External cephalic version was effective in reducing breech presentations at term and corresponding caesarean section rates, but the uptake rate was low. Further work should address the barriers to the low acceptance of external cephalic version. The results of this study could encourage women to opt for external cephalic version.

Our cost-effective in-house genotypic resistance test detected no significant difference in drug resistance-related mutations frequencies between HIV-1 subtype B and CRF01_AE in Hong Kong. A drug resistance-related mutations database for different HIV-1 genotypes should be established in Hong Kong to augment guidance for HIV treatment.

An effective electroencephalogram service was being provided, though abuses were common. These were mainly because of misconceptions regarding the role and limitations of standard electroencephalograms. Through an educative, non-confrontational approach, and with time to explain guideline recommendations to clinicians, sustainable change in practice could be achieved so as to benefit patients, clinicians, and service provision.

The overall superior neutralisation capacity of Agkistrodon halys antivenom over green pit viper antivenom may be related to the geographic proximity of the venoms used for antivenom preparation. The results point towards the need for further comparison of the two antivenoms on protein or immunoglobulin weight basis, and with respect to non-lethal clinically significant toxicities.

Motor neuron disease is an incurable disease, for which a highly effective treatment is still pending. Symptomatic treatment remains the mainstay of management. A multidisciplinary approach embracing advances in non-invasive ventilation and gastrostomy can improve quality of life and extend the survival of motor neuron disease patients.

The conclusion is that we should not exclude patients of advanced age from rehabilitation programmes, based on poor cognitive function and low serum albumin levels as they can achieve similar gains in motor and functional outcomes. A nutritional programme to improve the albumin level of older persons could speed up the rehabilitation progress, rendering it more efficient. A gender-specific rehabilitation programme is needed to improve functional outcome in men and motor outcome in women.

He developed acute onset of right-sided limb weakness and right hemianopia a few hours after arrival at an altitude of 3600 m by train. He was initially treated for high-altitude cerebral oedema but later computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed ischaemic infarcts in the medial left occipital lobe and left thalamus. Subsequent investigations, including laboratory tests and imaging including an echocardiogram, revealed no culpable predisposing factors.

A 39-year-old man presented with scrotal swelling and acute retention of urine. Computed tomography of the pelvis and cystoscopy demonstrated a giant calculus in the proximal penile urethra. Emergency in-situ lithotripsy was performed. Complete stone clearance was achieved and a large urethral diverticulum was encountered. The rare occurrence of urethral diverticulum and associated stone disease were discussed.

The re-emergence of late presentations of fetal haemoglobin Bart's disease after 2003 was related to influx of non-eligible obstetric patients without proper antenatal screening and diagnosis of thalassaemia. Maternal low mean corpuscular volume and characteristic prenatal ultrasound features such as cardiomegaly, placentomegaly, and hydrops fetalis are useful for detecting affected pregnancies in this group of patients. Better education of both patients and doctors is necessary to explain the importance of early diagnosis of the disease and the seriousness of complications due to late presentations, so as to reduce undesirable maternal and perinatal outcomes.

The 8% period prevalence of patients admitted to the intensive care unit undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy was somewhat higher than in recently published reports in the international literature. However intensive care unit and hospital mortality rates for such patients were lower than previously reported. The corresponding total daily cost of relevant disposables was similar to costs reported internationally, whilst the length of intensive care unit stays for our cohort were relatively short.

While medical treatment remains the mainstay of treatment for gouty arthritis of the hand and wrist, 5% of patients may not respond. In this group, surgery is often performed in advanced stages, but yields less-than-satisfactory outcomes. Gouty arthritis is difficult to treat when it starts to cause stiffness and deformities. Although more studies are needed to evaluate the outcomes, the authors suggest that one possible solution is pre-emptive surgery.

In the absence of antiphospholipid antibody or other prothrombotic risk factors, combined hormonal contraception is not contra-indicated in most rheumatological conditions including inactive systemic lupus erythematosus. Moreover, hormone therapy is generally not contra-indicated except for women with active systemic lupus erythematosus disease where its effect on disease flare is less clear and individual judgement is required.

We share our experience in dealing with a case of disseminated haemodialysis-associated amyloidosis in a 74-year-old end-stage renal failure patient. This patient suffered from a serious complication, namely an unprovoked pathological fracture at the basal neck region of the right femur. Polyarticular cystic and lytic lesions over the contralateral proximal femur, bilateral proximal humerus and the right lunate were noted on further imaging. In view of extensive amyloidotic infiltration into the proximal femur as well as the acetabulum, a cemented total hip arthroplasty operation was performed for pa...

