【Enhancing surgery efficiency via 3D model printing technology】 In collaboration with the University of Hong Kong, we have piloted the 3D model printing service for our orthopaedic patients. The meticulously-generated 3D bone models help doctors conduct more accurate pre-surgery assessments of patients' conditions and explain surgical procedures to patients with better clarity. Complemented by high-definition 3D CT scan, doctors operate with higher precision, causing smaller wounds and less blood loss. These benefits also contribute to shorter operation time. It is hoped that this technology can be gradually expanded to other specialties at Gleneagles to benefit more patients.
Gleneagles' Director of Dialysis Centre and Honorary Consultant in Nephrology Dr Lo Wai-kei talks about the importance of COVID-19 vaccination to kidney disease patients. In another article, our Clinical Oncologist Dr Roger Ngan shares with readers how high-precision radiotherapy enhances clinical outcomes.
【Open your heart to cope with depression】 Stress is a normal part of life, and it has been especially difficult for all of us in the past two years. During this prolonged pandemic, social distancing has left us feeling lonely and isolated. It is easy to feel depressed when we are cooped up at home for long periods of time. As stress is invisible, it is tempting to overlook or downplay it. Stress, on the other hand can greatly impact the emotional well-being of adults and children, it is thus important for us to learn how to cope with it properly.
Stress affects everyone differently. But how do we know that we are under stress? It can affect a person's mental health in different ways including cognitive, physical, emotional and behavioral changes. Some of the features to look out for might include: having memory problem or poor judgement; noticing rapid heartbeat or feeling fatigued easily; feeling anxious, depressed or moody; becoming socially withdrawn or increasing in the use of alcohol, cigarettes or caffeine to relax, etc. If you experience some of the above symptoms, it might be time to reach out to your family doctor for help in managing stress. 🔎 Click here to learn more about how to cope with stress.
