax, a device designed to deliver aerosolized vaccinations in …

Needle-free drug delivery using shock wave techniques
… over the depth of penetration than traditional hypodermic needles, a factor particularly important in vaccine delivery. However they still have not found wide spread use, because of their cost. We studied the parameters determining the performance of these devices and used that knowledge to …

Experimental investigations of the effects of surfactants on droplet production by bubbles rising to a free surface.
… is created with air injected through an array of hypodermic needles arranged in a grid pattern and five different bubble production rates are studied for each surface condition. Measurements of the bubble diameters as they approach the free surface are obtained with diffuse light shadowgraph …

Etiological Characterization of Emergency Department Acute Poisoning
… the rate of HIV and Hepatitis transmission via hypodermic needles among illicit drug users. As well, inhalation and insufflation may be risk factors that aggravate preexisting asthma. Mental illnesses, chiefly depression, remain one of the greatest risk factors for suicidal poisoning beside age, …

Microneedle array patches for skin hyperthermia and enhanced intradermal drug delivery
Microneedles (MN) arrays are micron-size needle arrays with length generally ranging between 50 μm and 2 mm. When applied to the skin surface, they pierce the stratum corneum creating micropores that can enhance the delivery of drugs into the viable skin layers. MN arrays offer great advantages for …
