In 1957, Brock 1 described 3 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of which one of these patients had previously been hypertensive.

F W. Brock understood strabismus better than any other individual, yet most vision care professionals have never heard of his work. If they do recognize his name, it is probably in association with the Brock string. That is how I first heard of Dr. Brock. I was a 48-year-old patient in optometric vision therapy who had been esotropic since early infancy. Although I had undergone three childhood...

In Anlehnung an den politischen Aschermittwoch darf es beim psychiatrisch-neurologischen der BGPN etwas weniger wissenschaftlich und meinungsstärker pointierter zugehen. diesem Jahr war mit über 80 Zuhörern randvoll im Hörsaal Nervenklinik Charité Mitte, was dem besonderen Format, brillanten Pro- Contra-Rednern einem Thema, das Publikum ganz offensichtlich unter Nägeln brannte, geschuldet war. ...
