Corneal Transplantation
by Jesper HjortdalThis textbook reviews the novel techniques employed in corneal transplantation. It will assist fellows and corneal surgeons in using these techniques to best effect and in selecting patients for surgical procedures, taking into account the benefits and risks. Until 15 years ago the state-of-the art type of corneal transplantation was penetrating keratoplasty. Since the start of this millennium, however, important advances have been made in developing new surgical techniques. Today, the vast majority of keratoplasty procedures are performed as delicate lamellar procedures, either with the assistance of fine microkeratomes or femtosecond lasers or using very advanced surgical dissection procedures. Corneal Transplantation provides detailed information on these and other advances, which have helped patients undergoing keratoplasty to achieve a much faster visual recovery and a more stable eye with less risk of rejection episodes.

Corona und die Pflege: Denkanstöße – die Corona-Krise und danach (Vallendarer Schriften der Pflegewissenschaft #10)
by Hermann Brandenburg Verena BreitbachEs ist wichtig die „Corona-Pandemie“ aus der Perspektive verschiedener Disziplinen zu betrachten. Denn eine „Lösung“ kann letztlich nur gesellschaftlich verantwortet und nicht aus der Logik einer Disziplin, z. B. der Medizin, begründet werden. Was entstanden ist aus den „Corona-Impulsen“ während des ersten Lockdowns in Deutschland im März 2020, hat sich zu einem Zeitzeugnis „nach dem ersten Hype“ entwickelt: Aus multiperspektivischer Sicht (philosophischer, soziologischer, ethnologischer, theologischer und pflegewissenschaftlicher) wird ein Blick auf die Corona-Pandemie und auf ihre langfristigen Folgen und die sich daraus ergebenden Bedarfe geworfen. „Wir haben die Pflegefachkräfte in der Corona-Krise zweimal im Stich gelassen: In der ersten Welle haben sich viele im Dienst am Menschen infiziert, weil Masken, Schutzkleidung und Konzepte fehlten. Viele von ihnen leiden bis heute unter Long Covid, was nicht als Berufskrankheit anerkannt ist. Wenn wir weiter so ignorant mit der größten und wichtigsten Gruppe im Gesundheitswesen umgehen, dürfen wir uns nicht wundern, wenn sie uns jetzt und erst recht in Zukunft überall fehlt. Mit meiner Stiftung Humor Hilft Heilen machen wir seit Jahren Workshops für die Pflege, um die seelische Gesundheit für Pflegekräfte zu stärken. Dieses Buch ist wichtig, weil es auf dieses Dilemma aus verschiedenen Perspektiven hinweist und Lösungen aufzeigt.“ Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen, Gründer der Stiftung Humor Hilft Heilen, die sich seit 2008 für mehr Menschlichkeit in der Medizin einsetzt und „Begegnungen auf Augenhöhe – mit Augenzwinkern“ ermöglicht.

Coronary Imaging and Physiology
by Myeong-Ki HongThis book is intended as a guide for all cardiologists who are interested in coronary imaging and physiology, a sound understanding of which is vital for the optimal performance of appropriate coronary interventions. The basics of each relevant modality are presented, with clear explanation of clinical utility and evaluation of the evidence regarding clinical outcomes. All technical methods are described in detail, and the text is complemented by numerous helpful tables and illustrations. The effectiveness of intravascular coronary imaging in improving clinical outcomes is proven, and it is widely used for this purpose. Two modalities for intravascular coronary imaging are available in clinical practice: intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). For coronary physiology, the pressure wire-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) provides information on the functional status of coronary trees. This technique and its clinical applications receive particular attention in the book, which also looks beyond FFR to FFR-CT, a method using computational fluid dynamics, and to invasive assessment of the microcirculation.
Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction
by Filippo Crea Paolo Camici Gaetano LanzaIn the past two decades a number of studies have shown that abnormalities in the function and structure of coronary microcirculation can be detected in several cardiovascular diseases. On the basis of the clinical setting in which it occurs, coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) can be classified into four types: CMD in the absence of any other cardiac disease; CMD in myocardial diseases; CMD in obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease; and iatrogenic CMD. In some instances CMD represents an epiphenomenon, whereas in others it represents an important marker of risk or may contribute to the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia, thus becoming a possible therapeutic target. This book provides an update on coronary physiology and a systematic assessment of microvascular abnormalities in cardiovascular diseases, in the hope that it will assist clinicians in prevention, detection and management of CMD in their everyday activity.
Coronary Vasculature: Development, Structure-Function, and Adaptations
by Robert J. TomanekIschemic heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. The high metabolism and oxygen demand of the cardiac myocardium depends on both a high blood flow and a rich capillary density. For this reason, the growth of the coronary vasculature is vital, not only in early development, but also in the adult faced with various stresses. Novel technologies have enabled the discovery of the molecular mechanisms underlying the growth and assembly coronary vessels, and this volume covers the hierarchy of the coronary vasculature from its embryonic origins through its postnatal growth, adulthood, and senescence. Chapters address normal coronary development, coronary anomalies and their possible underlying developmental errors, coronary vessel adaptations to exercise training, aging, hypoxia, myocardial ischemia, and cardiac hypertrophy. This comprehensive overview of current research in coronary vessels and myocardial perfusion was written by Dr. Robert J. Tomanek, Emeritus Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Iowa. The book reviews, discusses, and integrates findings from various areas of coronary vasculature research, and as a result, will be a valuable reference source for cardiovascular scientists and physicians for many years to come.
Coronary Vasomotion Abnormalities
by Hiroaki ShimokawaThis book reviews the latest findings on epicardial coronary spasm and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), important diseases for understanding coronary artery vasomotion abnormalities. The book chiefly consists of two major parts, each of which explores the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of the diseases. The chapters present a range of experimental and clinical studies, including the editor’s life’s work on coronary spasm; how Rho-kinase activation plays an important role in connection with the disease; how chronic adventitial inflammation is a central pathophysiology of the spasm; the importance of Rho-kinase activation in the pathogenesis of CMD; how epicardial spasm and CMD frequently co-exist; and much more. Coronary Vasomotion Abnormalities will help practicing cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular biologists and radiologists understand the latest issues concerning the clinical, interventional, and surgical management of these conditions, and offer these readers valuable insights into the effective treatment of microvascular angina.
