This book is a comprehensive guide to the medical and surgical management of retinal diseases and disorders. The new edition has been fully revised and updated to provide clinicians with the latest advances in the field. Divided into 63 chapters, the text begins with an overview of clinical anatomy and physiology of the vitreous and retina, imaging and ultrasonography, and electrophysiology. The following sections cover management of numerous different retinal disorders, from macular dystrophies, retinal arterial occlusion and diabetic macular edema, to giant retinal tears, blunt ocular trauma, cancer associated retinopathies, shaken baby syndrome, and many more. This second edition features the latest developments in diagnostics, clinical management guidelines, instruments and vitreoretinal surgeries. New topics include the emerging role of 3D ‘heads up’ vitreoretinal surgery and microscope integrated optical coherence tomography in retinal surgery. The extensive text is further enhanced by clinical images and illustrations. The previous edition (9789352702947) published in 2018.

Zusammenfassung: Cataract surgery, with 25-30 million surgeries per year, has become one of most popular surgeries in the world. The calculation of its power is of utmost importance. As new premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) and modern surgical techniques have been developed, the demand has grown exponentially - not only for eliminating cataracts, but also for getting rid of the need for glasses. This book offers a comprehensive overview of IOL power calculations and its various formulas and methods. Chapters discuss use of the diagnostic biometry devices that provide the measurements and the management of different clinical situations where particular modifications must be applied. Chapters ...

Pathophysiology – what is the cause? Clinical significance – what does it mean? Diagnosis and treatment – what is the predictive value? These are questions that all clinicians should continue to ask themselves from the very beginning of medical training and throughout a lifetime of practice. Organised by body system, Mechanisms of Clinical Signs 3e describes the underlying pathway, differential diagnoses and value of the clinical signs seen during physical examination. - Alphabetical listing of clinical signs - Index by sign and conditions for easy reference - Additional flow diagrams - Clinical Pearls highlighting important clinical signs - Summary of the evidence - Access to chapter-based MCQs Access StudentConsult for: - Clinical videos and audio of key signs - Case-based MCQs - An Enhanced eBook. The enhanced eBook allows the end user to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
This book presents up-to-date information on how to assess early preclinical alterations in the heart, the small and large arteries and the kidney using the most sensitive, specific and cost-effective techniques. A wide variety of techniques are discussed, with careful attention to the latest developments. For each organ, evidence is documented regarding the prevalence of organ damage in the general and the hypertensive population. Information is provided on the potential induction of regression of organ damage by treatment, the criteria for establishing significant changes and the clinical prognostic significance of regression. The manual will be invaluable for all practitioners responsible for the clinical management of hypertensive patients, given that the assessment of early preclinical cardiovascular and renal damage permits more accurate risk stratification at baseline and facilitates evaluation of cardiovascular protection when regression of structural changes is achieved during treatment.
I am very proud and excited to introduce to you this book, which provides many interesting indications on how to better understand and handle the world of optical coherence tomography (OCT). Reading the chapters, you will be aware that this device is extremely important not just in the clinical practice of retinal diseases, but is also very useful as a surgical tool. Moreover, application of OCT has crossed the borders of the retina and is currently being applied to corneal diseases and glaucoma. I am confident you will find enough useful information to improve your practice using OCT and to provide a better quality of care for your patients.
