By Peter J. J. Gooris, Maarten P. Mourits, J. Eelco Bergsma. 2023
This OpenAccess - textbook sheds new light on pathology in and around the orbit, which is typically an area where…
many medical disciplines overlap. Each physician brings a specific expertise, but the goal should be that the end result of all this input is much more than the sum of the parts. Collaboration, insight and overall knowledge of all parties involved are essential to achieve an optimal patient outcome.Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons have traditionally focused on the bony parts of the orbit, but usually have limited knowledge of the intricacies of binocular single vision, and for the Ophthalmologist it may be the other way around. In the past, scientific articles were often written from a single point of view, resulting in tunnel vision for the physician. The multidisciplinary approach to the orbit leads to an improvement in treatment that should not be underestimated and from which the patient benefits immensely. But especially for the physician and the trainees, a multidisciplinary consultation is a real goldmine in which a lot can be gained. Not every medical problem needs to be tackled in a multidisciplinary framework, but problems around the eye socket often do.At Amphia Hospital in Breda, the Netherlands, more than fifteen years ago, a collaboration between Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Endocrinologists, Radiologists and Ophthalmologists was initiated, which has proven to be very fruitful. The main focus was on Graves' Orbitopathy and orbital fractures, but problems associated with these conditions were also frequently encountered. For those who want to follow this example, or for those who are interested in both orbital surgery, anatomy or ophthalmological orbital issues, this book could prove to be complementary.Atlas of Lacrimal Drainage Disorders

drainage disorders with 4400+ images.. Lacrimal disorders are one of the most common conditions encountered not only by oculoplastic surgeons and general ophthalmologists, but also by otorhinolaryngologists in their daily practice.

Surgical modalities including the endoscopic approaches are thoroughly and succinctly captured in pictures with detailed legends to aid understanding and offer a visual treat. The book discusses how to deal with surgical complications and failure in detail since familiarity with a surgical technique is incomplete without the knowledge of risk factors and redflags.The 2nd edition of the Atlas of Lacrimal Drainage Disorders is an essential companion to the author’s previous work ‘Principles and Practice of Lacrimal Surgery’.This detailed guide is an indispensable resource for practicing ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, dacryologists, ophthalmology residents, ophthalmology fellows, practicing otorhinolaryngologists, otolaryngology residents and rhinology fellows.Plastic Surgery of the Lower Eyelids
By Jeremiah P. Tao. 2023
This textbook details knowledge and techniques required for the management of a broad spectrum of lower eyelid malposition, conditions, and…
cosmetic surgery. The lower eyelids are very prone to malposition and even mild scarring or slight irregularities cause patient dissatisfaction. Ectropion, lagophthalmos, and retraction are common results of attempts to repair or rejuvenate the periocular area, but also pose serious risks to the eye. Skills in forestalling these issues as well as repairing them when they do are occur are paramount for any facial surgeon and are covered throughout the textbook.Plastic Surgery of the Lower Eyelids explores solutions and treatment of the spectrum of lower eyelid conditions and aesthetic concerns. It also highlights both functional and cosmetic surgery of the lower eyelids and cheeks that often co-exist. In addition to treatments for eyelid retraction that occurs after cosmetic lower eyelid surgery, this textbook details maneuvers that forestall malposition when performing aesthetic surgery. Residents, fellows and clinicians in oculoplastic surgery, ophthalmology, plastic surgery and other related fields will find this textbook to be an essential guide for delivering safe and effective lower eyelid surgery.Autonomic Disorders in Clinical Practice
By Giuseppe Micieli, Max Hilz, Pietro Cortelli. 2023
This book is focused on a clinical-based diagnostic approach of autonomic dysfunctions, highlighting main diagnostic tools and pharmacological and non-pharmacological…
therapies available nowadays. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a subcomponent of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and dysfunction of one or more subdivisions of the ANS, when accompanying other diseases, is linked to a worse prognosis of the latter. In some circumstances or when severe, dysfunction of ANS itself results in symptoms and disability. A myriad of factors can cause autonomic dysfunction and more than one can concur even in the same patient; due to the expansive nature of the ANS, patients can be affected by a wide range of conditions. Each chapter is characterized by a similar structure and is devoted to a different dysfunction. For each pathology, the book offers the essential information on mechanisms of action, treatments and outcomes. Written by experts in the research of these disorders, the volume addresses primarily Neurologists, but will be a useful tool also for Gastroenterologists, Ophthalmologists, Urologists, Cardiologists and Internal medicine specialists.Ophthalmic Signs in Practice of Medicine

several intra and extraocular signs that help the ophthalmologists to reach a diagnosis and suggest the presence or absence of an underlying severe sight-threatening or even life-threatening disease, such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hematological disorders, systemic vasculitis, rheumatological disorders, brain tumors, sarcoidosis, or infectious diseases caused by M. tuberculosis, HIV or herpes viruses. The book is divided into two sections and each chapter is dedicated to one ophthalmic sign providing its pathophysiology, significance, differential diagnosis and clues to systemic disease. Each chapter is profusely illustrated with color and black and white images, and boxes with key messages on differential diagnosis and appropriate laboratory investigations. This book serves as a one-stop resource discussing the significance of individual ophthalmic signs and their context to sensitize the physicians, both the graduates and postgraduates in training, residents and fellows in ophthalmology, family medicine and internal medicine, and practicing physicians.Rote Augen, Grauer Star, Kranke Makula: Augenkrankheiten vorbeugen – Die richtige Therapie

By Peter Navarro. 2022
"In this follow-up to the breakout bestseller In Trump Time, Peter Navarro explains why Trump lost the White House in…
2020 and how he will win it back in 2024 - and none too soon. Steve Bannon, the chief architect of Trump's 2016 win, describes Taking Back Trump's America as "a brass-knuckled insider's account of the merciless 2020 fall and miraculous 2024 rise of the White House of Trump." In Peter Navarro's telling-he was in all of the rooms where it happened-Trump's fall may be laid squarely at the feet of a coterie of incompetent and disloyal "bad personnel" inside the White House. They continually sought to undermine the commander in chief they putatively served and included everyone from Attorney General Bill Barr, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, and National Economic Council Directors Gary Cohn and Larry Kudlow, to National Security Advisors H.R. McMaster and John "Dr. Strangelove" Bolton, Jared "Rasputin" Kushner, the Four-Star Traitors in Generals John Kelly and Jim Mattis, and four of the worst chiefs of staff in White House history. This confederacy of predatory globalists, Never-Trump Republicans, wild-eyed Freedom Caucus nut jobs, and self-absorbed Wall Street transactionalists would constantly delay, disrupt, and deter a set of populist, economic, nationalist, and "tough on China" actions and policies that would have otherwise carried Donald Trump to a landslide victory." -- Provided by publisherGo-to dinners: a Barefoot Contessa cookbook (Barefoot Contessa cookbook)
