A group of 43 patients with a clinical history of nickel allergy who exhibited an equivocal or no allergic reaction to a patch test at 48 h were further challenged using several different formulations of nickel sulphate. This experimental test battery comprised aqueous, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and propylene glycol (PG) solutions of nickel sulphate, and nickel sulphate incorporated into cetomacrogol cream and yellow soft paraffin (PMF). Although some of these vehicles were irritant, a formulation-dependent test response was observed, such that in terms of the number of responses per unit weight of nickel sulphate applied to the skin, the vehicles could be ranked: DMSO greater than PG greater than aqueous solution greater than cetomacrogol cream greater than PMF preparations. This ranking could be correlated with the relative ease with which nickel sulphate could be dialysed from each vehicle in vitro. This study demonstrates that for nickel sulphate, the vehicle can influence the outcome of patch testing apparently by modifying the quantity of nickel released into the skin for elicitation of the allergic response.

Article Synopsis
- PFAS are stable yet harmful chemicals, vital for modern technologies but persistent pollutants affecting health.
- The study focuses on completely breaking down GenX, a PFAS replacement, using electrocatalysis in LiOH solutions with specialized nanocatalysts.
- The approach is environmentally friendly, utilizing nonprecious materials and without the need for auxiliary chemicals, offering a potential solution to mitigate PFAS pollution.

This study investigates the corrosion of 90/10 copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) alloy caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the presence of aluminum anodes, with particular emphasis on the role of electron supply in microbial corrosion and the resulting local corrosion failures. The study reveals that the electron supply from the anode supports SRB growth on the Cu-Ni alloy through an "Electrons-siphoning" mechanism. However, the supply is insufficient to sustain the SRB population, resulting in ineffective cathodic protection (i = 2.

Electrodialysis (ED) has already been applied to recover nickel in galvanizing processes, allowing nickel recovery and the production of a treated effluent with demineralized water quality. However, the growth in ED use is still limited by the production and commercialization of ion-selective membranes, currently limited to a few large companies. Therefore, this paper presents the development of homogeneous cationic and anionic membranes made from poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) for ED use.

Caltech Active Strand Cloudwater collectors are used to collect valley fog samples from Mount and North-Lebanon during 2021 for the speciation of organic matter for the first time ever. Numerous compounds including pesticides, phenols, acids, and persistent organic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been identified in fogwater samples. They are extracted using the liquid-liquid extraction performed on the XTR chromabond columns.

Nickel has an impact on human health, especially in the context of the new energy industries. Nickel's influence on glycemia remains controversial, and the effects and mechanisms of nickel on islet function still need further exploration. MIN6 cells were treated with different concentrations of nickel sulfate (NiSO) (0, 75, 150, and 300 µg/mL) for different durations (0, 12, 24, and 48 h).
