Nail polish can be considered under the category of personal care products and cosmetics. According to a study on allergic contact dermatitis, the face and neck were the most commonly affected sites for patchy dermatitis secondary to exposure of acrylates in acrylic nails.4,6,7

The antitumor efficacy of a medical-grade cyanoacrylate adhesive MK-8-based composition with prospidin has been studied by Chissov et al.,134 and the kinetics of the drug elimination have been followed up in a rat model. The findings showed a prolongation of the relapse-free period and a longer survival of the experimental animals. Clinical trials of the composition carried out in 70 patients with esophageal carcinomas showed local disseminated forms in 52 patients. Application of the adhesive composition has not increased the rate of postoperative complications; in some cases, the life span of patients after palliative surgery was considerably longer. In a study by Pérez et al.135 using an N-butyl-2-cyano acrylate-based tissue adhesive, Tisuacryl, as a nonsuture method for closing wounds in oral surgery involving apicectomy, molar extractions, and mucogingival grafting, the adhesive was well tolerated by the tissue and permitted immediate hemostasis and normal healing of incisions.

According to the literature, acrylates have been extensively applied as a shell material because of their excellent compatibility with all types of paraffin. The enthalpy values of microcapsules were influenced by two factors: core-to-shell ratio and amount of crosslinking agent. This paper focuses on improving such parameters to improve the enthalpy values of the n-tetradecane PCMs microcapsule, which will be used in the cold storage sector to assess temperature change. We optimised three parameters to achieve the highest enthalpy value in this experiment: crosslinker percentage, core-to-shell ratio weight fraction, and initiator concentration. The produced microcapsules’ structural, morphological, and thermal properties were evaluated. In the cold storage industry, these microcapsules have a wide range of applications.
Methyl methacrylate and respiratory sensitisation: a comprehensive review
Published in Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2022
There was low confidence in the other clinical evidence (case studies, national surveillance data and SIC tests) for a combination of overlapping reasons. One of the primary weaknesses in these data is the lack of a comprehensive worker exposure history on which to base identification of the causative agent(s). In many cases there is clear evidence of selection and reporting bias reflecting a priori conclusion of causation by MMA. The characteristic smell of MMA and other meth(acrylates)may play a significant role in this respect. In some cases, this was further compounded by imprecision in the description of the chemistry involved and the clustering of acrylates, methacrylates and cyanoacrylates, without regard to their very different physical and chemical properties, and biological reactivity. In this respect, ECHA R.7a and clinicians (Shofer et al. 2006; Parhar et al. 2011; de Olim et al. 2015; Vandenplas et al. 2014, 2017) highlight the importance of making accurate exposure assessments both in the workplace and during SIC. Failure to follow this guidance prohibits any level of confidence in the assertion of a work-related pattern of disease causally related to a specific substance(s) and exclusion of non-specific irritation from SIC tests.

In a review of the Eversense CGM system by Cowart [27] and in the white paper by Deiss et al. [28], it was suggested that the criteria used for patient selection for other real-time CGMs should apply to Eversense. In addition, Cowart identified additional characteristics of those likely to benefit from the implantable Eversense system. These included (i) patients who perceive frequent sensor replacement a burden (ii), patients who would benefit from on-body vibration alerts (iii), those with a history of skin problems or oversensitivity to adhesives such as isobornyl acrylate (iv), those with a need for transient removal of external devices (e.g. patients with a high level of physical activity) (v), those with physical limitations (visual, hearing, dexterity), or (vi) those with a pain or needle phobia.
