Detection of in Situ Early Corrosion on Polymer-Coated Metal Substrates.

Article Synopsis
- Protective coating systems (PCS) are widely used to prevent corrosion on metal substrates, but current evaluation methods mostly rely on visual inspections, which can be misleading.
- Traditional testing methods for PCS performance are inefficient, leading to ambiguous results that fail to provide clear scientific insight into the failure mechanisms of these coatings.
- The research aims to develop a quantifiable characterization protocol that accurately detects and monitors corrosion pathways and milestones, enhancing the understanding and future design of more effective protective coatings.
Therapeutic treatment for persons with epilepsy (PWE) should address seizure control and the broad spectrum of associated comorbidities. Since both epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can induce decreased libido, sexual health assessment is an important aspect of quality care in PWE as well as other patients receiving AEDs. This paper presents findings from a pilot quality initiative conducted in the ambulatory care epilepsy, pain management, and psychiatric services (N=15 clinicians) which addressed two themes: 1) whether libido is routinely questioned with/without the electronic medical record (EMR) and 2) clinicians' knowledge that both epilepsy and AEDs can induce decreased libido.
