TL;DR: The demonstration of ECF in tissue fluid suggests that this factor plays a role in the local accumulation of eosinophils at sites of certain inflammatory reactions.
Abstract: SUMMARY
The occurrence of low molecular weight (< 500 dalton) eosinophil chemotactic factor (ECF) was studied in the blister fluid of patients with various dermatological diseases by an in vitro chemotaxis method. After chromatographic separation of the test substance on a small Sephadex G 25 column, ECF was demonstrated in blisters of five patients with bullous pemphigoid, in three patients with systemic drug reactions and in one patient with blisters after contact with primula. ECF was not found in blisters of patients with epidermolysis bullosa and herpes gestationis or in DNCB-induced blisters. Fluid obtained from suction blisters was negative in normal controls and on unaffected skin of patients with atopic eczema, but contained ECF in eczematous areas. The demonstration of ECF in tissue fluid suggests that this factor plays a role in the local accumulation of eosinophils at sites of certain inflammatory reactions.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of argon bombardment on silicon are interpreted as argon agglomeration, build-up of critical argon pressures, argon release from near surface regions, and sputtering.
Abstract: Blistering of silicon due to argon bombardment has been observed at implantation energies above about 100 keV. Above about 200 keV rupture of blisters becomes the predominant surface damage phenomenon. Blistering effects are most obvious upon first appearance. Further bombardment causes the occurrence of new generations of blisters accompanied by oscillations in argon content of the silicon backing. The effects are interpreted in terms of argon agglomeration, build‐up of critical argon pressures, argon release from near‐surface regions, and sputtering.

TL;DR: Findings support the hypothesis that fracture blisters can result from strain developed in the skin during initial fracture deformation.
Abstract: A biomechanical study was performed to examine a proposed mechanism of fracture blister formation. Sixty cadaver ankle skin specimens were subjected to several levels of uniaxial strain and examined histologically. Dermal-epidermal separation patterns similar to those found histologically in previous studies of biopsied fracture blisters were seen in specimens strained 152% and greater. These findings support the hypothesis that fracture blisters can result from strain developed in the skin during initial fracture deformation.

TL;DR: In this paper, an aluminum-plastic composite foil which is clamped firmly in the clamping facility of a device for manufacturing blisters is presented. But the process is such that the composite foil is pre-stretched in a first step and then shaped into a blister in a second step.
Abstract: The invention concerns device for the manufacture of blisters with high barrier properties using metal-plastic composite foils which can be deep drawn, in particular an aluminum-plastic composite foil which is clamped firmly in the clamping facility of a device for manufacturing blisters. The process is such that the composite foil is pre-stretched in a first step and then shaped into a blister in a second step.
