Introduction: Peristomal skin excoriation is the most common complication of any stoma, especially of ileostomy and entero-cutaneous fistula. Effluent is erosive to skin and at times leads to excoriation of skin and pain or discomfort to the patient. Many strategies or local medications are being used to treat excoriated skin and give comfort to the patient. Aluminium paint is a cheap and effective means of managing skin excoriation.
Materials And Methods: This case-control study was conducted in NEIGRIHMS from January 2015 to October 2020 on the role of aluminium paint for the management of skin excoriations due to stoma and fistula. A total of 19 patients were managed with aluminium paint and compared with the data of 19 other patients who were managed by conventional dressings as controls.
Results: Aluminium paint helped in the earlier healing of skin excoriations and give comfort to the patients as compared to normal dressings.
Conclusion: Aluminium paint is safe and cost-effective skin barrier to prevent and to manage skin excoriations.

Background: A stemless plastic scintillation detector (SPSD) is composed of an organic plastic scintillator coupled to an organic photodiode. Previous research has shown that SPSDs are ideally suited to challenging dosimetry measurements such as output factors and profiles in small fields. Lacking from the current literature is a systematic effort to optimize the performance of the photodiode component of the detector.

The cooling power of radiative cooling (RC) coatings depends not only on the radiative properties of the coating but also on environmental variables. In tropical environments, the cooling performance of RC coatings deteriorates due to high humidity and high solar radiation. Previous studies focused on developing high solar-reflective coatings to achieve subambient cooling in tropical environments.

In this study, the cooling effect below ambient air temperature, heat dissipation properties and heating energy efficacy of a superomniphobic self-cleaning (SSC) highly emissive (HE) coating were systematically investigated. Except at midday, the SSC-HE coating with an extremely high solar reflectance of 0.985 showed a better cooling effect than a 10-cm-thick polyurethane insulation layer.

In this study, we fabricate and characterize amphiphilic anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes using UV-triggered thiol-yne click reactions and photomasks for various innovative applications, including driven polymer nanopatterns, anti-counterfeiting, and conductive pathways. Specifically, we synthesize 10-undecynyl-terminated-AAO membranes and subsequently prepare amphiphilic AAO membranes with superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic regions. Various analytical methods, including grazing angle X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (GIXPS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), nanofocused synchrotron X-ray techniques (nano-XRD and nano-XRF), and water contact angle measurements, confirm the modifications and distinct properties of the modified areas.
