Introduction: Aortitis can be an initial presentation of many diseases, but most often include large cell vasculitis.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 53 year old female who presented with a myriad of symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, fever, and headaches. CT scan of the chest showed an inflamed aorta with an initial concern for a large cell vasculitis, but found later to be from her underlying acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Discussion/conclusion: Our case emphasizes the importance of aortitis being the initial presentation of a multitude of diseases including malignancy. It remains important, especially for rheumatologists, to consider blood cancers when presented with aortitis.
Background/introduction: Aortitis can be an initial presentation of many diseases, but most often include large cell vasculitis. We describe a case of aoritis being the initial presentation of AML.

Computer Simulation of Sulfated Cyclodextrin-Based Enantioselective Separation of Weak Bases With Partial, High-Concentration Filling of the Chiral Selector and Analyte Detection on the Cathodic Side.
Electrophoresis

Institute for Infectious Diseases, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Computer simulation was utilized to characterize the electrophoretic processes occurring during the enantioselective capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) analysis of ketamine, norketamine, and hydroxynorketamine in a system with partial filling of the capillary with 19 mM (equals 5%) of highly sulfated γ-cyclodextrin (HS-γ-CD) and analyte detection on the cathodic side. Provided that the sample is applied without or with a small amount of the chiral selector, analytes become quickly focused and separated in the thereby formed HS-γ-CD gradient at the cathodic end of the sample compartment. This gradient broadens with time, remains stationary, and gradually reduces its span from the lower side due to diffusion such that analytes with high affinity to the anionic selector become released onto the other side of the focusing gradient where anionic migration and defocusing occur concomitantly.

Background/objectives: Anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCLs) present unique challenges due to their clinical and genetic heterogeneity. This study investigated the clinical characteristics of children diagnosed with systemic ALCL.
Methods: Retrospective data from 14 pediatric patients diagnosed with systemic ALCL at Valme University Hospital were studied.
Keyhole decompression surgery for holospinal epidural abscess: a novel approach for spinal stability preservation.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba, 260-8670, Japan.
Purpose: Spinal epidural abscesses are rare yet serious conditions, often necessitating emergency surgical intervention. Holospinal epidural abscesses (HEA) extending from the cervical to the lumbosacral spine are even rarer and present significant challenges in management. This report aims to describe a case of HEA with both ventrally-located cervical and dorsally-located thoracolumbar epidural abscesses treated with a combination of anterior keyhole decompression and posterior skip decompression surgeries.
