THE INFLUENCE OF THE THERMAL REDUCTION TEMPERATURE ON THE STRUCTURE AND ELECTROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF REDUCED GRAPHENE OXIDE FILMS by Denis Yu. Kornilov

“…A content difference of elements (C, H, N) in studied samples, and both graphene structure defectiveness and sheet resistance decrease, are found to be proportional to a reduction temperature increase. A GO films thickness decrease during a heat treatment is also observed, which is presumably associated with a functional GO groups loss while thermal reduction. …”

Comparative efficacy of mind–body exercise for pain, function, quality of life in knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis by Kaixia Gao, Jinmeng Tao, Guangyuan Liang, Chen Gong, Lin Wang, Yuling Wang

“…Result A total of 38 studies (N = 2561) were included, with 38 for pain, 36 for physical function, and 12 for QoL in the NMA. With moderate-certainty, both Pilates and TC showed significant improvements in pain reduction [Pilates: standardized mean difference (SMD) =  − 1.19, 95% confidence intervals (95% CI): − 1.92 to − 0.46; TC: SMD =  − 0.78, 95% CI − 0.97 to − 0.59] and physical function (Pilates: SMD =  − 1.37, 95% CI − 2.13 to − 0.50; TC: SMD =  − 0.85, 95% CI − 1.08 to − 0.63) compared to the usual care group, while TC [SMD =  − 0.57, 95% CI = (− 1.07 to − 0.06)] showed statistically significant efficacy in improving QoL compared to the usual care group. …”
