2022
Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is a murine experimental model of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). CHS is based on sensitization with reactive hapten by painting the shaved skin of the chest and abdomen, with a subsequent ear skin challenge with a diluted hapten, causing a swelling reaction that is assessed in various ways.

When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces. The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive force...

In this video, we describe the larval contact assay to evaluate the toxicity of the dopamine receptor antagonist amitriptyline on the third instar stage larvae of mosquitoes, known vectors of several human infectious diseases. Assessing the larval mortality upon incubation with different amitriptyline concentrations over different time intervals helps determine its lethal concentration 50.

Current in vitro models for evaluating contact lenses (CLs) and other eye-related applications are severely limited. The presented ocular platform simulates physiological tear flow, tear volume, air exposure and mechanical wear. This system is highly versatile and can be applied to various in vitro analyses with CLs.
FAQs
Clinicians combine the patient’s medical history with reported symptoms and other findings to develop an informed clinical assessment. That assessment can shape decisions about diagnosis, testing, treatment planning, referral, or follow-up. Because each element contributes to the overall picture, accurate information gathering helps connect the patient’s current concerns with appropriate next steps in care.
Communication allows clinicians and patients to exchange symptoms, findings, explanations, and decisions, while documentation preserves what was discussed and chosen. Together, these processes create a usable account of care rather than an isolated interaction. The record can support continuity, help coordinate services, and provide information for later evaluation of care and outcomes.
The contact format changes how information is gathered and how care is delivered. In-person encounters may include examination, whereas telephone and digital systems support communication without that same setting. Across formats, clinicians can still gather history, discuss findings, plan treatment, arrange referral, or monitor progress, provided the contact captures the information needed for care.
A clinical contact commonly progresses through information gathering, evaluation of symptoms and findings, communication with the patient, and documentation of decisions. Depending on the purpose, the process may also include examination, testing, referral, treatment planning, or follow-up arrangements. These elements organize the interaction and link the patient’s concerns to a documented care plan.
Follow-up contact is used when care requires attention over time rather than a single decision. Clinicians can review ongoing symptoms or findings, communicate updated information, document decisions, and adjust plans when appropriate. Monitoring through later contacts helps maintain continuity and gives the clinical record information for evaluating how care progresses.
Consistency makes information from separate contacts easier to connect across a patient’s care. Documented histories, findings, communications, and decisions can help coordinate services among providers and preserve the rationale for subsequent actions. Over time, these records also support evaluation of outcomes and can contribute to efforts to improve how healthcare is delivered.
