✏Age Related Macular Degeneration Book Summary : Retinal disease in general, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) specifically, is of major interest worldwide due to the increasing aging population and the revolution in management of wet AMD over the past several years. Age-Related Macular Degeneration presents an up-to-date, clinically relevant monograph on the current diagnosis and management of AMD. Age-Related Macular Degeneration by Drs. Jay S. Duker and Andre J. Witkin serves as a reference for ophthalmologists treating AMD in the clinic as well as other eye care professionals who see and counsel patients with AMD. Chapters will focus on the pathogenesis and risk factors for AMD, the diagnosis of AMD, treatment options, and promising investigative interventions. To help readers gain familiarity recognizing AMD, the book contains multiple images in different formats: high quality color fundus photographs, black-and-white angiograms, black-and-white autofluorence images, and both color and black-and-white OCT images. Relevant to current management of AMD, Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Current Management concentrates on "clinical utility" rather than emphasizing published studies, filling the current void in the market for the general ophthalmology and optometry audience. Comprehensive ophthalmologists, optometrists and retinal specialists will appreciate the book's practical approach to AMD.

✏Non age Related Macular Degeneration Book Summary : Macular degeneration is diagnosed as either dry (non-neovascular) or wet (neovascular). Neovascular refers to growth of new blood vessels in an area, such as the macula, where they are not supposed to be. The dry form is more common than the wet, with about 85%-90% patients diagnosed. The wet form of the disease usually leads to more serious vision loss. Different forms of macular degeneration may occur in younger patients. These non-age related cases may be linked to heredity, diabetes, nutritional deficits, head injury, infection, or other factors. This new book presents the latest research from around the world.

✏Age Related Macular Degeneration Book Summary : Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in individuals older than 65 years of age. The authors of this book discuss the role of genetics, sunlight, diet, cardiovascular factors, smoking and alcohol as possible risk factors for AMD. Furthermore, the dry form is more common and accounts for about 85-90% of AMD patients in the USA, while Japanese AMD patients predominantely progress to wet-form or polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). The function of a serine protein gene, HTRA1, in wet-form AMD patients is explored in detail. Conversely, the final chapter evaluates the therapeutic effects of high omega-3 fatty acids as anti-inflammatory agents in dry AMD patients. The preliminary findings indicate a promising therapeutic regime for dry AMD and perhaps for other retinopathies as well.

✏Risk Prediction for Age related Macular Degeneration Using Genetic and Environmental Factors Book Summary : Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among adults over the age of 50 in the United States, profoundly impacting quality of life and health care expenditures in this country. The multifactorial etiology of AMD makes it difficult to predict which patients will develop AMD, and among these, which are at risk of progressing to the more severe forms of the disease. The purpose of this project was to determine the individual and composite effects of four genetic variants, cigarette smoking, and body mass index on the development of AMD, including the early form of AMD, which is characterized by the presence of confluent drusen in the retina, as well as the advanced forms of AMD, which include geographic atrophy and choroidal neovascularization. Clinical and genotype data were acquired from a database containing de-identified patient information aggregated from multiple study sites.

✏Projected Prevalence of Age related Macular Degeneration in Scandinavia 2012 2040 Book Summary : Abstract. Purpose: To project the number of persons with late age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) in Scandinavia through 2040. Methods: Age‐ and sex‐specific prevalence rates of late AMD (choroidal neovascularization and geographic atrophy) from the European Eye Study and the Eye Diseases Prevalence Research Group were applied to the projected Danish, Norwegian and Swedish population from 2012 to 2040. Results: A total of 187 000 persons aged ≥65 years in Scandinavia are currently affected by late AMD: 47 000 in Denmark, 43 000 in Norway and 97 000 in Sweden. Owing to an ageing population, the number of persons affected by late AMD will increase 75% to 328 000 in 2040. Conclusion: The number of patients with late AMD in Scandinavia is expected to increase substantially over the next three decades, resulting in increased demand for ophthalmic health services.

✏New Neovascular Age related Macular Degeneration is Associated with Systemic Leucocyte Activity Book Summary : Abstract: Purpose: To investigate systemic leucocyte activity in subtypes of age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) and onset of neovascular AMD. Methods: Patients with early and late AMD and age‐matched control individuals were recruited consecutively, and venous blood was sampled for differential leucocyte counts. Patients with neovascular AMD were grouped based on time of blood sampling in relation to diagnosis of neovascular AMD: diagnosis of new neovascular AMD more than 30days before blood sampling, within 30days of blood sampling and more than 30days after blood sampling. Results: Of 347 recruited participants, 330 fulfilled the eligibility criteria (77 age‐matched controls, 33 with early AMD, 56 with geographic atrophy and 164 with neovascular AMD). We did not find any differences in the differential counts between patients at different stages of AMD and age‐matched control individuals. However, lymphocyte and monocytes–basophils–eosinophils mixed (MXD) counts were both significantly increased in patients with new neovascular AMD. Among these patients; higher MXD correlated with lower BCVA, larger central foveal thickness and larger total lesion size; higher lymphocytes correlated with smaller total lesion size; higher neutrophils correlated with CNV lesion size; and higher neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio correlated with larger lesion size. Conclusions: Systemic leucocyte activity is associated with onset of CNV in patients with AMD and correlate with lesion size and BCVA, which suggest that acute systemic immune activity may play a role in neovascular flaring of AMD.

✏Age Related Macular Degeneration Book Summary : Age-related macular degeneration is a disease that causes blurring of your central vision. The blurring happens because of damage to the macula, a small area at the back of the eye. The macula helps you see the fine detail in things that your eye focusing on. There are two types of macular degeneration: Wet and Dry. The dry form is by far the most common type. The wet form is less common, but it happens more quickly and is more severe. The dry form accounts for about 9 out of 10 cases of macular degeneration. It develops slowly and causes central vision to become dimmer or more blurry over time. It usually does not cause severe vision loss unless it turns into the wet form. The wet form accounts for only about 1 out of 10 cases of macular degeneration. It can cause serious vision loss within months or even weeks. People who have the wet form have the dry form first.
