Mucosal Inflammation in Children With OSA
Objectives: Variability of clinical phenotypes in childhood obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has prompted research for biomarkers to identify patients at risk of developing OSA-related complications. Upper airway inflammation is documented in children with OSA. Whether it is related to end-organ morbidities and systemic inflammation is under-explored. The primary objectives of …
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 …
Gut Microbiota in the Progression of Alpha-synucleinopathies
The aim of this study is to correlate baseline gut microbiota features and the progression of neurodegeneration in the established cohort of patients with early Parkinson's disease.
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 …
Disease Burden and Cost Consequence of Falls Among Individuals With Parkinson's Disease in Hong Kong: A Prospective Cost-utility Analysis

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.
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).
Real-life Assessment of Brexpiprazole (Rexulti) in Schizophrenia and in Depressive Disorders
Not only being the mainstay of treatment for schizophrenia spectrum psychotic disorders, antipsychotics, especially the second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) have also been recommended as augmenting agents for treating depression. Dopaminergic agents, including both dopamine D2/D3 antagonists and dopamine partial D2 agonists, have been effective for treating psychosis and schizophrenia. Amongst all …
Respiratory Virus Metagenomics After COVID-19
The study aims to characterize the distributive pattern of viruses in upper airway and its relationship with influenza seasons, symptomatology and exposure setting. A total of 500 adults residing in Hong Kong would be recruited, who would complete a questionnaire and return self-collected nasal and throat swabs for metagenomic analyses.
