PREPARATION OF MECHANICALLY STABLE SUPERAMPHIPHOBIC COATINGS VIA COMBINING PHASE SEPARATION OF ADHESIVE AND FLUORINATED SIO2 FOR ANTI-ICING

Preparation of Mechanically Stable Superamphiphobic Coatings via Combining Phase Separation of Adhesive and Fluorinated SiO2 for Anti-Icing

Superamphiphobic coatings have widespread application potential in various fields, e.g., anti-icing, anti-corrosion and self-cleaning, but are seriously limited by poor mechanical stability.Here, mechanically stable superamphiphobic coatings were fabricated by spraying the suspension composed of phase-separated silicone-modified polyester (SPET) ad

Panfacial trauma: management of a traumatic hemifacial avulsion and degloving injury with multiple maxillofacial fractures

Background: Cases of avulsion and degloving injuries of solitary areas of the face have been reported in the literature.However, complex traumatic degloving hemifacial injury with compound panfacial fractures is very rare.Rehabilitation of extensive degloving facial injuries poses a great challenge for surgeons.Surgery becomes more challenging if t

Myelination and isochronicity in neural networks

Our brain contains a multiplicity of neuronal networks.In many of these, information sent from presynaptic neurons travels through a variety of pathways of different distances, yet arrives at the postsynaptic cells at the same time.Such isochronicity is achieved either by changes in the conduction velocity of axons or by lengthening the axonal path

Impact of Nanoplastic Particles on Macrophage Inflammation and Intestinal Health in a Mouse Model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Background: The increasing presence of plastics in the human diet is raising public concern about the potential risks posed by nanoplastic (NP) particles, which can emerge from the degradation of plastic debris.NP ingestion poses particular risks to individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as compromised epithelial barriers may facilitate

Spinal Tolerance and Dependence: Some Observations on the Role of Spinal N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors and Phosphorylation in the Loss of Opioid Analgesic Responses

The continuous delivery of opiates can lead to a reduction in analgesic effects.In humans, as Damiana in other animals, some component of this change in sensitivity seems likely to have a strong pharmacodynamic component.Such loss of effect, deemed to be tolerance in the present article, can be readily demonstrated in animals with repeated bolus an
