Book excerpt: Until a few years ago, eye banks were only considered as centres for collecting and processing units of human donor eyes. However, eye banks in recent years have changed the process of current corneal transplantation. Although the very first corneal transplantation was conceptualised in the late 18th century, it has taken a century to develop methods and understand the role of human corneas in general. This book gives an insight of worldwide associations and their standard regulations in terms of corneal donations, processes and transplantations. The associations mainly include: Eye Bank Association of America, European Eye Bank Association and Eye Bank Association of Australia and New Zealand. This book also refers to some of the early stages of eye banking and current methods of preservation, including cold and organ culture storage. The current eye banking scenario is changing dramatically in terms of tissue processing. Once, tissues were only collected, stored and shipped for transplantation to the surgeons. Now eye banks have advanced in developing techniques in collaboration with surgeons to introduce more reliable methods of transplantation. This includes standardisation of methods such as DSAEK, UT-DSAEK, pre-loaded grafts and DMEK. Furthermore, this compilation describes different techniques of lamellar keratoplasty, such as anterior and posterior lamellar keratoplasties. Retrieving, storing, processing and transplantation of such lenticules are also discussed in this book. Posterior lamellar graft preparation for selective surgeries like DSAEK and Ultra-Thin DSAEK has been included with relevant clinical approaches. DMEK, which is currently taking corneal transplantation to a different level, has been reported with various graft preparation techniques. The role of eye banks in general for such preparation method is also examined. Additionally, the importance of microbiology in day to day care in the field of corneal transplantation and eye banks exists as a topic within these pages. Eye banks are playing a major role and changing the face of corneal transplantation in terms of new research; whether it be graft preparation for surgeries, preservation, surgical tools, ready-to-use tissues or studying cornea in details using available research tissues, these methods are advancing the field. Eye banks play a major role in tissue selection and correct processing methods. Surgeons are provided with a validated tissue so it makes easier for them to follow the transplantation. Therefore, this book highlights the new concepts in the eye banking field with regards to the standards, regulations, retrieval, preservation and transplantation methods. All of these continue to help aid in the research and development of surgical processes and devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diseases affecting the cornea are a major cause of blindness worldwide and corneal transplantation remains the primary method of visual rehabilitation in this context. Cornea transplantation is the most commonly performed transplantation procedure in New Zealand. However, no reliable data are available on the medium term outcomes of corneal transplantation in New Zealand and there is a dearth of major studies in the international literature. The aim of this research was to provide a portrait of our unique New Zealand/Aotearoa population and its experience with corneal transplantation. Specifically, data analyses were performed to measure graft survival and visual outcome following corneal transplantation, and to investigate risk factors for corneal graft failure. The New Zealand National Eye Bank records were analysed for the decade 1st January 2000 to 31st December 2009 inclusive. Detailed clinical data were obtained for a total of 941 corneal transplantation procedures; 834 penetrating keratoplasty, 73 deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, 28 endothelial keratoplasty, and 6 patch grafts. The overall 2-year survival rate (87.9%) identified in this study was comparable to that of other survival rates reported in the literature. The two year graft survival rate was highest (95.6%) in patients with keratoconus. Six independent risk factors were found to be associated with an increased risk of graft failure on multivariate analysis; younger recipient age, preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), indication for corneal transplantation, previous contralateral graft, number of rejection episodes, and episodes of loose sutures. A BCVA of 6/12 or better was achieved by 58.7% of eyes with penetrating keratoplasty, and 69.6% achieved 6/18 or better. Visual acuity improved by 2 lines or more in 67.0% of eyes with surviving penetrating keratoplasty, with 25.1% improving by 2-4 lines, 33.8% by 5-10 lines, and 8.1% by more than 10 lines. This research, involving a total of 941 procedures, provides new knowledge and new insights into corneal transplantation in the Auckland region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cornea is the clear, outer layer at the front of the eyeball. It acts as a window to the eye. The cornea helps to focus light rays onto the retina, this image is then transmitted to the brain. When the cornea is damaged, it can become less transparent or its shape can change. This can prevent light reaching the retina and causes the picture transmitted to the brain to be distorted or unclear. A corneal transplant, also known as keratoplasty or a corneal graft, is an operation to remove all or part of a damaged cornea and replace it with healthy donor tissue. It is used to improve sight, relieve pain and treat severe infection or damage. One of the most common reasons for a cornea transplant is a condition called keratoconus, which causes the cornea to change shape. (NHS.UK) This book is a guide to corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) for ophthalmic surgeons. Divided into seven sections, the text begins with an overview of evolution, preoperative considerations, and eye banking. The following sections cover a multitude of keratoplasty techniques, including endothelial keratoplasty, and their potential complications. The book concludes with discussion on alternatives to corneal transplantation. The third edition of this comprehensive manual has been fully revised, with new topics added, to provide surgeons with the latest advances in the field. A selection of operative videos can be accessed via a QR code provided in the book. The previous edition (9788184488593) published in 2010.

Book excerpt: Bodies and body parts of the dead have long been considered valuable material for use in medical science. Over time and in different places, they have been dissected, autopsied, investigated, harvested for research and therapeutic purposes, collected to turn into museum and other specimens, and then displayed, disposed of, and exchanged. This book examines the history of such activities, from the early nineteenth century through to the present, as they took place in hospitals, universities, workhouses, asylums and museums in England, Australia and elsewhere. Through a series of case studies, the volume reveals the changing scientific, economic and emotional value of corpses and their contested place in medical science.

Download or read book Handbook of Full-Field Optical Coherence Microscopy written by Arnaud Dubois and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full-field optical coherence microscopy (FF-OCM) is an imaging technique that provides cross-sectional views of the subsurface microstructure of semitransparent objects. The technology is based on low-coherence interference microscopy, which uses an area camera for en face imaging of the full-field illuminated object. FF-OCM benefits from the lateral imaging resolution of optical microscopy along with the capacity of optical axial sectioning at micrometer-scale resolution. The technique can be employed in diverse applications, in particular for non-invasive examination of biological tissues. This handbook is the first to be entirely devoted to FF-OCM. It is organized into four parts with a total of 21 chapters written by recognized experts and major contributors to the field. After a general introduction to FF-OCM, the fundamental characteristics of the technology are analyzed and discussed theoretically. The main technological developments of FF-OCM for improving the image acquisition speed and for endoscopic imaging are presented in part II. Extensions of FF-OCM for image contrast enhancement or functional imaging are reported in part III. The last part of the book provides an overview of possible applications of FF-OCM in medicine, biology, and materials science. A comprehensive compilation of self-contained chapters written by leading experts, this handbook is a definitive guide to the theoretical analyses, technological developments, and applications of FF-OCM. Using the rich information the book is replete with, a wide range of readers, from scientists and physicists to engineers as well as clinicians and biomedical researchers, can get a handle on the latest major advances in FF-OCM.
