Squalene Depletion in Skin Following Human Exposure to Ozone under Controlled Chamber Conditions

A major component of human skin oil is squalene, a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon that protects the skin from atmospheric oxidants. Skin oil, and thus squalene, is continuously replenished on the skin surface. Squalene is also quickly consumed through reac ...

Design and in vitro Characterization of a Wearable Multisensing System for Hydration Monitoring

Sandro Carrara, Ata Jedari Golparvar, Ali Meimandi, Sarah Tonello

Dehydration is a frequent condition in the elderly and can lead to serious health complications if not compensated timely. Early diagnosis can be problematic, as medical examinations in the hospital would be needed. Fully wearable low-cost multisensing dev ...

Repetitive regime of highly focused liquid microjets for needle-free injection

Christophe Moser, Paul Delrot, Jan Krizek

Fast liquid jets are investigated for use as a needle-free drug delivery system into an elastic tissue such as skin. Using smaller jet diameters in a repetitive regime can mitigate bruising and pain associated with current injectors. In this study, we aim ...

Virus transfer at the skin-liquid interface and its associated risks

Ana Karina Pitol Garcia

Infectious diseases are a leading cause of death across the world. One of the primary causes of infectious diseases are viruses. Since liquids are highly important in the transmission of viruses, the aims of this work are to i) quantify the transfer of vir ...

Cerium oxide nanoparticles, combining antioxidant and UV shielding properties, prevent UV-induced cell damage and mutagenesis

Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Fanny Caputo

Efficient inorganic UV shields, mostly based on refracting TiO2 particles, have dramatically changed the sun exposure habits. Unfortunately, health concerns have emerged from the pro-oxidant photocatalytic effect of UV-irradiated TiO2, which mediates toxic ...

Assessing human skin color from uncalibrated images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

Images of a scene captured with multiple cameras will have different color values due to variations in color rendering across devices. We present a method to accurately retrieve color information from uncalibrated images taken under uncontrolled lighting c ...

Color correction of uncalibrated images for the classification of human skin color

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

Images of a scene captured with multiple cameras will have different color values due to variations in capture and color rendering across devices. We present a method to accurately retrieve color information from uncalibrated images taken under uncontrolle ...

Model surfaces for human hair : screening perfumes and surfactants

The thesis describes the development of surfaces that model the surface of human hair in order to characterize the adsorption of detergents and perfumes. Three types of model surfaces were investigated consisting of (i) a self-assembled monolayer of protei ...
