Book Synopsis The Epidemiology of Eye Disease 2ed by : Gordon J. Johnson
Download or read book The Epidemiology of Eye Disease 2ed written by Gordon J. Johnson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-05-30 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large proportion of the world's eye disease is preventable through better education, sanitation and medical therapy. A global initiative for the elimination of avoidable blindness is being given high prominence by WHO over the next ten years with many countries instigating their own prevention programmes. Interest in this topic is therefore at an all-time high. A timely revision of this established textbook, Epidemiology of Eye Disease provides practising ophthalmologists and public health officials, as well as students enrolled on an increasing number of related Masters Courses, with definitive information on both the epidemiology and prevention of eye disease. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout for the second edition, the content has been enlarged by the addition of new sections on clinical trials, molecular epidemiology and refractive errors. The revision also has a much-enhanced international flavor with many new contributing authors, and reflects the considerable experience gained by the editors through their respective associations with the highly regarded courses run at the Institute of Ophthalmology in London and at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. The second edition of Epidemiology of Eye Disease continues to be a one-stop source of relevant information derived from all major epidemiological studies on the prevalence, risk factors and distribution of eye disease, to be referred to frequently by students and practitioners in both developed and developing nations.

Book Synopsis Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.

Book Synopsis Lacrimal Gland, Tear Film, and Dry Eye Syndromes 3 by : David A. Sullivan
Download or read book Lacrimal Gland, Tear Film, and Dry Eye Syndromes 3 written by David A. Sullivan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 1293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past several decades, a significant international research effort has been directed towards understanding the composition and regulation of the preocular tear film. This effort has been motivated by the recognition that the tear film plays a critical role in maintaining corneal and conjunctival integrity, protecting against microbial challenge and preserving visual acuity. In addition, research has been stimulated by the knowledge that alteration or deficiency of the tear film, which occurs in numerous individuals throughout the world, may lead to desiccation of the ocular surface, ulceration and perforation of the cornea, an increased incidence of infectious disease, and potentionally pronounced visual disability and blindness.

Download or read book SERI written by Arthur Siew Ming Lim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just 10 years ago, ophthalmic research was almost unheard of in Singapore. With little money and no infrastructure, ophthalmologists and scientists expressed scant interest in research. Today, however, ophthalmic research in Singapore is at a high international level, as exemplified by the activities of the Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI), which is capable of competing with and challenging the world's leading eye research centers. Indeed, the world-class research carried out at SERI has helped to extend Singapore's international reach as the country moves towards its goal of becoming a global city and a leading nation influencing developments across Asia and the world.This book summarizes a decade of hard work, dedication, and commitment by a handful of doctors and researchers in their efforts to establish SERI and ensure its success. In particular, the remarkable contributions of two of Singapore's ophthalmic pioneers, the late Associate Professor Chew Sek Jin and current Professor Donald Tan, are acknowledged. The book will inspire leaders of developing nations in visualizing how research can develop rapidly in their own country, and how support and facilities may materialize if they can gather a few dedicated, intelligent researchers.

Book Synopsis Cataract Epidemiology by : Kazuyuki Sasaki
Download or read book Cataract Epidemiology written by Kazuyuki Sasaki and published by S Karger Ag. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of 'Developments in Ophthalmology' provides an extensive insight into current research on cataract epidemiology with a special emphasis on UV-related cataract risk assessment. In addition to substantial results of epidemiological studies from India, China, Australia (Melbourne), Korea, Bulgaria (Sofia) and Japan, the improvement and standardization of classification techniques are thoroughly discussed in order to be able to adequately convey and compare the different findings. UV-radiation as a trigger in the development of cataract is amply described in the scientific literature. The book presents a new and accurate model for the complex measurement of UV-exposure of the eye and allows a more realistic calculation of the actual risk of damage to the eye. Reports on age-dependent alterations in the transparency and scattering light intensity of the human lens as well as special approaches to localize cataract complete this important publication for ophthalmologists and epidemiologists working in the field of ophthalmology.

Book Synopsis Clinical Insights and Examination Techniques in Ophthalmology by : Thomas Kuriakose
Download or read book Clinical Insights and Examination Techniques in Ophthalmology written by Thomas Kuriakose and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book elucidates the principles of sound clinical examination in ophthalmology. Based on the author’s extensive teaching experience, it makes the case for arriving at a diagnosis through detailed clinical examinations, including history taking, knowledge of clinical epidemiology, and using only the most relevant clinical tests. Starting with basic chapters on relevant statistics and clinical epidemiology, the book covers history-taking, visual function assessment, slit lamp examination, and examinations of each important field (e.g. the lids, orbit, cornea, iris and pupil, glaucoma patients, sclera, lens, posterior segment, pediatric patient and neuro-ophthalmology) in separate chapters. Full of practical tips on examining patients at the clinic, the book also describes the rationale behind each clinical test and its interpretation. It is also hoped that teachers who come across this book will evaluate students on the basis of these relevant clinical examinations rather than quizzing them on esoteric clinical tests that are not routinely used and are of little clinical value. This book is intended to help all ophthalmologists, beginners and veterans alike, improve their clinical examination thinking and skills.
Book Synopsis Diabetic Retinopathy and Cardiovascular Disease by : C. Sabanayagam
Download or read book Diabetic Retinopathy and Cardiovascular Disease written by C. Sabanayagam and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a common microvascular complication, has consistently been shown to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This book provides complete coverage of DR as a potential marker for CVD in those with diabetes. It succinctly reviews the epidemiological and pathogenic links of DR to various cardiovascular events including stroke, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and mortality. Furthermore, it discusses the usefulness of DR in CVD risk prediction and cardiovascular safety of anti-VEGF therapy in diabetic patients. There are insights from contemporary diabetic trials that demonstrated the enhanced cardiovascular benefit of novel glucose lowering therapy. It also highlights the potential of novel retinal imaging to predict CVD and its risk factors using the state-of-the art artificial intelligence-based deep learning systems. This book will be an invaluable resource for specialists translating research findings into clinical care, including those in cardiology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, and general practitioners. IT will also be of interest to public health practitioners, researchers, graduate students, and biotech companies interested in developing retinal image-based diagnostic and prognostic tools.
