Pig-to-human liver transplantation promises cure for hepatic diseases

10 Mar 2026 by

A genetically engineered pig liver has been successfully transplanted in a living human, according to a recent study, noting the challenge posed by postoperative xenotransplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (xTMA) to long-term success.

Is auto-titrating noninferior to fixed CPAP for OHS with severe OSA?

10 Mar 2026

A recent study has shown the comparable effectiveness of fixed (fCPAP) and auto-titrating continuous positive airway pressure (APAP), with some outcomes favouring fCPAP, in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and severe obstructive sleep apnoea (sOSA).

Gait speed an early marker of covert CSVD?

10 Mar 2026 by

A cross-sectional analysis presented at ISC 2026 suggests that a decline in mobility is an earlier functional manifestation of covert cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) than cognitive impairment.

HZ and stroke risk: Implications for zoster vaccination

10 Mar 2026 by

In an interview with MIMS Doctor, Dr Kay-Cheong Teo, Specialist in Neurology, and Dr Anthony Tam, Specialist in Infectious Disease, both from the University of Hong Kong, discussed the intricate herpes zoster (HZ)–stroke relationship. They also highlighted how recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV), with its high efficacy and favourable safety profile, can play a significant role in preventing HZ, mitigating varicella zoster virus (VZV)–related sequelae such as debilitating post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), and potentially reducing stroke risk, as demonstrated by recent cohort studies.

Nifedipine as good as labetalol for managing hypertension during pregnancy

10 Mar 2026 by

Treatment with either nifedipine or labetalol is equally effective in controlling blood pressure (BP) among women with hypertension during pregnancy, with no adverse effects on perinatal outcomes, according to the Giant PANDA* trial presented at SMFM 2026.

Finerenone shows promise for restoring fertility in premature ovarian insufficiency

10 Mar 2026 by

In patients with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), finerenone, a drug approved for slowing progressive kidney function decline associated with type 2 diabetes, can promote the development of follicles into mature oocytes yielding viable embryos, according to breakthrough findings by researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU).

Lower 30-day reoperation rate with robotic arm–assisted total hip arthroplasty

10 Mar 2026 by

Utilization of robotic arm–assisted primary total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) nearly doubled between 2019 and 2024 in public hospitals under the Hong Kong West Cluster (HKWC), and was associated with lower 30- and 90-day reoperation rates vs conventional THA (cTHA), researchers from the University of Hong Kong and Queen Mary Hospital have found.

Meta-analyses of global GLP-1 RA studies highlight safety and new potential role of GLP-1 RAs

10 Mar 2026 by

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) use in patients with diabetes or heart diseases is not associated with increased risk of optic nerve or vision-threatening events, and plays a role in improving the long-term success rate of curative catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) in cardiac patients with obesity, researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have found.
