Forging Identity
An urban sociologist befriends a visionary Detroit craftsman, artist, and inventor. Over the course of the next several years Paul Draus records how Carlos Nielbock’s life experiences act as a lens that refracts the key challenges facing the city of Detroit and presents the city’s redevelopment as an evolving high-stakes drama. Combining sociological context and theory, Draus chronicles Nielbock’s mixed-race upbringing in postwar Germany, his journey to find his Black father in 1980s Detroit, his struggles with racial and cultural adversity, and his ambitious artistic vision for Detroit’s future. Direct observations, interviews, and historical research on Detroit’s ascendance, decline, and resurgence underpin Nielbock’s story. The book explores race and identity, craftsmanship and capitalism, and criminal justice and incarceration.

A43 NON-IPF ILD: CLINICAL STUDIES: Mycophenolate Mofetil Use In Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: A Retrospective Analysis
Background: The immunosuppressive agent mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has demonstrated efficacy in interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with autoimmune diseases and is also commonly used in hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) as a steroid-sparing agent. The diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis was made using a multidisciplinary consensus approach after reviewing clinical and exposure history, CT imaging, and lung biopsy when available.

The Butteris - a Farrier's Tool
Horse anti ox hooves are made of keratin, the same protein that forms human hair and fingernails. Since the early '¿Oth century, the butteris has been replaced by the hoof knife to clean the sole by removing cracked and loose material followed by use of the hoof nipper/cutter to remove excess wall material, mostly at the toe. Some manufactured butterises, such as those made by the Goodall-Pratt Company of Greenfield Massachusetts in 1922, were all metal and included removable blades, adjustable-length shanks and T-shaped shanks that provided the hand hold (Figs. 2 and 3).

The Metalworker as Social Agent: A longue durée Approach from Northwestern Iberia Atlantic Façade (Ninth–First Centuries bce)
The aim of this paper is to analyse the role of the metalworker in the northwest Iberian Iron Age. By adopting a holistic and diachronic perspective, a broad review of the influence of metalworking and its agents on the social structuring of the communities of the Atlantic seaboard is presented. With the aim of exploring the implications of metallurgy and the blacksmith's activity, a new perspective of metalworking is suggested. Thus, an exploration of perspectives beyond the technical aspects will be addressed, considering the ‘technological dimension’ as part of all the elements that define this activity. The objective of the work is to present a narrative that allows analysis of the role of the metalworker throughout different historical periods, focusing on the social, technical and symbolic dynamics that have shaped its development.

Metal that Will not Bend
In the 1980s there was a surge of trade union power in South Africa. The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) was prominent and innovative in this assertion of muscle.Metal that does not Bend traces Numsa’s accumulation, from a few small unions in a handful of factories to the staging of national strikes involving thousands of workers in auto and engineering. It examines how the union used its influence in macroeconomic and political arenas. Numsa was Cosatu’s most radical socialist affiliate, and the book explores its attempts to implement its vision. Historians have framed apartheid’s downfall as resulting from the activities of the exiled liberation movement, global anti-apartheid boycott strategies and internal township insurrection. This book reasserts the critical role of the internal labour movement.

C43 DRUG INDUCED LUNG DISEASE: CASE REPORTS: Desvenlafaxine-Induced Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis And A Literature Review Of Venlafaxine-Induced Interstitial Pneumonitis
CT chest showed a pattern of bilateral upper lobe mosaic attenuation and diffuse basilar predominant ground glass and peripheral reticular opacities with faint traction bronchiectasis suggesting non-specific interstitial pneumonia or possible hypersensitivity pneumonitis. There have been at least seven cases of drug-induced interstitial pneumonitis reported in the medical literature along with a smaller number of other venlafaxine associated pulmonary toxicities such as eosinophilic pneumonia and even asthma.

A42 NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN ILD RESEARCH: Demographic Study Of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis In Egypt: A Single Center Experience
Some cases with obscure or atypical pattern on high resolution computed tomography were subjected to lung biopsy (open or thoracoscopic) Results: A total of 118 patients were diagnosed as having Hypersensitivity pneumonitis out of 303 patients with diffuse parenchymal lung disease, presenting at the Pulmonology outpatient clinic in Kasr El-Aini hospital along one year (from first of October 2015 to first of October 2016). [...]the course of the disease showed improvement in 28 patients on corticosteroids (1/2 mg/kg prednisolone initially) with only three relapses after initial improvement and the rest necessitated adding immunosuppressant drugs due to their resistance to treatment even with higher doses of corticosteroids.
