Thumb Ossification Composite Index (TOCI) to Predict Skeletal Maturity and Curve Progression in AIS
Accurate skeletal maturity assessment is important for prediction of curve progression and clinical management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) including bracing decision and counseling for prognosis. Determination of the timing of peak growth height velocity and growth remaining are paramount important.1,2 Commonly used clinical or radiological methods are still inadequate …
Diagnostic Accuracy of a Panel of Bacterial Gene Markers (M3) for Colorectal Advanced Neoplasia
The investigators aim to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of FIT and the novel panel of bacterial gene markers (Fn, m3, Ch and Bc) collectively named as M3, in detecting colorectal advanced neoplasia.
Prospective Evaluation of Patients With Pleural Effusion
Having a pleural effusion is a common reason for being hospitalized, as it usually requires in-patient care for invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Specific subtypes of pleural effusion may warrant recurrent admissions, a longer hospital stay and consume more healthcare resources. Despite the recent advancement of pleural medicine, better research …

Mother-infant Microbiota Transmission and Its Link to the Health of the Baby
The human intestinal tract harbors a diverse and complex microbial community, known as gut microbiota, which is critical in sustaining physiology, metabolism, nutrition and immune function. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota has been linked with obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, inflammatory bowel disease and other chronic inflammatory diseases. Gut microbiota is affected by …
Slow Heart Registry of Fetal Immune-mediated High Degree Heart Block
Few studies are specifically designed to address health concerns that are already relevant during pregnancy. The consequence is a lack of evidence on best clinical practice. This includes mothers and their babies when pregnancy is complicated by an abnormally slow heart rate due to maternal antibody-mediated heart disease in the …
Distribution of Lymph Node Metastases in Esophageal Carcinoma
Background: Lymph node status is an important prognostic parameter in esophageal carcinoma and an independent predictor of survival. Distribution of metastatic lymph nodes may vary with tumor location, tumor histology, tumor invasion depth and neoadjuvant therapy. Surgical strategy depends on the distribution pattern of nodal metastases but consensus on the …
Prospective Study on Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Hong Kong (PrOSA)
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder with prevalence rates of at least 4% among the middle-aged male Caucasians and Hong Kong (HK) Chinese populations. It is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction, causing intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, disabling daytime sleepiness, impaired cognitive function and poor …
