Abstract
Phenolic compound even at low concentrations, are considered to be priority pollutants due to their significant toxicity. Electrospinning was used to create a polyacrylonitril (PAN) nanofiber, which was then impregnated with graphene oxide (GO). After a preliminary investigation into the electrospinning parameters (e.g., using various voltages and polymer concentrations), the electrospun nanofibres were tuned, this study evaluated the effectiveness of these materials in removing phenolic compounds from wastewater through adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to analyze the synthesized nanofiber mats. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the structure of nanofiber mats was altered by the addition of graphene oxide (GO) in different ratios. Specifically, the surface of the fibres exhibited increased roughness, and the diameter of the fibres also experienced an increase. The average diameter of the fibres was measured to be (134.9 ± 21.43 nm) for the PAN/2.5% GO composite and (198 ± 33.94 nm) for the PAN/5% GO composite. FTIR spectra of the PAN/GO nanocomposites nanofiber displayed distinct peaks associated with graphene oxide (GO). These included a wide peak at 3400 cm-1, related to the presence of hydroxyl (O-H) groups, as well as peaks on 1600 as well as 1000 cm-1, which indicated the existence of epoxy groups. In this study response surface methodology (RSM) was implemented. To enhance the efficiency of removing substances, it is necessary to optimise parameters such as pH, contact time, and dosage of the adsorbent. The optimum pH for removing phenol via all nanofiber mats was determined to be 7, while at a dose of 2 mg dose adsorbents maximum removals for pure PAN, PAN/2.5 GO, and PAN/5 GO were 61.3941, 77.2118, and 92.76139%, respectively. All the adsorbents obey Langmuir isotherm model, and the empirical adsorption findings were fitted with the second-order model kinetically, also non-linear Elovich model. The maximal monolayer adsorption capacities for PAN, PAN/2.5 GO, and PAN/5 GO were found to be 57.4, 66.18, and 69.7 mg/g, respectively. Thermodynamic studies discovered that the adsorption of phenol on all adsorbents nanofiber mats was exothermic, the adsorption of phenol on nanofiber mats decreases as the temperature increases. All the adsorbents exhibit negative enthalpy and entropy. The PAN/GO composite's superior phenol removal suggested that it could be used as a latent adsorbent for efficient phenol removal from water and wastewater streams.

Abstract
As a bone tissue engineering scaffold, the objective of this study was to design hierarchical bioceramics based on an electrospun composite of carbon nanofibers (CNF) reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) and bioactive glasses (BGs) nanoparticles. The performance of the nanofiber as a scaffold for bone tissue engineering was enhanced by reinforcing it with hydroxyapatite and bioactive glass nanoparticles through a hydrothermal process. The influence of HA and BGs on the morphology and biological properties of carbon nanofibers was examined. The prepared materials were evaluated for cytotoxicity in vitro using the water-soluble tetrazolium salt assay (WST-assay) on Osteoblast-like (MG-63) cells, and oste-ocalcin (OCN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, total calcium, total protein, and tar-trate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP) were measured. The WST-1, OCN, TRAcP, total calcium, total protein, and ALP activity tests demonstrated that scaffolds reinforced with HA and BGs had excellent in vitro biocompatibility (cell viability and proliferation) and were suitable for repairing damaged bone by stimulating bioactivity and biomarkers of bone cell formation.

Abstract
Biodegradable cellulose nanocrystals hydrogels (CNCsH) were synthesized from cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) which were prepared from office wastepaper (OWP) by a chemical crosslinking method using epicholorohydrin (ECH) as a cross-linker. CNCsH were tested for their swelling behavior and biodegradability and the point of zero charge had been determined. The ability of CNCsH for removing the Acid Red 8 (AR8) anionic dye from its aqueous solution was evaluated. The different parameters affecting removal of the dye, such as pH, initial concentration of dye, content of CNCs, temperature and adsorbent dosage were investigated. The optimum conditions for 68% removal efficiency were pH = 1, initial concentration of dye = 10 ppm, contact time = 105 min, CNCs content = 5% and CNCsH dosage = 0.5 g at 30 °C. The adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamic parameters have been studied. The results showed an appropriate fit for Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetics model with an adsorption capacity of 17.12 mg/g. According to the obtained values of thermodynamic parameters, the removal of Acid red 8 by CNCs hydrogels was exothermic spontaneous process.

