چکیده
Adolf Friedrich Fercher, an outstanding pioneer of biomedical optics, passed away earlier this year. He was a brilliant and visionary researcher who pioneered various fields of biomedical optics, such as laser speckle flowgraphy, tissue interferometry, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of OCT, this paper reviews and commemorates Fercher's pioneering work.

Performance of fourier domain vs. time domain optical coherence tomography.
In this article we present a detailed discussion of noise sources in Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FDOCT) setups. The performance of FDOCT with charge coupled device (CCD) cameras is compared to current standard time domain OCT systems. We describe how to measure sensitivity in the case of FDOCT and confirm the theoretically obtained values. It is shown that FDOCT systems have a ...

Increased jugular venous pressure with inspiration is commonly referred to as Kussmaul’s sign; and the disappearance of the radial pulse or a drop in systolic blood pressure of 10 mmHg or greater with inspiration is recognized as pulsus paradoxus. Both Kussmaul’s sign and pulsus paradoxus are commonly attributed to the discoveries of Dr. Adolf Kussmaul. Together these two clinical signs are imp...
