Content: The purpose of this important new book is to provide basic scientists working in the field of glaucoma with a current understanding of the clinical aspects of glaucoma. The authors comprehensively review the most current knowledge available in the field and provide a basis in which researchers can effectively study the glaucomas. The multidisciplinary book will be of great value as its contents will aid the reader in prevention of blindness from glaucoma.

Content: The mechanisms of the various forms of glaucoma were unknown at the outset of the twentieth century. Late in the twentieth century, two nascent areas of research were beginning to provide glimpses of what the twenty-first century held in store for the future of glaucoma: the mechanisms of glaucomatous optic neuropathy and the molecular basis of the glaucomas. In Mechanisms of the Glaucomas: Disease Processes and Therapeutic Modalities, the authors review the most current knowledge available in the field and provide a basis in which researchers can effectively study the glaucomas. The intent of the book is not primarily to describe the clinical appearances of the glaucomas nor how to manage them. Rather, it is to provide basic scientists, who are working in the field of glaucoma, with a current understanding of the clinical aspects of glaucoma, and to provide clinician scientists with the basic knowledge, as they attempt to translate it into rational treatments for glaucoma. In this important new book leaders in the various fields of glaucoma review our current understanding of glaucoma from epidemiology and genetics through molecular, cellular and tissue responses to the mechanisms of the glaucomas and the mechanisms by which we manage them. Mechanisms of the Glaucomas: Disease Processes and Therapeutic Modalities will be of great value as its contents will aid the reader in prevention of blindness from glaucoma.

Content: Es ist das Verdienst von Professor Günter K. Krieglstein, das weltweit verwendete Standardwerk über Glaukome von M. Bruce Shields ins Deutsche übersetzt und im Hinblick auf die Gegebenheiten im deutschprachigen Raum bearbeitet zu haben. Der SHIELDS/KRIEGLSEIN bietet also mehr als nur die Übersetzung eines amerikanischen Lehrbuch-Klassikers: Es entspricht den Anforderungen einer deutschsprachigen Leserschaft, und es ist überdies in bezug auf das Bildmaterial reichhaltiger ausgestattet. Augenärzte in Klinik und Praxis erhalten einen profunden und aktuellen Überblick über Ätiologie und Pathophysiologie der Glaukome, über eine zeitgemäße Diagnostik sowie eine Fülle neuer Behandlungswege in der Glaukomtherapie. - Beispielsweise werden neuartige Wirkstoffe und deren Wirkmechanismen sowie Nutzen-Risiko-Analyse von medikamenten im Rahmen der medikamentösen Glaukomtherapie diskutiert; auch im Bereich der Lasertherapie der Glaukome wurden eine Reihe neuer Verfahren entwickelt, die traditionellen Therapieformen in einer kritischen Bewertung gegenübergestellt werden. Der SHIELDS/KRIEGLSTEIN bietet mehr als das amerikanische Original und ist eine lohnende Investition

Content: "Thoroughly updated, and now in full color, Shields' Textbook of Glaucoma, Sixth Edition is a clinically focused and practical textbook for general ophthalmologists treating patients with glaucoma. This classic text offers a rational approach to the medical and surgical management of glaucoma and presents a total care plan for the patient. This edition has five new or reconfigured chapters--management of the glaucoma patient/approach to the patient; principles of medical therapy; adrenergic agonists and antagonists; cholinergic stimulators and hyperosmotic agents; and neuroprotection and other investigational drugs. The book examines new technologies for intraocular pressure assessment and current diagnostic technologies such as optical coherence tomography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, Heidelberg retinal tomograph, and GDx. Noted experts detail advances in surgical treatment of glaucoma including new glaucoma implants and angle surgery. Coverage also includes advances in genetics of glaucomatous diseases. A companion website includes the fully searchable text and an image bank"--Provided by publisher.

Note: section I. The basic aspects of glaucoma -- section II. The clinical forms of glaucoma -- section III. Management of glaucoma.
