The Principal’s Graduation
Putting admirable rationales of university education into practice is never easy. While it is popular to emphasize market values and competitive rankings, moral values and ideals sound way too lofty nowadays. Under tensions on campus and in society, the head of a university takes the role of striking a balance as skilfully as possible. Professor Joseph Sung is no exception to all these challenges. He has been enjoying university life with teachers and students, going through ups and downs with them. This book, a collection of 57 blog articles by Professor Sung during his tenure as the seventh ViceChancellor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, tells us the stories. He talks about higher education and social responsibility, pathways and choices our youths make, the visions he had and the challenges he faced, and life values which he wishes his students could take seriously. Though generations come and go, he still cares that they live a simple, noble and humble life. He hopes we care too.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
This is a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the clinical management of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). It covers the various aspects, from diagnosis, clinical presentation and therapeutic modalities to rehabilitation. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted, with inputs from clinicians, radiologists, intensivists, nurses, physiotherapists, and experts in traditional Chinese medicine. The information presented is based on existing knowledge and evidence about the disease, taking the view that things are still evolving. This book is an indispensable guide for frontline healthcare workers, including doctors and nurses, as well as medical students and medical researchers.
Analysis of Chronic Diseases Progression Using Stochastic Modeling
This is a book that handles the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease from the bio-statistical point of view . The statistical method used is Continuous Time Markov Chains ( CTMCs) utilizing the MLE and quasi-Newton method to estimates the transition rate matrix , once obtained , the transition probability matrix can be estimated by exponentiation of this rate matrix. The transition probability matrix can also be obtained by solving forward Kolmogorov differential equations which yields more stable solution than the matrix exponentiation. The rate probability matrix can then be used to estimate the number of patients in each stage of the disease process as well as the life expectancy in each sta...
Collective Behavior of Magnetic Micro/Nanorobots
Collective Behavior of Magnetic Micro/Nanorobots: Control, Imaging, and Applications reviews recent advances in the design and construction of magnetic collective micro/nanorobot systems, and promotes the bridging of the gap between their theoretical investigation and practical applications. By summarizing the recent progress in control, imaging, and biomedical applications of collective micro/nanorobots, the authors show the big picture of micro/nanorobotics and the roadmap of collective micro/nanorobots. They then discuss the control, imaging, and biomedical applications of collective micro/nanorobots, respectively, demonstrating the state-of-the-art techniques and ideas for designing systems of collective micro/nanorobots that can help researchers have a better understanding and further stimulate the development of such an exciting field. This book is suitable for scientists, engineers, and students involved in the study of robotics, control, materials, and mechanical/electrical engineering.
Principles and Practice of Clinical Medicine in Asia
This book is a new and improved revision of the Textbook of Clinical Medicine for Asia. It is ideal as a standard medical text for students and physicians in Asia, as well as a reliable resource for physicians and researchers involved in treating Asians in the West. The book aims to outline approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions that are common to the region or its peoples. Each chapter includes an introduction to the basic concepts and current status in a medical specialty such as cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology and rheumatology. The chapters are based on local practice and regional expertise with statistics and experience unique to the Asia-Pacific region. Thus the book reflects the knowledge and experience of the disease patterns in the region.
Microbiome and Human Health
The book, “Microbiome and Human Health”, delves into the dynamic relationship between the microbiome and various health conditions. This book relates to the human health care system offering a comprehensive analysis highlighting the roles of microbiome in disease prevention, management, and overall well-being. Covering a wide range of topics, from the microbiome’s influence on nutrition and immunity to its association with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer, the book explores cutting-edge research and futuristic diagnosis. It highlights emerging areas such as the microbiome's interaction with SARS-CoV-2, eye health, osteoarthritis, and miscarriages, along with innovative approaches like nano-engineering and artificial intelligence in microbiome-related research. This is envisaged to be useful for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals, highlighting the microbiome’s vast diversity and its potential in diagnostics, disease management, and therapeutic intervention. Owing to its multidisciplinary approaches, the book offers a fresh perspective on human health, and on a wide range of related issues.
