Encyclopedia of Italian Literary Studies: A-J
Publisher description
Ultra Widefield Imaging of the Retina
Ultra Widefield Imaging of the Retina covers basic anatomy and physiology of the retina, providing the technical aspects of ultra widefield retinal imaging that give readers a strong grounding in the discipline’s central tenets. The book provides a comprehensive view of the peripheral retina, enabling better detection of pathology and more accurate assessment of disease progression. It fills the knowledge gap among healthcare professionals with regard to principles, procedural aspects, and clinical applications of these innovations. In essence, anyone seeking in-depth information on imaging and the treatment of vascular chorioretinal disorders, inflammatory disorders, and chorioretinal tumors will find it here. New imaging modalities, improved image quality, and enhanced analysis techniques have proven valuable tools in the diagnosis and management of retinal diseases, hence this book will serve as a resource for clinicians and researchers to stay up-to-date in this rapidly evolving field.
Encyclopedia of Italian Literary Studies
The Encyclopedia of Italian Literary Studies is a two-volume reference book containing some 600 entries on all aspects of Italian literary culture. It includes analytical essays on authors and works, from the most important figures of Italian literature to little known authors and works that are influential to the field. The Encyclopedia is distinguished by substantial articles on critics, themes, genres, schools, historical surveys, and other topics related to the overall subject of Italian literary studies. The Encyclopedia also includes writers and subjects of contemporary interest, such as those relating to journalism, film, media, children's literature, food and vernacular literatures. Entries consist of an essay on the topic and a bibliographic portion listing works for further reading, and, in the case of entries on individuals, a brief biographical paragraph and list of works by the person. It will be useful to people without specialized knowledge of Italian literature as well as to scholars.
Imaging Techniques
The introduction of new imaging methods has revolutionized the management of retinal diseases. Techniques like OCT angiography and fundus autofluorescence imaging have enabled the exploration of new perspectives for understanding the progress of diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. Multimodal imaging of the retina will open new avenues for an integrated diagnostic approach in the future. This publication - like all volumes of the ‘ESASO Course Series’ - summarizes the essentials of the ESASO education courses. It provides an update for retina specialists and imaging technicians. Residents and trainees will also find it to be useful for learning about new imaging techniques.
Medical Retina
In the 'ESASO Course Series' the essentials of the courses of the European School for Advanced Studies in Ophthalmology (ESASO) are made available to interested ophthalmologists, optometrists, technicians, and residents all over the world. In the seven years since the first edition of this book was published, major advances in diagnostics and management strategies of retinal diseases have evolved. This updated and revised edition takes this into account and focuses on the significant developments of preferred practice for diabetic retinopathy and dry and neovascular AMD. It further discusses pathology, imaging, and visualization of retinal diseases. In addition it considers biologic disease markers and new drugs being developed. Medical retina specialists who wish to stay abreast of the constantly changing world of medical retina will find this publication a must-read.
Macular Edema
For many years diagnosing macular edema at an early stage has been a main difficulty. Recently, multiple and remarkable advances of modern imaging technologies which allow recognition of the main etiologies, have immensely improved its diagnosis and treatment. In this volume different patterns and etiologies of macular edema are described and the importance of preserving the photoreceptors at an early stage in order to retain center visual acuity is discussed. It brings together the most recent data and evidence-based medicine, and, on the other hand, the pathophysiological basis of macular edema and the different approaches for drug delivery to the posterior segment are presented. Recommendations for treatment procedures or different therapies have been carefully analyzed and considered prior to inclusion. 'Macular Edema - A Practical Approach' provides the ophthalmologist with a synthesis of knowledge to diagnose, to determine etiology, and to offer the patient viable treatment options for his benefit.
Retinal Pharmacotherapeutics
The use of pharmacotherapeutics in the management of retinal diseases is rapidly evolving, and a favorable therapy for the patient. Today anti-VEGF agents are used for a range of indications from inflammation-related choroidal neovascularization to macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion or diabetic retinopathy. Beyond VEGF, there is an array of target areas under investigation – not only for vascular pathologies such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease, but also for degenerative, infectious and inflammatory retinal conditions. This publication discusses many aspects from basic research on the retina, to animal models for retinal drug delivery, retinal diseases that are amenable to pharmacotherapy and also drugs and mechanisms in retinal diseases. Anyone concerned with the management of retinal diseases - the general ophthalmologist and the retina specialist alike – will find this book indispensable reading.
Ocular Tumors
Rapid advances in the field of oncology have made the diagnosis and treatment of intraocular tumors more and more complex, therefore requiring equally advanced training and expertise. Early detection and specialized care can have a profound impact on the final outcome, so it is crucial to manage them appropriately. In this 7th volume of the 'ESASO Course Series', the focus is on ocular tumors, including diagnosis and management. With a strong emphasis on diagnostic aspects, chapters cover and illustrate a variety of intraocular tumors, such as retinoblastoma and uveal melanoma, encountered in children and adults. This book includes contributions by renowned experts from Europe and the United States. It is a valuable resource for primary care ophthalmologists as well as residents and fellows in the field of ophthalmology.
Understanding OCT Angiography
This handbook provides ophthalmologists and trainees with the latest advances in the rapidly developing field of OCT Angiography. Beginning with an overview of the technology and terminology, the next chapter explains how to perform an OCTA examination. The following sections describe the pathophysiology, clinical features, imaging and management techniques for different retinal disorders. Authored by an internationally recognised group of experts, led by Professor Bruno Lumbroso, the book is highly illustrated with cross sectional and ‘en face’ OCT images, drawings and tables. This text is invaluable reading for clinicians learning OCTA interpretation for routine everyday use and diagnostic retinal pathologies. Key points Presents latest advances in field of OCT Angiography Covers pathophysiology, clinical features, imaging and management techniques for different retinal disorders Highly illustrated with cross sectional and ‘en face’ OCT images, drawings and tables Internationally recognised author team led by renowned Professor Bruno Lumbroso
Retinal and Choroidal Imaging in Systemic Diseases
This book explains the underlying rationale for retinal and choroidal imaging in the context of systemic diseases. Various systemic diseases involve the eyes, and for some, the eyes could provide the first clue to their presence. Advances in posterior segment imaging have significantly improved our understanding of the pathophysiology and management of posterior segment diseases. However, imaging techniques like enhanced depth imaging, oximetry, adaptive optics, and retinal blood flowmetry have remained largely unexplored in connection with systemic diseases. Enhancing the available literature on the use of such imaging techniques for various systemic diseases, this handbook will help readers understand their pathomechanisms, supporting early diagnosis and more targeted therapeutic approaches. As such, it offers an essential resource for ophthalmologists, especially those with predominantly vitreo-retinal and uvea experience.
