Article Synopsis
- The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has managed the Spinal Cord Injury and Disorder Registry (VHA SCIDR) since 1994, tracking cases of US Veterans with spinal cord injuries through various data acquisition methods.
- The objective was to consolidate and harmonize three decades of historical data into an automated system while detailing the population characteristics of the identified Veterans.
- From 1994 to 2022, the registry identified 52,407 Veterans with spinal cord injuries, predominantly male (96.95%) and mostly White (56.09%), with a significant portion being traumatic injuries (53.39%).
Comparative evaluation of adsorption kinetics of diclofenac and isoproturon by activated carbon.

April 2016
Adsorption mechanism of diclofenac and isoproturon onto activated carbon has been proposed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Adsorption capacity and optimum adsorption isotherms were predicted by nonlinear regression method. Different kinetic equations, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intraparticle diffusion model and Bangham kinetic model, were applied to study the adsorption kinetics of emerging contaminants on activated carbon in two aqueous matrices.

The effect of acid treatments with HCl and HNO3 on the surface area and surface chemistry of three granular activated carbons was studied. These supports were characterized and the hydrochloric acid treatment leads to the best activated carbon support (AC2-C). The catalytic behavior of Pt, Ru and Fe (1 wt.
