HIV-assoziierte Neuritis des Nervus vestibulocochlearis. Fallbeschreibung und systematische Literaturanalyse der HIV-assoziierten Polyneuropathien
No full textDie Polyneuropathien sind Komplikationen der Infektion mit dem Human-
Immunodeficiency-Virus (HIV). Dazu gehören Polyradikulopathien, distale (sensible)
Polyneuropathien, Mono- und Oligoneuropathien und brachiale Neuritiden. Selten
gibt es Formen, die sich nicht kategorisieren lassen. In dieser Dissertation
präsentieren wir einen aussergewöhnlichen Fall einer bilateralen Neuritis des Nervus
vestibulo-cochlearis (N. vestibulocochlearis). In einer ausgedehnten
Literaturrecherche ist das erst der dritte beschriebene Fall. Gleichzeitig wurde die
Literaturrecherche genutzt, um epidemiologische, klinische und laborchemische
Parameter der HIV-assoziierten Polyneuropathien zu analysieren. Dazu wurden
Daten von 539 Patientinnen aus 67 Publikationen extrahiert und ausgewertet. Die
Daten wurden bezüglich ihrer Qualität gewertet, um den Schlussfolgerungen eine
Gewichtung zu geben. Die Literaturanalyse ergab, dass die meisten Daten zu HIVassoziierten
– und bezüglich antiretroviraler Therapie (ART) naiven –
Polyneuropathien von afrikanischen Patienten stammen. Die meisten europäischen
und nordamerikanischen Studien zu diesem Thema wurden vor 1996 publiziert.
Polyradikulopathien präsentieren sich typischerweise früh und distale (sensible)
Polyneuropathien spät in der HIV-Krankheit. Das Guillain-Barré-Syndrom war das
häufigste Krankheitsbild der Polyradikulopathien. Die häufigste Präsentation distaler
Polyneuropathien sind Sensibilitätsausfälle an den unteren Extremitäten. Bei den
Mono- und Oligoneuropathien hat ein Grossteil der Personen Mononeuropathien,
wobei der N. facialis am häufigsten betroffen ist. Die Rolle der ART zur Erholung der
Neuropathien konnte nicht beurteilt werden. Unter den HIV-assoziierten
Polyneuropathien haben die distalen (sensiblen) Polyneuropathien die schlechtere
und die Polyradikulopathien und Mono- oder Oligoneuropathien die bessere
Prognose bezüglich Erholun
DESIGN FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING – MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION AND GEOMETRICAL OPTIMIZATION
No full textAdditive manufacturing (AM) is a more and more appreciated manufacturing technology. This growing interest is related to the high flexibility of this approach and its capability to produce any geometry, opening new possibilities. An example is the improvement of the system performances exploiting lattice and reticular in substitution to the traditional solid design. Despite this premise, in real applications, part of the benefits is lost due to the inferior performances of the AM steels and the higher costs of additive manufacturing. In this scenario, the mechanical properties of a 17-4 PH SS produced via additive technology were characterized with experimental tests. The results were compared with data concerning the cast material. In this way, it was possible to execute a quantitative evaluation of the performance reduction. Three components, such as a hip prosthesis, a blow plastic bottle die, and an automotive gear, were chosen as representative examples. These three mechanical components are typically produced in quite different batch sizes. The hip prosthesis, the blow plastic bottle die, and the automotive gear were redesigned (design for AM) via a finite element (FE) approach. The new designs fulfill the original requirements in terms of strength showing however improved inertial properties. The original and new designs were exploited to quantify the benefits of introducing AM in different applications

No full textDESIGN for ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING: IS IT AN EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE? PART 1 - MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION and GEOMETRICAL OPTIMIZATION
No full textAdditive manufacturing (AM) is becoming a more and more widespread (and trendy) approach. Its flexibility and capability to manufacture any topology has opened new possibilities: AM could lead to significant performance improvements thanks to the exploitation of lattice or reticular structures as partial replacement of the traditional solid design. The potential of this technology knows no bounds. However, in the real world, the lower performances of the materials and the high manufacturing costs significantly restrict the fields of application for which the adoption of AM results effective. In this context, the mechanical static and fatigue properties of a 17-4 PH stainless steel produced via AM were experimentally measured and compared with those of the wrought material to quantify the performance reduction. Based on these data, three components, namely a hip prosthesis, a blow plastic bottle die, and an automotive gear were selected as representative examples to show the pros and contra of AM. The three components were chosen because they belong to three quite dissimilar fields and are produced in different batch sizes. The three original designs were specifically optimized for AM by means of finite element (FE) simulations. The new solutions fulfil the strength requirements of the original parts showing at the same time reduced weights and inertias. The traditional and new designs were compared in terms of production times and costs to quantify the real benefits of AM for different applications

No full textI Think I Am Philip K. Dick
No full textFor years, noted writer Laurence A. Rickels often found himself compared to novelist Philip K. Dickthough in fact Rickels had never read any of the science fiction writers work. When he finally read his first Philip K. Dick novel, while researching for his recent book The Devil Notebooks , it prompted a prolonged immersion in Dicks writing as well as a recognition of Rickelss own long-documented intellectual pursuits. The result of this engagement is I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick , a profound thought experiment that charts the wide relevance of the pulp sci-fi author and paranoid visionary. I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick explores the science fiction authors meditations on psychic reality and psychosis, Christian mysticism, Eastern religion, and modern spiritualism. Covering all of Dicks science fiction, Rickels corrects the lack of scholarly interest in the legendary Californian author and, ultimately, makes a compelling case for the philosophical and psychoanalytic significance of Philip K. Dicks popular and influential science fiction.Intro -- Contents -- Introjection -- Part I -- Endopsychic Allegories -- Schreber Guardian -- Belief System Surveillance -- Part II -- Deeper Problems -- Veil of Tears -- Go West -- Dick Manfred -- Timing -- Glimmung -- Part III -- Spiritualism Analogy -- Imitating the Dead -- Indexical Layer -- Ilse -- Hammers and Things -- Crucifictions -- Over There -- Martyrology -- Can't Live, Can't Live -- Lola -- Umwelt, Mitwelt, and Eigenwelt -- Outer Race -- The German Introject -- Part IV -- Materialism, Idealism, and Cybernetics -- Startling Stories -- A Couple of Years -- Android Empathy -- Homunculus and Robot -- ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD.
