The present invention provides a method for determining whether an individual has a central nervous system disease or injury comprising: obtaining a T measurement for at least one brain tissue sample from an individual; determining if the T measurement indicates the presence of a central nervous system disease or injury in the individual. The present invention also provides a method for determining whether an individual has a central nervous system disease or injury comprising: obtaining a first T measurement using an MRI technique for a brain tissue sample from an individual at a first time; obtaining a second T measurement using an MRI technique for the brain tissue sample from the individual at a second time; and comparing the second T measurement to the first T measurement. In addition, the present invention provides a method for determining the effectiveness of a treatment for a central nervous system disease or injury comprising: obtaining a first T measurement using an MRI technique for a brain tissue sample from an individual at a first time; administering a first treatment to an individual; obtaining a second T measurement using the MRI technique for the brain tissue sample from the individual after administering the first treatment; and comparing the second T measurement to the first T measurement.

The present invention provides methods for determining brain functioning in an individual by measuring the amount of either N-acetylaspartate or choline in an individuals brain. The present invention also provides methods for determining a change in an individuals brain functioning due to a change in the concentration of N-acetylaspartate or choline in the individuals brain.

The present invention provides a syringe device comprising: a first syringe comprising: a first syringe barrel including a first opening at a distal end thereof through which fluid may be forced or aspirated; and a first syringe plunger sliding within the first syringe barrel for forcing fluid through the first syringe barrel opening, the first syringe plunger including a stopper at a distal end thereof which sealingly and slidably engages the first syringe barrel; a reciprocating member which moves along a track parallel to the axial direction of the first syringe; and a reciprocating device connecting the first syringe plunger to the reciprocating member so that when one member of the group consisting of the first syringe plunger and the reciprocating member moves distally, the other member of the group is forced to move proximally. The present invention also provides a syringe device where one member of the group consisting of the first syringe plunger and the reciprocating member moves proximally, the other member of the group is forced to move distally.

Danger from pricks by contaminated hypodermic needles is reduced by the configuring of a family of single diameter and multiple diameter syringes that accommodate conventional hypodermic needles but also a variety of universal needle-based guards, shields, and safety needles. The family of syringes has as a common property among all the members of the family—a standardized diameter of that portion of the syringe barrel adjacent the needle. The portion of the syringe barrels in the family having the standardized diameter can accommodate universal safety needles regardless of the volume of the syringe.

A butterfly needle assembly has a needle and a shield with wings integral to either the needle or the shield. The wings have aesthetically pleasing patterns to distract the patient during treatment. The mechanical design of the needle and shield juncture improves the stability of the assembly when inserted into a patient, as well as allowing the assembly to be disengaged with a single hand to help the caregiver avoid a needle “stick” and prevent the spread of diseases.

A reciprocating syringe is described. The syringe includes a syringe barrel with a syringe plunger with a thumb rest for injecting or aspirating fluid and reciprocating member with thumb a rest which move in a guide track and a reciprocating device connecting the syringe plunger to the reciprocating member so that when the syringe plunger moves in one direction the reciprocating member moves in the opposite direction.
