Electrodiagnosis of Retinal Disease by Yozo Miyake Pdf

Soon it will be time for me to retire from my position as professor of o- thalmology in the Department of Ophthalmology, Nagoya University School of Medicine. I have therefore decided to summarize my expe- ence of more than 30 years of studies on the clinical electrophysiology of vision. These studies were performed in our department through the hard work and good ideas of many co-workers,and the chapters of this book cover the rationale and results of our studies. Because excellent textbooks on clinical electroretinography already exist, my wish is not to write another textbook; instead,this book is in the form of essays that include my beliefs and philosophy on the clinical electrophysiology of vision. As such,this book does not include every clinical disease but only those that we have identi?ed or studied in detail. In addition to full-?eld electroretinography (ERG),we developed the techniques and instrumentation to record focal macular ERG more than two decades ago. Using these techniques, we were able to determine several new physiological properties of the normal macula, many new pathophysiological mechanisms of known diseases,and some new cli- cal entities with unique functional properties. Fortunately,the recent advances of macular surgery and imaging are such that the macular con?guration can easily be determined. During the process of surgery,we have obtained considerable information on the c- relation of macular function and macular morphology using focal macular ERGs and optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Visual Electrodiagnosis ... by Medicare Services Advisory Committee, MSAC Pdf

Visual electrodiagnosis (VED) is used to study a variety of eye diseases. Five VED tests to be used for the diagnosis of retinal disease, optic nerve damage and visual field defects were the focus of this evaluation: focal electroretinography, multifocal electroretinography, multifocal visual evoked potential, scotopic threshold response and intensity response function. As VED is non-invasive, risks to patients are expected to be minunal. Two factors were considered in determining the effectiveness of the visual electrodiagnostic tests: accuracy and usefulness in improving outcomes for patients. Accuracy is measured by diagnostic characteristics such as sensitivity and specificity. Since there is insuffident evidence of the accuracy of the tests and their usefulness in improving patient outcomes, an economic evaluation could not be undertaken. On the strength of evidence pertaining to visual electrodiagnostic tests, MSAC recommends that: 1. public funding be supported for the following well-established tests recognised by the International Society of Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision - electroretinography; pattern electroretinography; dark adaptometry; electrooculography; visual evoked responses; and 2. due to insufficient evidence, public funding should not be supported at this time for the following tests - focal electroretinography; multifocal electroretinography; multifocal visual evoked potential; scotopic threshold response; intensity response function.

Visual Electrodiagnosis in Systemic Diseases by E. Schmöger,J. Kelsey Pdf

The research workers at the Eye Clinic of the Medical Academy of Erfurt are proud of having been entrusted, for the second time, with the organization of the yearly ISCEV symposium. Twelve years ago the 6th Symposium was held in Erfurt. This time we turned to Reinhardsbrunn, an old castle situated in the vicinity of Erfurt on the fringes of the wonderful mountainscape of the Thuringian Forest. Reinhardsbrunn castle serves today as a holiday hotel and convention place. It seemed to us to be the right place for carrying on the discussions in a comfortable and informal way after the actual sessions were over. Comparing the scientific reports read at the 6th and 17th Symposium, both organized in Erfurt, one readily becomes aware of the impressive advances in our rapidly developing field of interest. The technical and, more specifically, the electronic advancements have been enormous, especially in the field of recording and processing the visually evoked cortical potentials·. Adually, the addition of this special field of study to our realm, led to the renaming of the Society some years ago. Moreover, it became more and more obvious that interdisciplinary cooperation between ophthalmologists, physiologists, physi cists, technologists and mathematicians is essential. This is also reflected in the composition of our membership.

Handbook of Pediatric Retinal Disease by Kenneth W. Wright,Peter H. Spiegel,Lisa Thompson Pdf

Based on Dr. Wright’s classic major reference, Handbook of Pediatric Retinal Disease outlines the latest findings in diagnosing retinal disorders in children's and the best available treatment options. Distilling the essentials of these somewhat uncommon discorders and diseases into a portable, complete and authorative pocket reference, this handbook offers a complete picture of how to best treat pediatric patients. Specifically, the introductory chapters on the specifics of pediatric ophthalmology (embryology, post-natal development and the pediatric exam) will help newcomers to pediatric practice fully grasp the subtle differences in pediatric care. The chapters are written by leading experts in the field and are presented in a user-friendly format, relying on heavily illustrated in color plates, clincally helpful tables, charts, and decision-making guidelines. This approach will enable the practitioner (whether specialist or generalist) to make the most accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective treatment option.
