Glaucoma: A Pancitopatia of the Retina and Beyond, Volume 257, the
latest release in the Progress in Brain Research series, highlights
new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting
interesting chapters written by an international board of authors.
Chapters in this volume include the Genetics of glaucoma,
Artificial intelligence and deep learning in glaucoma detection and
monitoring, The role of commensal microflora-induced T cells
responses in glaucoma neurodegeneration, Retinal cell death in
experimental glaucoma, Experimental and clinical evidence on the
neuroprotective properties of Citicoline in glaucoma, Glaucoma
neurodegeneration and myopia, Neuronal regeneration with
pluripotent stem cells in glaucoma, and more.
New Trends in Basic and Clinical Research of Glaucoma: A
Neurodegenerative Disease of the Visual System is the latest volume
from Progress in Brain Research focusing on new trends in basic and
clinical research of glaucoma. This established international
series examines major areas of basic and clinical research within
neuroscience, as well as emerging subfields.
New Trends in Basic and Clinical Research of Glaucoma: A
Neurodegenerative Disease of the Visual System - Part B is the
latest volume from Progress in Brain Research focusing on new
trends in basic and clinical research of glaucoma. This established
international series examines major areas of basic and clinical
research within neuroscience, as well as emerging subfields.
Glaucoma is one of the main causes of blindness throughout the
world. It is characterized by death of the retinal ganglion cells,
which is associated with loss of the axons making up the optic
nerve. Recent studies have demonstrated support for the
classification of glaucoma as a degenerative disease of the central
nervous system (CNS). The search for treatment modalities that are
effective for all patients with glaucoma has resulted in numerous
studies aimed at identifying neuroprotection strategies for the
treatment of this disease, like those used for other degenerative
diseases of the CNS.
The present book will provide an in-depth examination of the most
recent findings regarding glaucoma, including risk factors,
diagnosis, clinical monitoring, treatment, and above all, the need
for treatment based on the concept of neuroprotection. A large part
of the book is devoted to research related to this new approach to
the treatment of glaucoma. Aspects that will be analyzed include
experimental models of glaucoma, clinical protocols for the study
of neuroprotective therapies, mechanisms underlying glaucomatous
damage to neurons of the retina and other "stations" in the visual
pathways of the CNS, and finally proposals for new strategies for
preventing neuronal injury in glaucoma patients.
* Describes the most recent developments on neuroprotection of the
optic nerve, including experimental models now used and clinical
protocols
* Discusses new strategies for the prevention of neuronal injury in
glaucoma patients
* Focuses on evidence-based risk factors, innovative diagnostic
aspects and advanced medical/surgical treatment of glaucoma
