Antiseptic Prophylaxis and Therapy in Ocular Infections
This volume collects for the first time interdisciplinary findings in ophthalmology concerning effectiveness and indications of antiseptics for the prophylaxis and therapy of infections. The first part discusses the use of various antiseptics against colonization, contamination and infection of the eye caused by viruses, bacteria, fungus and protozoa in comparison to topical antibiotics. The spectrum of action, the risk of resistance of only microbiostatic active agents and the galenic requirements of antiseptics are included as well as the local and systemic tolerance. New data to iodophors, polyhexanide and magnesium monoperphthalate are presented, and, for the first time, microbiologic re...
The Sense of Sight in Rabbinic Culture
This book studies the significance of sight in rabbinic cultures across Palestine and Mesopotamia (approximately from the first to seventh centuries). It tracks the extent and effect to which the rabbis living in the Greco-Roman and Persian worlds sought to appropriate, recast and discipline contemporaneous understandings of sight. Sight had a crucial role to play in the realms of divinity, sexuality and gender, idolatry and, ultimately, rabbinic subjectivity. The rabbis lived in a world in which the eyes were at once potent and vulnerable: eyes were thought to touch objects of vision, while also acting as an entryway into the viewer. Rabbis, Romans, Zoroastrians, Christians and others were all concerned with the protection and exploitation of vision. Employing many different sources, Professor Neis considers how the rabbis engaged varieties of late antique visualities, along with rabbinic narrative, exegetical and legal strategies, as part of an effort to cultivate and mark a 'rabbinic eye'.
National Register of Psychotherapists 2003
The increase in public awareness of psychotherapy has resulted in an explosion of requests for information of this kind. The National Register of Psychotherapists is published to help meet these requests by providing contact addresses for all those practising psychotherapists who have met the training requirements of organisations recognised by and affiliated to the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. The National Register of Psychotherapists: * lists alphabetically and by county the names, addresses and telephone numbers of over 5,600 psychotherapists with recognised training qualifications * indicates the therapeutic orientation of each practitioner * lists the names and addresses of...
Lacrimal Gland, Tear Film, and Dry Eye Syndromes 3
During the past several decades, a significant international research effort has been directed towards understanding the composition and regulation of the preocular tear film. This effort has been motivated by the recognition that the tear film plays a critical role in maintaining corneal and conjunctival integrity, protecting against microbial challenge and preserving visual acuity. In addition, research has been stimulated by the knowledge that alteration or deficiency of the tear film, which occurs in numerous individuals throughout the world, may lead to desiccation of the ocular surface, ulceration and perforation of the cornea, an increased incidence of infectious disease, and potentionally pronounced visual disability and blindness.
Dictionary of Medical Vocabulary in English, 1375–1550
Medical texts written in English during the late Middle Ages have in recent years attracted increasing attention among scholars. From approximately 1375 onwards, the use of English began to gain a firmer foothold in medical manuscripts, which in previous centuries had been written mainly in Latin or French. Scholars of Middle English, and editors of medical texts from late medieval England, are thus faced with a huge medical vocabulary which no single volume has yet attempted to define. This dictionary is therefore an essential reference tool. The material analysed in the Dictionary of Medical Vocabulary in English, 1375–1550 includes edited texts, manuscripts and early printed books, and ...
Spectacles and the Victorians
This is the first full-length study of spectacles in the Victorian period. It examines how the Victorians shaped our understanding of functional visual capacity and the concept of 20:20 vision. Demonstrating how this unique assistive device can connect the histories of medicine, technology and disability, it charts how technology has influenced our understanding of sensory perception, both through the diagnostic methods used to measure visual impairment and the utility of spectacles to ameliorate its effects. Taking a material culture approach, the book assesses how the design of spectacles thwarted ophthalmologists’ attempts to medicalise their distribution and use, as well as creating a mainstream marketable device on the high street.
Seniorenchorleitung
Vor dem Hintergrund des demografischen Wandels und der immer größer werdenden Zahl älterer Menschen, die sich bis ins hohe Alter musikalisch engagieren, wird auch das Chorsingen im Alter immer bedeutsamer. Dieses Buch stellt eine empirische Studie dar, die sich mit den musikalischen und außermusikalischen Anforderungen an die Seniorenchorleitung befasst. Auf der Basis von inhaltsanalytisch ausgewerteten Interviews mit Chorleitenden und Chorsängerinnen bzw. Chorsängern werden die notwendigen Kompetenzen zur Seniorenchorarbeit und deren didaktische Besonderheiten herausgearbeitet sowie auch konzeptionelle Aspekte wie Altersgrenzen in Chören erläutert.
Licht
Das Spektrum für optimierte Lichtkonzepte ist nahezu grenzenlos: Reise, Freizeit, Lehre und Berufsleben finden zu 90 Prozent in geschlossenen Räumen statt. Da der Mensch auf Licht angewiesen ist, prägt die richtige Lichtlösung wesentlich seine Lebensqualität. „Licht ist das Medium des Sehens und der Seele. Es wirkt auf Lebensrhythmus, Stimmung und Leistungsfähigkeit des Menschen“, sagt Christian Bartenbach, der für seine Forschungen und Anwendungen höchste Anerkennung erntete. In diesem Handbuch dokumentiert er sein Lebenswerk, das er der Erforschung des Lichtes, seiner Planung und Wirkung im visuellen Raum gewidmet hat, und zieht die Summe seiner Erkenntnisse. Es umfasst physikalische Grundlagen, Zusammenhänge von Licht und Gesundheit und zeigt im Detail eine Vielzahl von Lösungen für Tages- und Kunstlicht.
