The impact of scoliosis surgery on pulmonary function in spinal muscular atrophy: a systematic review by Abduljabber Alhammoud (14152503)

“…Respiratory and spine-based complications were common. Given the available evidence, the following GRADE C recommendations were made: (1) surgery is most often associated with decreases in pulmonary function; (2) the impact of surgery on pulmonary function is variable, but does not improve over pre-operative baseline; (3) surgery may result in a decreased rate of decline in pulmonary function post-operatively. …”

Nanospace-engineered carbons for reversible storage of natural gas and hydrogen by Romanos, J.

“…Langmuir and Ono-Kondo analysis of CH4 excess isotherms at 295 K gives surface area (2400-2700 m2/g, agree with BET area), film thickness (~0.4 nm), saturated film density (320-440 g/cm3), and average binding energy (8-9 kJ/mol). 6.Briquetting can increase volumetric storage capacity by factor of 2 if surface area remains constant.…”
