Study of Product of Conception Derived From Ultrasound-guided Manual Vacuum Aspiration
Early pregnancy loss is very common, approximately one in four women will experience a miscarriage in their lifetime. The etiology of pregnancy loss remains largely unknown, although genetic, anatomical, endocrinological and immunological abnormalities have been implicated. It is known that embryonic/fetal chromosomal aberrations contributed to approximately 50% of early pregnancy …
Single Cell Sequencing of Tonsillar Tissue in Children With OSA
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in children is a prevalent sleep disorder, and is characterised by repetitive complete or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep. It is an important disease as it is associated with a large spectrum of end-organ morbidities. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the commonest cause of OSA in children, …
Surgical Outcomes of the Accelerometer-based Navigation System for Total Knee Arthroplasty
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a very common condition in the elderly population. Treatment for end-stage OA is total knee Replacement (TKR)
Prospective Study on Clinical Outcomes of Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Pneumothorax can be fatal if treatment is delayed or the pneumothorax is refractory. However, the mortality rates and their risk factors were mainly reported from retrospective studies, and local data regarding the mortality of spontaneous pneumothorax is scarce. This study aims at evaluating the in-hospital mortality and relevant clinical outcomes …
DIC Markers and Thrombin Generation Parameters in Patients on ECMO Support: a Pilot Study
To study the correlation between novel DIC markers and thrombin generation parameters with thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications of patients on ECMO support.
Soy Exposure on Bone Development and Gut Microbiota
In this project, the investigators aim to investigate the effects of soy consumption at early life on the development of gut microbiota and bone growth. The hypothesis to be tested is that early-life exposure to soy optimize bone growth via the alteration of gut microbiota composition. Clinical samples from mother-child …
Public Education to Promote Family Communication and Well-being
With the increasing use of information and communication technology (ICT), family information can be easily accessed. Family information seeking was found to be associated with higher levels of family well-being. Alongside the growth in popularity of ICTs and its role in promoting family well-being, there is also a growing appreciation …
Intra- and Interindividual Moderators of Prefrontal Excitability Investigated Using Simultaneous TMS With Neuroimaging
The simultaneous application of brain stimulation and neuroimaging offers significant potential for advancing basic neuroscience research and developing objective diagnostic and prognostic markers for mental disorders. The University Research Facility in Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience (UBSN), in collaboration with Principal Investigator Dr. Georg Kranz, recently acquired a TMS-compatible Magnetic Resonance …
The Relationships Between Equanimity, Mindfulness, and Self-Compassion, and Mental Health Outcomes
This is an academic research study aiming to explore the relationships between equanimity, mindfulness, self-compassion, and mental health outcomes, and to examine the reliability and validity of the new measures in Hong Kong.
Cross-validating the iTBS-induced Hemodynamic Response From fNIRS and fMRI: a Concurrent iTBS-fMRI-fNIRS Study
Intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is well established in treating patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the iTBS-induced hemodynamic response during or immediately after a full session of stimulation has not been fully investigated. Although several concurrent iTBS/functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and …
