Echobiometric evaluation of the axial length of the eye and intraocular lens calculation in pseudophakic eyes: our experience.

Intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in 46 pseudophakic eyes (extracapsular cataract extraction with IOL in posterior chamber), utilizing a Javal keratometer, a Sonomed A 2000 echobiometer (probe 10 MHz, velocity=1,548 m/s) and the SRK2 formula, although there was a statistically significant reduction of the axial length, both in normal and hyperopic eyes, demonstrated no statistically significant differences of IOL power, when compared to the power previously calculated in the phakic eye.

[Neutrality, bisexuality and androgyny of the psychoanalyst].

Proceeding from the fact that Western thought is based on Greek philosophy, the author pinpoints a feature specific to psychoanalysis. Unlike other sciences, which are grounded in the central (and latently homosexual) relation of rhetoric and dialogue between teacher and pupil, psychoanalytic dialogue centers around a heterosexual (male/female) relationship. Prototypic for this is the confrontation of the psychoanalyst with the "complex burden of female love". The fascination of philosophy lies in similarity, that of psychoanalysis in difference. The gender question, and more specifically the sex of the analyst, has been given little attention in connection with the transference/countertransference paradigm. With a discussion of the concepts of neutrality (Freud), bisexuality (Freud, Jung) and with reference to literary sources on androgyny (V. Woolf, Balzac, Le Guin) Molfino undertakes the attempt to take the gender discussion in psychoanalytic theory and practice a stage further.
