Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography: A Clinically-Oriented Atlas introduces a wide range of clinical applications of anterior segment OCT for the diagnosis, follow up, and assessment of medical and surgical treatments and critical interventions. Though there is research on imaging the anterior segment of the eye using OCT, there have not been attempts to compile the implications of these findings into a single source. Rather, this book avoids focusing on generic descriptions of the technology, providing a unique perspective on the clinical aspects of OCT. This atlas will translate research into practice in a way that has never been achieved before.For those wishing to apply the theoretical aspects of OCT to their daily practice, this book provides a unique how-to guide that has thus far been missing from literature. While other books offer significant background on OCT, only this one will serve as a go-to reference for treatment of real patients.

Nongenetic Information and Evolution investigates the origin and nature of nongenetic information and its role in the mechanisms of evolutionary change. The book opens with an introduction to the theoretical background and forms of nongenetic information, alongside its relationship with genetic information. It then explores nongenetic information across the biological kingdoms, including animals, non-neural organisms, plants, and unicellulars. It also covers epigenetics as a form of nongenetic information, exploring DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling and miRNA expression in this context. The book closes with a discussion of nongenetic information in evolution, considering evidence demonstrating its inheritance and hereditary impact.This book provides a detailed overview of the origin and evolutionary impact of nongenetic inheritance, delivering a basis for further understanding the occurrence of hereditary phenomena and transgenerational phenotypic changes that do not involve genes. This is a useful reference for researchers in the field of epigenetics, evolutionary biology, developmental biology, and cellular and molecular biology.
