Green nanostructured fluids (GNFs), specifically water‐in‐oil nanoemulsions (w/o NEs), were investigated as professional “brush on, wipe off” nanodetergents for the effective removal of various challenging graffiti coatings. The efficacy of the advanced nanodetergents in eradicating resilient graffiti coatings was evaluated using various methods to assess the surface properties of forming graffiti coatings. The surface properties of these coatings were examined by assessing their wettability by water, surface free energy, and topography to obtain information on the intermolecular interactions with the nanodetergent during the wetting and graffiti removal process. Our findings revealed significant variations in the coating removal rate and efficacy of green nanostructured fluids, which are stabilized using surfactants derived from saccharides or amino acids. A water‐in‐oil nanoemulsion, stabilized by caprylyl/capryl glucoside, demonstrated exceptional efficiency at cleaning graffiti paints based on alkyd resin and containing various additives such as nitrocellulose or bitumen, from any hard surface within a short time period. However, a w/o NE, stabilized by sodium cocoyl glycinate, also showed effective removal of graffiti paints containing durable bitumen, albeit at a slower rate on. These green nanostructured fluids can be used as specific nanodetergents for the comprehensive removal of various graffiti coatings, but require a specified action time to prevent damage to the original substrate beneath the paint coating.

“…5 Umbilical lesions have diverse causes, including Sister Mary Joseph nodules and benign entities such as incarcerated hernias and, rarely, umbilical endometriosis in patients with history of uterine surgery. 6 Sister Mary Joseph nodule is an eponymous term referring to a metastatic umbilical lesion from any primary site. In this location, in men, the most common primary malignancies are from the stomach and colon, and in women, they are the ovaries.…”

Uncommon Manifestation of Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer

et al. 2023

A 76-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer diagnosed in 2008 developed biochemical recurrence in 2010 and started intermittent androgen deprivation therapy. In 2021, due to rising prostate-specific antigen, an 18 F-piflufolastat PSMA PET/CT was performed. It showed a radiotracer-avid sclerotic lesion in the right iliac bone and an indeterminate radiotracer-avid nodule in the umbilical region, demonstrating progressive enlargement and increased uptake on subsequent imaging. Pathologic analysis of the umbilical nodule revealed metastatic prostate cancer-a finding eponymically referred to as a Sister Mary Joseph nodule.

“…6 However, a significant FDG uptake has been reported in lung endometriosis in the literature. 7,8 Increased uptake of 18 F-FDG is usually associated with malignancy, 9 but it can also be seen in benign lung lesions and inflammatory lung lesions. 10,11 In our case, 18 F-FDG PET/CT was useful to rule out malignancy of the main lesion.…”
