Type IV endoleaks have been identified as endoleaks of low flow, and rupture risk has been estimated to be minimal in literature. Therefore, conservative treatment has been recommended in most cases. We are presenting a rare case of late rupture due to type IV endoleak that was treated with open repair applying a novel surgical technique.

This paper presents a method of calculating in a simple, cheap and computational efficient way the steady-state time variables of three-phase induction or synchronous motors when only the data of the machine and a drawn waveform of its distorted stator input are given. Such waveforms can be considered as converter output voltage or current feeding the machine. According to this method the converter part for simulation can be omitted. The method has been implemented for an induction, as well as a synchronous machine under different cases of distorted voltage waveforms in the stator. Experimental and simulation results are in good agreement. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This articles presents a rare case of accidental insertion of an intravascular catheter into an artery by an experienced nurse (RN). Due to the patient's hypotension, this faulty positioning was misdiagnosed and a potential peripheral ischemic necrosis was, fortunately, avoided only because the anesthesia drug injection was performed through another vein. Clinical signs were also present but were also underestimated. After intra-arterial confirmation of the incorrect position, the catheter was subsequently removed. No further complications were observed.
