    LH-RH test in Bartter's Syndrome before and during treatment with prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors

    No full text
    LHRH tests were performed in two children with Bartter's syndrome before and during treatment with prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors. Before treatment, in patient 1 both basal and peak FSH and LH levels were elevated; in patient 2 basal and peak FSH levels were above the normal range, while basal and peak LH levels were normal. During treatment with an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, abnormal values decreased into the normal range. These results support a possible role of endogenous prostaglandins in regulating gonadotrophin secretion in humans

    Introduction to "Knowledge, Morals and Practice in Kant’s Anthropology"

    No full text
    In the Introduction, the editors begin by sketching an overview of recent scholarship on Kant’s anthropology in order to provide a framework for the contributors’ essays. Broadly speaking, this scholarship falls into two categories: historical work on the origins of Kant’s anthropology and conceptual work on its relation to other parts of his philosophical system. They conclude by offering a brief summary of each of the nine essays in the volume

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
