AI Gum Health Evaluation With Smartphone
Background The most common dental diseases are tooth decay (caries) and gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis). Obviously, these diseases are caused by dental plaque (bacterial biofilm). Although most patients brush their teeth every day, they cannot keep all their teeth clean. Areas in the mouth that are difficult to access, …
KeySteps@JC Phase One Follow-up Study
This proposed study is a 5-year follow-up study of "KeySteps Phase One Study", which focused on bridging the gap between students from privileged and underprivileged families. This study will investigate the long-term effects of early childhood interventions provided during the kindergarten stage on primary school children and their families and …
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 …
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, …
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.
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 …
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 …
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. …
