Prevalence of prescribing topical corticosteroids to patients with lichen sclerosus following surgery for vulvar cancer: a survey among gynaecologic oncologists in The Netherlands by Féline O. Voss, Karelina L. Groenewegen, Hester Vermaat, Maaike C.G. Bleeker, Marc van Beurden

“…If treatment was initiated, ultra-potent (class IV) TCS were most commonly prescribed for an indefinite period of time for both patient groups. The most reported reason for treating patients in both groups with TCS was symptoms, followed by clinical aspects of the lesion and prevention of progression to dVIN and VSCC.Conclusion The majority of GOs who participated in our study endorse the utilisation of long-term ultra-potent TCS therapy in both patients with LSnoVSCC and LSVSCC. …”

Development and Application of Well-Test Model after Injection Biological Nanomaterials by Qing Feng, Ping Gao, Xianchao Chen, Jiang Li, Jingchao Zhou, Feng Qian, Shengsheng Li, Yanni Sun, Yingying Wang

“…In practical application, they have the advantages of long validity period and more environmental friendliness. At the same time, due to the short effective period of conventional plugging removal measures such as acidizing and fracturing, which are not friendly to the environment, nanomaterials are gradually applied to reduce pressure and increase injection of injection wells, and good application results are obtained. …”

Enhancing the targeted and untargeted analysis of honey by vacuum-assisted SPME-GC × GC-MS. A green, practical, and highly informative approach by Damien Eggermont, Francesca Pardi, Giorgia Purcaro

“…The use of vacuum-assisted headspace (Vac-HS) coupled with solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a technique that has been recently proven to be highly beneficial for enhancing the extraction of semi-volatile in shorter time and milder temperatures. This technique indeed increases the extraction kinetics by reducing the mass transfer resistance at the interface between the sample and headspace. …”
