Abstract:
A method for treating scoliosis in a patient is disclosed. The method comprises identifying a spinal column having a lateral convex curve; providing a first anchor, a second anchor, and a tether; securing the first anchor to a posterior region of a first vertebra; securing the second anchor to a posterior region of a second vertebra; securing a first tether end at a first tether connection location; and securing a second tether end at a second tether connection location. A scoliosis treatment system comprises anchors, each having a tether connection location positioned at a first location offset in a first lateral direction from a midsagittal plane of the first or second vertebra, and the anchors do not include any tether connection locations offset in in a second lateral direction, opposite the first lateral direction, from the midsagittal plane of the first vertebra or second vertebra.

Abstract:
A method for producing a high yield Kraft pulp is provided. In particular, the method involves adding a composition comprising an organic amine phosphonate and a sulphonated linear alcohol ethoxylate surfactant to a pulping process. The composition enhances the delignification of cellulosic fiber in chemical wood pulps.
Abstract:
A cellulose nanofibrils production method comprising the step of: refining pulp to produce cellulose nanofibrils with a refining plate including an aperture at least partial through one of a dam or bar on the surface of the refining plate.
Abstract:
A novel method is disclosed to make cellulose filaments (CF) from wood or other plant fibers with lower energy consumption. The method consists of multi-stage, high consistency refining, followed by low consistency refining or by low consistency, non-refining mechanical treatment, of wood or other plant fibers. The total specific refining energy for the multi-stage, high consistency refining is preferably 2, 000 - 18,000 kWh/t, and more preferably 2,000 - 12,000 kWh/t. The CF produced can be used as a superior reinforcement additive in the production of paper, tissue or paperboard and in the production of plastic composites. It can also be used as a viscosity or rheology modifier in food products, coatings or drilling muds. The CF produced can also be used to make strong films for application in packaging and in composites.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a Pickering emulsion comprising cellulose filaments. The heterogeneity of the cellulose filament material is critical and beneficial to the formation of stable emulsions. Emulsions with high stability can be prepared by controlling the CF surface properties. It is provided an emulsion comprising an internal phase dispersed in a continuous external phase and cellulose filaments located at the interface of the internal phase and the external phase, wherein the emulsion comprises 50% in volume or more of the internal phase and a method of producing same.
Abstract:
A cellulose nanofibrils production method comprising the steps of: identifying a desired level of cellulose nanofibrils pulp purity, partially refining pulp to produce a cellulose nanofibrils pulp purity between 5% and 15% less than the desired desired purity, and then separating out the cellulose nanofibrils from the longer fibers to produce the desired level of cellulose nanofibrils pulp purity.
