Clinical Outcome and Future Liver Remnant Regenerative Response in Laparoscopic Versus Open ALPPS
Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a new surgical procedure that induces rapid liver regeneration in patients with small liver remnant planning for major liver resection. It is a two-staged operation with stage I including portal vein ligation and splitting the right liver away …
Expressive Arts-based Intervention for Adults With Age-related Visual Impairment
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an age-related eye disease resulting in vision loss. Persons with AMD not only experience a gradual loss of ability in independent living, but also profound impairment in psychosocial well-being.The multimodal, expressive arts-based intervention (EXABI) that emphasizes imagination and creativity can be an engaging, enjoyable, and …
Multisite Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Promote Hand Function Recovery After Stroke
A novel multisite high definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) in healthy people showed that such network-targeted stimulation could enhance motor excitability beyond traditional stimulation which targeting only one region. It showed that the excitability following multisite HD-tDCS was more than double the increase following conventional tDCS. To consider the various lesion site …
ENMS With Balance Feedback for Post-stroke Ankle-foot Rehabilitation
In this work, a novel hybrid ankle-foot robot is designed for gait rehabilitation after stroke, i.e., exoneuromusculoskeleton with balance sensing feedback (ENMS-BSF) by integrating the advantages of soft pneumatic muscle, functional electrical stimulation, exoskeleton and foot balance feedback in one system. With the assistance of the ENMS-BSF the foot drop …
Preoperative Endoscopic Pancreatic Stent for Distal Pancreatectomy
Distal pancreatectomy (DP) with or without splenectomy is commonly indicated for pancreatic body or tail lesions. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains the commonest complication after DP. A pre-operatively placed pancreatic stent across papilla can decrease the pressure gradient between pancreatic duct and duodenum. Therefore, the pancreatic juice flow is redirected …

The primary objective of this feasibility study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability, and potential clinical significance of an adaptive stepped-care intervention for improving sleep quality among Chinese cancer patients with mild-to-moderate sleep disturbance, using a sequential multiple assessment randomized controlled trial (SMART) design.
The Application of a Novel Urinalysis System (UF-5000) for Reducing Unnecessary Antibiotic Use in Clinical Suspected UTI Patients
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common diseases in population while antibiotic resistant in UTI has become a critical problem in Hong Kong, that a large proportion of the bacteria in UTI resistant to commonly used anti-UTI antibiotic treatment. This is largely due to the empirical treatment …
Acceptance-based Healthy Lifestyles Program for Patients With Pneumoconiosis
Symptoms, such as cough and shortness of breath, are common among patients with pneumoconiosis. Depression and anxiety can be elicited by the symptoms, while avoidance of daily activities is believed to reduce trigger of symptoms. The lung function is then declined and the risk of having stroke and heart failure …
Early Strengthening Rehabilitation Training for Post-operative Fracture Distal Radius
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of an early strengthening and passive mobilization rehabilitation program for post-operative distal radius fracture fixation surgery compared to current conventional rehabilitation.
