Central nervous system vasculopathy caused by Fabry disease: a case report.

Background: Fabry disease is rare, and the diagnosis is often delayed. Here, we describe a case of Fabry disease resulting in vasculopathy of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance (MR) black-blood sequence (three-dimensional T1 volumetric isotropic turbo spin echo acquisition), with the unique advantage of imaging the vascular wall, facilitated a clear identification of the vasculopathy.

Entropy Analysis of Temperature Swing Adsorption for CO Capture Using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Method.

Carbon capture by adsorption is supposed to be an effective method to reduce CO emissions, among which Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) can utilize low-grade thermal energy even from renewable energy source. At present, TSA technology still has several challenges to be practical application, such as intensive energy-consumption and low energy-efficiency. Thermodynamics could be a powerful method to explore the energy conversion mechanism of TSA, among which entropy analysis could further provide a clear picture on the irreversible loss, even with a possible strategy of energy-efficient improvement.
