Recent Progress In Eye Research

Download or read book Recent Progress in Eye Research written by Frederik Arno and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tania Martín-Pérez, Ángel Criado-Fornelio, Manuel Ávila-Blanco, and Jorge Pérez-Serrano begin this book by reviewing studies that propose species identification should be established on complete gene sequence rather than small fragments that might be unreliable. Afterwards, Eva García Millán, Ana Castro-Balado, Anxo Fernández-Ferreiro, and Francisco J. Otero-Espinar suggest that soft contact lenses have potential to be used as drug delivery systems by way of a medicated lens. Next, Maria J Giraldez, Ph.D., Carlos Garcia-Resua, Ph.D., and Eva Yebra-Pimentel, Ph.D. examine the properties of contact lenses in order to determine a means of reducing microbial contamination. Pablo J Franco, Pablo H Sande, Florencia González Fleitas, Julián D Devouassoux, Georgia Milnes, Hernán H Dieguez, Marcos L Aranda, Damián Dorfman, and Ruth E. Rosenstein present research that shows biologic treatments could be used in uveitis treatment. Following this, Rodrigo Mora-Martínez and Ernesto Suaste-Gómez, Ph.D. explore the impact of chromatic stimuli on various pupillary phenomena to reveal divergences between separate chromaticities. Frederick R Burgess and Roly Megaw provide an overview of the known literature on mesenchymal stem cells physiology. Then, David Lozano Giral, MD, Enrique Graue-Hernández, MD, and Alejandro Navas MD, Ph.D. review the cornea and its properties. Sivan M Elyashiv and Richard B Rosencompare in face OCT images with OCT angiograms in an effort to identify the level of capillary dropout, remodelling, and the development of neo-vascularisation.

Download or read book Animal Models in Eye Research written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-04-28 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eye is a complex sensory organ, which enables visual perception of the world. Thus the eye has several tissues that do different tasks. One of the most basic aspects of eye function is the sensitivity of cells to light and its transduction though the optic nerve to the brain. Different organisms use different ways to achieve these tasks. In this sense, eye function becomes a very important evolutionary aspect as well. This book presents the different animal models that are commonly used for eye research and their uniqueness in evaluating different aspects of eye development, evolution, physiology and disease. - Presents information on the major animal models used in eye research including invertebrates and vertebrates - Provides researchers with information needed to choose between model organisms - Includes an introductory chapter on the different types of eyes, stressing possible common molecular machinery

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.

Download or read book The Eye written by John V. Forrester and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eye: Basic Sciences in Practice provides highly accessible, concise coverage of all the essential basic science required by today's ophthalmologists and optometrists in training. It is also essential reading for those embarking on a career in visual and ophthalmic science, as well as an invaluable, current refresher for the range of practitioners working in this area. This new fourth edition has now been fully revised and updated in line with current curricula, key research developments and clinical best practice. It succinctly incorporates the massive strides being made by genetics and functional genomics based on the Human Genome Project, the new understanding of how the microbiome affects all aspects of immunology, the remarkable progress in imaging technology now applied to anatomy and neurophysiology, as well as exciting new molecular and other diagnostic methodologies now being used in microbiology and pathology. All this and more collectively brings a wealth of new knowledge to students and practitioners in the fields of ophthalmology and visual science. For the first time, this (print) edition also now comes with bonus access to the complete, fully searchable electronic text - including carefully selected additional information and new video content to further explain and expand on key concepts - making The Eye a more flexible, comprehensive and engaging learning package than ever before. The only all-embracing textbook of basic science suitable for trainee ophthalmologists, optometrists and vision scientists - other books concentrate on the individual areas such as anatomy. Attractive page design with clear, colour diagrams and text boxes make this a much more accessible book to learn from than many postgraduate textbooks. Presents in a readable form an account of all the basic sciences necessary for an understanding of the eye - anatomy, embryology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology and infection and pathology. More on molecular pathology. Thorough updating of the sections on pathology, immunology, pharmacology and immunology. Revision of all other chapters.
