Argyria encompasses the different cosmetic alterations that can develop if enough silver particles deposit in a specific tissue, typically in the skin, ranging from localized dark-blue macules to a generalized slate-gray/bluish tinge following systemic absorption. This work aims to fully review the state of the art regarding pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and relevant clinical and forensic features of argyria. Argyria has been diagnosed in a wide range of ages, both sexes and varied ethnicities, with no known individual predisposing factors. Ultraviolet radiation with subsequence increases of melanin production aggravates the discoloration due to a reduction in the silver deposits. Physical examination and silver exposure in the anamnesis can be highly suggestive of the diagnosis, but a histopathological analysis with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy is required to unequivocally determine the discoloration etiology. Safe and effective treatment has only been accomplished with laser techniques, though only a few cases have been reported and with limited follow-up time. In conclusion, argyria typically has an occupational or iatrogenic etiology. It should be suspected when a patient presents with typical skin or eye lesions. A seemingly viable treatment modality, with laser technology, is finally within the horizon.

Silver Thin Films

The growth mode of silver films deposited at room temperature on TiO 2(110) surfaces has been examined by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions, On clean vacancy-free TiO 2(110) surfaces, 0.1-nm-thick (on average) Ag deposits form a two-dimensional (2D) layer. When the thickness of the silver overlayer is increased, 3D clusters are shown to appear while the 2D film is preserved, furthermore, the influence of surface oxygen vacancies on the growth of Ag/TiO 2(110) is evidenced by well-characterized differences in the morphology of 9-nm-thick silver deposits.
