Effect of Virtual Reality and Music Therapy on Pain Relief in OPH Operations
Outpatient hysteroscopy can serve as a diagnostic procedure to evaluate for abnormal uterine bleeding, such as menorrhagia or postmenopausal bleeding. This study focuses on the therapeutic aspect of outpatient hysteroscopy, such as myomectomy, polypectomy, intrauterine adhesiolysis and removal of lost intrauterine devices, etc. Apart from the conventional polyp scissors and …
Effective Translation of Endovascular Thrombectomy Trials Into Real-world Practice in the Asia-Pacific
As a major breakthrough of acute stroke treatment over the past decade, endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) drastically improved neurological recovery and survival in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic strokes in major clinical trials. Nevertheless, much remained uncertain about the implementation of scientific evidence of EVT into real-world benefits. For …
Comparing the Diagnostic Sensitivity and Specificity of Pleural Fluid N-Terminal Pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and Other Biochemical Gradient Criteria in Distinguishing Heart Failure and Non-heart Failure Related Pleural Effusions (CENTRE Study)
To assess the discriminative properties of pleural fluid (PF) N-terminal-proB-type-natriuretic-peptide (NTproBNP) levels in identifying heart failure (HF)-associated pleural effusions (PE).
Direct Discrimination of Quantum States by the Human Eye
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a debilitating eye disease that causes a loss of central vision. The prevalence of AMD increases exponentially with age and causes a significant impact through both medical expenses and the social and economic costs associated with vision loss. AMD is the global leading cause of …
Relationship of Airway Microbiota, Endotype and Phenotype in Adult Asthma
Increasing evidence supports that the respiratory microbiota, including viral and bacterial microorganisms, play important roles in respiratory health and disease. Microbial patterns in airways may induce distinctive endotypes of asthma. Previous studies suggest host-microbiota interactions in children may account for the heterogeneity of endotypes and clinical presentations. However, information on …
EUS-GBD vs Antibiotics for Patients at High Risk for Cholecystectomy
Objectives Acute cholecystitis commonly occurs in elderly patients who are at high-risk for surgery. Whether upfront Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is advantageous over antibiotics first for mild acute cholecystitis is uncertain. Hypothesis to be tested The aim is to compare EUS-GBD versus standard protocol (antibiotics first) as a definitive …
Vitamin D to Improve Quadricep Muscle Strength
Quadriceps muscle strength is one of the key determinants for patients to fulfill the Return-to-Play (RTP) criteria after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), in which the muscle size is directly linked to muscle strength. Quadriceps muscle atrophy is unavoidable after ACLR, but the rehabilitation program should increase quadriceps muscle …
CXD101 in Immunotherapy-related Liver Cancer
For hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), durable responses and improved survivals have been reported in clinical trials on immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based treatment. However, resistance to ICI is increasingly encountered in clinical practice in HCC patients. Various approaches are currently evaluated in clinical setting to tackle acquired resistance during treatment of ICIs …
In-utero Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for the Treatment of Fetuses With Bart's Hydrops Fetalis Syndrome
This is a prospective observational pilot study on pregnant women who are diagnosed to have Bart's hydrops fetalis syndrome (BHFS) affected fetuses and opt for continuation of pregnancy will be invited to consider undergoing in-utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation under a research protocol, aiming to determine whether in-utero hematopoietic stem …
Glaucoma Rehabilitation With Action viDeo Games and Exercise - GRADE
Falls are one of the most serious public health concerns for seniors, with significant medical and economic consequences. This concern is even higher in patients with peripheral field loss due to glaucoma because of the patients' compromised visual input.
