Clinica dell'apparato visivo
Claudio Azzolini
editore: Edra
pagine: 392
La terza edizione di "Clinica dell’apparato visivo" conferma l’impostazione chiara e sistematica che ha contraddistinto le precedenti edizioni, rinnovandola alla luce dei più recenti sviluppi diagnostici, terapeutici e tecnologici.Il volume offre una trattazione completa dell’apparato visivo, fondata su solide basi di anatomia, fisiologia, fisiopatologia e semeiotica, per guidare lo studente nella comprensione delle principali patologie oculari, della loro eziopatogenesi e dei relativi percorsi diagnostico-terapeutici. Articolato in 30 capitoli suddivisi in 3 sezioni tematiche (generalità, patologie, miscellanea), il testo mantiene continuità con la struttura originale, arricchendosi di nuovi contenuti e approfondimenti.Accanto agli argomenti classici, vengono affrontate aree come:
chirurgia refrattiva,
farmacologia oculare,
neuroftalmologia,
più recenti applicazioni dell’intelligenza artificiale, dell’imaging multimodale e dell’e-Health.
I docenti dei Corsi di Laurea in Medicina e Chirurgia e delle Scuole di Specializzazione in Oftalmologia si sono impegnati per ottenere un giusto equilibrio fra chiarezza, sintesi e completezza sulla base della loro esperienza di educatori e clinici. L’organicità del testo resta un punto di forza essenziale: l’obiettivo è facilitare l’apprendimento e la memorizzazione, offrendo un quadro completo e accessibile delle patologie oculari e delle strategie diagnostiche e terapeutiche.

Presentazione dell’edizione italianaLa tomografia a coerenza ottica (Optical Coherence Tomography, OCT) ha rivoluzionato, in pochi anni, la diagnostica oftalmologica, diventando uno strumento imprescindibile sia nella pratica che nella ricerca clinica. Fin dalla sua introduzione, l’OCT è stato caratterizzato da una rapida diffusione in tutto il mondo, grazie alla sua capacità di fornire immagini ad alta risoluzione e in tempo reale del segmento posteriore e anteriore dell’occhio, offrendo opportunità di medicina di precisione in vivo che, un tempo, erano appannaggio esclusivo delle sezioni istologiche.Oggi l’OCT rappresenta una parte essenziale dell’attività del Medico Oftalmologo, nell’ambito del lavoro svolto in strutture pubbliche o private, e costituisce un supporto fondamentale non solo per la diagnosi, ma anche per il monitoraggio dell’evoluzione clinica e della risposta terapeutica. Da queste considerazioni è nato il nostro interesse ed il nostro impegno nel rendere disponibile in lingua italiana questo atlante, un’opera di grande valore descrittivo, didattico e consultivo che potrà rappresentare un punto di riferimento per la comprensione e l’interpretazione delle scansioni OCT grazie a chiarezza, completezza e rigore scientifico.L’atlante del Dr. Satinder Pal Singh Grewal e del suo gruppo di collaboratori, si distingue per una struttura semplice ed esplicativa, partendo da valutazioni ottenute in occhi normali e accompagnando poi il lettore attraverso una vasta serie di esami riguardanti le molteplici patologie di diverse strutture oculari quali, in particolare, cornea, retina e papilla ottica. Le immagini, di notevole qualità, sono accompagnate da descrizioni puntuali che indirizzano alla comprensione dei reperti morfologici e delle loro implicazioni cliniche. In numerosi casi, le scansioni OCT, come anche quelle angio-OCT, sono affiancate da retinografie o fluorangiografie che permettono una visione diagnostica multimodale. Tale completezza rende l’opera uno strumento prezioso non solo per l’Oftalmologo, ma anche per il Medico in formazione specialistica e l’Ortottista Assistente in Oftalmologia.Curare la traduzione di questo atlante per noi ha significato valorizzare un eccellente lavoro scientifico ed editoriale, allo scopo di contribuire attivamente alla crescita culturale dei professionisti dell’oftalmologia in Italia con un libro di facile consultazione, aggiornato e riccamente illustrato.I nostri più sentiti ringraziamenti sono rivolti alla Dr.ssa Chiara Vivarelli, alla Dr.ssa Ginevra Giovanna Adamo e al Dr. Marco Pellegrini per la loro imprescindibile collaborazione nel lavoro di traduzione e gestione scientifica del testo, volto a mantenere l’accuratezza metodologica e l’impostazione espositiva dell’opera originale.

