Effectiveness of the Defocus Incorporated Spectacle Lenses on Fast Progressing Myope
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and performance of the variant of Defocus Incorporated Spectacle lenses on controlling myopia progression in fast progressing myopic children.
3D-Printed Patient-Specific Surgical Plates Versus Conventional Surgical Plates in Jaw Reconstruction
Objectives: The aim of this randomised controlled clinical trial is to evaluate surgical accuracy and efficiency of computer-assisted jaw reconstruction using 3D-printed patient-specific titanium surgical plates versus conventional plates. Hypothesis to be tested: The investigators hypothesize that compared to conventional surgical plates, 3D-printed patient-specific surgical plates improve surgical accuracy and …
Upper Limb Mirror Therapy With Bilateral Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation to Improve Upper Limb Functions in Patients With Stroke
This study compare the effectiveness of 2 rehabilitation programmes that use (1) MT with Bilateral TENS (Bi-TENS), (2) sham-MT with Bi-TENS (Bi-TENS), respectively, in addition to conventional rehabilitation of standardized upper limb training, in improving upper limb motor functions, activities of daily living, community integration, and quality of life in …
Prevention of Recurrent Ulcer Bleeding in Patients With Idiopathic Gastroduodenal Ulcer
Patients with a history of idiopathic gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding face an increased risk of recurrent ulcer gastrointestinal bleeding. Our ongoing clinical trial demonstrates a possible reduced risk of recurrent idiopathic gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding with proton pump inhibitor (PPI), yet there is a significant risk of recurrent ulcer bleeding as PPI …
EUS Guided HVA and PVA for Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients
The discovery of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (crDNA) in blood and the maturation of technologies for ctDNA analysis have presented an attractive opportunity for minimally invasive "liquid biopsy" genomic diagnostics. The investigators plan to perform EUS-guided portal vein and hepatic vein aspiration in GI cancers patients. The aim of the …
Tai-Chi and Aerobic Exercise to Improve Emotional Symptom Cluster in Late-stage Lung Cancer Patients
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of Tai-Chi and aerobic exercise on the emotional symptom cluster, and the underlying mechanism of that cluster, in late-stage lung cancer patients. Participants will be randomized into one of three groups: 1) Tai-Chi group, 2) aerobic exercise group, …
Preoperative Teriparatide Use on Insertional Torque of Pedicle Screws for Lumbar Fusion Surgery
This project aims to investigate any difference of insertional torque strength for osteoporotic patients with preoperative 1-month teriparatide injections versus those without. The increased insertional torque of pedicle screws during surgery after only 1 month of teriparatide use has also been studied. However, the effect of teriparatide on vertebral body …
Elastic Band-Progressive Resistance Training (EB-PRT) for Sarcopenia Among Heart Failure Patients
Heart failure (HF) is a complicated clinical syndrome caused by structural and/or functional cardiac abnormalities that result in ineffective myocardial pumping. HF management has placed more emphasis on improving the prognostic factors which determine these poor clinical outcomes. More recently, the prognostic role of sarcopenia in HF has received particular …
OTSC vs. Angiographic Embolization in Patients With Refractory Non-variceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
In the management of patients with acute upper non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, further bleeding is the most important adverse factor predictive of mortality. In the United Kingdom Audit on acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding, clinical evidence of further bleeding was reported in 13% of patients following the first endoscopy and 27% …
Monitoring Changes in Hepatic Steatosis Using Continuous Controlled Attenuation Parameter
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 30% of the Asian adult population and is emerging as one of the important leading causes of liver cancer and cirrhosis. Although a number of biomarkersmany have been developed for the assessment of liver fat and fibrosis, most existing studies were cross-sectional in …
