Visual Dysfunction in Diabetes - The Science of Patient Impairment and Health Care (Hardcover, 2012): Joyce Tombran-Tink, Colin... Visual Dysfunction in Diabetes - The Science of Patient Impairment and Health Care (Hardcover, 2012)
Joyce Tombran-Tink, Colin J. Barnstable, Thomas W. Gardner
R4,444 Discovery Miles 44 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

An exciting contribution to the field, Visual Dysfunction in Diabetes: The Science of Patient Impairment and Improvement is designed with two overriding objectives: to help readers understand the impact of vision impairment in people living daily with diabetes rather than considering diabetic retinopathy solely as a medical problem, and to explore what we know and don't know about the ways diabetes affect the eye. With the plethora of new information being generated, there are still a series of fundamental questions that must be addressed if effective treatments for diabetic retinopathy are to be found and applied. Developed by a renowned group of authorities, Visual Dysfunction in Diabetes: The Science of Patient Impairment and Improvement offers responses and context for a range of questions, such as: do metabolic factors beyond glucose contribute to vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy? If so, how do these lead to vision impairment? Is diabetic retinopathy a response to systemic metabolic abnormalities or are there unique ocular problems related to insulin resistance? What is the relationship between the neural, vascular, and inflammatory abnormalities in diabetic retinopathy? Do they represent a pathological cascade induced sequentially or simultaneous responses to one or more metabolic perturbations? The authors note that if we do not address these types of questions, it is possible that the long process of developing new therapeutic s will target only one arm of the pathology and leave the retina open to damaging consequences of the others. State-of-the-art, comprehensive, and an invaluable addition the research and clinical literature, Visual Dysfunction in Diabetes: The Science of Patient Impairment and Improvement offers guidance and a significant step toward new scientific approaches that can lessen the devastating vision impairment associated with diabetes.

Ocular Transporters in Ophthalmic Diseases and Drug Delivery (Hardcover, 2008 ed.): Joyce Tombran-Tink, Colin J. Barnstable Ocular Transporters in Ophthalmic Diseases and Drug Delivery (Hardcover, 2008 ed.)

R5,686 Discovery Miles 56 860 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In this exceptionally important new work, a panel of distinguished authors discusses all the latest developments in the study of ocular transporters. Focusing on the molecular characteristics, localization, and substrate specificities in various compartments of the eye, this volume discusses how transporters regulate the clarity of the cornea and lens, the movements of fluids across the ciliary epithelium and nutrients across the retinal pigment epithelium.
