Letter to the editor: "Effect of electrical stimulation on the fusion rate after spinal surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis".

This letter provides feedback on the article Effect of electrical stimulation on the fusion rate after spinal surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. The study highlights the clinical efficacy of electrical stimulation (ES) in enhancing fusion rates post-surgery. Future research should focus on identifying optimal ES parameters, long-term safety profiles, and its personalized application based on genetic and metabolic factors.

Identification of suitable catalyst among HZSM-5, HY and γ-AlO to obtain upgraded pyrolysis oil with augmented liquid oil yield.

This study examines catalytic ability of various zeolite materials in converting discarded tire pyrolyzed oil by employing a moderate sized pyrolysis plant of a 10 L working volume. The study revealed that the yield of liquid fractions using γ-AlO was greater than that of HZSM-5 and HY, while the yield of condensates were limited in the absence of catalyst. The tire waste pyrolysis oil catalytcially enhanced by alumina catalyst analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy exhibited the stretching bands corresponding to aromatic and non-aromatic compounds.

Catalytic biodiesel production from Jatropha curcas oil: A comparative analysis of microchannel, fixed bed, and microwave reactor systems with recycled ZSM-5 catalyst.

In this study, we studied the conversion of Jatropha curcas oil to biodiesel by using three distinct reactor systems: microchannel, fixed bed, and microwave reactors. ZSM-5 was used as the catalyst for this conversion and was thoroughly characterized. X-ray diffraction was used to identify the crystalline structure, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis to determine surface area, and temperature-programmed desorption to evaluate thermal stability and acidic properties.

Recent advances in waste-derived carbon dots and their nanocomposites for environmental remediation and biological applications.

The surging demand for eco-friendly nanomaterial synthesis has spurred the emergence of green approaches for synthesizing carbon dots (CDs). These methods utilized natural carbon sources, such as different kind of waste for CDs synthesis, underscoring their significance in waste management and circular economy initiatives. Furthermore, the properties of CDs can be tailored by their functionalization with different materials, enabling their versatile utilization in diverse scientific domains.
