Intra Hemocoelic Injection

Intrahemocoelic injection is a technique for delivering microorganisms, immune elicitors, drugs, or other test substances directly into the hemocoel, the body cavity of many invertebrates. A fine needle penetrates the cuticle and deposits the material into the hemolymph, allowing rapid distribution while bypassing external barriers and the gut. In immunology and infection research, this method enables controlled studies of host defense, pathogen virulence, antimicrobial responses, and survival. Researchers can standardize dose and exposure, then measure outcomes such as hemocyte activity, immune gene expression, microbial burden, or mortality, making the technique valuable for linking experimental challenge to invertebrate immune mechanisms.

Intra-articular Shoulder Injection for Reduction Following Shoulder Dislocation

0 Views •

2023

Source: Rachel Liu, BAO, MBBCh, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA The anterior shoulder dislocation is one of the most common joint dislocations seen in emergency settings. In anterior shoulder dislocation, the humeral head is displaced out of the glenohumeral joint in front of the scapular glenoid, resulting in a loss of the articulation between the arm and the rest of the shoulder. This can be caused by a fall onto an abducted, extended, and externally...

Lymph nodes are the immunological tissues that orchestrate immune response and are a critical target for vaccines. Biomaterials have been employed to better target lymph nodes and to control delivery of antigens or adjuvants. This paper describes a technique combining these ideas to inject biocompatible polymer particles into lymph nodes.

This manuscript provides the detailed procedure of intra-iliac artery (IIA) injection, a technique to deliver cancer cells specifically to hind limb tissues including bones to establish experimental bone metastases. Although initially established with breast tumor models, this protocol can be easily extended to other cancer types.
