Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia is a common cause of progressive permanent apical alopecia. This unique form of alopecia includes entities previously know as "hot comb alopecia," "follicular degeneration syndrome," "pseudopelade" in African Americans and "central elliptical pseudopelade" in Caucasians. The etiology appears to be multifactorial and the condition occurs in all races.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a healthcare burden affecting over 595 million people worldwide. Recently, intra-articular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections from the patient's blood have shown promise in slowing KOA progression due to platelets' regenerative properties. This study aimed to evaluate the optimal dosing and schedule for PRP therapy in managing mild to moderate KOA.

Background: Safe and effective pediatric blood pumps continue to lag far behind those developed for adults. To address this growing unmet clinical need, we are developing a hybrid, continuous-flow, magnetically levitated, pediatric total artificial heart (TAH). Our hybrid TAH design, the Dragon Heart (DH), integrates both an axial flow and centrifugal flow blood pump within a single, compact housing.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on developing a green and effective pesticide formulation using nanoemulsions, including adjuvants like Calcium Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (Atlox 4838B) and trisiloxane ethoxylate (ARGAL), aimed at targeting the pest Sitophilus oryzae.
- Results indicate that all formulations achieved nanoscale droplets, with scanning electron microscopy revealing their spherical shapes, while dynamic light scattering showed variations in size based on the presence of adjuvants.
- The nanoemulsions demonstrated good stability under various conditions, with most formulations having acidic to neutral pH levels, and adjuvants enhanced their stability by altering droplet characteristics and increasing kinetic stability.
