Future of Colorectal Cancer Surgery
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK and Ireland, it is the second commonest cancer in both men and women. Very often the diagnosis is made by either endoscopy/colonoscopy and the surgical treatment is carried out by a minimally invasive approach ("Keyhole"surgery). Tissue samples gathered by …
Childhood Allergy and the Neonatal Environment
The purpose of this research study is to study the relationship between childhood asthma, allergies, and early-life environmental factors that may cause childhood asthma and allergies. Previous birth cohort studies have found early-life environmental factors such as allergies, pollutants, viruses and bacteria have all contributed to the development of asthma …
Inflammation and Cardiovascular Health in Women
Systemic immune activation and inflammation are believed to play a significant role in the development and clinical course of myocardial infarction (MI). Among women with HIV (WHIV), heightened systemic immune activation and inflammation persist, even when HIV infection is well-treated with contemporary antiretroviral therapeutic regimens. Moreover, WHIV in high-resource regions …

A Pilot Study to Explore the Role of Gut Flora in Gout
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
NAFLD in HIV-infected Patients
The prevalence of NAFLD (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) in HIV-infected patients is higher than that in general population, but the causes of morbidity and pathogenesis have not been fully explored. The investigators are planning to consecutively enroll 400 cases HIV-positive outpatients, and to detect NAFLD by ultrasound. The fecal and …

This is a prospective observational study to assess preoperative temperament in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, gather demographic data, intraoperative data regarding surgical …
Evaluation of the Cell Detachment Ratio on pH-responsive Chitosan as a Prognostic Factor in Lung Cancer
Biomaterial-based cell culture models have been gaining increasing attention as potential therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this project is to evaluate whether the cell detachment ratio on pH-responsive chitosan could be correlated with the overall survival in lung cancer patients. Through controllable cell-material interaction, this project has the intention to …
