Book excerpt: The WHO Classification of Tumours of the Eye is the 12th and final volume in the 4th edition of the WHO series on the classification of human tumors. The series (also known as the Blue Books) has long been regarded by pathologists as the gold standard for the diagnosis of tumors, and it is an indispensable guide for the design of evaluations, clinical trials, and studies involving cancer. These authoritative and concise reference books provide an international standard for anyone involved in cancer research or the care of cancer patients. Diagnostic criteria, pathological features, and genetic and other associated molecular alterations are described in a disease-oriented manner. This volume updates the existing ICD-O codes and provides new codes for use in epidemiology and cancer registration. It also provides information on clinical features, pathology, genetics, programs, and protective factors for each of the tumor types covered. The editors expect that this volume will be of particular interest to pathologists, oncologists, and ophthalmologists who manage or research tumors of the eye. Sections are included on all recognized neoplasms (and their variants) of the eye, lacrimal apparatus, and conjunctiva. There have been particularly substantial changes to the classification of conjunctival neoplasia and melanoma, based on the latest information from genetic and molecular studies. An e-book version of this title is also available. If you have already purchased the print product and wish to have the e-version as well, IARC is offering special top-up pricing.

Download or read book The Mind s Eye written by Oliver Sacks and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Mind’s Eye, Oliver Sacks tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the power of speech, the capacity to recognize faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world. There is Lilian, a concert pianist who becomes unable to read music and is eventually unable even to recognize everyday objects, and Sue, a neurobiologist who has never seen in three dimensions, until she suddenly acquires stereoscopic vision in her fifties. There is Pat, who reinvents herself as a loving grandmother and active member of her community, despite the fact that she has aphasia and cannot utter a sentence, and Howard, a prolific novelist who must find a way to continue his life as a writer even after a stroke destroys his ability to read. And there is Dr. Sacks himself, who tells the story of his own eye cancer and the bizarre and disconcerting effects of losing vision to one side. Sacks explores some very strange paradoxes—people who can see perfectly well but cannot recognize their own children, and blind people who become hyper-visual or who navigate by “tongue vision.” He also considers more fundamental questions: How do we see? How do we think? How important is internal imagery—or vision, for that matter? Why is it that, although writing is only five thousand years old, humans have a universal, seemingly innate, potential for reading? The Mind’s Eye is a testament to the complexity of vision and the brain and to the power of creativity and adaptation. And it provides a whole new perspective on the power of language and communication, as we try to imagine what it is to see with another person’s eyes, or another person’s mind.
Download or read book Eye Cancer written by Minati Bisoyi and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is ocular melanoma? (cancer of the eye)As per the American Academy of Ophthalmology, OM is the most common essential cancer of the eye in adults. The cancer develops in the cells that produce the eye's pigment. It can likewise develop on the conjunctiva, the bodily fluid layer that spread the eye and line the eyelid. Most eye melanomas develop in a part of the eye you can't see. The early stages of the cancer infrequently cause any signs or symptoms. That's why you might not have the option to spot this type of melanoma the manner in which you might a spot or surprising mole on your skin. However, people may spot cautioning indications of the cancer as it develops. Symptoms of OM incorporate blurry or distorted vision, a vulnerable side in your vision, seeing "blazing" lights, or a dull spot in your field of vision. One cluster has been found among Auburn University graduated class. Ocular melanoma, otherwise called uveal melanoma, is an exceptionally uncommon type of cancer. Every year, just 2,500 people - or about 5 out of 1 million - get a diagnosis with this type of eye cancer. That statistic is exactly why two communities - Huntersville, North Carolina, and Auburn, Alabama - are such oddities. Both towns are associated with a high number of ocular melanoma (OM) cases. Researchers want to know why. "We see patients from everywhere throughout the country and a few patients from outside of the country. Certainly if we have patients who know one another or who lived and experienced childhood in a similar town, that has been somewhat of a warning for us in trying to make sense of if there's something else going on," said Dr. Marlana Orloff, an oncologist at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia who has practical experience in the treatment and study of OM. Take Auburn, for example. The town of 63,000 people is in a state of just under 5 million people. It's home to one of Alabama's largest universities, Auburn University. Thirty-three people with connections to the town or university have gotten conclusions of OM. The fundamental common thread between them is by all accounts that they all lived or worked in the town between 1980 and the early 1990s. Huntersville, a community north of Charlotte, is slightly littler, with a population of almost 55,000. But 18 people who lived, worked, or spent substantial amounts of time in the town since 2000 have gotten judgments of OM. As the quantity of cases continues to develop in these zones, so does the interest in people who've developed the cancer - and, maybe more importantly, what they all share for all intents and purpose. As the cancer advances, you may notice that the state of your understudy changes. A dim spot or "spot" may develop on the iris. "Sometimes it will get got on a routine eye exam. Other times, patients will have symptoms, often symptoms of a retinal detachment," Orloff said. "They go to an eye doctor, they get alluded to a retinal specialist, and after that ultimately to an ocular oncologist who makes the diagnosis." Ocular Melanoma Foundation statistics identify 55 years of age as the middle age for an OM diagnosis. Those two facts alone make the cases in Huntersville and Auburn even increasingly extraordinary. In both towns, women have gotten analyze all the more frequently, Orloff says, and the majority of the people with OM have been younger, well below the middle age of a typical diagnosis. Social networks spread awareness In 2001, Allyson Allred, an Auburn University graduate living in Hoover, Alabama, got an OM diagnosis. A year earlier, she told AL.com, Allred was sent a prayer request for an Auburn alum - and a lady who had lived in a similar dorm as she amid their green bean and sophomore years at the school - who had been determined to have this equivalent uncommon cancer. When Allred got her diagnosis, she contacted the lady, and they connected over the mutual diagnosis.

Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION WHAT IS EYE CANCER? Eye cancer, also referred to as ocular cancer, refers to the proliferation of atypical cells in or around the eye. Those cancerous cells can affect diverse parts of the eye, consisting of the iris, retina, conjunctiva, and tissues surrounding the eye. Eye cancers, also called ocular cancer, are an extraordinary but critical situation that influences the tissues in and around the eye. It takes place while ordinary cells in the eye develop and divide uncontrollably. Those ordinary cells can form a tumor, which may be both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous). Eye cancer can increase in extraordinary elements of the attention, inclusive of the eyelids, conjunctiva (the skinny, clear tissue that covers the white part of the attention and the inner floor of the eyelid), the iris (the colored part of the attention), the ciliary frame (the part of the attention that produces the fluid inside the attention), the choroid (the layer of blood vessels that nourishes the retina), and the retina (the light-touchy layer behind the eye).
