Clinical Trial on Antibiotic-Lock in Tenckhoff Catheter for Relasping and Repeat Peritonitis
Biofilm formation is an important cause of catheter-related infection. In hemodialysis, use of an antibiotic-lock has been proven to be effective to manage such a complication with preservation of the central venous catheter. In peritoneal dialysis, while biofilm has been implicated in relapsing and repeat peritonitis, both of which are …
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 …
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 …
Rapid Breath-hold Quantitative Macromolecular Proton Fraction Imaging for Liver Fibrosis
Chronic liver disease is a major health problem worldwide. Liver fibrosis is a key feature in most chronic liver diseases. When identified early, liver fibrosis may be reversible. Currently, liver biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis. Liver biopsy; however, is invasive. Non-invasive diagnostic tools are …
Improving Work Ability of Young Adults With Stroke
This project will investigate effects of a novel theory-driven 6-week virtual Personal Resource Building and Inclusive Volunteering Intervention (PVI) on young stroke survivors' work ability, self-efficacy and psychosocial outcomes. It is hypothesised that participants in the intervention group, compared with the control group, will demonstrate the outcomes below at immediately …
ESWL for Distal Ureteric Stone: Supine Versus Prone
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for urinary stone is common and widespread nowadays. Approximately 80% of urinary stones are treated by ESWL. Traditionally distal ureteric stones are treated with ESWL in the prone position. However, as some patients cannot tolerate lying in the prone due to medical illness such as chronic …
BETTY: BEnign Prostatic Hyperplasia Transperineal Targeted Microwave therapY
This is a pilot study on applying 3D-Ultrasound-Guided Transperineal Microwave needle ablation for men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Immune Checkpoint Therapy vs Target Therapy in Reducing Serum HBsAg Levels in Patients With HBsAg+ Advanced Stage HCC
It is estimated that over 50% of HCC cases worldwide are related to chronic HBV. There are approximately 350-400 million people across the world infected with HBV, the majority reside in or originate from Asia. Each year HBV accounts for 749,000 new cases of HCC and 692,000 HCC-related deaths. The …
GLP-1 Analogue in Preventing Progression of Small Vessel Disease (GAPP-SVD)
Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), a result of neurovascular cell dysfunction, is a major cause of stroke, dementia and mobility problems worldwide. Vascular risk factor control alone may not be sufficient to prevent the development of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) in patients with cSVD according to previous clinical trials. The …
Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and the Association With Cognitive Impairment
The study is aimed to carry out an epidemiology study investigating the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the association with cognitive impairment.
