Follow Your Virtual Trainer (FYVT): a randomised controlled trial protocol of IT-based lifestyle intervention programme to promote physical activity and health among middle-aged Hong Kong Chinese Open
Introduction Hong Kong is a highly urbanised city where many people work long hours. The limited time and lack of professional instruction are the typical barriers to exercise. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of an i…

A171 MINIMAL CHANGES IN URINE MARKERS OF TUBULAR DYSFUNCTION IN CHB PATIENTS RECEIVING TAF COMPARED WITH TDF Open
BACKGROUND: The use of Tenofovir (TDF) for the treatment of CHB results in high rates of viral suppression with no described resistance, but has been associated with small declines in renal function over time. Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), …
