Mycoplasma Genitalium Infection and Associated Antimicrobial Resistance Among HIV-infected Male in Hong Kong
Worldwide, Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is increasingly reported as an emerging cause of sexually transmitted infections. Internationally, the prevalence of MG is higher in male with urethritis and community groups especially among people living with HIV (PLHIV). While MG is treatable, antimicrobial resistance is a rising concern. This cross-sectional study aims …
AI-Powered Scoliosis Auto-Analysis System Multicenter Development and Validations
The investigators aim to use artificial intelligence (AI) to help clinicians in diagnosing and assessing spinal deformities.
Determining Best Indications for Bracing for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
This is a prospective study for Investigating the cost-effectiveness of current bracing protocols for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It is hypothesized that aggressive management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) including early bracing at mild curve magnitudes and surgery at 40 degrees is more cost-effective while maintaining similar health quality of …
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, …
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 …
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. …
Hong Kong Spinocerebellar Ataxias Registry
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) 1, 2, 3 and 6 are the most common, autosomal dominantly inherited cerebellar degenerations. And in the Chinese population, the most common SCA is SCA3 and the frequency of SCA 3 among SCA patients is 72.5%, followed by SCA 2 that the frequency is 12% among SCA …
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 …
Conscious Movement Processing, Postural Stability and Muscle Efficiency in Older Adults
This study aims to address critical knowledge gaps by investigating the effects of trait conscious movement processing propensity on real-time (state) conscious movement processing propensity, postural stability, and muscle efficiency in older adults at risk of falling in Hong Kong with high and low trait conscious movement processing propensities, while …
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 …
