Vitiligo
by Alain Taïeb Mauro PicardoSince the first edition of this book was published, new knowledge has been gained on Vitiligo. This widely revised and updated second edition, written by worldwide experts in the field, fully reflects this progress. The apparently, simple and poorly symptomatic presentation of the disease has been a strong disadvantage to its study, as compared to other common chronic skin disorders such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. A good skin-based angle of attack is also lacking because generalized Vitiligo is clearly epitomizing the view of skin diseases as simple targets of a systemic unknown dysregulation (diathesis). This view has mostly restricted Vitiligo to the manifestation of an auto-immune diathesis and skin events, which are easily detected using skin biospies in most other situations, have not been precisely recorded, with the argument that a clinical diagnosis was sufficient for the management of the patient with Vitiligo. This richly illustrated second edition reflects the constant international effort to share the information gathered about this disorder at the clinical, pathophysiological and therapeutic levels. Its aim still being to bridge current knowledge at the clinical and investigative level, to point to the many unsolved issues, and to delineate future priorities for research.
Vitreoretinal Disorders (Current Practices in Ophthalmology)
by Glenn YiuThis book discusses the newest trends, concepts, and advancements in the management of vitreo-retinal conditions. The field of retina is rapidly changing, with new advances ranging from stem cell therapy, gene therapy and editing, new drug targets, novel delivery systems, and innovative technologies in advanced ocular imaging and surgical techniques. The goal is to provide a way to update practitioners and trainees on how the field of retina is changing. Areas of focus include new technologies, particularly in ocular imaging and vitreo-retinal surgery, major new clinical trials, particularly those that are shifting practice patterns or addressing novel therapies, and novel research that is altering the classification and diagnosis of retinal conditions, as well as management strategies and prognostic predictors for vitreo-retinal diseases. This volume is essential reading for generalist and specialist ophthalmologists and useful for residents and fellows training in various subspecialties.
Vitreoretinal Disorders in Primary Care
by Thomas H. WilliamsonEmergency ophthalmology is an area full of pitfalls for the unwary primary care practitioner. Vitreoretinal disorders make up the majority of emergency sight-threatening conditions, and a wide and increasingly varied range of conditions of the eye present in primary care settings. Correct diagnosis at initial presentation, and appropriate and speedy referral, are extremely important. This book is therefore an essential reference for the primary care physician, who is often the first to see these patients and is in a position of responsibility for decision-making.
Vitreoretinal Surgery: Strategies and Tactics
by Ferenc KuhnThis book is exceptional in explaining not only when and how but also why vitrectomy is performed - an additional focus that will help trainee surgeons to develop their own critical thinking. Uniquely, the book's first part describes "the life of the vitreoretinal surgeon" to help residents decide whether the field is indeed suitable for them, and if yes, how they can chart their own course in the absence of a formal fellowship program. The second and third parts discuss the fundamentals in VR surgery, such as the general philosophy underlying vitrectomy, equipment, examination, timing, anesthesia, the surgeon's posture, and the organization of the operating room. The final two parts are dedicated to surgical strategy and tissue tactics, reviewing the principles of surgical maneuvers and the practical sides of diagnosis-specific issues. An appendix is also included, which offers additional guideposts for the aspiring trainee surgeon, including a description of how an ideal mentor should act in surgery. The book is written in an easy-to-follow format with bullet points and text boxes, and has well over 250 color images and line drawings as well as over 60 tables.
Vitreoretinal Surgery

Vitreous
by J. SebagThe vitreous body long has been the most mysterious of all ocular structures, owing perhaps to its seeming simplicity. There have been few concerted, sustained efforts to unravel the mysteries of how vitreous is composed and what role it plays in normal physiology as well as pathology. Over the years, however, many studies have produced important findings concerning vitreous biochemistry, structure, physiology, and pathobiology. Published on the 25th anniversary of Sebag's first book on Vitreous, this second installment is nearly five times longer than its predecessor, reflecting how much has been learned in the past quarter century. This well-constructed compendium not only addresses the most current scientific knowledge, but also reviews clinical perspectives in a manner that lends richness to the scope of the book. Written by 90 authors, this book has 56 chapters organized into 7 sections: Biochemistry; Anatomy, Development, and Aging; Pathology/Pathobiology; Physiology and Phamacotherapy; Posterior Vitreo-Retinal Surgery; Peripheral Vitreo-Retinal Surgery; and Pharmacologic Vitreolysis. With a foreword by Coleman & Lincoff and an introduction by Wallace Foulds, Sebag's latest tome on vitreous is destined to be the authoritative text for years to come.

Las voces del laberinto
by Ricard Ruiz GarzónEste libro da voz a quienes habitualmente no la tienen. A aquellos que, extraviados en el laberinto de la enfermedad mental, sufren el rechazo de una sociedad presuntamente cuerda. Basados en quince testimonios reales sobre el padecimiento de la esquizofrenia, los relatos recogidos en Las voces del laberinto transmiten el dolor, el desconcierto, la impotencia y también la esperanza de quienes buscan una salida a la encrucijada que ofusca su existencia. Más que un tratado de psiquiatría, un ensayo sociológico o un manual de autoayuda, Las voces del laberinto es una aproximación testimonial, una recreación de casos reales que privilegia el punto de vista de los enfermos para romper tópicos, ahuyentar prejuicios y contribuir a la destrucción del estigma que el mal llamado esquizofrénico padece aún en nuestra sociedad.

Voeten en diabetes
by Margreet Van PuttenHet boek Voeten en Diabetes is inmiddels aan de 4e druk toe. Arts/onderzoeker Margreet van Putten heeft de tekst volledig herzien, mede naar aanleiding van het uitkomen van de Richtlijn Diabetische Voet 2017. Het boek ‘De diabetische voet en de Sims classificatie’ is volledig ingevoegd in deze versie van Voeten en Diabetes. Daarmee geeft dit boek een compleet overzicht over de voetproblemen van mensen met diabetes. Elke voetzorgprofessional en andere zorgprofessionals die de diabetische voet ter hand nemen zullen met veel interesse de nieuwe inhoud lezen. Naast de belangrijke oorzaken van de diabetische risicovoet, diabetische neuropathie en perifeer arterieel vaatlijden, wordt een apart hoofdstuk besteed aan de Charcot-voet. Deze complicatie van diabetische neuropathie geeft een zeer hoog risico op een wond(ulcus) en moet door iedere (voet)zorgprofessional herkend worden. Dit geldt ook voor de gevolgen van mechanische stress, druk en wrijving, en wat dit teweeg kan brengen aan schade aan voeten van mensen met diabetes. De Sims classificatie en het bepalen van het risico op een ulcus wordt eveneens uitgebreid besproken. Nieuw in dit boek is de aandacht voor de risico’s van mechanische stress en wat een pre-ulcus is en het voorkomen van ulcera door de juiste preventieve maatregelen. Uitgebreid wordt ingegaan op wanneer eelt een gevaar is voor het ontstaan van een ulcus en wanneer niet en, het geven van voorlichting en educatie. Tot slot is op veler verzoek een apart hoofdstuk besteed aan ulcera en het herkennen daarvan. Het boek Voeten en Diabetes zou niet compleet zijn zonder de protocollen, het formulier om de Sims classificatie te bepalen en de vele sprekende foto’s. Margreet van Putten is expert op het gebied van preventie van diabetische voetulcera en zet zich hier al jarenlang voor in. Met dit boek hoopt zij een nieuwe bijdrage te leveren aan de verdere professionalisering van de voetzorg.