Abstract
Electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNFs), which were modified with hydroxyapatite, were fabricated to be used as a substrate for bone cell proliferation. The CNFs were derived from electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers after two steps of heat treatment: stabilization and carbonization. Carbon nanofibrous (CNF)/hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocomposites were prepared by two different methods; one of them being modification during electrospinning (CNF-8HA) and the second method being hydrothermal modification after carbonization (CNF-8HA; hydrothermally) to be used as a platform for bone tissue engineering. The biological investigations were performed using in-vitro cell counting, WST cell viability and cell morphology after three and seven days. L929 mouse fibroblasts were found to be more viable on the hydrothermally-modified CNF scaffolds than on the unmodified CNF scaffolds. The biological characterizations of the synthesized CNF/HA nanofibrous composites indicated higher capability of bone regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To predict the added value of diaphragmatic and lung ultrasound indices (US) in anticipation of the outcome of mechanical ventilation of pediatric patients in the intensive care unit. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in Zagazig University, Pediatric Hospitals, PICU; Egypt. One hundred six mechanically ventilated children aged between 1 mo to 170 mo were included in the study. All patients were candidates for weaning and have been given a chance for spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), during which diaphragmatic and lung US was performed for them. The diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF), the diaphragmatic excursion and the lung US score (LUS), that included 4 US aeration forms, were assessed. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences between patients with failed weaning and those with successful weaning regarding DTF, diaphragmatic excursion and LUS (p < 0.001). The best cut-off value of DTF, diaphragmatic excursion, and LUS for predicting weaning failure was ≥23.175%, ≥ 6.2 mm, and ≥ 12 with an AUC (area under curve) of 0.932, 0.876, and 0.934, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Diaphragmatic and lung US add a quick, accurate and non-invasive indices to the weaning readiness parameters compared to the other standard parameters alone. So, it is recommended to be added to the predictive parameters of weaning outcome.

Abstract
Critical size bone defects are orthopedic defects that will not heal without intervention or that will not completely heal over the natural life time of the animal. Although bone generally has the ability to regenerate completely however, critical defects require some sort of scaffold to do so. In the current study we proposed a method to obtain a carbon nanofibrous/Hydroxyapatite (HA) bioactive scaffold. The carbon nanofibrous (CNF) nonwoven fabrics were obtained by the use of the electrospinning process of the polymeric solution of poly acrylonitrile "PAN" and subsequent stabilization and carbonization processes. The CNFs sheets were functionalized by both hydroxyapatite (HA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The HA was added to the electrospun solution, but in case of (BSA), it was adsorbed after the carbonization process. The changes in the properties taking place in the precursor sheets were investigated using the characterization methods (SEM, FT-IR, TGA and EDX). The prepared materials were tested for biocompatibility via subcutaneous implantation in New Zealand white rabbits. We successfully prepared biocompatible functionalized sheets, which have been modified with HA or HA and BSA. The sheets that were functionalized by both HA and BSA are more biocompatible with fewer inflammatory cells of (neutrophils and lymphocytes) than ones with only HA over the period of 3weeks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish the efficacy and safety of nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy versus trabeculectomy in primary open-angle glaucoma. DESIGN Prospective randomized trial. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-nine patients (78 eyes) with bilateral primary open angle glaucoma were included in the study. INTERVENTION Eyes were randomly assigned to receive deep sclerectomy in one eye and trabeculectomy in the other eye. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Mean intraocular pressure (IOP), postoperative medications, visual acuity, success rate, and complications. RESULTS At 12 months, mean IOP reduction was 12.3 +/- 4.2 (sclerectomy) versus 14.1 +/- 6.4 mmHg (trabeculectomy) (P = 0.15), and an IOP </= 21 mmHg was achieved in 36 (92.3%) and 37 eyes (94.9%) (P = 0.9), respectively. Complications included three (7.7%) flat/shallow anterior chambers and one (2.6%) hypotony (trabeculectomy), whereas internal iris incarceration was encountered in two eyes (5.1%) (sclerectomy). CONCLUSIONS Deep sclerectomy may provide comparable IOP reduction with fewer complications in management of primary open angle glaucoma.

