Growing with Hong Kong
The book witnesses and chronicles the 90 years wherein the University of Hong Kong and its graduates were intimately engaged in the development of Hong Kong.
Understanding the Pandemic
Understanding the Pandemic: Pathophysiology, Transmission, and Treatment of COVID-19 aims to cover all aspects of COVID-19 infection from the virus, transmission, pathogenesis, immune-inflammation response, systemic injury, organ damage and associated factors comorbidities that drive mortality. Treatment protocols and the vaccination paradigm will also be discussed. Organized into ten sections, the book aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the impact of COVID-19. The book begins a review of coronaviruses, their structure and mechanism of action. The book goes on to discuss the immune response to the virus and its effect on various organs. It examines clinical cases based on an observations and postmortem studies. Other topics include the long-term effects of COVD-19, vaccines, and public health response. • Discusses coronavirus, their similarities and differences in origin and transmission as well as a review of their structure and mechanisms of action• Examines the immune-inflammation responses to COVID-19 and the organ-specific impact of the disease• Covers vaccines and other treatment protocols and public health responses in various geographic locations
Living Donor Liver Transplantation (2nd Edition)
The book describes in detail the technical aspects of Living Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT), the routine practice of the world renowned Liver Transplant Team at Hong Kong's Queen Mary Hospital, and our views on various issues of the operation. The thorough review on the history and technical procedures of LDLT and discussion on various aspects of the operation and its future perspectives will serve as a unique reference for surgeons, researchers, nurses, medical students, patients and laypersons seeking information on LDLT.This latest edition offers updated operative results from our center and the latest modifications of the technique. With contributions from a leading microvascular surgeon, a critical care clinician, a psychiatrist, and two anesthetists from the same liver transplant team, the LDLT experience at Queen Mary Hospital is depicted in an even greater extent.
Hepatitis B and D Protocols
Despite the availability of an effective vaccine, there are still 400 million people, worldwide who are chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). For them, the vaccine, as currently applied, has no value. Given the possible consequences of HBV infection, the number of those chronically infected with HBV presents an enormous public health challenge. For example, the major etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is chronic infection with HBV. Although fifth in cancer incidence, worldwide, HCC/liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death. The high mortality as- ciated with HCC arises because the disease is often detected late and is unresponsive to treatment. The number o...
Hepatitis C Virus Disease
Despite numerous hepatitis C virus infection studies, its pathogenesis and medical treatment have not been fully explained. This comprehensive volume, written by experts in the field, covers the most recent advances in the study of HCV, moving from basic research to clinical applications. The first chapters of this volume analyze the full spectrum of immune responses to HCV. The volume also includes contributions that explain the state of the art in IFN-alpha treatment of HCV patients.
Constancy of Purpose
The Faculty of Medicine of the Universit of Hong Kong traces its origins back to the inauguration of the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese on 1 October, 1987, of which Dr Sun Yat-sen was one of the the first and most illustrious graduates, and it accordingly celebrates its centenary in 1987. This volume relates the development of the Faculty from its beginnings and commemorates the establishment of one of the oldest and most reputable medical schools in South East Asia. It is hoped that it will be of special attraction and appeal not only to those connected with the Faculty but also a much wider audience interested in the development of modern medical education in this region.

Development of COVID-19 Therapies: Lessons Learnt and Ongoing Efforts
Massive experimental, computational, and clinical studies have been performed worldwide, and are still ongoing, to understand and characterize Covid-19 molecular basis and transmission mechanisms, to develop diagnostics and vaccines, and to search for small chemical drug candidates and therapeutic proteins and peptides. Impressive results have been obtained for transmission control and vaccines so far, but what is the status of the other therapeutic options? The crisis has exposed different types of weaknesses in biomedical research in many countries. What can we learn from this crisis in the field of drug discovery and development so as to emerge stronger? The Covid-19 crisis has revealed t...
