Pharmacokinetics of Apixaban in Peritoneal Dialysis
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is fairly prevalent in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) with the prevalence estimated to be 3.8 - 27%. While it is reported that patient with peritoneal dialysis (PD) has a lower incidence of AF as compared to patient with haemodialysis (HD), the risk is still …
Sleep Apnea and Cognitive Function in Subjects With Subjective or Mild Cognitive Impairment
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep that causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and leads to cardiometabolic and neurocognitive sequelae. Chronic intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation of OSA, and insufficient sleep have been significantly associated with higher risks of …
CUHK Stroke Biobank
The purpose of the study are: To make quality, characterized samples and related data available for future studies, including Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), genomics, and biomarker research; To use these samples and related medical information to answer research questions aimed at understanding the genetics and underlying biology of acquired …
Prodromal Markers in Recurrent Dream Enactment Behaviors Without REM Sleep Without Atonia
REM sleep behavior disorder is a novel and distinct parasomnia characterized by recurrent dream enactment behaviors (DEBs) and REM sleep without atonia (RSWA) during polysomnographic assessment, with a male predominance and typical onset age at early 60's. The majority of patients with idiopathic RBD (iRBD) will eventually develop α-synucleinopathy, for …
Sleep Apnea, Neurocognitive Decline and Brain Imaging in Patients With Subjective or Mild Cognitive Impairment
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep that causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and potentially lead to cardiometabolic and neurocognitive sequelae. Chronic intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation of OSA, and insufficient sleep have been significantly associated with higher risks …
The Impact of Excessive Dietary Sodium on Brain Health
Sporadic cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is not only the most common subtype of vascular dementia, in recent multi-center study showed that sporadic CSVD harbors in a third of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients in 9 Asian regions. The CSVD increases the severity of cognitive impairment in these patients and has …
Clinical Application of Serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Measurements
This study aims to assess the association of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) with polycystic ovarian syndrome, premature ovarian insufficiency and fertility. The main objectives include the following: To study the level of serum AMH in women with PCOS and to evaluate the utility of serum AMH in the diagnosis of PCOS. …
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 N-terminal-proB-type Natriuretic Peptide With Other Criteria in Pleural Fluid Analysis
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).
Follicular Fluid Exosome miRNA During Oocyte Maturation
Folliculogenesis involves the recruitment of primordial follicles into a group of growing follicles in which eventually one follicle is selected, matured and ovulated. Complex endocrine and intra-ovarian paracrine interactions occur to create a changing intra-follicular hormonal milieu suitable for oocyte development. However, this oocyte developmental competence and to undergo fertilization …
