Article Abstract
Polymer coatings are currently being employed for preservation of metal artifacts. However, there is insufficient awareness that inevitable aging of polymer coatings is bound to damage metal artifacts due to the lack of a direct and sensitive methodology to study the aging behaviors of polymers coated on the artifacts. Herein, we have developed an in situ and three-dimensional strategy to visualize the early stage aging behaviors of polymers coated on metal artifacts by lighting carboxyl groups generated from polymer aging. It is disclosed that polymer aging occurred simultaneously at the surface and the interface with metal artifacts, generating carboxyl groups and hydroxyl radicals to induce the corrosion and oxidation of metallic artifacts. In turn, the generated metallic ions could further aggravate the aging of polymer coatings, manifested as the larger volume of the aged sites at the interface with metal artifacts in comparison with that at the surface of polymer coatings. Such a circular reaction is validated using real metal artifact samples. These findings raised a timely alarm for the conservation ability and potential threat of polymer coatings on metal artifacts. It is anticipated that the proposed strategy could provide solid supports for the implementation of advanced conservation strategies for metal artifacts.

Background: Choosing the appropriate implants for reconstruction in revision TKA is essential for long-term fixation. While cones and augments are routinely utilized to address tibial defects, the effect of augment location and size on the biomechanical stability of revision TKA constructs and the indications for the use of metaphyseal cones are not known.
Questions/purposes: Is the risk of cement-implant debonding of revision TKA constructs impacted by the thickness and location (medial versus bicompartmental) of tibial augments and the presence of metaphyseal cones during (1) a demanding daily activity like stair ascent and (2) torsional loads?
Methods: Under institutional review board approval, we developed patient-specific finite-element models of revision TKA from four patients (three males and one female, ages 50 to 80 years, BMI 27 to 37 kg/m2) who underwent two-stage revision and had a CT scan with no metal artifact after first-stage implant removal.

The well-known technique of microtomy, which is an essential cutting tool, was first developed for light and transmission electron microscope uses, but it is currently also utilized to prepare specimens for atomic force microscopy (AFM), ion microscopy using a focused ion beam (FIB), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ultramicrotomy can only be used on soft substances and metals that are sufficiently ductile to be cut with a diamond knife. Before being sliced by a microtome, many soft materials must first go through numerous preparatory processes.

PurposeTo evaluate the potential of Photon-Counting Detector CT Angiography (PCD-CTA) for the assessment of carotid and subclavian artery stents compared to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and Duplex ultrasound (DUS).MethodsThis study is a single-center, retrospective analysis of consecutive patients treated with a stent for high grade stenosis of the extra-cranial carotid and the subclavian artery between April 2023 and May 2024. Polyenergetic images (PE), iodine and virtual monoenergetic images were performed at different keV levels (40 and 80) and with two body vascular reconstruction kernels (Bv56 and 72) with and without iterative metal artifact reduction.

Magnetic-field enhancement of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) represents a promising route toward more efficient alkaline water electrolyzers, yet its origin remains debated due to overlapping effects of mass transport and reaction kinetics. Here, we present a general experimental strategy that employs strong forced convection to suppress uncontrolled transport arising from natural diffusion and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. Using polycrystalline Au electrodes, we show that this approach resolves subtle OER variations under controlled flow and field conditions.
