Advances in Ophthalmology and Optometry reviews the most current practices in both ophthalmology and optometry. A distinguished editorial board, headed by Dr. Myron Yanoff, identifies key areas of major progress and controversy and invites expert ophthalmologists and optometrists to contribute original articles devoted to these topics. Topics covered this volume include, but are not limited to, technology in the evolution of eye care, myopia, anti-VEGF medications in retinopathy of prematurity, current management of retinoblastoma, secondary angle-closure glaucoma, management of conjunctival bleb leaks, newer therapies for giant cell arteritis, nystagmus, corneal crosslinking, corneal inlays for treatment of presbyopia, orbital floor management, refinements in the conjunctivomullerectomy procedure, emerging intraocular infections of global significance, and recent advances in ocular imaging, among others.
As pharmaceuticals are the mainstay of treatment for human ailments, pharmacology is a medical discipline that serves as the foundation of the medical industry. In order to optimize the advantages and reduce the hazards of medications for recipients, it is crucial to describe the pharmacological basis of therapies. This pharmacology lecture note is primarily intended for undergraduate health science students, including those pursuing careers as health officers, nurses, midwives, and laboratory technicians. But other health professionals whose line of work involves drug therapy or associated topics ought to find much of the information relevant as well. The objective is to equip the practitioner with knowledge of the core scientific ideas underlying pharmacology. To facilitate understanding, the effects of archetypal medicines on physiological and pathological systems are thoroughly described. There is a brief mention of other related medications. The medications were chosen based on the national pharmaceuticals list for Ethiopia and the cumulative knowledge from teaching pharmacology to numerous students of health professions. The chapters begin with a set of goals to direct the reader, and the majority of them end with questions that test the reader's comprehension of the ideas discussed in the chapter. Most sections begin with an introduction that gives a general description of the material that will be discussed. We believe that this information will be a helpful companion in our search of a fundamental understanding of the most intriguing field of clinical knowledge, pharmacology, and invite readers to consult the references listed for more information.
When a specimen representing a tumour or tumour-like lesion of the eye or ocular adnexa is received in most general surgical pathology laboratories, the immediate reaction is one of panic, because these tumours are rarely encountered and often require complex gross dissections based on a knowledge of ocular anatomy that most general surgical pathologists have either never possessed or have long since forgotten. The authors of this volume state that their main objective is to emphasise the important features of these lesions that are of special interest to general and surgical pathologists. In addition to providing complete descriptions of the tumours and tumour-like lesions in the various compartments of the eye and ocular adnexa, the authors correlate the pathologic features with epidemiologic and pathogenetic observations, clinical features, differential diagnosis, and special studies including immunohistochemistry and various molecular approaches. Each anatomic site has a section on normal anatomy and histology and there is a separate chapter on the pathologic examination of ocular specimens so that the general pathologist can approach these uncommonly-encountered specimens with confidence. Because of its scholarly, practical, well illustrated and well-referenced approach, this work will appeal to pathologists and ophthalmologists alike.
