The route of administration for these interventions were intravenous infusions (n = 4) [23,24,37,38], intravenous (n = 9) [26,28,31,35,36,41,46,48,49], intramuscular (n = 8) [25,33,34,39,[42][43][44][45], intraperitoneal (n = 1) [40], intraperitoneal infusion (n = 1) [32], local application (n = 1) [51], intra-arterially one-time bolus plus infusion (n = 1) [47], and gavage (n = 2) [27,29]. Duration of treatment ranged from 30 mins to 6.5 hrs in eight studies [23,24,26,32,37,38,46,50], in 15 studies a single bout of treatment was used [25, 28, 31, 33-36, 39, 41-45, 48, 51], one study used a one-time bolus followed by 60 mins of infusion [47], one-time treatment was used every day for 7 days [40] or for 5 days [27], three times treatment with two hour intervals [49] or 8 hour interval [29] was used, and the drug was given in 0.5 ml increments over 5 min interval for 1 hour [30] (Table 1).…”
