简介：This is an excellent text of dermatopathology. The illustrations alone are immensely valuable and are about the best available. I have found this book useful, but usually have used it in conjunction with Weedon's Skin Pathology, 2nd edition (Elsevier, 2002). This new edition is completely justified as it has added new entities, new sections, and has reorganized the existing sections. CDs are also included with each volume. This book is written for the practitioners of dermatopathology, gene更多>>

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 In this collection of 22 papers, contributors describe their work in angiogenic diseases, endogenous promoters and inhibitors of angiogenesis, and promising therapeutics and delivery for angiogenic eye diseases. Diseases and conditions covered include endogenous angiogenic inhibitors in diabetic retinopathy, corneal angiogenesis, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, myopic choroidal neovascularization, Eale's Disease, ocular tumorigenesis and the genetics of ocular vascular disease. Topics on endogenous promoters and inhibitors include considerations of growth factors in retinal diseases and the role of fibroblast growth factors, control and cell survival in the eye by PEDF, integrins and inhibition by matrix proteases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases. Therapeutics and deliver include anti-VEGF therapies, anecortave acetate, gene therapy for retinopathies, noninvasive DNA delivery into the eye and novel drug delivery systems. Annotation 漏2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 Leading academic and pharmaceutical researchers and clinicians from many disciplines synthesize and summarize current clinical and basic knowledge concerning abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye, the cause of major neovascular eye diseases. The authors also identify and assess the most promising approaches with potential for commercial exploitation and discuss the challenges encountered in developing therapeutics for ocular neovascular diseases. Highlights include illuminating chapters on gene therapy and novel drug delivery systems and excellent summaries of the newest therapeutic approaches.
