**Selected stories from 25 Kes & 26 Kes, translated into English** A hospital is a battleground. People with all sorts of wounds and scars – crawling with their pain, fear and hopes – struggle to survive this war. The internal battle of life that seems to never end. Being a healthcare worker in this battlefield means being allowed a special peek into each of these intricately wounded lives. We watched, we observed, we were allowed to hold their flags, and more often than not, the blood smeared onto our hands, and the paints of our patients forever mingled with that of ours. That One Case attempts to capture each of these stories, that has left lasting scars on the memories of our lives a...

Chapters on spina bifida cover such topics as the etiology and pathophysiology of caudal neural tube defects, the overall management of pediatric patients with spina bifida, surgical treatment, and urological and orthopedic care.

Osteogenesis is a core component of the skeletal system and depends on the well-coordinated proliferation and differentiation of osteogenic cells. Multiple signaling pathways and transcriptional factors tightly regulate the process of osteogenesis. Any abnormities in bone formation could cause severe disorders such as osteogenesis imperfecta and osteoporosis. Bone regeneration, a complex and well-orchestrated physiological process of osteogenesis, remains a medical challenge in the field of orthopedics and maxillofacial surgery. This book provides an overview of the current developments in osteogenesis and bone regeneration, including molecular and cellular mechanisms, physical therapies (low-level laser, distraction osteogenesis), biological therapies (mesenchymal stem cells, stem cell derived exosomes, inflammatory factor, Chinese medicine), as well as tissue engineering approaches promoting bone regeneration by targeting osteogenesis.

Hospital adalah sebuah gelanggang yang sukar diduga. Pelbagai kerenah, ragam, juga warna manusia saling bergelumang dan mencelorengkan. Bergelar petugas kesihatan umpama melihat ke dalam cermin kehidupan. Menjadi pemerhati yang tajam, juga sesekali terheret sama ke kancah yang menikam. 25 kes daripada 25 penulis ini merakam pengalaman itu. Sejumlah pertembungan yang kemas pada ingatan seperti retak sekeping cermin. Sentiasa ada setiap kali mereka merenung ke dalamnya. Ironi. Konflik. Motivasi. Inspirasi. Debar. Panik. Hiba. Tawa. Iktibar. Dera. Semua adjektif dan superlatif yang menitis dan mencomotkan lantai hospital. Ini adalah kehidupan (juga kematian) yang perlu ditangani para penulisnya. That one case - yang tak terlupakan.
Dalam kepala kanak-kanak, ia ada dua wajah. SATU. Seorang lelaki berkot putih. Berkaca mata. Tersenyum madu menampakkan baris gigi yang sihat. Di tangan kirinya ada satu set gigi plastik dan di tangan kanannya ada berus gigi. “Gosok dalam pusingan ya, adik-adik! Mulakan dari sini. Gosok. Gosok. Gosok.” Dan kanak-kanak yang mencangkung di tepi longkang pun memberus gigi dengan gelak tawa dan nakal sambil memegang cawan plastik berisi air. “Brrrrrrr brrrr brrrrr…puuuuiih…” (tersembur air) DUA. Seorang lelaki dengan apron. Topeng menutup muka. Menjeling tajam dengan kening runcing. Tangan kanannya ada jarum. Tangan kiri ada gerudi. “Ok, adik. Duduk diam. Sebut aaaaaaa… lagi aaaaa… lagi aaaaa…!” Eeeeee… Dan kanak-kanak itu pun melompat dari kerusi, berjanji takkan masuk lagi! Walau apapun nostalgia zaman kanak-kanak anda, mereka tetap susuk yang sama. Ada yang memanggilnya Doktor Kolget. Doktor gigi. Atau dentist. Cerita mereka tetap sama. Pengalaman mereka tetap sama. Dah sedia? “Sebut aaaaa… aaa… aaaa… Ei. Berapa hari tak gosok gigi ni?”
