Basic Sciences in Ophthalmology: Physics and Chemistry

Autor Josef Flammer, Maneli Mozaffarieh, Hans Bebie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mar 2013

Pregătirea pentru examenul de rezidențiat sau pentru certificările board în oftalmologie necesită o înțelegere riguroasă a principiilor care guvernează funcționarea echipamentelor și patologia oculară. În acest volum, Basic Sciences in Ophthalmology, notăm cu interes efortul autorilor de a demistifica fizica și chimia aplicată, oferind o bază teoretică solidă pentru practica clinică modernă. Considerăm că forța acestui manual rezidă în capacitatea de a explica interacțiunea luminii cu țesutul ocular, de la metodele tradiționale de imagistică până la tehnologii avansate precum OCT-ul și intervențiile laser.

Subliniem organizarea logică a conținutului, care progresează de la natura luminii și sursele de radiație către o secțiune de chimie extrem de relevantă pentru fiziopatologia oculară. Sunt analizate în detaliu rolul oxigenului, al oxidului nitric și mecanismele reacțiilor redox, elemente esențiale pentru înțelegerea stresului oxidativ la nivelul retinei. Această abordare completează lucrarea Introduction to Visual Optics prin adăugarea unei dimensiuni chimice și moleculare profunde, acolo unde alte resurse se limitează doar la optica geometrică.

Josef Flammer își folosește expertiza recunoscută din lucrările sale anterioare, precum Ocular Blood Flow and Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy, pentru a contextualiza importanța metabolismului ocular. Spre deosebire de Adler's Physiology of the Eye, care oferă o privire de ansamblu asupra funcției sistemice, volumul de față se concentrează chirurgical pe fundamentele fizico-chimice ale instrumentației și farmacologiei de bază. Cele 450 de ilustrații nu sunt simple elemente decorative, ci instrumente didactice care facilitează vizualizarea unor fenomene abstracte, transformând acest hardback într-o resursă de referință pentru orice specialist care dorește să înțeleagă mecanismele din spatele diagnosticului.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este esențială pentru rezidenții și specialiștii care se pregătesc pentru examene de certificare, oferind fundamentul științific necesar utilizării corecte a tehnologiilor moderne precum OCT sau laserul. Cititorul câștigă o claritate conceptuală asupra stresului oxidativ și a opticii fizice, elemente care diferențiază un clinician informat de un simplu utilizator de echipamente medicale.


Despre autor

Josef Flammer este un renumit profesor de oftalmologie, cunoscut la nivel internațional pentru cercetările sale de pionierat în domeniul glaucomului și al circulației sanguine oculare. Alături de Maneli Mozaffarieh și Hans Bebie, acesta a dezvoltat o metodologie educațională care pune accent pe legătura dintre fiziopatologia moleculară și simptomatologia clinică. Opera sa este marcată de o rigoare academică specifică școlii elvețiene, Flammer fiind autorul a numeroase studii care au schimbat protocoalele de management în patologiile neurodegenerative ale ochiului.

Recenzii

“The text is accompanied by beautiful, concise illustrations (by Natasa Cmiljanovic, Rebekka Heeb and Peter Räber) that are of great value in conveying the main points. … this is a book worth having and consulting when you wish to be reminded of the fundamentals … .” (Shiri Diskin, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 255, 2017)

Notă biografică

Josef Flammer, MD, is Professor and Head of the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Basel, Switzerland. He studied medicine at the Universities of Fribourg and Bern and submitted his thesis in the field of neurobiology in 1975. After the residency in neurology, medicine, and ophthalmology in Switzerland, he became a Research Fellow at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Since 1987, he has been Head of the Department of Ophthalmology in Basel and also served two years as Dean of the Faculty of Medicine. He has been the recipient of many awards, including the International Chibret Award, the Alfred Vogt Award, the Alcon Award, the William MacKenzie Award, the Montgomery Award, the Medal of the University of Helsinki, the Gold Medal of the Saudi Arabia Ophthalmological Society, and the Georg Bartisch Award among others. He has been an invited Professor and guest lecturer in many places and an honoree member of various organizations. He has been the lead author or co-author on numerous articles as well as a number of books.
Maneli Mozaffarieh, MD, obtained a Bachelor of Science (Major in Microbiology) from McGill University, Montreal, before studying medicine at the Medical University of Vienna, where she graduated in 1999. She then undertook research at the same university before entering general practice in 2003. From 2005 to 2009, Dr. Mozaffarieh was a Resident and Research Fellow in the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Basel, obtaining Certificates in Basic Science Assessment and in Optics and Refraction, as well as in Clinical Science from the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO).

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Basic Sciences in Ophthalmology aims to link clinical ophthalmology directly to its basic science roots. This first volume describes the physics and chemistry required for a sound understanding of modern ophthalmology. The text guides the reader from short descriptions of historical background and basic introductions to recent aspects that are relevant in daily clinical practice.
 
The eye is the organ that recognizes light, and most examinations and many treatments rely on light. Therefore, the book starts with an extensive discussion of the nature of light, the interaction of light with matter, and the way in which light is used in ophthalmic examinations and treatments. After describing traditional methods of imaging, particular emphasis is placed on modern instrumentation such as OCT. This topic is complemented by discussion of other techniques including ultrasound, X-rays, and MRI. A comprehensive overview is devoted to the interaction between light and tissues in different types of laser treatment. The chemistry section focuses on compounds particularly relevant to the eye, such as oxygen and water. Special attention is also devoted to the origin and consequences of oxidative stress. Finally, the physical behavior of chemical compounds, such as gas or silicone oil, in the eye is explained.
 
The complex material is made easy to understand through the use of many examples taken from the field of ophthalmology. The text is complemented by about 450 figures. This volume will be a great asset both to residents preparing for their basic science examination and to experienced professionals, including ophthalmologists and optometrists.
