Book Molecular and Cellular Basis of Visual Acuity

Download or read book Molecular and Cellular Basis of Visual Acuity written by S.R. Hilfer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seventh Symposium on Ocular and Visual Development was held in October, 1982. The aim of the meeting was to develop a broad perspective on visual acuity. The subject was discussed initially in terms of molecular events of photoreception, and the metabolism of the photoreceptor ele ments. Subsequent papers presented the development and complexity of the neurocircuitry and transmitter systems in the retina that process the visual information prior to transfer to the brain. The meeting concluded with a series of papers on behavioral and physiological methods of mea surement of visual acuity in humans, particularly young children. This volume arose from the papers presented at the meeting. We feel that the juxtaposition of research of broadly differing methodologies will be stim ulating, rather than daunting, and will generate an enhanced understand ing of this complex subject. We are indebted to our colleagues: Dr. M. Mote from Temple University, and Drs. J. Siegfried, P. Dayhaw-Barker, and L. Press from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry for their expertise and assistance in the organization of the meeting; to the speakers for their presentations and contributions to this volume; and to the reviewers of the manuscripts for their helpful comments. This symposium could not have been held without the generous support of the Temple University College of Arts and Sciences and the Pennsyl vania College of Optometry. We also thank Merck, Sharp and Dohme, Inc. for their donation.

Book Basic and Clinical Perspectives in Vision Research

Download or read book Basic and Clinical Perspectives in Vision Research written by Jon G. Robbins and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have been asked to write a brief foreword to this volume honoring Hisako Ikeda, providing a review of the accomplishments in our field over the past four decades, when Hisako was an active participant. This I am delighted to do. It has been a most exciting time in vision research and Hisako has been right in the middle of much of the excitement, publishing on a wide variety of topics and providing much new data and many new insights. Hisako's research career can be divided by decades into four quite distinct areas of inquiry. In the 1950s, as a student in Japan, her research interests were psychophysical in nature, and she was concerned with visual illusions, figural aftereffects, and motion detec tion. In the 1960s, after her move to London, she began electrophysiological studies. Much of her work in the 1960s was concerned with the electroretinogram (ERG), its components, and the use of this electrical response for evaluating spectral sensitivities of the eye and retinal degenerations. This work represented the beginning of her electrodiagnostic clinical work, which continued until her retirement.

Book The Molecular and Cellular Basis of Retinal Diseases

Download or read book The Molecular and Cellular Basis of Retinal Diseases written by Steven J. Pittler and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are more than 300 genes that have been identified which carry mutations that cause various forms of retinal dysfunction and degeneration, making the study of retinal diseases a subject of high relevance. In this compendium of original and review articles, many of the diseases and pathways associated with disorders of the retina are examined using animal models, to provide the reader with a good overview of current retinal research. Within this volume, you will find research reports on many of the most prominent retinal disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). We hope that the work presented here will stimulate new ideas and lead to effective treatments for retinal diseases.

Book Principles and Practice of Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision  second edition

Download or read book Principles and Practice of Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision second edition written by John R. Heckenlively and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2006-04-07 with total page 1033 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited second edition of an authoritative reference on electrophysiologic vision testing, including detailed information on techniques and problems, basic physiology and anatomy, theoretical concepts, and clinical findings; with extensive new material. This authoritative text is the only comprehensive reference available on electrophysiologic vision testing, offering both practical information on techniques and problems as well as basic physiology and anatomy, theoretical concepts, and clinical correlations. The second edition, of the widely used text, offers extensive new material and updated information: 65 of the 84 chapters are completely new, with the changes reflecting recent advances in the field. The book will continue to be an essential resource for practitioners and scholars from a range of disciplines within vision science. The contributions not only cover new information—important material that is likely to become more important in the next decade—but also offer a long-range perspective on the field and its remarkable development in the last century. After discussing the history and background of clinical electrophysiology, the book introduces the anatomy of the retina and principles of cell biology in the visual pathways at the molecular, physiological, and biochemical levels. It relates these new findings to the techniques and interpretations of clinical tests, including the electro-oculogram (EOG), electroretinogram (ERG), and visual evoked potentials (VEP), which are discussed in detail, as are equipment, data acquisition and analysis, principles and protocols for clinical testing, diseases and dysfunction, and animal testing. Notable additions for this edition include chapters on the origin of electroretinogram waveforms, multifocal techniques, testing in standard laboratory animals, recent advances in analysis of abnormalities in disease, and the applications of these techniques to the study of genetic abnormalities.

Book Eye Cancer Research Progress

Download or read book Eye Cancer Research Progress written by Edwin B. Bospene and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer of the eye is uncommon. It can affect the outer parts of the eye, such as the eyelid, which are made up of muscles, skin and nerves. If the cancer starts inside the eyeball it's called intraocular cancer. The most common intraocular cancers in adults are melanoma and lymphoma. The most common eye cancer in children is retinoblastoma, which starts in the cells of the retina. Cancer can also spread to the eye from other parts of the body. Treatment for eye cancer varies by the type and by how advanced it is. It may include surgery, radiation therapy, freezing or heat therapy, or laser therapy. This new book presents research from around the world.
