AI sperm analysis shows potential in reducing suboptimal fertilization outcomes in assisted reproduction

6 hours ago by

A research team from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has developed the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) model that can accurately predict the fertilization potential of spermatozoa – a breakthrough that could reshape fertilization failure diagnosis and assisted reproductive treatments worldwide.

Metformin plus low-to-moderate FODMAP diet improves glycaemic control, BMI and gut microbiota in prediabetes

6 hours ago by

A study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in collaboration with Monash University, Australia, found that combining metformin therapy with a diet containing fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) in individuals with prediabetes resulted in improved glycaemic control and gut microbiome, among other benefits, with greater effects seen with moderate-FODMAP (M-M) compared with low-FODMAP (L-M) regimens.

Mislabelled beta-lactam antibiotic allergy linked to post-TKA joint infection, prompts allergy delabelling service

6 hours ago by

Patients labelled as allergic to penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics face a significantly higher risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) up to 5 years following knee arthroplasty, and should be prioritized for preoperative allergy assessment, researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have found.

CtDNA-guided surveillance catches postoperative CRC recurrences early for curative treatment

16 hours ago by

For patients who have undergone curative resection for nonmetastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), performing circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) methylation analysis during surveillance facilitates earlier detection of recurrences suitable for curative therapy, according to interim data from the phase III FIND trial.

CYP3A5-guided tacrolimus dosing tied to faster achievement of target trough levels in kidney recipients

18 hours ago by

The local ethnic population of kidney transplant recipients in Singapore has a diverse CYP3A5 genotype expression, according to a study. A CYP3A5-guided dosing of tacrolimus may help these patients achieve target trough levels at a faster rate, but it can also put them at greater risk of hyperkalaemia.