It was rediscovered in western medicine and enjoyed a renaissance from 1830 to 1930, as the first effective chemotherapy against syphilis, parasites and leukaemia. These years were also a time of political turmoil in China. The Nanking treaty (29 August 1842) turned Hong Kong into a colony, while the Xinhai Revolution (10 October 1911) gave birth to a republic of China. Arsenic returned to China and Hong Kong with the establishment of the first medical schools from 1887 to 1920. Until 1950, oral arsenic trioxide was the standard anti-leukaemic treatment in Queen Mary Hospital. The advent of alkylating chemotherapeutic agents replaced a...

It has a wide range of presentations ranging from the patient being totally asymptomatic to septic with multi-organ failure. From the literature, in general, cervical anastomoses have a higher leakage rate than those that are intra-thoracic, but leaks from the latter confer greater morbidity. Cervical anastomotic leaks that are truly confined to the neck can be managed conservatively, but can extend into the mediastinum and result in more serious complications. Herein, we report on a patient with an oesophago-gastric anastomosis constructed in the neck but with extension into the mediastinum. Subsequently, the patient developed a fistulous erosion into the tracheobronchial tree, which was succe...

Women with persistent postpartum impaired glucose tolerance after gestational diabetes have a high risk of developing diabetes mellitus. However, a significant proportion of these women regress to normal glucose tolerance 1 year after delivery, and their risk of progression to diabetes mellitus is lower than those with persistent impaired glucose regulation. Therefore, women with a history of gestational diabetes, particularly those with persistent glucose intolerance 6 weeks and 1 year after delivery, should have regular surveillance for the development of diabetes mellitus.

Dementia usually occurs in old age. However, if the symptoms occur in young patients, the diagnosis can be challenging. Posterior cortical atrophy is a variant of the Alzheimer's disease, which is described as a presenile disease affecting relatively late-middle-aged patients. A combination of clinical, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging techniques may facilitate making a diagnosis of this particular patient group, as demonstrated in this report. Although there is no effective disease-modifying agent for treating these patients to date, there may be considerable pressure to arrive at a quick and accurate diagnosis from the perspective of employment a...

Such changes have been necessary, largely as a result of the limitations of traditional clinical teaching when it comes to genuine patient encounters in an emergency situation. The range of simulations now available extends from simple pelvic models to sophisticated computer-based birth simulators. Evidence for the effectiveness of such simulated training is gradually emerging, and in general, transfer of knowledge, improvement of clinical skills and teamwork are all enhanced.

Her serum calcium level was difficult to maintain near the lower limit of normal despite treatment with high-dose calcitriol. Treatment with calcitriol produced significantly elevated urinary calcium-to-creatinine ratio. Direct sequencing of the CaSR gene showed a novel heterozygous mutation (p.Q735P (c.2204A>C)). Molecular genetic analysis of her parents demonstrated that both parents did not harbour the child's mutation, indicating that her mutation had arisen de novo.

A 74-year-old male with oncogenic osteomalacia presented with multiple bone pain. His biochemical markers returned to normal 4 days postoperatively after resection of a second toe giant cell tumour of tendon sheath. A 62-year-old woman with a history of liver problem and proximal muscle weakness was admitted with atraumatic fracture of the left distal humerus due to osteomalacia. An 81-year-old vegetarian woman with inadequate sun exposure complained of multiple bone pains. Subsequent investigation revealed dietary- and sunlight-deficient osteomalacia with multiple bony abnormalities including marked femur bowing.

Following successful augmentation of warfarin to minimise the effect of thrombophilia, he had a recurrence in the right eye and involvement of the left eye 11 days after the initial onset. Further investigation showed a marginal blood lipid profile, which was treated with lipid-lowering agents. A combination of aetiologies was seen in this patient. Other unique factors, such as the short duration to recurrence and involvement of the fellow eye, are discussed.

After radiological and pathological assessments, a diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma was made. The patient died within 2 months of presentation. Not all patients with proptosis have cellulitis. Proptosis, especially unilateral proptosis, should always lead to a radiological scan in case of malignancy.

She was successfully treated with chemotherapy and high cut-off extended haemodialysis. High cut-off haemodialysis is a new treatment modality which can achieve rapid free light chain clearance. This may contribute to a better renal outcome and overall prognosis for patients with multiple myeloma.

He presented with recurrent pneumonia, diarrhoea, weight loss, and visual symptoms. Extensive examination for anaemia and neutropenia was done, yet no conclusive diagnosis could be derived. During his last admission for pneumonia, his history of AB thymoma suggested the possibility of Good syndrome. Immunological testing revealed low T cells, absent B cells, and low immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G levels. Moreover, he had histologically identified cytomegalovirus pneumonia, cytomegalovirus colitis, and fundoscopic features of cytomegalovirus retinitis. He was treated with a 2-week course of intravenous ganciclovir, lifelong oral valganc...
