Organo endocrino adiposo 2020: stato dell’arte

Impaired scotopic vision in adiposo-genital dystrophy.

IMPAIRMENT of dark adaptation was found frequently to occur in various endocrine disturbances of the genital function, and has been reported by us previously (Landau and Bromberg, 1950; Landau and Polishuk, 1948; Landau, Eckerling, and Polishuk, 1951; Landau and Bromberg, 1954). Disturbed scotopic vision was observed in the majority of patients suffering from pituitary or ovarian amenorrhea, in...

A Case of Dystrophia Adiposo-Genitalis

Organo-fluorine chemistry III

It is a pleasure to introduce the 3rd in the series of Thematic Issues on organo-fluorine chemistry for the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry (BJOC). These series have become progressively more successful over time in terms of the number and quality of the contributions received. It is also pleasing to note that the profile and impact factor of the journal has increased steadily over this ...

Quantification of stato-kinetic dissociation by semi-automated perimetry

The difference in threshold sensitivities that are found when examining the visual field (VF) with static versus kinetic perimetric methods is called stato-kinetic dissociation (SKD). In this pilot study, we describe a semi-automated procedure for quantifying SKD. Fifteen patients with VF defects were examined with kinetic and static perimetry. SKD values were defined as positive when the stati...

Organo-fluorine chemistry II

It is a pleasure to be able to introduce this second Thematic Series on ‘organo-fluorine chemistry’ within the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry. The series now embeds the subject firmly as a special interest area of the journal. The first series in 2008 presented contributions representing a wide range of organic fluorine chemistry [1-10] and this series continues that trend exploring the...
