Targeted keratin repair: A plant‐based approach to hair strength and surface restoration

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Application of Avena strigosa seed extract may reinforce keratin bonding, restoring hair fibre integrity by promoting intramolecular interactions at damaged sites of keratin proteins. Abstract Objective Chemical and thermal stress disrupts the intramolecular and intermolecular interactions that stabilize hair keratin, leading to structural degradation ...

Influence of Tapered‐End and Round‐End Bristle Designs on the Abrasive Enamel Wear Using Toothpastes With High Discrepancies in Abrasiveness

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of bristle end design of toothbrushes and the relative enamel abrasivity (REA) of used toothpaste on the resulting abrasive enamel wear. Materials and Methods A total of 160 bovine enamel samples were allocated into eight groups (n = 20) and surface topography was recorded

Successful treatment of persistent macular holes using "heavy silicone oil" as intraocular tamponade

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Silicone oil tamponade has been suggested in the treatment of persistent macular hole, but visual outcome is often poor. We describe two patients who underwent reoperation for persistent macular hole using "heavy silicone oil" (HSO) tamponade.

Effectiveness of nonsurgical therapy of peri‐implant mucositis: A systematic review

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This systematic review intends to respond to the question: “How do clinical parameters change in implants affected by peri‐implant mucositis following different non‐surgical treatment approaches or no treatment in patients monitored for a minimum of six months?” Materials and Methods A search for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) or

Compact Tubular Dielectric Elastomer Pump for Indoor Plants

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 25, July 5, 2026.
This study develops a mountable rolled dielectric elastomer pump (MRDEP) using silicone films and MWCNT‐based electrodes. The MRDEP is completely soft, silent in operation, and easily mounted on a piping system. We use dry stacking methods, fabricate a multilayer dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), and a pre‐straining process in one direction before ...

Rejuvenated Amorphous Alloys: Processing Methods, Microstructures and Mechanical Properties

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 33, 15 June 2026.
Three rejuvenation methods – mechanical and thermal rejuvenation, and other rejuvenation routes such as ultrasonic processing – can be used to modify structures of glassy alloys, especially atomic clusters, and therefore enhances plasticity and activates work‐hardening behaviors.
