Genetic Association With Various Severities, Phenotypes and Endotypes of Asthma.
There is limited information on genetics associated with asthma in Chinese. An earlier meta-analysis found that ADAM33, FcεRIb, RANTES, TNF-a, ACE, b2-AR, IL-4R and IL-13 genes could be proposed as asthma susceptible genes in the Chinese population. However, given the limited number of studies, more data are required to validate …
Long-Term Follow-up Study for Subjects With CHB Previously Treated With Imdusiran (AB729)
This is a long term follow-up study for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) subjects who have received imdusiran treatment in a prior clinical trial, stopped NA therapy during that trial, and remain off therapy. Subjects may enroll after completing the end of study visit (baseline visit within 12 weeks ± 1 …
Cognitive Decline in AD
There is lack of information on the risk factors of accelerated cognitive decline in older people with Alzheimer disease (AD). The extent of neurodegeneration and white matter disease has been reported to be important factors. In addition there may be biomarkers e.g. inflammatory cytokines that can contribute to cognitive decline. …
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).
Relationship of Airway Microbiota, Endotype and Phenotype in Adult Asthma
Increasing evidence supports that the respiratory microbiota, including viral and bacterial microorganisms, play important roles in respiratory health and disease. Microbial patterns in airways may induce distinctive endotypes of asthma. Previous studies suggest host-microbiota interactions in children may account for the heterogeneity of endotypes and clinical presentations. However, information on …
oGVHD After Bone Marrow Transplantation: a Territory-wide Cohort
Allogeneic Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective treatment for all array of blood or blood-producing organ disorders. Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) occurs as a result of an overactive immunological system against normal host tissues. It can happen in the liver, skin, mucosal surface of the eye, gastrointestinal tract, and genitalia. …
Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and the Association With Cognitive Impairment
The study is aimed to carry out an epidemiology study investigating the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the association with cognitive impairment.
Microbiology and Treatment Outcome of Acute Exacerbation of Bronchiectasis in Hong Kong
Bronchiectasis is a common disease worldwide with a high burden on healthcare resources. In Hong Kong (HK), local microbiological and clinical data regarding acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis (AEB) is lacking, in particular the frequency of pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) in AEB is yet to be elucidated. A better understanding of the …
Serial Gut Microbiome and Bacterial Gene Markers Changes After Endoscopic Resection of Colorectal Advanced Neoplasia
The investigators hypothesize that gut microbiome composition and the four bacterial gene markers (M3) show dynamic changes after endoscopic resection of advanced neoplasia, some key bacteria are associated with restoration of gut microbiome after endoscopic resection.
