Anorexia is a very common manifestation of disease. Cats that are eating ravenously present less of a diagnostic dilemma, as there is a shorter list of illnesses that result in increased appetite (diabetes, hyperthyroidism, pancreatic insufficiency and a few others).
The fragments that survive the journey through the analyzer shoot into the electron multiplier-the detector of the GCMS. The electron multiplier detects every ion of the selected mass that passes through the quadrupole analyzer. Electron multipliers use a process known as secondary electron emission. When the ions hit a surface, it causes the electrons in the outermost area of the atom to be released, which are known as secondary electrons.
Electron capture (K-electron capture, also K-capture, or L-electron capture, L-capture) is a process in which the proton-rich nucleus of an electrically neutral atom absorbs an inner atomic electron, usually from the K or L electron shell.imple electron capture results in a neutral atom, since the loss of the electron in the electron shell is balanced by a loss of positive nuclear positive charge.
