RCT of Combination Effect of Vibration Treatment and HMB Supplementation on Myosteatosis and NMJ Degeneration
The investigators' pre-clinical study confirms the positive effects of combined treatment (VT + HMB) on reducing fat-to-lean tissue ratio, intramuscular fat infiltration and increasing muscle strength in sarcopenia animal model. The results showed that fat mass could be decreased by ~32%, while histology Oil Red O staining indicated a decrease …
Transurethral Modified En Bloc Resection For Large Bladder Tumours.
Modified en bloc resection is a hybrid technique involving piecemeal resection of the exophytic part of the bladder tumour, followed by en bloc resection of the tumour base. In this study, we shall investigate the efficacy of modified en bloc resection for patients with bladder tumours of ≥3cm in size.
Microfluidic Chip Method Versus Density Gradient Centrifugation Method on Semen Parameters
Infertility affects many couples, with male infertility being a common cause. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an effective treatment, but its success rates are not high. Semen quality can affect IVF outcomes, and the current method used to process semen can damage the sperm and DNA. Scientists are now testing …
Baseline Relative Peripheral Refraction in Myopia Control
Myopia has become a world concern and its prevalence has increased in recent decades. Myopic defocus has been applied for slowing down the axial elongation and myopia progression, which is mainly based on the theory of simultaneous competing defocus and peripheral optics. Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) spectacle lenses impose …

RCT for the Efficacy of Soothing Cream Jel in Improving Upper Limb Pain and Motion
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. This trial is used to evaluate the efficacy of soothing cream jel on chronic upper limb pain and the range of motion.
A Novel Oral Synbiotic Formula in Reducing Adenoma Recurrence and Colorectal Neoplasia-related Bacterial Gene Markers
This double blinded randomized controlled trial aims to assess the efficacy of a novel oral synbiotic formula (SMT04) in reducing adenoma recurrence and colorectal neoplasia-related bacterial gene markers after endoscopic resection of colorectal advanced neoplasia.
An Internet-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Enhancement (i-CARE) Intervention to Support Self-care of Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
This study aims to examine the effects of an internet-based cardica rehabilitation enhancement (i-CARE) programme for coronary artery disease (CAD) patients on self-care behaviour, biomarkers, physiological, anthropometric parameters, clinical outcomes and self-reported health outcomes and to understand why and how i-CARE influences patients' health behaviours.
The Effect of Music Therapy Under Ultrasound Guided Manual Vacuum Aspiration
Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is one of the surgical treatment options for managing early pregnancy loss. When compared to traditional surgical method; MVA is safer, more cost-effective, due to its shorter hospitalisation period and not undergo the risk of general anaesthesia. The MVA procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and …
