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, …
The Effect of PEMF for Patients With Knee OA
Health care costs are increasing alarmingly, which will impose an overwhelming economic burden to an aging society like that of Hong Kong. For example, degenerative musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis (OA) present a grand challenge with its high prevalence (>40% in the elderly suffered from knee OA). OA is a …
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.

Combining Physiotherapy Group Exercise With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Elderly With Chronic Low Back Pain
This two-armed randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate the effectiveness of Group Exercise with acceptance and commitment therapy led by physiotherapist (GrExPACT) (experimental intervention) as compared to Group Exercise alone (GrEx) (control intervention) for elderly with chronic low back pain (LBP) whom are stratified as medium or high-risk using …
MOBILE Health Intervention in IntraCerebral Hemorrhage Survivors
This randomized controlled trial investigates the efficacy and safety of mobile health intervention in managing hypertension after Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH).
A Novel Integrative Non-invasive Embryo Selection Approach for in Vitro Fertilization Based on Artificial Intelligence Enhanced Morphokinetic Analysis and Raman Spectra in Spent Culture Media
During assisted reproductive technology treatment, embryo selection is an important process that may affect the clinical pregnancy rate. Many assisted reproductive technology units over the world have tried different approaches to increase the clinical pregnancy rate. Conventionally, the morphology of the embryo is assessed by the embryologist with naked eyes …
