Systemic Diseases and the Eye: Clinical Signs and Differential Diagnosis - Tapa dura

This title encourages the ophthalmologist to view the patient as a whole to aid with the differential diagnosis of systemic and ocular signs. It comprehensively covers all systemic diseases associated with the eye. The book is divided into three parts. Part one, lavishly illustrated in full colour, shows different ocular conditions and related signs, and gives the systemic diseases associated with them. Part two covers the differential diagnosis of systemic signs, and is again highly illustrated. Finally, part three links the different ocular and systemic features and signs together. The illustrations are enhanced with brief, bullet-point style text which follows a tightly controlled, consistent format for ease of reference.

Beautifully illustrated with over 500 colour pictures of the highest standard, and organized in an extremely user-friendly fashion, this title will appeal to trainee and practising ophthalmologists and optometrists, and primary care physicians.

Jack Kanski is arguably the best-known author in ophthalmology worldwide. His textbook Clinical Ophthalmology, published by Butterworth-Heinemann, is a competitor to our Spalton, and is the current textbook of choice for ophthalmology trainees and optometrists worldwide. He is also the author of our extremely successful Ophthalmology: Clinical Signs and Differential Diagnosis, published in 1998 under the Mosby imprint. His previous projects have mainly beenpublished by Butterworth, but he has come to Harcourt because of our style of presentation and strong presence in the US ophthalmology market.
