For more than 17 years, Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases has been the classic text on this essential imaging technology. This completely revised and updated Third Edition of Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases reflects the quickly advancing technology of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Incorporated within over 600 pages are a multitude of updated features unique to this Third Edition including over 1,200 color images, state-of-the-art technology, and case presentations. These elements cohesively work together to successfully demonstrate the retina in normal and diseased states using spectral domain OCT. Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Third Edition is written with the clinician in mind. The text's primary objective is to illustrate the appearance of the eye in health and disease, comparing conventional clinical technologies using spectral domain OCT imaging. This method introduces the clinician to the manifestations of disease as indicated by OCT, while presenting the more familiar fundoscopic and fluorescein angiographic views side- by-side. Drs. Joel S. Schuman, Carmen A. Puliafito, James G. Fujimoto, and Jay Duker, together with their 17 contributors, have collaborated to revise and update this best-selling comprehensive resource to reflect the current state-of-the-art technology of spectral domain OCT. OCT applications in retinal diseases, glaucoma, neuro- ophthalmology, anterior segment, and a description of OCT technologies are all topics extensively covered in this new Third Edition. Two appendices are included that contain a wealth of technical information for those interested in learning more about the physical principles of operation of this diagnostic imaging technology, as well as scanning and image processing protocols. Features: * Utilizes and interprets spectral domain OCT imaging from multiple machines. * Over 1,200 color images. * Strong focus on reti

Looking for a quick and easy manual that will provide quick but comprehensive set-up and how-to techniques for most gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures?Turn to the "Johns Hopkins Manual of Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Procedures, Second Edition" by Jeanette Ogilvie, Lisa M. Hicks, and Dr. Anthony N. Kalloo for the latest information that will help to simplify this rapidly evolving technique.This Second Edition includes: definitions and indications for common endoscopic procedures; listings of necessary equipment; photographs and illustrations; detailed outline of nursing care before, during, and after endoscopic procedures; general guidelines for moderate sedation, equipment disinfection, and sterilization; and, special considerations for patients with specific medical conditions.Some new techniques inside the Second Edition include: anti-reflux procedures; cryotherapy; and, full-thickness fundoplication.

This guide offers the reader a comprehensive theraputic approach for the evaluation and treatment of myofascial pain and musculoskeletal dysfunction. This manual serves as a quick reference for clinically relevant items that pertain to the identification and management of trigger points. The first section of the book covers the therapy and research regarding the Myofascial Trigger Point Syndrome. Treatment methods and techniques are also covered in a comprehensive step-by-step format. The second section includes the most important muscles that tend to have a higher incidence of the myofascial involvement. Each muscle is supplemented by two pages of text and illustrations in order to aid the student or clinician in an institutional or practicing setting. The muscle page contains a plethora of information for the reader including muscle origin, insertion, location of trigger points, referenced pain patterns, myofascial stretching exercises, positive stretch signs, and biomechanics of injury.
