However, novel silicone compounds have been developed with a distinct evaporation-based mechanism of moisture management. This uses colloidal separation to allow the passage of water vapour at a rate equivalent to normal transepidermal water loss. It has been shown to minimise MASD, increase wear time and permit atraumatic removal without the use of adhesive solvents. Trio Healthcare has introduced this technology with a range of silicone-based flange extenders and is working with the University of Bradford Centre for Skin Sciences on prototype silicone-based stoma appliance flanges designed to significantly reduce the incidence of peristomal skin complications, such as MARSI and MASD. It is hoped that this will also increase appliance wear time, reduce costs and improve patient quality of life.Leaks and peristomal skin complications are highly prevalent among people with a stoma, reported by over 80% of ostomates within 2 years of surgery. This suggests that there is room for improvement in ostomy appliances, particularly in their hydrocolloid-based adhesive flanges. Hydrocolloid has an absorptive method of moisture management that, over time, risks maceration and skin stripping, potentially leading to moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) and medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI). The newly developed Genii ostomy appliances (Trio Healthcare) use novel Sil2 Breathable Silicone Technology to provide secure, effective adhesion and manage moisture levels by replicating natural transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This has the potential to increase appliance wear time, reduce incidence of MASD and permit atraumatic removal without adhesive remover, reducing the risks of MARSI, as well as time burdens on the user and economic burdens on the healthcare system. Meanwhile, the silicone flanges and water-resistant sports fabric pouches are lightweight, flexible and unobtrusive, and they are the first appliances to be available in colours to match different skin tones, all of which provides security, comfort, confidence and discretion. This article explores the features of Sil2 and Genii ostomy appliances, with reference to preliminary data from a user evaluation.Fiona Le Ber answers some of the questions that stoma care nurses may have regarding this novel silicone adhesive based technology, which helps to avoid medical adhesive related skin injury (MARSI) and moisture-associated skin damage (MASD). Whereas hydrocolloid stoma appliances absorb moisture, this has a non-absorptive method of moisture management that prevents peristomal skin becoming damp and excoriated.We previously proposed a new virus lifestyle or yadokari/yadonushi nature exhibited by a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) virus, yadokari virus 1 (YkV1), and an unrelated double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus, yadonushi virus 1 (YnV1) in a phytopathogenic ascomycete, Rosellinia necatrix. We have proposed that YkV1 diverts the YnV1 capsid to trans-encapsidate YkV1 RNA and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and replicate in the heterocapsid. However, it remains uncertain whether YkV1 replicates using its own RdRp and whether YnV1 capsid copackages both YkV1 and YnV1 components. To address these questions, we first took advantage of the reverse genetics tools available for YkV1. Mutations in the GDD RdRp motif, one of the two identifiable functional motifs in the YkV1 polyprotein, abolished its replication competency. Mutations were also introduced in the conserved 2A-like peptide motif, hypothesized to cleave the YkV1 polyprotein cotranslationally. Interestingly, the replication proficiency of YkV1 mutanor its replication. The active RdRp must be cleaved by a 2A-like peptide from the C-proximal protein. Cesium chloride equilibrium density gradient centrifugation allowed for the separation of particles, with YnV1 capsids solely packaging YkV1 dsRNA and RdRp. This study provides proof o
