Als Sprecherin am OLG Munchen kommunizierte Andrea Titz unter anderem die spektakularen Wirtschaftsstrafverfahren um FC-Bayern-Boss Uli Hoenes und Formel-1-Chef Bernie Ecclestone. Damit war sie das Gesicht, das Justiz verstandlich machte: Gab es wirklich keinen Deal fur Uli Hoenes? Warum sonst musste er nur die Halfte seiner Strafe absitzen? Und hat sich Ecclestone freigekauft? An den meisten Verhandlungstagen standen Titz, die eigentlich Richterin ist, eine Meute von Pressevertretern gegenuber – auf der Jagd nach druckreifen Schlagzeilen. Gemeinsam mit Franziska Seusing spricht sie uber ihre Zeit als Deutschlands bekannteste Gerichtspressesprecherin.

This report, the first of two, arose from a one-week workshop directed at discussing concepts of immune regulation, and focuses on immunological tolerance. We first outline the major ideas we thought sufficiently plausible to provide a context for discussing more controversial issues around tolerance. We then report on our discussion of different experiments that appear paradoxical in terms of the different, contemporary models of CD4 T cell inactivation/activation, and how such observations might be resolved in terms of insights provided by these contemporary models. These discussions bear on the plausibility of the Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMP), Danger and Two Step, Two Signal Models for the activation of naïve CD4 T cells. Some of the observations considered appear paradoxical in terms of the PAMP and Danger Models, but not with the Two Step, Two Signal Model. For example, genetically immunodeficient mice have been given foreign, sterile ectopic grafts, and the immune system allowed to develop once these grafts were well-healed in, and so in the absence of PAMPs or danger. The grafts were rejected, unexpected on the PAMP or Danger Models. We also discussed considerations and observations bearing on the widely held idea that antigen must crosslink the membrane Ig receptors of a B cell to initiate the generation of signal 1, or the alternative possibility that monovalent binding by antigen can do so. We favored the latter possibility, and discussed a particular model, "the Elbow Model," for how this might be achieved.

To analyse and compare the effects during Herbst treatment combined with a lingual (completely customized) or labial (straight-wire) multibracket appliance (MBA), with special regard to lower incisor gingival recessions. Eighteen Class II:1 patients [overjet ≥ 5mm, Class II molar relationship ≥ 0.5 cusp widths (CW) bilaterally or 1.0 CW unilaterally, median age 16.0 years] treated with a Herbst appliance in combination with a lingual MBA (group LINGUAL) were retrospectively matched (molar relationship and skeletal maturity) to 18 Class II:1 patients treated with a Herbst appliance combined with a labial MBA (group LABIAL). Study models and intraoral photographs from before and after treatment were evaluated regarding occlusal variables and gingival recessions. Lateral cephalograms from before, during (before and after Herbst), and after treatment were analysed to assess lower incisor changes. Both groups showed similar reductions of overjet (5.4/5.6mm), overbite, (2.9/2.7mm) and sagittal molar relationship (0.9/0.8 CW). During the Herbst phase, the changes in lower incisor inclination and incisal edge position were significantly smaller in the LINGUAL than in the LABIAL group (iiL/ML: +7.0/+12.7degrees, P = 0.002; ii-MLppg: +2.5/+3.9mm, P = 0.004). For the total treatment period, no significant differences were found (iiL/ML: +5.3/+8.6degrees; ii-MLppg: +2.1/+2.4mm). No clinically relevant gingival recessions were seen. Both treatment approaches successfully corrected the malocclusion. The group LINGUAL exhibited significantly less proclination during the Herbst phase only. Neither treatment approach induced deleterious gingival recessions.

Oil and gas are raw materials—the availability of which is prognosticated to run short in the near future. The peak oil discussion is an example generally perceived as proof of this development to come.

Based on Heinrich von Kleist’s drama Penthesilea and a clinical case, this study seeks to demonstrate a theoretical concept that is developed and identified as the anti‐oedipal condition. This state involves a regressive insistence on suffocating any form of oedipal maturation and, with it, any form of genital–sexual desire; it damages, even destroys, any form of intellectual–creative curiosity. A specific form of defensive organization, the anti‐oedipal condition, is sought out when psychic development, when oedipal–genital maturation requires re‐establishing contact with a sort of inner terra cremata, an emotional domain that once had been supposed to be eliminated due to catastrophic experiences that could not be integrated. This defensive organization dominated Kleist’s Amazons as well as Miss M. What happened first in both instances was a regression to and fixation at the anti‐oedipal condition, but the paths leading out of this incapsulation were antipodal.

Die Strahlentherapie stellt eine wirksame Behandlungsvariante der Kopf-Halskarzinome dar. Dies sowohl als Teletherapie (pra- oder postoperativ) als auch in Form der sogenannten Brachytherapie wie z.B. die interstitielle Radiotherapie im „after loading“-Verfahren (siehe Kapitel „Radiotherapie von Kopf-Hals-Karzinomen“) [1].