Bruno Bagolini , Mariarosa Zanasi
editore: Verduci
pagine: 648
A vent’anni dalla prima edizione, questa seconda uscita del volume, curata dalla Dott.ssa Mariarosa Zanasi, rappresenta un’ampia revisione e aggiornamento dell’opera originale, dedicata alla memoria del Prof. Bagolini e arricchita dal contributo di esperti di strabologia: Andrea Piantanida, Giovanni Battista Marcon ed Elisa Bellesini.Il testo mantiene i fondamenti della precedente edizione ma li integra con i più recenti sviluppi in campo diagnostico, fisiopatologico e terapeutico, in particolare grazie ai progressi del neuroimaging. La nuova edizione è impreziosita da una ricca iconografia, numerose illustrazioni, casi aggiornati e video didattici accessibili tramite QR code, che illustrano aspetti diagnostici, terapeutici e chirurgici.L’obiettivo è fornire un percorso formativo completo, rivolto non solo agli strabologi e ortottisti, ma anche a pediatri e neuro-oftalmologi, per guidare nella diagnosi e nella gestione delle diverse forme di strabismo e nistagmo.Tra le principali novità
Approfondimento sui meccanismi di oculomozione, la propriocezione, le pulegge e la compartimentazione muscolare.
Aggiornamento dell’esame del paziente strabico, con particolare attenzione alla rifrazione e ai metodi strabometrici di valutazione.
Revisione dei capitoli dedicati a visione binoculare, sequele dello strabismo, movimenti fusionali e ambliopia, con nuovi strumenti e approcci (Lang Stereopad, studi PEDIG, citicolina, videogames terapeutici, ecc.).
Descrizione dettagliata di nuove forme cliniche e sindromi oculomotorie (Skew Deviation, Parinaud, Duane IV, CFEOM, Brown acquisita, Sagging Eye, Heavy Eye).
Capitoli ampliati su nistagmo, torcicolli oculari, trattamenti non chirurgici e chirurgia dei muscoli oculari, con aggiornamenti sulle tecniche più moderne (Yokoyama, Nishida, Marcon).
Introduzione dell’approccio ortottico alla chirurgia refrattiva e aggiornamenti sull’imaging dei muscoli extraoculari (ecografia, UBM, OCT, TC, RMN).
L’opera si propone come un testo moderno, completo e multimediale, che unisce la tradizione clinica italiana in strabologia alle innovazioni diagnostiche e terapeutiche più recenti.

Wills eye Il manuale. Diagnosi e trattamento delle malattie oculari in ambulatorio e pronto soccorso
Kalla A. Gervasio , Travis J. Peck
editore: Piccin-Nuova Libraria
pagine: 624
Presentazione
Più di dieci anni fa, a Vientiane con l’Orbis Flying Eye Hospital, stavo visitando dei pazienti insieme a un piccolo gruppo di oftalmologi del Sud-Est Asiatico provenienti da Laos, Cambogia, Vietnam, Thailandia e Myanmar. Una signora di mezza età arrivò con una densa vitreite e con l’oftalmoscopio indiretto riuscii a vedere attraverso la foschia una lesione maculare attiva da toxoplasmosi nel polo posteriore. Iniziammo a passare in rassegna gli antibiotici disponibili in quella parte del mondo e, per aiutare la discussione, mandai in autobus un pacco dell’ultima edizione di Wills Eye – Il Manuale.
Mentre sfogliavamo la sezione del libro sulla toxoplasmosi, mi accorsi di un turbinio di mormorii sommessi nella stanza e alzai lo sguardo interrogativo verso il mio interprete per capire il motivo di tutto quel trambusto. “È il tuo libro”, mi ha spiegato, “tutti sono eccitati all’idea di vederlo. Una volta ne hanno visto una copia fotocopiata a Bangkok”.
Quanto sono stato orgoglioso di dire al gruppo entusiasta che avevamo una vera copia di Wills Eye – Il Manuale per ciascuno di loro, portata da Philadelphia! La loro palpabile gioia fu un dono speciale reciproco.
Quell’orgoglio ritrova la sua eco oggi, mentre sfoglio la nuova edizione di quella che è diventata un’opera standard del Canone Oculistico, il libro più venduto nel nostro campo in tutto il mondo, compilato originariamente da un mucchio di note utili messe insieme da due residenti di Wills, Chris Rapuano e Marc Friedberg. Questo straordinario compendio tascabile, condiviso con i loro colleghi specializzandi per essere consultato mentre lavoravano in clinica e al pronto soccorso, è diventato il primo manuale pubblicato nel 1990. Trent’anni dopo mantiene la sua immediatezza e rilevanza clinica, nonostante le numerose modifiche e cambiamenti, e naturalmente il motivo è che è ancora scritto da specializzandi Wills, che sanno cosa richiede l’assistenza ai pazienti in prima linea: informazioni pronte, immediatamente disponibili, concise, accurate e aggiornate!
Questa presentazione non sarebbe completa senza un grato riconoscimento a due giganti che non ci sono più, le cui capacità editoriali hanno ancorato il libro nei tre decenni precedenti: il Dr. William Tasman e il Dr. Edward Jaeger. Impareggiabili e instancabili correttori e consulenti, la loro guida e il loro sostegno sono stati fondamentali per il successo e la diffusione del manuale.
Che questa nuova edizione di Wills Eye – Il Manuale sia un saluto speciale non solo alla Residenza Wills, che questi straordinari accademici hanno servito così abilmente, ma anche all’eredità della loro insostituibile penna editoriale, dei loro saggi consigli, del loro acume clinico e della loro impareggiabile collegialità.
