Product Description
This scientific workshop was convened by the DfT to evaluate the currently available assessment tools that best determine the risk of a further cardiovascular event while driving. The estimated level of risk is used in making decisions on whether to grant, renew or revoke Group 2 licences on medical grounds. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has a commitment to continuous improvement in customer care, to ensure up-to-date and objective medical criteria, and to avoid unjustified discrimination. The Report concludes with 12 key recommendations. ... Read more

Product Description

This third volume of "Uveitis and Immunological Disorders" in Essentials in Ophthalmology provides up-to-date, relevant information for the reader. Our knowledge and understanding of immune mechanisms has increased exponentially over the past few years and has expanded to disorders such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. This volume will provide the ophthalmologist with practical information on how to diagnose and treat these difficult, and in some cases, blinding disorders. In addition, there are important discussions of the mechanisms underlying these conditions, which incorporate the most recent, up-to-date research material available. "Summary for the Clinician" and "Core Messages" sections enhance the value of each chapter. This volume was written by authors who are leaders in their field. Important and provocative questions dealing with recent developments are raised. Topics covered include:

Matching in Penetrating Keratoplasty

Acute Anterior Uveitis and HLA-B27: What's new?

What can the aqueous humour tell us about Uveitis?

Is Diabetic Retinopathy an inflammatory disease ?

Steroid sensivity in Uveitis

Multiple Sclerosis and Uveitis

Inflammation in Age-related Macular Degeneration: what is the evidence?

Immunological factors in Age-related Macular Degeneration: what is the consequence ?

Patterns of Retinal Vascular Involvement in the diagnosis of Retinal Vasculitis

Masquerade syndromes

This highly practical and clinically relevant volume is valuable to all those involved in the handling and treatment of patients with ocular inflammation. In addition, it provides fresh perspectives and insights into our current understanding of common disorders such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

Product Description

Affecting over a hundred million individuals worldwide, retinal diseases are among the leading causes of irreversible visual impairment and blindness, and appropriate study models, especially animal models, are essential to furthering our understanding of the etiology, pathology, and progression of these endemic diseases. In Animal Models for Retinal Diseases, recognized experts in the field highlight valuable techniques as well as animal models for the prominent retinal diseases in order to aid in the evaluation, development, and improvement of therapeutic strategies. Beginning with an overview of the morphology of the retina, visual behavior, and genetics and genomics approaches for retinal research, the book continues by covering animal models for the research of specific human retinal diseases, e.g., retinal degeneration, age-related macular degeneration, retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, retinal ischemia, and retinal inflammation. As a volume in the successful Neuromethods series, the chapters provide authoritative reviews of the most commonly used approaches in the field.

Vital and easy to use, Animal Models for Retinal Diseases serves to support the important future research of ocular investigators, ophthalmologists, and neuroscientists currently delving into this fascinating field of study.

Product Description

The specialty of medical retina remains one of the most challenging fields in ophthalmology. Written by world-renowned experts, this authoritative work on medical retina is both comprehensive and practical and will serve the need of all ophthalmologists as well as optometrists and ophthalmic nurses to keep up-to-date with new developments in the important field of medical retina. It encompasses the application of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy including fundus autofluorescence imaging as well as the mapping of central visual function by microperimetry. It also covers anti-VEGF therapy that has revolutionized the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
