Optic Nerve Disorders. Diagnosis and Management - Jane W. Chan, MD

Optic Nerve Disorders
Diagnosis and Management

Optic Nerve Disorders. Diagnosis and Management - Jane W. Chan, MD. The optic nerve and the brain comprise the main anatomic components of neuro-ophthalmology. Although there are numerous handbooks and major texts describing all the common disorders of neuro-ophthalmology, Optic Nerve Disorders is the only practical reference book focusing only on common optic nerve disorders. The author discusses diagnosis, pathophysiology, management, and prognosis of complex optic nerve disorders. Optic Nerve Disorders is organized by optic nerve diagnoses commonly encountered in a neuro-ophthalmologic practice. It is written in a clear, concise style for quick, easy reference in the clinic. Each chapter is formatted in a similar manner and thoroughly discusses epidemiology, diagnosis (by clinical signs and symptoms and by electrophysiologic, ocular and neuroimaging techniques), pathophysiology, management (by both conventional treatments and experimental/newer medications under consideration) and prognosis. Updated information on diagnostics techniques, such as OCT, mfVEP, mfERG, VEP, ERG, the Heidleberg Tomograph and Gdx Nerve Fiber Analyzer, for imaging of the optic nerve will be incorporated into each of the chapters.

Network Epidemiology A Handbook for Survey Design and Data Collection

Network Epidemiology

Network Epidemiology: A Handbook for Survey Design and Data Collection (International Studies in Demography) [Hardcover] Martina Morris (Editor). Over the past two decades, the epidemic of HIV/AIDS has challenged the public health community to fundamentally rethink the framework for preventing infectious diseases. While much progress has been made on the biomedical front in treatments for HIV infection, prevention still relies on behaviour change.

Professor Martina Morris is Blumstein-Jordan Chair in the Departments of Sociology and Statistics at the University of Washington. She is also Director of the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology, Director of the Sociobehavioural and Prevention Research Core at the Center for AIDS Research, and Co-Director of the Behaviour Research Training Program at the Center for AIDS Research.

Manual of Retinal Surgery 2nd Edition - Andrew J. Packer

Manual of Retinal Surgery

Manual of Retinal Surgery 2nd Edition - Andrew J. Packer. The purpose of this manual is to provide the reader with a straightforward. practical guide to retinal surgery. It is not designed to provide a complete compendium on the topic but rather an up-to-date, reasonable approach. This second edition provides current indications as well as technical updates for the surgical procedures and includes a new chapter on macular hole surgery. Many of the personal preferences presented in this manual are intended to serve as suggestions for the surgeon who is looking to develop or modify his approach to retinal detachment surgery. The reader must keep in mind that there are many valid alternative techniques that are not covered. The suggested readings at the conclusion of each chapter will enable readers to cover selected areas in greater depth and will also acquaint them with valid alternative techniques. It is hoped that residents and beginning vitrecretinal fellows will use this manual as a starting point to help formulate their approach to retinal detachment surgery, and that practicing ophthalmologists will find some useful clinical "pearls" that will assist them in modifying their own individual approach. I would like to acknowledge and thank Laurel C. Lhowe and Jerry Sewell, who created the wonderful illustrations for this edition.
