Prospective Evaluation of a Fast-track Treatment Pathway for Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B Under Primary Care
This is a retrospective-prospective longitudinal cohort study, with analyses performed before and after introduction of the pathway, and comparisons made to unexposed controls. We will launch a protocol-driven management for CHB patients, and provide the appropriate assessment tools (transient elastography, HBV DNA assay) to general outpatient clinics (GOPC) in Hong …
Mycoplasma Genitalium Infection and Associated Antimicrobial Resistance Among HIV-infected Male in Hong Kong
Worldwide, Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is increasingly reported as an emerging cause of sexually transmitted infections. Internationally, the prevalence of MG is higher in male with urethritis and community groups especially among people living with HIV (PLHIV). While MG is treatable, antimicrobial resistance is a rising concern. This cross-sectional study aims …
Conscious Movement Processing, Postural Stability and Muscle Efficiency in Older Adults
This study aims to address critical knowledge gaps by investigating the effects of trait conscious movement processing propensity on real-time (state) conscious movement processing propensity, postural stability, and muscle efficiency in older adults at risk of falling in Hong Kong with high and low trait conscious movement processing propensities, while …
Modelling Tau Distribution From DTI With Generative Adversarial Network for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis
The most significant impact of this project is to propose for the first time a novel generative adversarial network (GAN), as one kind of deep learning architecture, to automatically generate synthetic PET images reflecting tau deposition, from brain DTI images. If successful, this framework will become the most state-of-the-art approach …
Comparing the Difference in Muscle Synergies Between Healthy Participants and Chronic Stroke Survivors
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. Patricipants will utilize the theory of muscle synergies from motor neurosciences, which are defined as neural modules of motor control …
Dynamic Pressure Monitoring System for Orthotic Treatment of Scoliosis
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) involves three-dimensional spinal deformity in children aged between 10 and 16. Traditional braces modify the natural dynamics and thus the mechanical behaviour of the scoliotic spine through external constraints. Patients usually develop pressure ulcers and skin irritation when prescribed brace treatment for 18-23 hours per day. …
Hong Kong Spinocerebellar Ataxias Registry
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) 1, 2, 3 and 6 are the most common, autosomal dominantly inherited cerebellar degenerations. And in the Chinese population, the most common SCA is SCA3 and the frequency of SCA 3 among SCA patients is 72.5%, followed by SCA 2 that the frequency is 12% among SCA …
Advanced Translational Research on Childhood Leukemia
Prognosis of children with leukemia, the most common pediatric cancer, has improved markedly. Yet, relapse still occurs in 15-40% of patients with a probability of survival of <50%, which is unlikely to be boosted by intensification of standard chemotherapy due to overwhelming toxicity. The advent of effective and safe targeted …
A Prospective Study of Factors Related to Exacerbation and Mortality of Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis in Hong Kong
Bronchiectasis is associated with repeated exacerbations which occurs at rates of 1.5-6.5 per patients per year, and are associated with an increased risk of admission and readmission to hospital, and high health care costs. In a local study carried out more than 10 years ago, idiopathic disease dominates and patients …
The Lived Experience of Pediatric Nurse-caregiver Relationship in the PICU: a Descriptive Phenomenological Study
The goal of this qualitative study is to make exploration in the lived experience of pediatric nurse-caregiver relationship in the PICU. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the meaning of nurse-caregiver relationship among pediatric intensive care nurses in Hong Kong Participants will be invited to …
