Access to needle and syringe programmes

Marc Koska 1.3m reasons to re invent the syringe

One notable example right before the launch, SpaceX engineers found a few cracks in the second stage engine nozzle extension.

The nozzle of an arc pistol should never be viewed directly, unless it is certain that no power is available to the equipment.

This young girl and her friend that I met in an orphanage in Delhi were HIV positive from a syringe.

The dimensions can be controlled through the size of the syringe housing and through the mass of carbon nanotubes added.

This tail structure acts like a molecular syringe, attaching to the bacterial host and then injecting the viral genome into the cell.

Governments should develop appropriate policies for high risk groups and promote a comprehensive package of appropriate services for injecting drug users, including needle and syringe exchange programmes and referrals for treatment.

And you'll see, just now, a nurse coming back to the tray, which is their sort of modular station, and dropping the syringe she's just used back in the tray for it to be picked up and used again.

And the way we do this is we basically place this through the soft tissue, and kind of punch it into the hard bone, into the tuchus that's a technical term and aspirate about 10 mls of bone marrow out, each time, with a syringe.

Reuse of syringes, all too common in under funded clinics, kills 1.3 million each year. Marc Koska clues us in to this devastating global problem with facts, photos and hidden camera footage. He shares his solution a low cost syringe that can't be used twice.

In an interesting photo, their father, while we were talking to him, picked up a syringe and pricked his finger I don't know whether you can see the drop of blood on the end and immediately whipped out a box of matches, lit one, and burned the blood off the end of his finger, giving me full assurance that that was the way that you stopped the transmission of HIV.
