Summary: Thickening electrodes can increase energy density and reduce cost, but the electrochemical performance is limited by lithium-ion transport kinetics. Low-tortuous thick electrodes can accelerate lithium-ions transport, reduce concentration polarization, and possess a stable cathode electrolyte interface, leading to superior cyclability and linear increase in area capacities with active material loadings, even at high area loadings.

Summary: Research has found a discrepancy between the labeled SPF values of sunscreen products in the US market and their actual UV protection levels measured in laboratories and through computer modeling. There is a tendency for regulations and market forces to prioritize reducing sunburn over providing broad-spectrum UV protection.

Summary: A defective zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) derived Co/Fe-N-C catalyst with small mesopores and high density of CoFe atomic active sites was prepared by regulating the Fe dosage and pyrolysis temperature. Molecular dynamics simulation and electrochemical tests showed that >2 nm mesopores had no significant influence on the diffusion process of O-2 and H2O molecules, resulting in high utilization of active sites and low mass transport resistance. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) exhibited a high-power density of 755 mW cm(-2) with only 1.5 mg cm(-2) of non-Pt catalyst in the cathode, and no apparent performance loss was observed even at high current densities.

Summary: A novel 4H-SiC junction barrier Schottky (JBS) with deep linear graded doping (DLGD) P junction structure is proposed and fabricated to enhance the radiation tolerance of
Single-Event Effect (SEE). The hardened device was tested under heavy ion irradiation with linear energy transfer (LET) up to 83.5 MeV(.)cm(2)/mg. Test results show that the single-event leakage current (SELC) threshold voltage of the hardened device is 400 V, which is the best SEE radiation-hardened performance reported so far for high-voltage 4H-SiC JBS.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether sufficient axial stability can be achieved with only 2 cm of stem-cortical diaphyseal contact, and the benefit of a prophylactic cable. The results demonstrated that a prophylactic cable allowed for sufficient axial stability when the contact length was 2 cm, regardless of taper angle. The use of a higher taper angle decreased subsidence but increased fracture risk, which was mitigated by the use of a prophylactic cable. Overall, the study is rated 8 out of 10 for its importance.

Summary: The study findings suggest that time spent outdoors and a modelling approach are reliable predictors of individual UVR exposure levels, while ambient UVR levels are a poor predictor. Personal UVR exposure levels were significantly higher in summer and among outdoor workers.

Summary: Healthcare workers reported frequent adverse skin reactions while using face personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors such as chronic skin diseases and skin types influenced the occurrence of these reactions, with sensitive skin types being more prone. Daily long-term use of face protective equipment increased the risk of adverse skin reactions by four times.

Summary: Skin pigmentation can be induced by both solar ultraviolet radiation and visible light, and oxidative stress is believed to be the cause. The study highlights the need to improve photoprotection at the UVR-visible border and emphasizes the role of sunscreens as neutral density filters.

Summary: This study conducted non-invasive imaging techniques to detail the nail unit structures of psoriatic patients, reducing overall redundancy by unifying terminology and image feature descriptions. More than 75% of the identified image features provided additional disease-relevant information not captured by traditional clinical assessment scales.

Summary: The study visualized the effects of laser ablation on nail tissue and assessed their impact on the biodistribution of a fluorescent dye in healthy and fungal nail tissue. The results showed that laser treatment significantly increased the penetration of the fluorescent dye into the nail plate.

Summary: This study aimed to identify risk factors for skin cancer development in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs). The results showed that a diagnosis of actinic keratosis (AK) was strongly associated with the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in SOTRs. Therefore, intensified skin cancer screening should be conducted in SOTRs with AK diagnosis.

Summary: This study compared the global DNA methylation levels of hairless mouse epidermis using the Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip and whole genome bisulphite sequencing (WGBS). The results showed a strong correlation between the DNA methylation levels obtained from both methods and suggested that fresh and fresh-frozen samples can be used interchangeably. The choice of method will depend on the specific study's aims and laboratory resources.

Summary: Severe skin pain from long wave ultraviolet radiation or visible light exposure is the main symptom of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP). Current treatment options are insufficient and new treatments are hindered by the lack of valid efficacy outcomes. This study provides an overview of phototest procedures used to evaluate EPP treatments. The protocols varied extensively in illumination set-up and evaluation of phototest reactions, highlighting the need for a standardized phototest method for future protoporphyric photosensitivity research.

Summary: The adverse effects of solar ultraviolet radiation on normal skin are well established. Sunscreens, when used correctly, can mitigate the acute and chronic effects of solar UVR exposure. However, global trends show an increasing incidence of all types of skin cancer.

Summary: This assessment by the EEAP evaluates the effects of UV radiation on human health within the context of the Montreal Protocol. It reveals the harmful and beneficial effects of UV radiation on the immune system, skin cancer, eye diseases, and the production of vitamin D. It emphasizes the importance of prevention and the need to balance the risks and benefits of outdoor activities.

Summary: In 2006, CIE published a technical report on the action spectrum for the production of previtamin D-3 in human skin. The report has been widely used for 15 years and has been challenged several times. However, no alternative action spectrum has shown clear advantages over the CIE version. A CIE workshop concluded that the CIE action spectrum may need to be amended, but until a clear alternative is found, the CIE action spectrum should continue to be used.
