Eye Pathology: An Atlas and Basic Text - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

"Eye Pathology: An Atlas and Basic Text" is the long-awaited textbook by Professor Ralph C. Eagle, Jr., internationally respected ophthalmic pathologist and physician-educator, who has taught ocular pathology to literally thousands of ophthalmologists and ophthalmologists-in-training during the past two decades. The atlas comprises more than 600 new, large-format, full-colour illustrations by the author, who is widely known for the excellence and artistic character of his gross and photomicrography. Entirely written by the author, the accompanying text surveys the entire field of ocular pathology, emphasizing clinically important or frequently encountered ocular diseases that embody the traditional knowledge base of the well-trained ophthalmologist. Both succinct and comprehensive, the text emphasizes classic ocular histopathology, but also includes modern molecular biologic discoveries that have lead to a greater understanding of heritable ocular disorders such as ectopia lentis, retinoblastoma and corneal and macular dystrophies. The book concludes with a chapter on practical ocular pathology, which discusses the processing of ocular specimens and includes sections on special stains and immunohistochemistry. Nearly, 1200 up-to-date references complement the text. The book can serve as a basic introduction text for beginning residents or medical students, a well-illustrated reference for the surgical pathologist and a review text for ophthalmologists who are studying for board-certification examinations.
