Dry eye is one of the most common disorders encountered in ophthalmological practice. Its symptoms cause considerable discomfort and substantially reduce the patient's quality of life. As it is a complex and multifactorial condition, research investigating dry eye is a matter of great interest all over the world. In this book, the wide range of current basic and clinical research in dry eye and correlated ocular surface diseases is presented by scientists from Germany, Austria and the USA. These renowned authors provide clear and extensive descriptions of their projects, enabling scientists and clinical ophthalmologists to quickly bring themselves up to date with cutting edge research in this field. This overview of research into the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of dry eye is a must for all ophthalmologists dealing with this syndrome and looking to increase their knowledge base.
A number of structures contribute to tear production and maintenance, including the tear system, the lids and the orbit. The ocular surface itself is also a part of the system, including the cornea and conjunctiva. This makes for a very complex situation that can easily lead to changes in tear film and the ocular surface that are called "dry eye." Here a team of experts carefully examine how and when surgery is indicated, addressing normal tear film, normal anatomy (including immunological interactions), classification and diagnosis, anti-inflammatory and immnunosup-pressive concepts, correction and drainage techniques, surgery of the conjunctiva and cornea, keratoprosthesis surgery, botulism toxin injections, mucous membrane grafting, and salivary gland transplantation along with other treatments. The collection closed with a set of scientific studies. The color and monochrome clinical photographs and line illustrations are especially well-chosen and informative.
In 1927, Hartwig Kuhlenbeck published a series of lectures on the central nervous system of vertebrates and gave neurobiology its standard reference for decades. The present work, now complete in 5 volumes, represents a monumental expansion of the early lectures.
Das jetzt in 4. Auflage vorliegende, komplett überarbeitete Buch "Augenheilkunde" von Albert J. Augustin ist Lehrbuch und Nachschlagewerk in Einem. Es deckt wie kein anderes deutschsprachiges Werk die gesamte Breite und Tiefe des Fachgebietes ab und berücksichtigt die aktuellsten Kenntnisse der gesamten Augenheilkunde: Diagnostik, medikamentöse und ophthalmochirurgische Therapie werden von zahlreichen Spezialisten ebenso ausführlich dargelegt wie Anatomie, Physiologie, Biochemie, Pathophysiologie, Immunologie, Genetik sowie die Wirkungen und Nebenwirkungen systemisch oder lokal angewandter Medikamente. "Augenheilkunde" von Albert J. Augustin ist als etablierter, umfassender und auch praktisch orientierter Leitfaden sowohl für niedergelassene als auch für klinisch tätige Augenärzte bestens geeignet.
