Photography and electronic media are indispensable tools for dental education and clinical practice. Although previous research has focused on privacy issues and general strategies to protect patient privacy when sharing clinical photographs for educational purposes, there are no published recommendations for developing a functional, privacy-compliant institutional framework for the capture, st...

In this book, we use the term domestic photography to describe the photographic activities of ordinary people taking and using images for non-professional purposes. Also, in our use of the term we focus on the kind of use in which photography is not a hobby as such but embedded in other activities. The word ‘domestic’ implies that the activities take place mainly in homes, and the home is the h...

between the progression of the disease and SACE activity. Conversely, we recently observed three cases of rapidly progressive pneumoconiosis (CWP, 1 case; silicosis, 2 cases) characterized by very high SACE activity (>mean + 4 units of standard deviation), associated with an increased alveolar lymphocytosis. Evidence of elevated SACE levels in non pneumoconiotic coal miners lead us to suggest t...

While dermoscopy has become standard procedure in the diagnosis and management of patients with skin lesions, clinical and dermoscopic photographic documentation of lesions scheduled for biopsy are only infrequently performed in everyday practice [1-7]. Herein we present a case of a young woman who developed a re-pigmentation within the scar of an excised primary melanoma and highlight the impo...

Clinical photography in the field of oculoplastic surgery has many applications. It is possible for clinicians to obtain standardized clinical photographs without a studio. A clinician photographer has the advantage of knowing exactly what to photograph as well as having immediate access to the images. In order to maintain standardization in the photographs, the photographic settings should rem...

Infrared imaging dramatically increased the number of crystalline deposits visualized compared with clinical examination, standard color fundus photography, and red free imaging in patients with Bietti's crystalline dystrophy. We believe that this imaging modality significantly improves the sensitivity with which these lesions are detected, facilitating earlier diagnosis and may potentially ser...

A case of choroidal neurilemmoma is reported. After a period of clinical observation which included serial fundus photography and fluorescein angiography, during which time active growth was seen, the tumour was thought to be a malignant melanoma, and enucleation was considered the treatment of choice. Subsequent histological study revealed a neurilemmoma. Important points relating to the clini...
