Titre(s) : Vitreous [Texte électronique] : in health and disease / J. Sebag, editor
Publication : New York : Springer, [2014]
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
The vitreous body long has been the most mysterious of all ocular structures, owing
perhaps to its seeming simplicity. There have been few concerted, sustained efforts
to unravel the mysteries of how vitreous is composed and what role it plays in normal
physiology as well as pathology. Over the years, however, many studies have produced
important findings concerning vitreous biochemistry, structure, physiology, and pathobiology.
Published on the 25th anniversary of Sebag's first book on Vitreous, this second installment
is nearly five times longer than its predecessor, reflecting how much has been learned
in the past quarter century. This well-constructed compendium not only addresses the
most current scientific knowledge, but also reviews clinical perspec?tives in a manner
that lends richness to the scope of the book. Written by 90 authors, this book has
56 chapters organized into 7 sections: Biochemistry; Anatomy, Development, and Aging;
Pathology/Pathobiology; Physiology and Phamacotherapy; Posterior Vitreo-Retinal Surgery;
Peripheral Vitreo-Retinal Surgery; and Pharmacologic Vitreolysis. With a foreword
by Coleman & Lincoff and an introduction by Wallace Foulds, Sebag's latest tome on
vitreous is destined to be the authoritative text for years to come
