Sucrose monopalmitate (SMP) is an effective surfactant for emulsification, but exhibits poor stability in low pH environments, due to neutralized surface charges. To improve SMP-based emulsions, we used food-grade amino acids as co-surfactants. Lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan lowered the water-oil interfacial tension.

Clear emulsions are used as flavor carriers by the beverage industry because of their favorable optical properties. A transparent microemulsion with small droplets requires a high concentration of surfactants, and is often non-dilutable, posing a significant challenge to their application in the food industry. The formation of dilutable microemulsions by modulating the compatibility of oil composition and co-solvents was studied.

Background: Hospital-acquired pressure injuries are strongly associated with surgeries performed under general anesthesia.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of using a prophylactic multi-layer soft silicone foam dressing in non-critically ill patients with a Braden Scale score of ≤18 after undergoing routine surgery without sacral pressure injuries.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 156 patients who were admitted for surgery under general anesthesia in a tertiary general hospital.

There are very few documented cases of histiocytoid angiosarcoma in the literature. We report a rare case of histiocytoid angiosarcoma demonstrating emperipolesis, a histopathologic finding that mimics Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD). A 77-year-old male presented with a subcutaneous nodule on his left forehead.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a systemic inflammatory condition that may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, ongoing debate exists surrounding its direct association. We aimed to elucidate whether AD contributes to a higher incidence of CVD and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in adult patients with AD, independent of metabolic disorders.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a large US-based population of patients with AD (≥ 18 years of age).
