Psychiatric morbidity among SARS and COVID-19 survivors at 30 months post-infection.
East Asian Arch Psychiatry
December 2024
Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and COVID-19 are both highly infectious diseases that cause severe respiratory illness. This study aimed to compare survivors of SARS and COVID-19 and identify factors associated with long-term psychiatric comorbidities.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of adult Chinese survivors of SARS and COVID-19 who had been admitted to the United Christian Hospital, Hong Kong.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the use of MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) for prostate cancer patients who had undergone surgery, focusing on its clinical outcomes and patient tolerability.
- A total of 30 patients received adaptive MRgRT and were monitored for progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse events over an average follow-up period of around 32 months.
- The results indicated high PFS rates (96.4% at 2 years, 78.8% at 3 years) and low rates of significant side effects, suggesting MRgRT is effective and well-tolerated in this patient group.
Small-Molecule Benzo-Phenoselenazine Derivatives for Multi-Subcellular Biomolecule Profiling.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
November 2024
Elucidating the subcellular localization of RNAs and proteins is fundamental to understanding their biological functions. Genetically encoded proteins/enzymes provide an attractive approach to target many proteins of interest, but are limited to specific cell lines. Although small-molecule-based methods have been explored, a comprehensive system for profiling multiple locations in living cells, comparable to fusion-protein techniques, is yet to be established.

Psychiatry Res Neuroimaging
October 2023
The current study compared the reliability of manual collateral sulcus depth and entorhinal and transentorhinal cortical volume measurements between native oriented MRI scans versus MRI scans realigned to the hippocampal long axis. Data included 10 participants with two serial 3.0T MRI scans from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.

- The study updated asthma and wheezing data for children in Hong Kong, comparing it to results from earlier ISAAC studies conducted in the mid-1990s and early 2000s.
- Data was collected from over 2,000 children aged 6-7 and 13-14 between September 2020 and August 2021, using standardized protocols to analyze sex differences and risk factors for asthma severity.
- Results showed a decrease in asthma prevalence and severity since the previous studies, with follow-up research planned to delve into protective and risk factors contributing to these changes.
