Citric Acid Based Pre-SEI for Improvement of Silicon Electrodes in Lithium Ion Batteries

Silicon electrodes are of interest to the lithium ion battery industry due to high gravimetric capacity (∼3580 mAh/g), natural abundance, and low toxicity. However, the process of alloying and dealloying during cell cycling, causes the silicon particles to undergo a dramatic volume change of approximately 280% which leads to electrolyte consumption, pulverization of the electrode, and poor cycling. In this study, the formation of an ex-situ artificial SEI on the silicon nanoparticles with citric acid has been investigated. Citric acid (CA) which was previously used as a binder for silicon electrodes was used to modify the surface of the nanoparticles to generate an artificial SEI, which could inhibit electrolyte decomposition on the surface of the silicon nanoparticles. The results suggest improved capacity retention of ∼60% after 50 cycles for the surface modified silicon electrodes compared to 45% with the surface unmodified electrode. Similar improvements in capacity retention are observed upon citric acid surface modification for silicon graphite composite/ LiCoO2 cells

Treating pediatric plaque psoriasis: challenges and solutions

Jayakar Thomas,1 Kumar Parimalam,2 1Department of Dermatology, Sree Balaji Medical College, Bharath University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India; 2Department of Dermatology, Villupuram Medical College, Villupuram, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract: Psoriasis is a T-lymphocyte-mediated chronic inflammatory disorder involving the skin and joints. Nearly 3.5% of the population has been diagnosed to have psoriasis. In a dermatology department, almost one-third of psoriasis patients are in the pediatric age group. With an annual prevalence of up to 0.71%, childhood psoriasis can now be regarded as a frequently seen chronic inflammatory skin disorder having a significant impact on the quality of life. Based on the age of onset, psoriasis in children can be broadly classified as infantile psoriasis that can be mostly self-limited, psoriasis having an early onset, which needs specific treatment, and psoriasis that is associated with arthritis. Treating a child with psoriasis is a challenge, considering the physical development, body metabolism, rate of cutaneous absorption, and metabolism of drugs, which are quite different from those of the adults. The long duration of sun exposure for the rest of their life makes it more demanding while considering phototherapy in children. Long-term treatment of psoriasis, with phototherapy or drugs, needs critical evaluation in children. Hence, a thorough understanding of the disease in all its aspects will certainly help manage childhood psoriasis better. Timely diagnosis and adequate management not only arrest progression but also minimize the psychological burden caused by the disease, averting disfiguring states and evolution into a metabolic syndrome.

Clinico radiological correl arthropathy-A prospective study

Abstract Psoriatic arthropathy [PsA] is one of the common seronegative spondyloarthropathies. an association between psoriasis and joint involvement first made when, apart from the clinical findings, diagnosis of PsA was based mainly on conventional radiography. In the recent times, imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and ultrasonography [USG] have been increasingly used in the diagnosis and management of PsA. . The interpretations provide additional clues to the pathogenesis of this progressive and sometimes mutilating disease. A positive radiological finding usin can detect the pathology much earlier. As is well agreed upon, early detection of articular and peri will help timely initiation of appropriate th joint destruction. USG ismore effective than X ray and less expensive than and having more or less equal diagnostic potential as MRI. USG is areliable investigatory tool freely av diagnosis and follow up of patients with Ps

Rhino cerebral mucormycosis in systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem connective tissue disease. Patients with SLE develop cutaneous infections due to immune dysregulation and treatment with immunosuppressive agents. Deep fungal infections are rare in SLE but are important cause of morbidity. We report a case of successfully treated rhino cerebral mucormycosis (RCM) in a female patient with SLE
