Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-sectional images of anatomical structures of the eye, such as the retinal layers. OCT Angiography (OCTA) builds on this technology to visualise blood flow within those structures by detecting motion of red blood cells over time. The key difference is that OCT shows the static, structural anatomy of the eye, whereas OCTA reveals the dynamic vascular networks. These techniques are recognised worldwide as essential devices for diagnosis, assessment and follow up of retinal diseases and glaucoma.OCTA, a non-invasive and dye-free imaging modality, is gaining prominence and has begun to replace traditional dye-based angiography in many clinical settings.The fourth edition of this comprehensive manual has been fully revised to provide clinicians and trainees with the most recent advances in OCT and OCTA imaging, emphasising the integration of the two techniques in the diagnosis and evaluation of retinal pathologies, as they become increasingly used in combination.The book supports a wide audience - ophthalmologists, residents, ophthalmic technicians, orthoptists, and optometrists - in understanding and interpreting the complex imaging data produced by OCT and OCTA devices.Authored by renowned experts based in Italy, the book is designed to be both educational and practical, serving as a vital resource in modern ophthalmic imaging.The previous edition (978939028135) published in 2020.

Über Hofmannsthal und sein Nachdenken darüber, was Lesen - und auch Schreiben - von Literatur für die Entwicklung der Persönlichkeit bedeutet.Die Leidenschaft des Lesens stand lange unter Verdacht. Sie schien vom Gebot einer vermeintlich authentischen Lebensführung, von der Möglichkeit eines genuinen Ausdrucks abzulenken. Welcher Wert konnte der Literatur unter solchen Umständen zukommen?Kaum ein anderer Autor hat sich mit dieser Frage so intensiv beschäftigt wie Hofmannsthal. Nimmt er in seinem dichterischen Schaffen die eigenen Lektüren ostentativ auf, so stellt er in seinem essayistischen Werk sehr häufig das Lesen in den Vordergrund. Die Studie verfolgt die Entwicklung seiner Reflexion von der Idee einer kreativen Kunst des Lesens bis hin zur späteren Suche nach einer überindividuellen literarischen Sozialität. Stetig versucht er dabei, eine strikte Trennung zwischen Dichter und Leser in Frage zu stellen, um dem Literarischen eine gemeinsame, fürs menschliche Leben wesentliche Bedeutung zu sichern.
