Unicompartmental knee replacement – An underrated alternative of total knee replacement: A matched comparative study analysing their benefits and risks in local population
ConclusionBecause of less operative risk and faster rehabilitation, this study suggested that unicompartmental knee replacement is more cost effective and might be a better choice for patients with unicompartmental arthritis in local population.中 文 摘 要簡介膝關節置換術的需求跟隨全世界人口老齡化不斷增加。儘管單室膝關節置換術有較少並發症，即中風﹑心肌梗死﹑血栓栓塞﹑輸血和死亡率，它僅佔所有膝關節置換術的 3一8％，這項研究的目標是比較在香港人口的單室膝關節置換術與全膝關節置換術，通過評估的好處和風險...

Why Whole-Fat Milk and Yogurt Are Healthier Than You Think
For years, experts have recommended low-fat dairy products over the full-fat versions, which are higher in calories and contain more saturated fat. Recent research, however, indicates that full-fat dairy may actually be healthier than its reputation suggests, and that people who eat full-fat dairy are not more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than people who consume low-fat dairy. They may even be less likely to gain weight.
Now, new research published Tuesday in The Lancet, adds to that body of evidence.
The research suggests that eating dairy products of all kinds is associated with a lower ri...

SF-6D population norms for the Hong Kong Chinese general population
ConclusionsThe SF-6D utility scores derived from different SF-36 or SF-12 health surveys were different. The population norms based on these three health surveys enable the normative comparisons of health utility scores from specific population or patient groups, and provide estimates of age –gender adjusted health utility scores for health economic evaluations.

Genetic diagnosis of CADASIL in three Hong Kong Chinese patients: A novel mutation within the intracellular domain of NOTCH3
We report here the clinical and molecular findings of three unrelated Hong Kong Chinese families with CADASIL syndrome. Sanger sequencing of genomic DNA revealed a novel heterozygous variant NM_000435.2(NOTCH3):c.[5903_5904insATAA];[5903_5904=] NP_000426.2:p.(Asp1969∗);(Asp1969=) and two previously reported heterozygous mutations NM_000435.2(NOTCH3):c.[328C>T];[328C=] NP_000426.2:p.[(Arg110Cys)];[(Arg110=)] and NM_000435.2(NOTCH3):c.[580T>A];[580T=] NP_000426.2:p.(Cys194Ser);(Cys194=) in the three families respectively. Molecular basis of CADASIL in these three patients were further established. Genetic analysis provides...

Antiplatelet Treatment After Transient Ischemic Attack and Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Cerebral Microbleeds in 2 Large Cohorts and an Updated Systematic Review Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—In patients with transient ischemic attack/ischemic stroke, microbleed burden predicts intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and ischemic stroke, but implications for antiplatelet treatment are uncertain. Previous cohort studies have had insufficient follow-up to assess the time course of risks, have not stratified risks by antithrombotic use, and have not reported extracranial bleeds or functional outcome of ICH versus ischemic stroke.Methods—In 2 independent prospective cohorts with transient ischemic attack/ischemic stroke (Oxford Vascular Study/mainly white; University of Hong Kong/mainly Chinese),...
