Figure 2. Raman spectra of Mg(BH(D)4)2 (in red) and LiBH(D)4 (in blue). Upper curves: deuteride, lower curves: hydride. The asterisk indicates a band resulting from residual diethyl-ether. Figure 5. Structure of Mg(BH4)2 viewed along the hexagonal b axis, showing two unit cells. Red (partially transparent) tetrahedra are BH4units; Mg atoms in blue. Considering the cations as A and the tetrahedr...

Figure 1: Postoperative lateral chest X-ray showing the excellent alignment following short fixation, a chest tube to drain a pleural effusion, the cement leakage (arrow) and the vertebral reinforcement material (asterisk). The mechanism of the embolism was probably a vascular entry of cement during high pressure inflation to get the compressed vertebral separated. Figure 2: CT image: we can ob...

As usual, R denotes the field of real numbers, R" stands for the n-dimensional vector space over R, a prime denotes the transpose of a matrix, an asterisk denotes the complex conjugate transpose of a matrix, and P _ Q means that P — Q is hermitian or real symmetric nonnegative matrix. Square brackets represent matrices composed of the symbols inside. In order to get a better motivation for the ...

A 60-year-old man with a history of myelofibrosis presented with breathing difficulty. Although echocardiography, which had been performed eight months previously, revealed normal findings (Picture 1A), the left ventricular apical cavity was found to be covered with an abnormal structure (Picture 1B, asterisk). A diagnosis of Löffler’s endocarditis was made based on the patient’s peripheral eos...

Figure S1. Distance mapping of glycosidic linkages of lgt1/4Δ OS using NOE distances as upper restraints. A van-der-Waals distance of 1.8 Å is used as a lower distance restraint which results in some areas that are not accessible (shown in light grey). For composite NOEs—marked with an asterisk (*)—the calculated virtual distance is used as upper restraint and 1.6 Å—the virtual distance when bo...

DOI: 10.5935/abc.20160045 A 21 year-old male patient was admitted with symptoms of exertional dyspnea and palpitation. The physical examination revealed a grade 3/6 systolic murmur, best heard over the left 3-4th intercostal space. Transthoracic echocardiography disclosed a separate chamber (asterisk) in the interventricular septum. The apical portion of the chamber consisted of muscle tissue a...

A 57-year-old patient presents with a large mass at the right groin two months after cryoballoon-guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) (Fig. 1, left panel). A pseudo-aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery is seen on CT with a small, encapsulated active bleeding region (asterisk) surrounded by a large haematoma (arrow, Fig. 1, right panel). The pseudo-aneurysm of our patient was clinically m...
