Inikah yang namanya mati? Pikiran itu terlintas di benak Clara. Jantungnya terasa mulai berdegup kencang. Tapi, kok gak ada terowongan berujung cahaya … gak ada pemutaran balik film semasa hidup …. Clara mengerang. Ia merasakan bagian dadanya seperti ditekan oleh sesuatu yang berat. Ia merasa sakit, dan juga sesak. Ia sedikit heran karena masih bisa merasakan rasa sakit. Rasa sakit di dada menyerang bersamaan dengan rasa sakit di kepala. Kedua kombinasi itu tidak tertahankan, hingga membuatnya merasa pusing, diikuti rasa mual yang hebat. Deg! Clara jatuh! Ia merasa dirinya jatuh dari ketinggian yang sangat tinggi. Dadanya tertekan, ia merasa sesak, dan sulit bernapas. Deg! Tubuh Clara be...

This Clinics issue includes chapters on adult brachial plexus injuries, imaging of the brachial plexus, operating techniques, nerve grafting and transfers and rehabilitation for patients
Microsurgical techniques are widely used in the field of orthopaedics. This book addresses all aspects of orthopaedic microsurgery, from development of the principles to their applications. Replantation of fingers, hands and extremity parts are well summarized by highly experienced microsurgical surgeons. The methods for tissue transplantation and microsurgical reconstruction of tissue defects, which have been proved to be successful tools for saving severely injured extremities, were developed by experienced orthopaedic surgeons in cooperation with plastic surgeons. Injuries to peripheral nerves and the brachial plexus are also discussed extensively in this monograph. All illustrations and tables were meticulously selected and are easy to understand. The book was written for all microsurgeons who work in the fields of orthopaedics, plastic and hand surgery. Guoxian Pei is a professor at the Department of Orthopaedics, Xijing Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University, Xi An, China.
Sub-specialization within pediatric orthopedics is growing, in part due to the development of free-standing children's hospitals and the desire by patients and their parents to have "experts" care for them. We are at the forefront of a trend in physicians classifying themselves as pediatric upper extremity surgeons. Numerous pediatric hospitals now have or are recruiting physicians to focus their practice in this area. Historically, these issues were treated by general orthopedic surgeons, adult hand surgeons, pediatric orthopedic surgeons, or plastic surgeons. However, none of these professionals treat the entirety of pediatric upper extremity pathology, and no single reference has focused on the treatment of the pediatric upper extremity as a whole. For example, fractures have typically been written about in pediatric textbooks, while tendon and nerve injuries are covered in adult hand textbooks. This textbook is a comprehensive, illustrated reference that discusses all aspects of the pediatric upper extremity, from embryology and functional development to nerve injuries, trauma, tumors, burns, sports injuries and more.

Eyang putri menarik tangan Mansa, memberikan isyarat agar Mansa mendekat kepadanya. Bibirnya bergerak-gerak perlahan, mengucapkan kata-kata tanpa suara. Mansa mendekatkan telinganya ke eyang putri. Suara yang lemah terdengar samar di telinga Mansa. Erlan memperhatikan respons setiap orang di dalam ruangan. Mereka tampak ingin mendekat maju, ingin mendengar apa yang disampaikan oleh eyang putri. Beberapa saat kemudian, raut wajah Mansa berubah menjadi bingung, begitu pun raut wajah semua orang di sana, menerka-nerka apa yang sudah dikatakan oleh eyang putri. “Eyang bilang apa?” tanya Raka tidak bisa menahan rasa penasarannya. “Gue gak ngerti, Mas. Eyang cuma bilang, ‘sekarang boleh di...
At the age of 48, Moritz Thomsen sold his pig farm and joined the Peace Corps. As he tells the story, his awareness of the comic elements in the human situation--including his own--and his ability to convey it in fast-moving, earthy prose have madeLiving Poora classic. "Hilariously funny at times, grimly sad at others and elavened with perceptive insights into the ways of the people and with breathtaking descriptions of the Ecuadorian landscape."-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
This volume is a monograph about brachial plexus palsy. Severe brachial plexus injuries are often caused by traffic accidents, especially motorcycle accidents. The intercostal nerve transfer to the musculocutaneous nerve is a standard treatment of choice in Japan to reconstruct elbow flexion for brachial plexus palsy with root avulsion. The functional conversion of the nerve transfer is described in detail, using electrophysiological and histochemical studies. This book focuses on birth-related brachial plexus palsy as well as the treatment of brachial plexus injuries in adults.
