Mechanical shock-induced nucleation (MSIN) of crystals from aqueous supersaturated solutions ammonium chloride is reported. A simple apparatus was constructed to expose in glass vials a single impact, while images were recorded using fast camera. strong correlation between cavitation the liquid and solid revealed. The measured fraction nucleated as function impact height fitted Poisson model. m...

Primary cardiac lymphomas (PCLs) are rare in immunocompetent patients. Their clinical presentation is highly variable and in case of cardiogenic shock, death is often inevitable with a diagnosis made post-mortem. We report the case of a 65-year old immunocompetent man with cardiogenic shock requiring emergent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Soon after, a diagnosis of PCL was given a...
