Satoyoshi Syndrome with Progressive Orofacial Manifestations: A Case History Report
No full textA young female patient suffering from Satoyoshi syndrome had the first characteristic signs and symptoms of hair loss and progressive spontaneous intermittent painful spasms of limb muscles at age 6.5 years. Thereafter, she developed chronic diarrhea, amenorrhea, and skeletal deformities. In the orofacial region, she suffered from painful spasms of the masseter (jaw closing) muscles, progressive tooth loss, and degeneration of the mandibular condyles. Treatment with steroids and provision of complete dentures improved the signs and symptoms. Early diagnosis and timely provision of multidisciplinary care can minimize complications in these patients and improve their orofacial functions and quality of life.National Natural Science Foundation of China [81100771]SCI(E)ARTICLE2163-1673
Topology-Parameter Hybrid Optimization of Skewed Permanent Magnet Motor
No full textIn this study, we present a topology-parameter hybrid optimization of a permanent magnet motor with a step-skewed rotor. This optimization simultaneously performed topology optimization (TO) of the core shape and parameter optimization (PO) of the skew angle. Simultaneous optimization provides optimized motors that are superior to those obtained by parameter, topology, and sequential optimizations. Moreover, the optimized shape was shown to be robust with respect to variations in the skew angle
New Aspects of Thromboangiitis obliterans (von Winiwarter-Buerger's Disease)
No full textThe existence of thromboangiitis obliterans as a clinical entity has been a matter of debate for many years. In contrast to other immunovasculitides there is no organ involvement while peripheral vessels are affected. Heavy smokers under 40 years of age have a high predisposition for the disease. The cerebral form shows relapsing brain infarctions which can be visualized in CCT while panarteriography remains negative. Apart from unspecific inflammatory signs in blood and CSF there are distinctive laboratory findings proving the autoimmunological character of von Winiwarter-Buerger's disease. In the serum anti-elastin antibodies, IgE and anticollagen antibody activity are detectable. In 3 patients the authors detected specific immunohistochemical findings in a biopsy specimen of the temporal artery. In addition to platelet-inhibiting substances corticoids in acute and azathioprine in chronic treatment becomes necessary
