An allergic reaction provoked by reexposure to an allergen or antigen is known as a type I or immediate hypersensitivity reaction. Latex allergy is a common cause of type I hypersensitivity reactions. Allergic responses to latex in psoriasis patients receiving frequent injections with biologic agents are not commonly reported in the literature. We report the case of a patient with a long history of psoriasis who developed an allergic response after exposure to injection devices that contained latex components while undergoing treatment with biologic agents.

Microfluidic mixing probe: generating multiple concentration-varying flow dipoles.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Division of Engineering, New York University Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
This study advances microfluidic probe (MFP) technology through the development of a 3D-printed Microfluidic Mixing Probe (MMP), which integrates a built-in pre-mixer network of channels and features a lined array of paired injection and aspiration apertures. By combining the concepts of hydrodynamic flow confinements (HFCs) and "Christmas-tree" concentration gradient generation, the MMP can produce multiple concentration-varying flow dipoles, ranging from 0 to 100%, within an open microfluidic environment. This innovation overcomes previous limitations of MFPs, which only produced homogeneous bioreagents, by utilizing the pre-mixer to create distinct concentration of injected biochemicals.

Hypothesis: Bioengineered monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have gained significant recognition as medical therapies. However, during processing, storage and use, mAbs are susceptible to interfacial adsorption and desorption, leading to structural deformation and aggregation, and undermining their bioactivity. To suppress antibody surface adsorption, nonionic surfactants are commonly used in formulation.

Introduction: Arterial vascular occlusion is a rare complication of dermal filler injection. This case report describes the successful use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a patient with vascular occlusion after a permanent dermal filler was injected.
Case Report: A 51-year-old woman underwent an injection of non-resorbable polymethylmethacrylate microspheres into her nasolabial folds.
The vascular supply to the lateral compartment of the leg with emphasis on fibular flap harvesting.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the exact locations of vascular pedicles that supply the fibularis longus and brevis, to identify the morphometric features of those vessels in the lateral compartment of the leg, and to indicate the branching points of the pedicles from the main arteries.
Methods: The popliteal arteries of 40 lower limbs from 20 adult cadavers (12 males, 8 females) were bilaterally injected with colored latex. After dissection, the branches of the arteries were identified and counted.
Realizing low voltage-driven bright and stable quantum dot light-emitting diodes through energy landscape flattening.
Light Sci Appl

Key Laboratory for Special Functional Materials of Ministry of Education, National & Local Joint Engineering Research Center for High-efficiency Display and Lighting Technology, Henan University, 475004, Kaifeng, China.
Solution-processed quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) hold great potential as competitive candidates for display and lighting applications. However, the serious energy disorder between the quantum dots (QDs) and hole transport layer (HTL) makes it challenging to achieve high-performance devices at lower voltage ranges. Here, we introduce "giant" fully alloy CdZnSe/ZnSeS core/shell QDs (size ~ 19 nm) as the emitting layer to build high-efficient and stable QLEDs.
