Article Synopsis
  • - Trichorrhexis nodosa (TN) is a hair shaft disorder causing hair fragility and weak points, often resulting from daily hair care or environmental exposure, and is more commonly acquired than congenital.
  • - A case study of a 19-year-old male volleyball player revealed acquired distal TN, linked to chlorine exposure and excessive training, with symptoms including abnormal hair fragility and visible white knots along the hair shafts.
  • - Diagnosis was confirmed through dermoscopy and microscopy, leading to recommendations for gentle hair care; follow-up showed no recurrence after six months, emphasizing the importance of managing underlying causes.

The present manuscript reports on optimized formulations of alcohol-based conductive paints for electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI), which can ensure compatibility and reduce the visibility of electronic equipment, as a continuation of our previous work in this field, which examined water-based formulations for other applications. Graphite, carbon black, graphene, FeO, Fe ore, and PEDOT:PSS in various ratios and combinations were employed in an alcohol base for developing homogeneous paint-like fluid mixtures that could be easily applied to surfaces with a paintbrush, leading to homogeneous, uniform, opaque layers, drying fast in the air at room temperature; these layers had a reasonably good electrical conductivity and, subsequently, an efficient EMI-shielding performance. Uniform, homogeneous and conductive layers with a thickness of over 1 mm without exfoliations and cracking were prepared with the developed paints, offering an attenuation of up to 50 dB of incoming GHz electromagnetic radiation.

A new coating based on polymer-derived ceramics (PDC), oxides and refractory ceramic with a thickness of around 50 µm has been developed to improve the resistance corrosion of stainless steel substrate against molten aluminum alloy in a thermal energy storage (TES) system designed to run at high temperature (up to 600 °C). These coatings implemented by straightforward methods, like tape casting or paintbrush, were coated on planar and cylindrical stainless-steel substrates, pyrolyzed at 700 °C before being plunged for 600 and 1200 h in molten AlSi at 700 °C. The stainless-steel substrate appears healthy without intermetallic compounds, characteristic of molten aluminum alloy corrosion.

The rubber hand illusion (RHI) occurs when the participants' own unseen hand is stroked in synchrony with an observed rubber hand. It manifests itself in terms of a tendency to misreport the position of one's own hand as nearer to the rubber hand (proprioceptive drift) and in terms of feelings of ownership of the rubber hand. Many studies have examined whether the illusion depends on characteristics of the hand (e.
