This two volume-set LNCS 13769 and LNCS 14092 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International MICCAI Brainlesion Workshop, BrainLes 2022, as well as the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) Challenge, the Brain Tumor Sequence Registration (BraTS-Reg) Challenge, the Cross-Modality Domain Adaptation (CrossMoDA) Challenge, and the Federated Tumor Segmentation (FeTS) Challenge. These were held jointly at the Medical Image Computing for Computer Assisted Intervention Conference, MICCAI 2022, in September 2022. The 46 revised full papers presented in these volumes were selected form 65 submissions.The presented contributions describe the research of computational scientists and clinical researchers working on brain lesions - specifically glioma, multiple sclerosis, cerebral stroke, traumatic brain injuries, vestibular schwannoma, and white matter hyper-intensities of presumed vascular origin.

Examines the history of the Hong Kong crime film before 1986Departs from the predominant focus on action aesthetics in studies of Hong Kong cinema to focus on the early crime film's close links to local society and politicsDraws on years of research on censorship and the crime film in archives in Hong Kong and in the United KingdomProvides ample evidence of the often-overlooked role film censorship played in shaping Hong Kong genre cinemaConnects the appearance of the modern crime film in the late 1960s and 1970s to the growing consciousness of a distinctive Hong Kong identityHong Kong Crime Films is the first book detailing the post-war history of the genre before the release of John Woo's A Better Tomorrow (1986), the film that put Hong Kong action-crime on the global map. Focusing on what it calls the mode of ‘criminal realism'in the crime film, the book shows how depictions of Hong Kong's social reality (including crime) were for decades anxiously policed by colonial censors, and how crime films tended (and still tend) to confound and transgress critical definitions of realism.Drawing on extensive archival research, Hong Kong Crime Films covers several neglected topics in the study of Hong Kong cinema, such as the evolving generic landscape of the crime film prior to the 1980s, the influence of colonial film censorship on the genre, and the prominence and contestation of realism'in the local history of the crime film.'

Now in Paperback! Early in 1971, Five Fingers of Death premiered in a New York movie theater. This was America's first look at a Chinese martial arts movie. In Chicago that same year, Duel of the Iron Fist debuted. With the release of Bruce Lee's films, the market exploded. And thus began America's love affair with what is one of the most misunderstood and maligned film genres.The Encyclopedia covers the genre from 1920 to 1994. The genre, however, can be very confusing: films often have several titles, and many of the stars have more than one pseudonym. In an effort to clarify some of the confusion, the authors have included all the information available to them on almost 3,300 films. Each entry includes a listing of the production company, the cast and crew, distributors, running times, reviews with star ratings whenever possible, and alternate film titles. A list of film series and one of the stars'pseudonyms, in addition to a 7,900 name index, are also included. Illustrated.
