AI Article Synopsis
- - Green nail syndrome (GNS) is a nail infection caused by Pseudomonas bacteria, leading to green discoloration, often affecting those with existing nail issues or who are frequently in wet environments.
- - The patient in the case developed GNS following home application of artificial nails, which contributed to the infection.
- - This case highlights the risks associated with prolonged use of artificial nails, especially in children, showcasing a rare but serious infection.
Article Abstract
Green nail syndrome (GNS) is a pseudomonal nail infection that presents with characteristic green nail discoloration. It typically affects patients with preexisting nail conditions or chronic exposure to wet environments but can also be seen with local trauma. Our patient presented with a pseudomonal corneal ulcer of the left eye and was incidentally found to have GNS, which developed after home artificial nail application. This unusual case of extensive pediatric GNS illustrates a rare and serious infectious complication of prolonged artificial nails.

PLGA Conical Nail Fixation for Acetabular Chondrolabral Delamination in Femoroacetabular Impingement Promotes Cartilage and Labrum Regeneration in a Porcine Model.

Article Synopsis
- Acetabular chondrolabral delamination (ACD) is a prevalent hip injury with few effective treatments; this study explored the use of PLGA conical nail fixation as a potential method.
- The experiment involved 24 pigs with surgically induced ACD, divided into three groups: a control (no treatment), an acute fixation group using PLGA nails, and a chronic fixation group using spacers before PLGA nails.
- Results indicated that the pigs in the acute fixation group showed significantly better cartilage regeneration and proteoglycan deposition compared to the control and chronic groups, suggesting PLGA nails are effective for treating ACD.
Enhancing Quasi-Solid-State Lithium-Metal Battery Performance: Multi-Interlayer, Melt-Infused Lithium and Lithiophilic Coating Strategies for Interfacial Stability in Li||VS-DSGNS-LATP|PEO-PVDF||NMC622-AlO Systems.

The development of quasi-solid-state lithium metal batteries (QSSLMBs) is hindered by inadequate interfacial contact, poor wettability between electrodes and quasi-solid-state electrolytes, and significant volume changes during long-term cycling, leading to safety risks and cataclysmic failures. Here, we report an innovative approach to enhance interfacial properties through the construction of QSSLMBs. A multilayer design integrates a microwave-synthesized LiAlTi(PO) (LATP) ceramic electrolyte, which is surface-coated with a lithiophilic conductive ink comprising VS and disulfonated functionalized graphene nanosheets (VS-DSGNS) using a low-cost nail-polish binder.

The Green Heart Project is a controlled, community-based clinical trial to evaluate the effects of increasing greenery on community health. The study was initiated in 2018 in a low-to-middle-income residential area of nearly 30,000 racially diverse residents in Louisville, KY. Community engagement was maintained throughout the project, with feedback integrated into its design and implementation.

We report a case of onychomycosis due to Fusarium solani with gray-green staining, which improved after nail plate removal and antifungal liquid of effinaconazole. Fungal cultures revealed light-brown and dark-green colonies. Gray-green nail might have occurred due to the combination of these colonies, which necessitated differentiation from green nail.
