Lawrence A. Yannuzzi

Magnífica y novedosa obra acerca de las patologías retinianas y de la mácula de la mano del Dr. Lawrence A Yannuzzi, W. Richard Green y Richard E. Hackel, tres reputadísmos líderes mundiales en la disciplina. El Dr. Yannuzzi es Profesor de Oftalmología Clínica en la Universidad de Columbia y Jefe de Cirugía del M anhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. Asimismo, es el fundador y director de la M acula Foundation Inc, en donde desarrolla también su actividad investigadora participando y desarrollando numerosos ensayos clínicos aleatorizados. Es el pionero en la interpretación de angiografías por fluoreceína y en la técnica de Angiografía con Verde Indocianina en el diagnóstico de enfermedades coroidales. * La obra es básicamente visual, ya que en 928 páginas están contenidas exactamente 5.125 imágenes de diagnóstico reocgiendo por tanto la totalidad de las patologias retinianas y de la mácula, aportando las últimas novedades en el correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento. Entre ellas se encuentra la técnica de la coroiditis multifocal (M FC), la retinopatía aguda zonal oculta externa (AZOOR), la miopatía patológica, el Síndrome de múltiples manchas blancas evanescentes (SMMBE). * Especialmente interesante resulta la incorporación de un código de colores. Así, a la hora de presentar las imágenes se "bordean" con diferentes colores, categorizándolas en 5 estadios. Se contempla las siguientes categorías: imágenes generales, imágenes obtenidas por angiograma con fluoresceína, con autofluoresencia de fondo, angiograma con verde indocianina y la fotografía libre de rojo. * La obra se acompaña del recurso ExpertConsult en el que están presentes todas las imágenes que pueden descargarse para presentaciones, seminarios... * Es de destacar también el magnífico diseño de la obra, ya que se incluye toda la serie de imágenes de las diferentes patologías contemplando desde los estadios iniciales hasta los más avanzado, presentando asimismo las variaciones fenotípicas para cada uno de los trastornos. En cuanto a la maquetación también es fruto de la gran experiencia de los autores, ya que se ha intentado reducir al máximo los blancos de la página; introduciendo toda la información sobre cada patología para poderla ver de "un vistazo" y cada una de las imágenes ha sido convenientemento "recortada" con el fin de reflejar la estructura/anomalía que se quiere enfatizar.

Pathologic Myopia is a major cause of severe vision loss worldwide. The mechanisms for vision loss include cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and above all, myopic maculopathy within the posterior staphyloma. The first edition of Pathologic Myopia is one of the only current books to specifically address this disease and discusses recent developments in imaging technologies and various approaches to treatments, such as laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, pharmaco-therapeutic injections in the vitreous, and surgery. This new edition is a timely update to the standard reference in the field, with new chapters on advanced refractive error correction, genetics, developing a classification system, and special surgical approaches for pathologic myopia. Complete with even more high-quality color images and informative tables, this book is written and edited by leaders in the field and is geared towards ophthalmologists, including residents and fellows in training, glaucoma and cataract specialists, and vitreoretinal macula experts.

With more than 5,000 images and comprehensive illustrations of the entire spectrum of vitreous, retina, and macula disorders, The Retinal Atlas, 2nd Edition, is an indispensable reference for retina specialists and comprehensive ophthalmologists as well as residents and fellows in training. For this edition, an expanded author team made up of Drs. K. Bailey Freund, David Sarraf, William F. Mieler, and Lawrence A. Yannuzzi, each an expert in retinal research and imaging, provide definitive up-to-date perspectives in this rapidly advancing field. This award-winning title has been thoroughly updated with new images with multimodal illustrations, new coverage and insight into key topics, and new disorders and classifications making it the most useful and most complete atlas of its kind. Provides a complete visual guide to advanced retinal imaging and diagnosis of the full spectrum of retinal diseases, including early and later stages of disease. Enhances understanding by presenting comparison imaging modalities, composite layouts, high-power views, panoramic disease visuals, and selected magnified areas to hone in on key findings and disease patterns. Features color coding for different imaging techniques, as well as user-friendly arrows, labels, and magnified images that point to key lesions and intricacies. Covers all current retinal imaging methods including: optical coherence tomography (OCT), indocyanine green angiography, fluorescein angiography, and fundus autofluorescence. Depicts and explains expanding OCT uses, including spectral domain and en face OCT, and evolving retinal imaging modalities such as ultra-wide-field fundus photography, angiography and autofluorescence. Presents a select team of experts, all of whom are true international leaders in retinal imaging, and have assisted in contributing to the diverse library of common and rare case illustrations.

The Retinal Atlas E-Book

Over 5,000 illustrations of the latest imaging and research findings essential for effective diagnosis of retinal disorders populate this atlas. A unique page layout consisting of optimally positioned panoramic images, magnified photos, and histopathological specimens illustrate key manifestations, giving you the best visual display of each disease. In addition, composite images using different retinal imaging modalities, including the latest in optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green (ICG), and fundus autofluorescence display how a disease appears in each imaging modality, allowing you to compare imaging methods and gain a better understanding of each disorder.
