    Summary: Part of the Essentials in Ophthalmology series, this atlas is designed to comprehensively cover optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment of the eye. The aim is to improve knowledge of the fundamentals of OCT technology for anterior segment, clarify the differences with posterior segment OCT and emphasize the immense relevance and usefulness that anterior segment OCT study has for diagnosis, therapeutic orientation, surgical guidance, and improvement in patient management. Atlas of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography is organized into comprehensive chapters on the following topics: fundamentals, technologies and technological differences among platforms, application of OCT, corneal OCT angiography, as well as case-based chapters. Numerous highly-detailed figures, illustrations and photographs make this an ideal resource for the corneal specialist seeking further instruction on this cutting-edge technology. The case-based chapters include such conditions as bowman dystrophies, trauma, cataract, glaucoma, sclera, refractive surgery, ocular infections, and are structured to facilitate the consultant surgeon by providing practical information applicable to practical cases in their practice.

    A growth promoting factor is contained in the petroleum ether or acetone extracted residue of lyophilized dry egg yolk. Egg white, horse serum, soybean powder, bovine serum albumin, egg albumin and milk were used in M. lepraemurium culture attempts as protein sources instead of yolk lipoprotein. None of these substances promoted the growth of M. lepraemurium. One percent egg white medium was prepared from the mixture of one part 1% Ogawa basal medium to two parts egg white, adjusted to pH 6.1. This medium does not permit the growth of M. lepraemurium but permits bacillary survival for two months. This medium is most suitable as a minimal medium to investigate growth factors of M. lepraemurium. Utilizing the minimal medium, the following substances were tested for growth promoting activity: lecithin, cholesterol, petroleum ether extracted fraction of yolk, butanol extracted fraction of yolk, retinol, hemin, yeast extract, broth, farnesol and dolichol fraction of chicken liver. None of these supported growth of M. lepraemurium. The following neutralizing agents of free radicals were tried in the minimal medium: triethylenediamine, beta-carotin, potassium iodide, potassium bromide, 2-aminoethylisothio-uranium-bromide, 2-aminoethyl-isothio-uranium-bromide-hydrobromide and cysteamine. None of these supported growth of M. lepraemurium.
