ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783540336808
Binding: Hardcover


This outstanding volume in the Essentials in Ophthalmology series presents recent developments in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal disease. Its intention is not to replace the relevant textbooks, but to serve as a bridge between primary and tertiary literature.
This well-structured volume covers the following main topics: Herpes simplex keratitis. -Amniotic membrane transplantation for the treatment of corneal ulceration in infectious keratitis. -Chlamydial infection. -Chronic blepharitis. -New aspects on the pathogenesis of conjunctival melanoma. -Confocal microscopy of malignant tumors of the ocular surface. -Management of ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid. -Classification of corneal dystrophies on a molecular genetic basis. -Phototherapeutic keratectomy in corneal dystrophies. -Fuchs endothelial dystrophy. -The topical nerve growth factor in the treatment of severe surface disorders. -The intracorneal ring for penetrating keratoplasty. -Developments in corneal preservation. -Corneal substitutes for transplantation.

Recent Advances In Retinal Degeneration






Recent Advances In Retinal Degeneration (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)
By Robert E. Anderson, Matthew M. LaVail, Joe G. Hollyfield




  • Publisher: Springer

  • Number Of Pages: 424

  • Publication Date: 2007-12-18

  • ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0387749020

  • ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780387749020

  • Binding: Hardcover





Book Description:


Retinal Degenerations is the result of The International Symposium on Retinal Degeneration which has become perhaps the most important research meeting in the field. The topics in this volume explore the etiology, cellular mechanisms, epidemiology, generics, models and potential therapeutic measures for the blinding diseases of retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration.
Special focus is highlighted in the areas of Mechanisms of Photoreceptor Degeneration and Cell Death (extremely important because very little is known how or why photoreceptors die in these diseases, despite an abundance of genetic information), Age-Related Macular Degeneration (with several novel approaches to its analysis), Usher Syndrome (the most severe form of retinitis pigmentosa, which includes an early of congenital loss of hearing along with blindness), and Gene Therapy. In addition, the section on Basic Science Related to Retinal Degeneration is particularly strong with several laboratories reporting on new discoveries in the area of outer segment phagocytosis, a key component of photoreceptor-retinal pigment epithelial cell interactions in normal and degenerating retinas.

Neuro-Opthalmology

Neuro-Opthalmology





Springer | ISBN:380558251X | Edition - 2007-02-26 | PDF | 198 pages | 3.3 MB | Rapidshare & Megaupload

All motor behavior is characterized by sensory inputs causing specific motor reactions. Because humans modify motor reactions voluntarily or through experience, this input-output relation is more complex in humans than in lower vertebrates. Eye movements provide a window on fundamental brain function, not only for topographic diagnosis of dysfunctions but also for the comprehension of normal brain function. This book highlights basic mechanical properties of eye movements, explains the neuronal basis of the vestibular-ocular reflex, saccadic eye movements, smooth-pursuit eye movements, and vergence eye movements, and deals with their pharmacological manipulation in disorders. Since precise measurement of motor reactions is essential for understanding the oculomotor system, one chapter critically discusses current registration methods, and another one considers the possibilities and limitations of modeling it by control theory methods. Its comprehensive characterization of eye movements and their relation to brain function makes this publication essential reading to ophthalmologists, neurologists, and clinical neuropsychologists.

Atlas of Fundus Autofluorescence Imaging

Atlas of Fundus Autofluorescence Imaging


Publisher:Springer | Pages:342 | 2007-10-01 | ISBN: 3540719938 | PDF | 9.29 MB

During recent years, FAF (Fundus autofluorescence) imaging has been shown to be useful in various retinal diseases with regard to diagnostics, documentation of changes, identification of disease progression, and monitoring of novel therapies. Hereby, FAF imaging gives additional information above and beyond conventional imaging tools.
This unique atlas provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of FAF imaging in retinal diseases. It also compares FAF findings with other imaging techniques such as
fundus photograph, fluorescein- and ICG angiography as well as optical coherence tomography.
General ophthalmologists as well as retina specialists will find this a very useful guide which illustrates typical FAF characteristics of various retinal diseases.
