The book presents the most  up-to-date scientific concepts concerning the etiology and  pathogenesis of blood retinal barrier breakdown such as tight junction  associated protein dysfunction, and changes in fluid transport  properties of the retinal pigment epithelium. The bulk of the book is  clinically oriented and addresses novel imaging and diagnostic  techniques for the detection of macular edema as well as the clinical  context of a panoply of ocular diseases which induce macular edema,  such as diabetes, other vasculopathies, uveitis, and many others. New  light is shed on the association between highly active antiretroviral  therapy and the induction of macular edema in HIV-positive patients.  Novel drug treatment regimens with steroids and carbonic anhydrase  inhibitors as well as new ways of applying laser and surgical  therapies are also discussed in detail, and practical treatment  guidelines are given. This book will be helpful for vitreoretinal  specialists as well as for the practising ophthalmologist confronted  with patients suffering from macular edema.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792364412\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4152-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 270\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541706109068,"sku":"9780792364412","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792364412.jpg?v=1770815325","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792364412","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
