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.
 

運用3D模型打印技術  提升手術效益
港怡醫院與香港大學合作,率先為骨科病人提供3D模型打印服務。透過精確細緻的3D骨骼模型,有助醫生為病人進行更精準的術前評估,並向病人更清晰地解說手術過程;同時配合高解像度3D電腦掃描,協助醫生更精準地施行手術、縮細傷口面積、減少失血,更可縮減手術時間。本院希望陸續將此服務擴展至其他專科,令更多病人受惠。
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judgement; noticing rapid heartbeat or feeling fatigued easily; feeling anxious, depressed or moody; becoming socially withdrawn or increasing in the use of alcohol, cigarettes or caffeine to relax, etc.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.
 
【打開心窗,走出鬱悶】
壓力無處不在,特別這兩年來漫長的抗疫生活,減少聚會以保持社交距離,或會令人感到孤獨和與外隔絕。長時間留在家中,亦容易令人情緒鬱悶,抗疫令平日多姿多彩的生活失色不少。因為壓力是看不見的,亦容易被忽視,但足以影響成年人和兒童的情緒健康,所以一定要學懂正確面對!

面對壓力,每個人表現或應對都會有所不同。但如何判斷自己正在承受壓力?
壓力影響一個人的精神健康,這可以從認知、身體、情緒及行為中反映出來!例如記憶力變差或判斷力減弱;心跳加速或容易疲倦;容易焦慮不安、感到抑鬱或喜怒無常;變得孤僻或增加煙酒、咖啡因等攝取量來放鬆自己。如果出現以上的徵狀,可能已受到壓力問題困擾,應立即諮詢您的家庭醫生。
