1. INTRODUCTION

The introduction in 2016 of a novel Potassium Ferricyanide (K₃[Fe(CN)₆]) based tabletop microscopy method enabled for the recording of electromagnetic energy emissions from plants and animal tissue Scherlag et al. (2016). This microscopy method was subsequently validated Embi (2022) and used as tool in introducing biological inter-tissue energy exchanges from both, human blood, and the ubiquitous enzyme catalase with a hair follicle Embi (2020), Embi (2018).  As of recent in vitro research using hair follicles as sentinels support expanding the hypothesized intracellular endogenous irradiation theories in cancer genesis introduced in 1956 and 2016 Harman (1956), Embi (2016) to include non-biological xogenous material irradiation from hydrocolloid based wound dressings (WD). Videos and still images are presented validating the findings of energy emitted by a small fragment of a hydrocolloid based WD penetrating a 1mm glass slide and unexpectedly delaying the evaporation time of a Potassium Ferricyanide crystals of formula K₃[Fe(CN)₆] in solution surrounding a freshly plucked human hair follicle.  A most interesting property of K₃[Fe(CN)₆] is the total absorption of incoming electromagnetic radiation (EMRs) Figgis et al. (1969), Baranov et al. (2015); therefore, the presence of an incoming EMR when encountering K₃[Fe(CN)₆] in solution causes a delay in the ongoing crystals formation. The changes attributed to incoming radiation in a human hair follicle placed within the energy cone a WD fragment penetrating a 1 mm glass slide is at the core of this presentation. The addition of energy from an exogenous non-biological material, namely a hydrocolloid wound dressing fragment justifies inclusion in future research protocols.

2.2. Methods         

The hydrocolloid wound dressing (WD) material was cut into small fragments with a width of approximately 4 mm and 15 mm in length. The adhesive strip was taped onto a clean 25x75x1mm glass slide. A second like slide placed covering the WD strip, thus creating a sandwich (SDW). On the top slide surface of the SDW crystals were placed and diluted by two to three drops of water, a freshly plucked scalp human hair was aligned with the shadow of the WD. Please refer to (Figure 1), and images A, B and C below.

A narrow strip of wound dressing (WD) was adhered to a single clean slide (size 25 x 75 x1mm), at this time a second slide was placed on top; thus, creating a sandwich (SDW). On the top slide of the SDW two drops of K₃ [Fe (CN)₆] were placed, a previously freshly plucked human hair was situated and maneuvered via toothpick to be near the WD right shadow’s edge. The diluted K₃ [Fe (CN)₆] crystals and hair are now at a vertical distance of 1 mm from the WD. The two-slide preparation was allowed to evaporate, still images and video-recordings taken for further analysis.

Additional Details

For simplicity in some areas in the text the acronym K3Fe will substitute the Potassium Ferricyanide formula K₃[Fe(CN)₆]

On top slide surface dilute a “pinch” * of K₃[Fe(CN)₆] crystals (A below) in two to three drops of water. Mix crystals with toothpick until in solution, then place on slide a previously freshly tweezer plucked scalp human hair. Gently maneuver hair with toothpick until optimal position (B below). Optimal defined as hair follicle near hydrocolloid shadow now at 1mm vertical distance. Place B in video-microscope, observe and record changes until C (K3Fe) has totally evaporated.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

The diluted drops on a slide must be plumb level, this to avoid unwanted liquid shifting on slide. In the experiments herein presented, notice a left sided placement of the WD; this to compensate for a slight surface inclination.

 

3. RESULTS

A total of four in vitro experiments were done, all detected a disruption of human hairs follicles electromagnetic radiation as interpreted from the dissapearance of semicircular concentric K3Fe precipitated crystals circumventing the follicle. Example of a “normal” image is seen in (Figure 2) below.

4. DISCUSSION 

In the text, Figure 2, Figure 3 when compared with Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6 show the stark contrast between a “normal” hair follicle’s energy emission and when the follicle is subjected to a “yet to be named” energy source emitted by a hydrocolloid dressing fragment.  Based on previously published results using a novel tabletop microscopy published in 2016 relying on a property of K₃[Fe(CN)₆] of total absorption of incoming energy; control images have documented the human hair follicle as a biological entity emitting energy (Figure 2). This emission was described as consequence of the “Inherent electromagnetic forces emanating from human hairs”; subsequent research using the technique identified the hair follicle as sentinel for drugs evaluation Embi (2020), Embi (2020) to the transdermal teleportation of hair follicles energy , up to the interesting  documentation of energy emitted by dead tissue Embi (2022) amongst others.

The hair follicle has been classified as a miniorgan Schneider et al. (2009) having its own intrinsic metabolism, cell divisions and an energy emitter. In this manuscript an unknown (yet to be named) energy source from a hydrocolloid wound dressing is shown to cause noticeable changes in hair follicles energy emissions. Of interest, is that only when the hair follicle is placed very near or on a wound dressing strip shadow placed at 1 mm distance is that the energy emissions are compromised (Exhibit I).

 

5. Question Arises:

Q: What are the implications of a hydrocolloid wound dressing energy being transferred onto human tissue?

A: Unknown at present. In this manuscript energy emitted by a small fragment of a comercially available hydrocolloid dressing (DuoDerm) is shown to inhibit a human hair follicle emissions of electromagnetic waves as recorded using a solution of Potassium Ferricyanide (K3Fe). The inhibition was rationalized by observing a marked decrease in K3Fe crystals surrounding the follicle. As aforementioned K3Fe absorbs incoming electromagentic radiation.

Further research is warranted.
