Unlabelled: Hair thread tourniquet syndrome has been well described in the literature, with one of the rare presentations including resultant tourniquet of the penis. We describe an unusual case in an adult resulting in erosion of the urethra as well as the reconstructive and social challenges faced in an attempt to preserve the glans.

Extrinsic aging, primarily due to ultraviolet light exposure, leads to photoaging, which causes collagen fragmentation and reduced production, leading to skin sagging.

Nature uses fibrous structures for sensing and structural functions as observed in hairs, whiskers, stereocilia, spider silks, and hagfish slime thread skeins. Here, we demonstrate multi-nozzle printing of 3D hair arrays having freeform trajectories at a very high rate, with fiber diameters as fine as 1.5 µm, continuous lengths reaching tens of centimeters, and a wide range of materials with elastic moduli from 5 MPa to 3500 MPa.
