Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The History of Glaucoma: Part II - The Ophthalmoscope Redefines Angle-Closure Glaucoma (1850- )The invention of the ophthalmoscope in 1850 transformed our conception of glaucoma forever. For the first time, physicians could directly observe the living optic nerve, leading to a revolution in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of one of the world's leading causes of blindness.This volume chronicles the remarkable advances that followed Hermann Helmholtz's invention of the ophthalmoscope, including the recognition of glaucoma as a pressure-induced optic neuropathy, the discovery of aqueous humor dynamics, the emergence of angle-closure glaucoma as a distinct disease, the history of malignant glaucoma, and the rise and eventual abandonment of sympathectomy for glaucoma.Drawing upon original publications, rare historical illustrations, and modern historical scholarship, this richly illustrated volume follows the scientific discoveries, technological innovations, and clinical insights that reshaped glaucoma during the second half of the nineteenth century and beyond.Written for ophthalmologists, historians of medicine, and anyone interested in the history of science, this volume reveals how one instrument changed not only ophthalmology, but our understanding of glaucoma itself.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The History of Glaucoma: Part III - The Era of Open-Angle Glaucoma (1900s- )The twentieth century saw the identification and understanding of open angle glaucoma, a disease which could be detected, monitored, and treated before irreversible vision loss occurred. New technologies allowed ophthalmologists to measure intraocular pressure with increasing precision, map subtle visual field defects, analyze the optic nerve, and ultimately visualize retinal nerve fiber damage with unprecedented detail.This volume traces the remarkable evolution of modern glaucoma care, from the development of tonometry and perimetry to the recognition of primary open-angle glaucoma as the world's leading cause of irreversible blindness. It chronicles the history of glaucoma medications, microsurgical techniques, filtration surgery, laser treatment, optic disc analysis, and optical coherence tomography-innovations that have fundamentally reshaped both diagnosis and patient care.Drawing upon original scientific publications, rare historical illustrations, and authoritative scholarship from internationally recognized experts, this richly illustrated volume reveals how successive generations of physicians, scientists, and engineers transformed glaucoma from a largely untreatable blinding disorder into one of medicine's most closely monitored chronic diseases.An essential resource for ophthalmologists, historians of medicine, glaucoma specialists, and anyone interested in the evolution of modern ophthalmology, The History of Glaucoma: Part III tells the story of the technological revolution that continues to define glaucoma care today. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book uses plasticity as a metaphor for understanding how the past endures and evolves within the landscape, and the ways in which remembering shapes the sites we occupy and use. The plastic site is characterised both by its resilience, its form never entirely altered from an earlier mould, and by its malleability, which ensures that whatever persists is inevitably transformed. Embodied in its present configuration are the many moments that have produced it over time, and these are continually supplemented and modified. Surveying examples from Paris, Algiers and Marseille, and media as diverse as literature, film, photography, blogs and video games, Plastic Pasts interrogates how different communities and cultural producers have grappled with the present past in space as an enduring and dynamic memory. It argues that understanding sited memory as plastic entails recognising a multiplicity of immutable pasts that exist in a permanent state of ongoing evolution.…
