Ocular Syndromes and Systemic Diseases
Release Date: November 15th 2008
Price: $62.95
This book has three main purposes: (1) to aid the busy eye doctor in identifying all ocular manifestations of a given syndrome, disease, or inherited disorder; (2) to provide references so that the eye doctor will know where to look for additional information; and (3) to promote greater observation of the characteristics of ocular syndromes, systemic diseases, and inherited disorders. This book is designed for quick reference while the patient's eyes are being dilated or immediately following an examination. Practicality is the objective; conciseness, logical arrangement, and authenticity are the main features. Dr. Roy has endeavored to include all systemic syndromes, diseases, and inherited disorders that have ocular manifestations. The titles are arranged alphabetically and are numbered. Other names of the same disorder are also given. A general definition, clinical ocular findings, clinical systemic findings, and several references are included for each entry. Each entry is dealt with as completely as space and practicality allow. Laboratory findings have not been considered; the book is designed to serve as the physician's primary source of information for ocular diseases.
The Ocular Differential Diagnosis book provides comprehensive lists of causes for symptoms or findings. Frequently more information is needed, and it is hoped that, Ocular Syndromes and Systemic Diseases will furnish the physician with additional information to make a better diagnosis. You can order "Ocular Syndromes and Systemic Diseases" from our bookshelf.
Journal of Academic Ophthalmology
Subscription Information
FEP is excited to announce the Journal of Academic Ophthalmology (JAO) . It is our goal to provide the latest research papers from up-and-coming experts in the field of academic ophthalmology.
The JAO is a peer-reviewed journal that serves as a national and international forum for the publication and scholarly exchange of educational ideas, innovation, and information of interest to academic ophthalmology. In addition to our core mission of medical education in medical student, resident and fellow training we encourage research in health education, policy, and regulation. We also hope to provide networking and mentoring opportunities for “like-minded” individuals with an interest in education as well as to be a clearinghouse for announcements of important educational events, meetings, and activities. The Journal is interested in publishing original education research, literature reviews, and (by invitation or solicitation) editorial, historical, or policy perspectives. We have assembled an outstanding editorial board to assist us in moving the Journal forward and we invite readers to contact any of us with their comments, ideas, and innovations. The JAO welcomes original articles but also letters, announcements, or ideas for editorials, perspectives, commentaries. In this issue we are pleased to showcase a number of original articles but also some perspective and opinion pieces from some of the recognized “thought leaders” in ophthalmic education. As the ACGME competency mandate and the Outcomes Project move into a more rigorous assessment phase we hope that the JAO will be able to assist program directors and ophthalmic educators by providing a resource for “best practices”; being a clearinghouse for “proven techniques”; being a virtual laboratory for testing new tools and innovations; and being the peer and learner recognized best source for information about academic and educational issues in ophthalmology. We encourage you to join us in celebrating this new venture by submitting your work to the JAO.
