Abstract: Background Precise optic disc size measurements based on anatomically exact disc margins are fundamental for a correct assessment of glaucoma suspects. Computerized imaging techniques, such as confocal-scanning-laser-tomography (CSLT), which applies operator defined boundaries and optical-coherence-tomography (OCT), which incorporates an alternative detectable landmark (Bruch's-membrane-opening (BMO)), have simplified the planimetry of the optic disc and BMO-area, respectively. This study's objectives are to compare both modalities for area and to define a threshold for macro-BMO using BMO-OCT. Methods Retrospectively, patients that simultaneously received CSLT and BMO-OCT scans we...
Uveitis is inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, which is known as the uvea or uveal tract. It is a complex condition with a variety of causes and clinical manifestations, including injury, infection or an underlying condition. This 1200pp second edition brings ophthalmologists fully up to date with the latest developments in diagnosing and treating uveitis. Beginning with the basic principles of the disease, its diagnosis and management, the following sections discuss the treatment of numerous different infectious, non infectious, masquerade and autoimmune syndromes. Basic science, differential diagnosis, pathology and clinical management are discussed for each condition. Written by ...
This atlas offers a truly comprehensive update on the use of imaging technologies for the diagnosis and follow-up of glaucoma. In addition to standard automated perimetry, gonioscopy, fundus photography, and stereophotography, other advanced, high-resolution methods for imaging the eye in glaucoma are explained in detail, including ultrasound biomicroscopy, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, scanning laser polarimetry, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography. The role of the various tests and the keys to optimizing their use in clinical practice are detailed with the aid of high-quality figures in order to enable the reader to achieve the best possible performance when applying...
Ian O'Rourke, a skinny kid from the Australian outback town of Burraboi NSW, who's education began with correspondence lessons could never have imagined his rise through the ranks of the Australian Tractor and Machinery Industry. As National Service Manager of Ford Tractor Operations Australia, his influence stretched from Melbourne to the halls of power in Dearborn, Michigan, USA and across the Atlantic to Basildon in the UK.Filled with wonderful anecdotes, Ian's memoir will take the reader through the O'Rourke family's struggles during his formative years on the farm. His life at boarding school and working with Massey Ferguson as part of their Research and Development team who had been charged with bringing the 585 Header into production.Respected by colleagues and dealers alike, this story takes the reader on a journey through the progress of Australia's Farm Machinery industry from 1960 to the early 1990s
