Many ocular tumours are life-threatening or associated with lethal syndromes but can be difficult to diagnose because of their rarity and diversity.Unlike conventional atlases, this book contains a format that orders lesions according to their colour and ocular location to help readers quickly find the information they need even when they do not already know the diagnosis.Multimodal imaging results are presented to help provide a definitive diagnosis when slit-lamp and ophthalmoscopic findings are inconclusive. The seemingly random organisation of cases enables self-assessment by trainees.Written for optometrists and ophthalmologists, Clinical Atlas of Ocular Oncology is an essential resource for practitioners at any stage in their career.

¿Background: Psychosocial care remains an extremely important part of the holistic approach to care, but one which has been underestimated in clinical practice and only superficially addressed in the ophthalmic literature to date. This aspect of care most often gets less attention by healthcare professionals due to the dominance of a technology-enhanced approach to caring practice. Clearly, the skills afforded by science and technology are important for healthcare professionals in practice, but it is also important for them to be aware of the impact of the transfer of such skills on patients from a humanistic perspective. The delivery of technology-enhanced care can often trigger innermost feelings and needs such as fear, anxiety, stress, loss of control, and a sense of alienation. This book seeks to address the imbalance often observed between nursing both as an art and science, and to emphasise the importance of raising the healthcare knowledge and understanding of the value of social psychology and its application to ophthalmic practice in addressing this imbalance. Main aims: (1) To discuss the psychosocial needs and care of patients with ocular disease and sight loss. (2) To discuss the importance and relevance of the psychosocial aspects of ophthalmic care with reference to psychosocial theory and its application. (3) To discuss the psychosocial role of the healthcare professional in facilitating emotional recovery and promoting quality of life in the care and management of patients with ocular disease and sight loss.

This book provides extensive data on the more common and many of the more rare congenital and hereditary syndromes that manifest in the nervous system and skin. Though often complex and multi-systemic, these disorders can frequently be diagnosed using a combination of simple visual inspection and sound clinical expertise. Drawing on fully referenced information from thousands of articles, the international editorial team has prepared a comprehensive overview that includes historical perspectives, clinical features, the pathogenesis, and diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In addition, it addresses the biochemical, molecular, and genetic basis of the disorders.The book is divided into four main sections. Starting with general aspects of aetiology, diagnostics and therapy, the first part then covers the genetics, neuro-imaging, neuropathology, ocular manifestations and surgical management. The second part discusses developmental malformations, such as Sturge-Weber syndrome, Ataxia-Telangiectasia, Hypomelanosis of Ito and other rare syndromes, including haemangiomas. The focus of the third part is on tumour suppressor/DNA repair disorders, the most common of which is Neurofibromatosis 1. It also describes Neurofibromatosis 2, Schwannomatosis, Tuberous sclerosis, von Hippel-Lindau disease, Naevoid basal cell carcinoma and others. The book's fourth and final section covers defects in enzymes and structural proteins, which manifest as Cerebrotendinous xanthromatosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Menkes syndrome, Refsum disease.

Les troubles de la vision sont diagnostiqués, lorsque vous allez chez l'ophtalmologiste pour évaluer votre vue. Dans la majorité des cas, le praticien vous prescrit des lunettes avec des verres "correcteurs", et vous recommande de revenir dans un an. L'année suivante malgré la paire de verres "correcteurs", les troubles de votre vision se sont inéluctablement aggravés. L'ophtalmologiste vous annonce hypocritement que la maladie est progressive et héréditaire, par exemple: la myopie, la presbytie, la cataracte, la dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge (DMLA), le glaucome... comme s'il ignorait cette évolution négative, lorsqu'il vous a prescrit les fameux verres "correcteurs", et que rien ne peut être réellement effectué. C'est une intrigue classique des ophtalmologiste, qui consiste à imposer chaque année aux personnes atteintes des troubles de la vision, des traitements médicaux inefficaces ou une nouvelle paire de béquilles qu'ils appellent les verres "correcteurs". Le résultat de ce paradigme est éloquent, puisque: - En France plus de 1,7 million de personnes sont atteintes d'un trouble de la vision. Trois français sur quatre âgés de 20 ans, et 97 % des plus de 60 ans ont des troubles de vision. De plus, sept personnes sur dix de plus de 20 ans portent des lunettes ou des lentilles de contact. - Selon l'organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) dans son rapport du 8 octobre 2019, plus de 2,2 milliards de cas de déficience visuelle ou de cécité sont recensés dans le monde, et les perspectives d'ici 2050 sont également pessimistes. Le traitement rationnel de toutes maladies aiguës ou chroniques, y compris l'amélioration ou la guérison des troubles de la vision, doit commencer de l'intérieur du corps humain vers l'extérieur, et non de l'extérieur par les lunettes avec les verres "correcteurs", qui ne sont ni plus ni moins qu'un palliatif ruineux ! Découvrez vite dans ce livre, comment vous épargnez à jamais des dépenses superflues, et les méthodes naturelles pour vous débarrasser définitivement de vos lunettes !

This book covers the intersections between neurointervention and neurology, neurointervention and neurosurgery, and neurointervention and other specialties. It fills the gap in the literature by placing specific emphasis on appropriate patient selection, preparation, and post-procedural management. Concise and comprehensive, this text covers the increasingly important aspects of the neurointerventionalist profession, as it has moved away from a purely technical role to a focus on clinical care. In addition, the most rapidly expanding area of neurointervention, ischemic stroke, is thoroughly examined in this text, where other texts on this subject fail. It is also meant as a reference for non-neurointerventionalists who may desire to learn more about how their patients can benefit from the therapeutic or adjunctive techniques that the neurointerventionalist can provide. Neurointervention in the Medical Specialties, Second Edition is an essential guide written for neurointerventional specialists from all backgrounds, both in practice and in training
