Internal Tremor in Long COVID May Be a Symptom of Dysautonomia and Small Fiber Neuropathy by Svetlana Blitshteyn, Ilene S. Ruhoy, Lauren R. Natbony, David S. Saperstein

“…<b>Conclusions:</b> Based on this case, our clinical experience, and the limited literature available to date, we believe IT is a manifestation of POTS and SFN, which may be driven by hypovolemia, cerebral hypoperfusion, sympathetic overactivity, neuropathic pain, and mast cell hyperactivation. Subjective description, objective findings, and diagnostic and therapeutic considerations in patients with IT and Long COVID are discussed.…”

Preliminary reduction of chromium ore using Si sludge generated in silicon wafer manufacturing process by Jung W.-G., Back G.-S., Johra F.T., Kim J.-H., Chang Y.-C., Yoo S.-J.

“…In order to promote the recycling of by-product from Si wafer manufacturing process and to develop environment-friend and low cost process for ferrochrome alloy production, a basic study was performed on the preliminary reduction reaction between chromium ore and the Si sludge, comprised of SiC and Si particles, which is recovered from the Si wafer manufacturing process for the semiconductor and solar cell industries. Pellets were first made by mixing chromium ore, Si sludge, and some binders in the designed mixing ratios and were then treated at different temperatures in the 1116°C–1388°C range in an ambient atmosphere. …”
