Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) face increasingly stringent demands as their application expands into new areas, including extreme temperatures and fast charging. To meet these demands, the electrolyte should enable fast lithium-ion transport and form stable interphases on electrodes simultaneously. In practice, however, improving one aspect often compromises another.

Article Synopsis
  • Dermatomyositis (DM) is an inflammatory disease affecting both the muscles and skin, and severe gastrointestinal (GI) issues are rare but can occur.
  • A case is presented involving a 75-year-old woman who was diagnosed with DM, initially showing a rash and muscle weakness, followed by sudden GI bleeding from duodenal ulcers.
  • The case emphasizes the importance of recognizing potential GI complications in adults diagnosed with DM to ensure timely treatment.
