A case of hemorrhagic shock in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1.

Complications of neurofibromatosis type 1 include fatal bleeding events due to vascular fragility. In this case of hemorrhagic shock due to a neurofibroma, the bleeding was controlled using an occlusion balloon and endovascular treatment which stabilized the patient. Systemic vascular investigation for bleeding sites is important to prevent fatal outcomes.

System Composed of Three Types of Electronic Angular Momenta: A J-S-L Triad in a Photoexcited π-Radical Bis(phthalocyaninato)terbium Single-Molecule Magnet.

Interactions of three different types of electronic angular momenta, namely, spin, orbital, and total angular momenta from different origins in a photoexcited neutral bis(phthalocyaninato)terbium single-molecule magnet (PcTb, where Pc denotes a phthalocyaninato anion) have been studied. We have conducted varied-temperature and varied-magnetic-field magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) measurements on the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital electronic transition in the ligand side of the neutral PcTb to reveal the quantum nature of the system composed of a π-radical with a spin angular momentum S, the 4f system with a total angular momentum J, and the cyclic π conjugate system with a photoinduced orbital angular momentum L. We have constructed a new theoretical model that gives a quantitative agreement to the temperature and magnetic field dependence of MCD.

Selective Stabilization of the Spin States of a Magnetically Anisotropic Dysprosium Ion Induced by Photo-Excitation of the Associated Cyclic π-Conjugated System.

The presence of a new electronic interaction, which couples a 4 f-electronic system with a total angular momentum J and a photoexcited cyclic π-conjugated system with an orbital angular momentum L, in the bis(phthalocyaninato)dysprosium single-molecule magnet ([DyPc ] ) is reported. Two π-π* excited states in the visible spectral region of the [DyPc ] complex, which are denoted here as Q and Q , showed significantly different temperature and field dependences of the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) A-term intensity. This phenomenon not only indicates the presence of a "J-L" interaction, but also that the interaction generates two different preferred orientations of the J-L pair, either parallel (for the Q band) or antiparallel (for the Q band), depending on the excitation energy.
