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 …
Metagenomic Study in Parapneumonic Effusion
Objective: To identify known and unknown bacterial pathogens in patients with pleural infections using a combination of conventional culture and next-generation sequencing approaches. Hypothesis to be tested: The investigators hypothesize that next-generation sequencing will serve as a comprehensive approach to identify culturable and unculturable bacterial pathogens in patients with pleural …
BioFreedom Ultra Registry
Over the past three decades, coronary stent struts have been made progressively thinner. Thin strut drug-eluting stents (DES) performed better than their thicker counterparts in a recent study. Thinner struts discourage abnormal coronary flow after implantation and associated with greater flexibility, deliverability and better clinical outcomes. Lower strut thickness may …
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. …
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 …
Assessment of Skeletal Maturity Using Proximal Femoral Epiphysis in Patients With Scoliosis
This study aims to explore the use of proximal femoral head for the assessment of skeletal maturity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. The aim is to validate the use of the stages of proximal femoral epiphyseal closure in assessing pubertal growth landmarks in this patient cohort. The grading system of …
Impact of COVID-19 Vaccines on Cerebrovascular Health
Safe and effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines may reduce the transmission of and achieve population immunity against the COVID-19 pandemic, which accounted for more than 3.75million deaths worldwide. With World Health Organization's (WHO) effort on ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, vaccination rate may increase in …
Feeding Mom Feeding Infant's Microbiota: Nutritional Strategies for Improving Breast Milk Composition and Infant Health
The first 1000 days, i.e., the earliest stage of life, is a unique period of opportunity to establish the foundations of human growth and health through the lifespan. In the recent decades, multiple studies have explored nutritional strategies for improving infant health through improving the nutritive and bioactive compositions in …
Helicobacter Pylori, Atrophic Gastritis and Intestinal Metaplasia Registry and Prospective Study
Since much is unknown about factors that lead to progression of the pre-neoplastic lesions and cancer. In addition, there is ongoing debate on the optimal surveillance intervals and techniques. To solve these important clinical questions, the establishment of a registry for a longitudinal study is planned.
Neural Correlates of Impulsivity in Idiopathic REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
This study aims to investigate the neural correlates (structural changes, functional connectivity, and structural connectivity of brain structures in prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia) of impulsivity by measuring structures and the blood-oxygen-level-dependent signal of brain in response to impulsive tasks and task-free using functional Magnetic Resonance Image method among healthy …
