The Uveitis Atlas, 1st ed. 2020

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Gupta Vishali, Nguyen Quan Dong, LeHoang Phuc, Agarwal Aniruddha

Couverture de l’ouvrage The Uveitis Atlas
Uveitis comprises a group of intraocular diseases that poses a diagnostic challenge to the ophthalmologists of all subspecialties, including uveitis specialists. The morphological expression of the diseases may be characteristic at times, but it is challenging to detect and recognize subtle clinical clues that might indicate towards a particular etiology: infectious, non-infectious or masquerade. Ancillary investigations including fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, auto fluorescence imaging, ultrasound, ultrasound biomicroscopy, laser flaremeter and optical coherence tomography play a crucial role in reaching a specific diagnosis and require proper interpretation in context of each disease variety. In addition, the radiological imaging, systemic work-up and laboratory investigations aid in establishing the diagnosis. This is a first comprehensive atlas that compiles these varied findings in each type of uveitis. It describes all uveitic entities employing the aid of slit lamp and anterior segment photographs, fundus photographs, ancillary investigations where applicable and relevant laboratory and radiologic investigations. The case-based format sets out the context clearly to match the diagnostic findings with the treatment plan. Covered in 136 chapters and more than 1000 images, this atlas is an essential reference guide for all uveitis specialists and general ophthalmologists. Regular updates on new insights, techniques and treatments meet the point-of-need requirements of the busy readers looking for most current information.

Dr. Vishali Gupta is a Professor of Ophthalmology in the Retina and Uveitis Services of Advanced Eye Center, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, India. She runs a busy uveitis clinic, where nearly 300 uveitis patients are examined per week. Her research interests include addressing the diagnostic challenges involving intraocular tuberculosis, application of molecular biology techniques to diagnose intraocular tuberculosis, describing the phenotypic expression of the disease and the management strategies. Dr. Gupta has over 194 indexed publications and authored more than 76 chapters and 3 books. She is a much sought-after international speaker and delivered several keynote lectures. Dr. Gupta is currently the Vice President of the Uveitis Society of India and the Principal Investigator of the Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study Group (COTS) with over 25 international centers participating in the study.

 Dr. Quan Dong Nguyen, M.D., M.Sc., FAAO Born in Saigon, Vietnam, and immigrated to the United States in 1980, Dr. Quan Dong Nguyen is a Professor of Ophthalmology at the Byers Eye Institute, Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Nguyen received his baccalaureate from the Phillips Exeter Academy and his bachelor and master of science degrees simultaneously in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University. Subsequently, he earned his medical degree at the University of Pennsylvania.

He completed an internship in Internal Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital and a residency in Ophthalmology at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Nguyen also completed fellowships in Immunology and Uveitis at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Ocular Immunology at the Wilmer Eye Institute, and medical and surgical retina at the Schepens Eye Research Institute and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
