TL;DR: A simple teaching aid simulating a hand and forearm with multiple blisters, created with readily available materials providing an effective, low‐cost, painless substitute for real‐life blisters is found to be extremely useful to teach patients, families, and professional groups how to drain EB blisters.
Abstract: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a genetic disorder with skin fragility resulting in easy blistering of skin and mucous membranes. A plane of cleavage exists even where there is no visible blister, so new blisters should be drained as soon as possible to prevent their expansion. Although, learning how to drain blisters safely and painlessly without introducing infection is essential, it can be a major challenge, especially for new parents and children. To avoid demonstrating the technique directly on patient's skin, we have devised a simple teaching aid simulating a hand and forearm with multiple blisters, created with readily available materials. In our experience, we have found this low-cost model to be extremely useful to teach patients, families, and professional groups, how to drain EB blisters and it provides an effective, low-cost, painless substitute for real-life blisters, empowering parents and engaging children.

TL;DR: An alternative solution to the problem of aluminum-plastic multilayer waste utilization was suggested in this paper , where three different sorts of aluminumplastic sandwich materials were treated with an alkali solution.
Abstract: An alternative solution to the problem of aluminum–plastic multilayer waste utilization was suggested. The process can be used for hydrogen generation and layer separation. Three different sorts of aluminum–plastic sandwich materials were treated with an alkali solution. In the temperature range of 50–70 °C, for tablet blisters of polyvinylchloride and aluminum (14.8 wt.%), the latter thoroughly reacted in 15–30 min. For sheets of paper, polyethylene, and aluminum (20 wt.%), full hydrogen ‘recovery’ from reacted aluminum component took 3–8 min. From the lids of polyethylene terephthalate, aluminum (60 wt.%), and painted polyethylene with perforations, the aluminum was consumed after 45–105 min. The effect of perforations was the reduction of the process duration from nearly 90 min for the lids with no perforations to nearly 45 min for the perforated ones (at 70 °C). Perforations provided better contact between the aluminum foil, isolated between the plastic layers, and the alkali solution. Hydrogen bubbles originating near those perforations provided foil separation from the upper painted plastic layer by creating gas gaps between them. The remaining components of the composite multilayer materials were separated and ready for further recycling.

TL;DR: A very atypical and unusual course of pemphigus vulgaris with extensive keloid formation despite high systemic steroids is described, promoted by the severe flare of the disease, the delay of scarring, and the superinfection.
Abstract: Since pemphigus blisters are intraepidermal, scarring should induce at most a post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation. We describe a very atypical and unusual course of pemphigus vulgaris with extensive keloid formation despite high systemic steroids. This could be promoted by the severe flare of the disease, the delay of scarring, and the superinfection.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for characterizing a dose or dosage of implanted atomic species in a substrate by annealing the substrate after implantation of the atomic species, with the anneal conducted at a temperature and for a time sufficient to cause blisters in a surface region of the substrate but below that which would cause a majority or significant amount of the blisters to burst.
Abstract: A method for characterizing a dose or dosage of implanted atomic species in a substrate by annealing the substrate after implantation of the atomic species, with the anneal conducted at a temperature and for a time sufficient to cause the implanted atomic species to from blisters in a surface region of the substrate but below that which would cause a majority or significant amount of the blisters to burst; imaging the surface region of the substrate to obtain a surface image; and processing the surface image to characterize the implant dose of the atomic species. This characterization can be performed on a qualitative or quantitative basis, as desired.
