This book has become an iconic textbook in eye care over many years and multiple editions having originally published in 1986. Considered one of the classic, definitive books for comprehensive anterior segment diagnosis, treatment, and management, this new edition includes a new chapter on pre- and postop management of cataract and refractive surgery and primary care of Glaucoma, which is a major part of primary care optometry today, along with updates on proprietary therapeutic drugs, and technology additions such as amniotic membranes, injectables, and minor in-office procedures. It contains high-quality photos, 6 clinical DX and RX appendices, an index of more than 1800 items, and 74 tables, making this an accessible resource for clinical practitioners. Key Features: * With a combined 130 years of clinical experience and expertise, the optometric authors provide succinct information necessary for diagnosing, treating, and managing all anterior segment, primary glaucoma, and non-surgical ocular conditions. * Includes current and new ocular, and systemic drugs along with pre & postoperative cataract and refractive surgery management protocols useful for clinicians to assist with diagnosis and treatment. * Features a unique presentation format as all the clinical (DX & RX) information is organized in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) format for quick referencing and practical use by the primary eye care practitioners.

The bioscience of immunology has given us a better understanding of human health and disease. Artificial intelligence (AI) has elevated that understanding and its applications in immunology to new levels. Together, AI for immunology is an advancing horizon in health care, disease diagnosis, and prevention. From the simple cold to the most advanced autoimmune disorders and now pandemics, AI for immunology is unlocking the causes and cures. Key features: A highly accessible and wide-ranging short introduction to AI for immunology Includes a chapter on COVID-19 and pandemics Includes scientific and clinical considerations, as well as immune and autoimmune diseases

Foundational Handbook of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and Bioscience: A User Friendly Guide for IT Professionals, Healthcare Providers, Researchers, and Clinicians uses color-coded illustrations to explain AI from its basics to modern technologies. Other sections cover extensive, current literature research and citations regarding AI's role in the business and clinical aspects of health care. The book provides readers with a unique opportunity to appreciate AI technology in practical terms, understand its applications, and realize its profound influence on the clinical and business aspects of health care. Artificial Intelligence is a disruptive technology that is having a profound and growing influence on the business of health care as well as medical diagnosis, treatment, research and clinical delivery. The AI relationships in health care are complex, but understandable, especially when discussed and developed from their foundational elements through to their practical applications in health care.

The Paradox of the Immune System: Protection, Inflammation, Autoimmune Disease and Beyond provides a provocative approach to immunology as a "double-edged sword." While it is our greatest protector, it is also the cause of chronic inflammation that leads to autoimmune disease, cancer and infectious diseases like COVID-19. Sections cover the basic science of immunology and its intimate genetic associations, biomedical hypotheses asserting immunology as the basis of all human diseases, and elaborate on immunology as "the enemy within us." This engaging, original approach to a science so personal provides new and invaluable understanding on the bioscience that controls our lives.
