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 …
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for the Treatment of Acute Exacerbation of COPD
Patients with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience gradually deteriorating lung function, which may be complicated by acute exacerbations. N- acetylcysteine (NAC) is frequently used in patients with COPD as a mucolytic. Besides its mucolytic effects, high-dose NAC has additional benefits in patients with stable COPD, including improving lung function …
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 …
Self-administered Acupressure to Improve Cancer-related Fatigue Among Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy
The primary aim of the study is to determine whether self-administered acupressure has effects equivalent to aerobic exercise on CRF in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Secondary outcomes include sleep disturbance (self-reported and objective), activity levels (self-reported and objective), quality of life (QoL), cognitive impairment, return to work, chemotherapy completion, and …
Hybrid APC for Gastric Low Grade Intraepithelial Neoplasia
This cohort study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Hybrid APC for treatment of gastric low grade intramucosal neoplasia.
Comparing Water Vapour Thermal Therapy (Rezūm) and TURP
This is a randomized controlled trial using a non-inferiority design with the subjects randomized 1:1 to either water vapour thermal treatment (REZUM) arm or transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) arm.
Optimal Non-invasive Brain Stimulation for Peripheral Vision
Glaucoma is a complex disease that can result in progressive vision loss. There are no treatments that restore vision lost to glaucoma. However, recent studies have shown that vision can be improved by non-invasive brain (NIBS) stimulation and visual training. In this study, we aim to compare and find out …
Prevention of Insomnia in At-risk Youth
This study aims to conduct a randomized controlled trial in comparing cognitive behavioral insomnia prevention program with the active control group in youths who are at risk of insomnia. The results of this study will allow us to take this potential efficacious prevention program to scale and reduce the associated …
A Potential Wearable for Post-stroke Rehabilitation
Participants are seeking to unleash the full therapeutic potential of a newly developed, customizable and potentially commericializable 10-channel Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to rehabilitate the gait of chronic stroke survivors. Each subject will undergo 18-sessions (~1 month) FES training. Participants will utilize the theory of muscle synergies from motor neurosciences, …
CardioInsight 3 - LBBB
Background Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is proven to improve survival and heart function of patient with certain electrical conduction abnormality and heart failure. However, in patient with certain electrical conduction abnormality, being nonresponder is observed in up to 40% in patient receiving CRT. Conventionally the surgical approach of CRT is …
