Most NMR samples are cylindrical, which is ideal for obtaining high-resolution NMR spectra, especially in superconducting magnets with a vertical bore. However, expanding NMR applicability to samples that are not necessarily cylindrical requires a new approach. In this study, we introduce a method for obtaining solution NMR signals from flat samples, such as flat containers or layered structures like a fuel cell.

Subsequently, we review the clinicopathologic features of 20 patients with CLN13 reported in the literature.
Methods: Data and imaging were obtained from the patient's medical records.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the progression of Fabry disease in young children, focusing on those under 5 years old and their genetic variations.
- Data was collected over five years from 40 participants (mostly male) to track their symptoms, revealing that children with classic pathogenic variants (CFD) commonly experienced gastrointestinal issues and heat intolerance starting around 23.4 months of age.
- The findings emphasize the early symptoms and their consistent onset in children with CFD, while those with nonclassic variants displayed more variable symptoms.
A 58-year-old man presented with alcohol-induced acute pancreatitis. Imaging revealed complete necrosis of the pancreatic parenchyma. After initial non-operative management, the patient developed a duodenal ulcer and an upper gastrointestinal bleed and later spontaneously formed a fistula between the pancreas and the first segment of the duodenum.

- - The text discusses a rare complication called pseudoaneurysm that can occur in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) after cardiac surgeries, particularly in a 3-month-old infant with tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia.
- - The patient was critically ill with septic shock and very high pressure in the right ventricle, requiring urgent treatment to avoid high-risk surgery.
- - The successful management involved using a Gore VBX balloon expandable covered stent to exclude the pseudoaneurysm and stenting the pulmonary arteries to relieve pressure, highlighting the importance of recognizing this condition and available treatment options.