INTERVENTION For each patient, one eye received LASIK and the other received PRK. The first eye treated, and surgical method in the first eye, were randomized. Both eyes were treated by the same surgeon during the same operative session with a Summit Omnimed I laser (6-mm-diameter ablation) and a Chiron Automated Corneal Shaper. Follow-up was 90% at 1 and 2 years. RESULTS At baseline, mean (+/-standard deviation) spherical equivalent manifest refraction was -4.80 +/- 1.60 D in LASIK-treated eyes and -4.70 +/- 1.50 D in PRK-treated eyes. At 1 day after surgery, 81% of patients (21 eyes) reported no pain in the LASIK-treated eye, whereas no patient (0%) reported being pain-free in the PRK-treated eye. At 3 to 4 days after surgery, 18 (80%) LASIK-treated eyes either improved or remained within 1 line of baseline spectacle-corrected visual acuity; only 10 (45%) PRK-treated eyes achieved this result. At 2 years after surgery, 18 (61%) LASIK- and 10 (36%) PRK-treated eyes achieved an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20 or better, with no statistically significant difference in refractive outcome between the two techniques. Quantitative videokeratography showed more regularity after LASIK. Complications were similar in the two groups. Patients preferred LASIK by a margin of 2 to 1 at 1 year but showed no preference at 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Using a 6-mm-diameter single-pass, large area ablation and an automated microkeratome to treat myopia of -2.50 to -8.00 D with 1.00 D or less astigmatism in 1994, the authors used LASIK to produce a higher percentage of eyes with an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20 or better, more regular postoperative corneal topography, less postoperative pain, and more rapid recovery of baseline spectacle-corrected visual acuity than PRK. Both LASIK and PRK achieved successful correction of low-to-moderate myopia at 1 and 2 years after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Molteno implant is one of the most widely used drainage devices for the management of complicated glaucoma. Antiproliferative agents such as mitomycin-C (MMC) have markedly improved the outcome of glaucoma filtering surgery. This case control study compares the results of these two techniques in the management of high-risk glaucoma patients. METHODS Forty-three consecutive patients with complicated glaucoma who underwent glaucoma filtration surgery with intraoperative application of 0.3 mg/ml of MMC were matched with a control group of 43 glaucoma patients who previously had tube surgery using a single-plate Molteno drainage implant in most of the cases. Control patients were matched based on diagnostic group of glaucoma, the number of prior filtration surgeries, and patient age. All patients had a minimum follow-up time of 12 months. RESULTS Intraocular pressure (IOP) +/- 21 mm Hg was achieved 6 months postoperatively in 34 patients (79.1%) with Molteno implant and in 38 (88.4%) treated with MMC (p < 0.2), and 12 months postoperatively in 26 (60.5%) and 35 (81.4%) patients, respectively (p < 0.03). Complications after Molteno implant included hypotony (20.9%), flat anterior chamber (11.6%). tube-cornea touch (6.9%), and tube exposure (4.7%); after MMC, hypotony occurred in 6.9% and flat anterior chamber in 2.3% CONCLUSIONS A significantly greater reduction in IOP was noticed in MMC-treated eyes 12 months postoperatively. Complications occurred more frequently in the Molteno-treated eyes. Filtration surgery with adjunctive MMC therapy seems to have a higher benefit/risk ratio in the management of highrisk glaucoma.
