Microbiome and Metabolomics Profiling in Children With OSA
Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) exhibits variable susceptibility to end-organ morbidities. Previous studies suggest that physiological sequelae in individuals with OSA promote changes in microbiome, which also interact with metabolic and inflammatory mediators. Therefore, microbiome and metabolomic profiling could potentially reveal the pathological processes underlying OSA. The primary objectives of …
Vitamin D and Endometrial Receptivity in Infertile Women
This is a prospective study comparing vaginal and endometrial biomarkers and the trophoblast spheroid attachment rate in women with fertility problems before and after taking Vitamin D for 8 weeks.
The Effect of Multidisciplinary Care Approach on CV Risk Modification in CaP Patients Receiving ADT
Prostate cancer is characterised by its slow progression nature, and even for metastatic disease, the 5-year survival is up to 30%. While ADT can effectively control disease, there is increasing evidence suggesting that it can also result in many adverse cardiovascular side effects on the patients, and these effects are …
The Use of Thrombin Generation Assay in Detection of Central Line Related Thrombosis (CRT) in Critically Ill Patients
To study thrombin generation parameters in critically ill patients with and without central line related thrombosis (CRT).
Natural History of Advanced Chronic Liver Diseases
This is a retrospective-prospective registry cohort study. Patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) will be prospectively invited to this study. The study follow-up duration will be 10 years. The primary outcome is incident hepatic events and liver-related mortality. Participants will undergo annual transient elastography examination.
Application of Comprehensive Non-invasive Assessment To Phenotype Tricuspid Regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an increasingly recognized valvular heart disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. With the availability of various novel transcatheter tricuspid interventions, it is no longer considered a "forgotten valve." Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent condition also characterized by high morbidity and …
Dapa Acute Heart Failure Study
Heart failure (HF) is one of the most important reasons for hospital admission and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. After discharge, up to 40% of patients are readmitted within 6 months and 1-year post-discharge mortality is high. The cost burden of treating patients with HF is high and …
Retrospective Review on Uterovaginal Anomalies
Review of surgical outcomes of patient who have undergone surgery for uterovaginal anomalies. Case notes of patients would be reviewed and data would be gathered for statistical analysis.
Cardiovascular Physiological Signal Recording Project
Vital sign monitoring is important for patients, especially those with underlying cardiovascular diseases. Traditional monitoring including SaO2, blood pressure, pulse, rhythm monitoring can be cumbersome, with wires and cuff attached to a patient. This can lead to reduced compliance, especially in uncooperative patients or young kids. The use of photoplethysmography …
Smartwatch Paroxysmal Arrhythmia Detection Compared with Holter
The lifetime risk for development of atrial fibrillation, the commonest sustained arrhythmia in adults, is estimated to be 24%-27% for individuals of 40 years or older. Previous work showed that annual new diagnosis of AF is 11000-26000 in Hong Kong. Other arrhythmia such as supraventricular arrhythmia or premature beats were …
