Abstract:
Clinical ImpactFracture of a proximal sealing stent ring is a rare complication following fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR). Even rarer can a proximal stent ring fracture with dislodgement and widespread retroperitoneal dissemination of nitinol fragments. This rare complication, which may manifest as transient abdominal pain, could result in severe clinical sequalae. Therefore, plain abdominal radiography should be considered in patients post-FEVAR presenting with epigastric or abdominal pain to assess stent integrity.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Mass Spectrometry: Amine Fragmentation
In amines, the number of nitrogen atoms affects the mass of the molecular ion, which is described by the nitrogen rule of mass spectrometry. This rule states that a compound containing a single...
Mass Spectrometry: Cycloalkane Fragmentation
For example, cyclohexane molecular ions have a mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of 84, which tends to produce a stronger signal than linear alkanes like hexane. This stability comes from...
