Brine-Induced Tribocorrosion Accelerates Wear on Stainless Steel: Implications for Mars Exploration by Javier Martín‐Torres, María‐Paz Zorzano‐Mier, Erik Nyberg, Abhilash Vakkada-Ramachandran, Anshuman Bhardwaj

“…Tribocorrosion is a degradation phenomenon of material surfaces subjected to the combined action of mechanical loading and corrosion attack caused by the environment. Although corrosive chemical species such as materials like chloride atoms, chlorides, and perchlorates have been detected on the Martian surface, there is a lack of studies of its impact on materials for landed spacecraft and structures that will support surface operations on Mars. …”

Trabeculectomy versus stepwise treatment for breaking the attack of acute primary angle closure in patients with long attack duration: study design and protocol for a multicentre r... by Jing Jiang, Qing Zhang, Bo Qu, Chao Dai, Mingguang He, Ye Zhang, Ning-Li Wang, Shuning Li, Guangxian Tang, Su Jie Fan, Zhi Li, Chi Liu, Xinqi Chang, Yanyan Cheng

“…The patients will be followed up for 1 year after initial treatment.Main outcomes and measures The primary outcome is logMAR BCVA 1 year post initial treatment. Secondary outcomes consist of complete success rate in breaking the attack, intraocular pressure value, mean deviation on Humphrey visual field testing and vision-related quality of life collected using the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (25 items) 1 year post initial treatment.Trial registration number ChiCTR2200057289.…”

Prospective Study on Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Thickness Changes in Isolated Unilateral Retrobulbar Optic Neuritis by Gordon S. K. Yau, Jacky W. Y. Lee, Patrick P. K. Lau, Victor T. Y. Tam, Winnie W. Y. Wong, Can Y. F. Yuen

“…The baseline RNFL thickness was similar in the attack and fellow eye (P≥0.4). At 3 months, the attack eye had a thinner temporal (P=0.02) and average (P=0.05) RNFL compared to the fellow eye. …”
