Retained intraocular graphite foreign bodies are uncommon. Although they are generally inert, they have been reported to cause severe inflammatory reaction and progressive damage to intraocular structures. We report a case of a six-year-old girl with a retained intraocular graphite pencil lead foreign body in the anterior chamber of the eye and discuss the various considerations in the management of such cases.

High-Pressure Injection Injuries of the Hand: A Report of Three Cases Presenting With Acute Compartment Syndrome.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Burns Unit, Coimbra Local Health Unit, Coimbra, PRT.
Article Synopsis
- High-pressure injection injuries in the hand often result from industrial tools like paint guns or air compressors, typically affecting laborers' non-dominant hands and causing damage that’s often underestimated despite appearing as a small puncture wound.
- These injuries can cause severe complications such as neurovascular compromise and acute compartment syndrome due to the spread of injected materials that can be toxic and lead to further tissue damage or infections.
- A presentation of three cases highlights urgent surgery needs for patients who experienced severe pain and swelling after different injected substances, leading to procedures for decompression, irrigation, and tissue removal to prevent serious outcomes.
Integrated tetrahydroxyphthalocyanine-coated graphene decorated with ionic liquid-functionalized gold nanoparticles for highly sensitive and selective electrochemical determination of ascorbic acid in fruit juices.

Surface functionalization and the combined utilization of zero-dimensional and two-dimensional nanomaterials is an effective method to achieve highly sensitive detection for electrochemical analysis. Using an all-in-one strategy, phthalocyanine, gold nanoparticles, and ionic liquid were successively modified on the graphene surface as a highly integrated electrode modification material. Phthalocyanine can repair the defects of reduced graphene oxide by binding to the graphene structure surface through non-covalent functionalization.

Microplastics not only accumulate various harmful substances but also are ingested by marine organisms and humans, causing immeasurable impacts. Therefore, the removal of microplastics has become a crucial proposition for addressing the issue of microplastic pollution. This study investigated a bidirectional ordered graphene oxide (GO)/nanocellulose aerogels (D-DPGG) to remove microplastics from water bodies.

Most breast implants currently used in both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery have a silicone outer shell, which, despite much progress, remains susceptible to mechanical failure, infection, and foreign body response. This study shows that the durability and biocompatibility of breast implant-grade silicone can be enhanced by incorporating carbon nanomaterials of sp and sp hybridization into the polymer matrix and onto its surface. Plasma treatment of the implant surface can be used to modify platelet adhesion and activation to prevent thrombosis, postoperative infection, and inflammation disorders.

Lithium metal batteries paired with high-voltage LiNiMnO (LNMO) cathodes are a promising energy storage source for achieving enhanced high energy density. Forming durable and robust solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) and the ability to withstand oxidation at high potentials are essential for long-lasting performance. Herein, advanced electrolytes are designed via trio-functional additives to carbonate-based electrolytes for 5 V Li||LNMO and graphite||LNMO cells achieving 88.
