Novel technique for inline orientation of disarticulated limbs to seal type III endoleaks.

In this report, we present a novel maneuver used to align disarticulated limbs to resolve a type III endoleak. The patient, a 77-year-old man, initially underwent endovascular abdominal aortic repair for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm in 2017. During routine annual duplex ultrasound in 2022, a late type III endoleak was identified.

At-home urine pregnancy test assessment after mifepristone and misoprostol for undesired pregnancy of unknown location.

Objectives: The ideal assessment after mifepristone and misoprostol for undesired pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) is unknown.

Study Design: We prospectively followed patients at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts (2019-2021) with PUL who received immediate mifepristone and misoprostol with serial at-home urine pregnancy tests (UPT) and in-office serum HCGs.

Results: Of 13 patients, 10 had a successful medication abortion.

Advance notice of contraceptive availability at surgical abortion: a pilot randomised controlled trial.

Background: With advance notice about the availability and effectiveness of contraceptive methods, abortion patients have more time and information for decision-making. We assessed the impact of an informational telephone call prior to the surgical abortion visit on patient contraceptive knowledge.

Methods: This was a pilot randomised controlled trial.

Real-time dynamics of string breaking.

We study the real-time dynamics of string breaking in quantum electrodynamics in one spatial dimension. A two-stage process with a clear separation of time and energy scales for the fermion-antifermion pair creation and subsequent charge separation leading to the screening of external charges is found. Going away from the traditional setup of external static charges, we establish the phenomenon of multiple string breaking by considering dynamical charges flying apart.
