Reperfusion Therapy for Acute Myocardial Infarction provides a comprehensive review of reperfusion therapy for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Professor Eric R. Bates and his international team of contributors will examine current and future reperfusion therapies for STEMI, in conjunction with the latest clinical trials and guidelines, to bring you the most in-depth and thorough review of management strategies for these patients. This source addresses key developments that will reduce logistical barriers, improve times-to-treatment, and ensure that appropriate medications are administered in patient care.

Ocular Disease-a newly introduced companion volume to the classic Adler's Physiology of the Eye-correlates basic science and clinical management to describe the how and why of eye disease processes and the related best management protocols. Editors Leonard A. Levin and Daniel M. Albert-two of the world's leading ophthalmic clinician-scientists-have recruited as contributors the most expert and experienced authorities available in each of the major areas of ophthalmic disease specific to ophthalmology: retina, cornea, cataract, glaucoma, uveitis, and more. The concise chapter structure features liberal use of color-with 330 full-color line artworks, call-out boxes, summaries, and schematics for easy navigation and understanding. In print and online, this comprehensive resource provides you with a better and more practical understanding of the science behind eye disease and its relation to treatment.

Written by leading researchers practiced in the analysis and management of these conditions, this source is a must-have reference for all ophthalmologists, optometrists, dermatologists, otolaryngologists, and general plastic and reconstructive surgeons caring for patients with eyelid and ocular adnexal disease.

We published the second edition of Ophthalmology in 2004. Now, only 5 years later, we again find that enormous advances have taken place in ophthalmic technology, genetics, and immunology, along with other areas. We continue to recognize the advantage of a complete textbook of ophthalmology in a single volume, rather than a multivolume textbook. Our major effort has been updating and keeping current the third edition. Towards this end we endeavored to delete old out-of-date material as we added new material. One of the easiest parts of a revision is adding new material; the most difficult part, but essential, is to delete the old, so as to keep the book at approximately the same size. Throughout our revision we have successfully maintained this balancing act, culminating in a finished product that is essentially the same size as the prior edition.

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and remains a major cause of new-onset visual loss in the United States and other industrialized nations. In addition to the morbidity and suffering caused by visual loss, the economic impact from diabetic retinopathy is tremendous. Despite significant advances in scientific understanding of diabetic retinopathy, the major treatments for this condition have largely remained the same for many years. Indeed, laser photocoagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy emerged in the late 1960‘s, and the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) guidelines for laser treatment of macular edema were formulated around the mid-1980's. Guidelines for vitrectomy for vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment were also formulated in the 1980's.

Я утверждаю: медицина – наука, познающая состояние тела человека, поскольку оно здорово или утратит здоровье, для того, чтобы сохранить здоровье и вернуть его, если оно утрачено.

Кто нибудь, однако, может сказать: «Медицина разделяется на теорию и практику, а вы, говоря, что это наука, превратили всю медицину в теорию».

На это мы отвечаем: говорится, что есть искусства теоретические и искусства практические, философия теоретическая и философия практическая; говорят также, что медицина бывает теоретическая и практическая, при этом в каждой части под словом «теоретическая» и «практическая» подразумеваются разные вещи, но нам сейчас нет нужды говорить о различиях, которые имеются в данном случае в виду где либо, кроме медицины.
