In 1927, Selmar Aschheim and Bernhard Zondek developed the first biological pregnancy test by urine hormone detection. This so-called Aschheim-Zondek-reaction was a practical application of their research about the effects of anteropituitary hormones (gonadotrophin) on the female sexual organs and pregnancy. Life and scientific merits of these two gynecologists working in Berlin until 1933 are demonstrated. Due to their Jewish extraction, they had to leave their duties and finally Germany during National Socialism.
1927年,塞尔玛·阿施海姆和伯恩哈德·宗德克通过检测尿液中的激素研制出了首个生物妊娠试验。这种所谓的阿施海姆-宗德克反应是他们关于垂体前叶激素(促性腺激素)对女性性器官及妊娠影响的研究的实际应用。展现了这两位在1933年前于柏林工作的妇科医生的生平及科学功绩。由于他们的犹太血统,在纳粹统治期间,他们不得不离职,最终离开了德国。
