adsorption is a fundamental process in the physicochemical treatment of wastewaters which industries employ to reduce hazardous organic and inorganic wastes in effluents. in recent years the use of low-cost adsorbents has been widely investigated as a replacement for the currently costly methods of removing heavy metal ions from wastewater. it is well-known that cellulosic waste materials can b...

the use of orange peel as low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dyes from wastewater. this paper concerns with the removal of blue 56 from aqueous solutions by orange peel. the effects of ph , initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, and particle size of adsorbent, temperature and also isotherm data analys...

Medical imaging has become an absolutely essential diagnostic tool for clinical practices; at present, pathologies can be detected with an earliness never before known. Its use has not only been relegated to the field of radiology but also, increasingly, to computer-based imaging processes prior to surgery. Motion analysis, in particular, plays an important role in analyzing activities or behav...

Echocardiography is the most common diagnostic tool to screen for Fabry cardiomyopathy as it fast, non-invasive, low-cost, widely available, easily applicable and reproducible. first-line investigation, being useful in all stages of disease: (1) gene-positive patients, unveil signs early cardiac involvement allowing timely treatment; (2) patients with overt estimate severity involvement, possib...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the role of MRI as a preoperative diagnostic tool for leiomyoma and adenomyosis. METHOD This is a retrospective chart review at a university-based hospital. The study included 1517 women who underwent hysterectomy or myomectomy over a 5-year period, and 153 women with a preoperative pelvic MRI were included. Comparisons were made between the results of the MRI and posto...

The threshold of stability (ToS) is introduced as a new tool for evaluating spinal stability. Current methods have evaluated the magnitude of spinal kinematic variability, stability diffusion, or Lyapunov exponents. This present method differs by modifying task difficulty to obtain a critical value delineating regions of stability and instability. Conceptually, as task difficulty increases, kin...

BACKGROUND The early diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis can improve clinical outcomes, in terms of morbidity and mortality. This study evaluates the role of evidence informed diagnostic reasoning in the early diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 200 respondents inclusive of doctors and medical students, at Shifa college of Medicine, Islamabad fro...

PURPOSE This systematic review updates one conducted in 2008 into extended scope practice (ESP) in physiotherapy in orthopedics. METHODS A comprehensive open-ended search was conducted using electronic library data-bases and Google Scholar to identify any primary study design reporting on physiotherapists working in ESP roles within orthopedic settings. Studies were allocated to the National ...
