    Immune-Driven Mechanisms in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Critical Synthesis
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2026) Tuzun, Erdem; Yetimler, Berrak
    Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is increasingly recognised as a complex disorder characterized by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), with evidence suggesting contributions from dysregulated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics as well as metabolic, endocrine, and neurovascular mechanisms. IIH predominantly affects women of reproductive age who are living with obesity. Clinically, IIH may be asymptomatic or present with severe headaches, visual disturbances, and papilledema, with a risk of visual impairment in some untreated or refractory cases. Although the etiopathogenesis of IIH remains unclear, emerging evidence from metabolic and immunological studies suggests that immune-mediated mechanisms may contribute to disease pathophysiology. In this review, we synthesize current literature on the potential contribution of the immune system to IIH, integrating findings across obesity-associated inflammation, circulating cytokine profiles, comorbid inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, and markers of neuroglial stress and injury. We summarize converging data suggesting that IIH may, at least in part, be influenced by a pro-inflammatory milieu that affects CSF dynamics. While available studies highlight intriguing immunological signals, the underlying mechanistic pathways remain poorly resolved. Larger, longitudinal, and mechanistically grounded investigations are needed to clarify causality, identify relevant immune subtypes, and determine whether immune modulation may offer therapeutic opportunities in IIH.

    Effects of Strain Rate and Post Processing on Mechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg Alloys
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2026-01-12) Karaveli, K.K.; Bal, B.
    The mechanical properties of AlSi10Mg alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) were investigated under different strain rates and post-processing conditions, including shot peening (SP) and stress relief (SR). Tensile tests were performed at quasistatic (0.1 s−1) and dynamic (0.015 s−1) strain rates on as-built and post-processed specimens. The results revealed that SP significantly increased the yield strength by 7.10 %, reaching 249.59 MPa, due to the induced compressive residual stresses. However, while SP slightly improved the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) by 0.25 %, it also reduced elongation at break by 18.06 %, indicating a trade-off between strength and ductility. Conversely, SR improved ductility by reducing internal stresses, leading to an elongation at break increase of 574.01 %, with a slight reduction in yield strength. The combination of SP and SR exhibited a synergistic effect, achieving a balance between strength and ductility. Strain rate sensitivity (SRS) analysis indicated that stress-relieved specimens performed better under dynamic loading conditions. These findings highlight the potential of post-processing techniques in tailoring the mechanical behavior of LPBF-produced AlSi10Mg alloys. The balanced properties achieved through combined treatments make this material particularly suitable for high-performance aerospace and automotive applications, where strength and ductility are critical under varying operational conditions. © 2025 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.

    A QoS Provisioning Architecture of Fiber Wireless Network Based on XGPON and IEEE 802.11ac
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2021-01-12) Mohammadani, Khalid Hussain; Butt, Rizwan Aslam; Ali, Kamran Ali; Pirzado, Azhar Ali Ayaz; Faheem, Muhammed Yasir; Abro, Adeel; Ain, Noor Ul; Memon, Kamran A.
    The integration of the XGPON network with the 5G WLAN network is a suitable solution for next-generation high-speed access Internet service. We demonstrated the integration of two different standards via the QoS concept. Further, this work also presents a proper mapping scheme of QoS traffic between XG-PON and fifth-generation Wi-Fi standards known as IEEE 802.11ac. The analysis assessment compares the behavior of different IEEE 802.11ac standards with XGPON with-respect-to multimedia traffic in the FiWi network. To assess the performance of the FiWi network, the OMNET++ and INET framework are used to carrying out a comparative analysis in terms of upstream (US) delay and fairness index. The study concludes that the EDCA Wi-Fi module has better performance than the DCF Wi-Fi module with the integrated XGPON system for the FiWi access network. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
