Resilience is the ability to survive and thrive despite significant adversity. Trials of resilience-promoting interventions for university students have shown significant improvements in students' resilience and reductions in depressive and stress symptoms. Therefore, the goal of this study is to examine the feasibility of Resilient Student Training Intervention (ReST) to …
Effects of rTMS Combined With Dual-Task Gait Training on Walking and Cognition After Stroke
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will investigate whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can enhance the effects of dual-task gait training in people with chronic stroke. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either active rTMS or sham rTMS immediately before the same …
Instant Message-delivered Brief Internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) for Post-stroke Depression
Around one third of stroke survivors develop depression at any point of time following the stroke event. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is associated with negative care outcomes including poorer function, longer hospital stays, increased outpatient and inpatient clinic use, and higher mortality rate. In Hong Kong (HK), the prevalence of PSD …
Clinical Trial on Antibiotic-Lock in Tenckhoff Catheter for Relasping and Repeat Peritonitis
Biofilm formation is an important cause of catheter-related infection. In hemodialysis, use of an antibiotic-lock has been proven to be effective to manage such a complication with preservation of the central venous catheter. In peritoneal dialysis, while biofilm has been implicated in relapsing and repeat peritonitis, both of which are …
RCT of Combination Effect of Vibration Treatment and HMB Supplementation on Myosteatosis and NMJ Degeneration
The investigators' pre-clinical study confirms the positive effects of combined treatment (VT + HMB) on reducing fat-to-lean tissue ratio, intramuscular fat infiltration and increasing muscle strength in sarcopenia animal model. The results showed that fat mass could be decreased by ~32%, while histology Oil Red O staining indicated a decrease …
Transurethral Modified En Bloc Resection For Large Bladder Tumours.
Modified en bloc resection is a hybrid technique involving piecemeal resection of the exophytic part of the bladder tumour, followed by en bloc resection of the tumour base. In this study, we shall investigate the efficacy of modified en bloc resection for patients with bladder tumours of ≥3cm in size.
Microfluidic Chip Method Versus Density Gradient Centrifugation Method on Semen Parameters
Infertility affects many couples, with male infertility being a common cause. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an effective treatment, but its success rates are not high. Semen quality can affect IVF outcomes, and the current method used to process semen can damage the sperm and DNA. Scientists are now testing …
Improving Work Ability of Young Adults With Stroke
This project will investigate effects of a novel theory-driven 6-week virtual Personal Resource Building and Inclusive Volunteering Intervention (PVI) on young stroke survivors' work ability, self-efficacy and psychosocial outcomes. It is hypothesised that participants in the intervention group, compared with the control group, will demonstrate the outcomes below at immediately …
ESWL for Distal Ureteric Stone: Supine Versus Prone
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for urinary stone is common and widespread nowadays. Approximately 80% of urinary stones are treated by ESWL. Traditionally distal ureteric stones are treated with ESWL in the prone position. However, as some patients cannot tolerate lying in the prone due to medical illness such as chronic …
