2023年11月23日 · 中大醫學院進行了亞洲最大型、針對「長新冠」的研究，發現超過 70％ 患者於確診 5 個月後仍出現至少一種「長新冠」症狀，以記憶力減退、集中力下降、思考緩慢、情緒低落及睡眠時間不規律等認知功能和心理徵狀最為常見。 研究團隊亦推算全港可能有約 42 萬名患者受到與生殖系統有關的「長新冠」徵狀（下體疼痛、性功能障礙及月經失調等）影響. 浸大中醫抗疫遠程醫療中心，針對第五波疫情患者進行研究，發現 55% 患者在感染後6－12個月內仍有至少一種「長新冠」症狀，以疲倦、腦霧、咳嗽最為常見；研究亦發現，中年人士、女性、肥胖的長期病患者特別容易出現「長新冠」症狀.
- 香港大學（港大）微生物學系團隊於 2022 年 2 月發表研究報告表示，倉鼠受到中等份量的新冠病毒 （SARS-CoV-2）感染後，出現急性睪丸損傷、慢性睪丸萎縮及血清內的睪丸酮下降。研究結果顯示，男性感染新冠病毒可能會造成性腺機能減退和生育能力下降，患者康復後仍會受到影響。
- 新冠病毒除了會影響肺部，亦會對心臟、膀胱及腦部等重要器官造成破壞。對於某些康復者，器官受損會導致長期呼吸困難、心臟疾病、慢性膀胱衰竭、中風、吉巴氏綜合症等長期併發症。
- 「腦霧」並非正式醫療用語，通常用作形容反應遲緩、思想模糊等情況。關於新冠肺炎與「腦霧」的相關性，不少醫學機構均認為兩者有關，根據哈佛大學醫學院博客，一名於 2020 年春天已痊癒的新冠病人報稱於一年後，其思考能力及記憶年仍未回復正常。博客建議「腦霧」患者可多做有氧運動、養成良好睡眠習慣、減少服...
- 中大醫學院研究顯示，新冠病毒患者入院時的腸道微生態失衡狀況是導致日後出現「長新冠」的主要因素。研究團隊發現，「長新冠」患者的腸道微生態異常，「好菌」明顯較少，而「惡菌」則較多。相反，沒有後遺症的人士的腸道微生態則較豐富及多樣化，與從未染疫人士相似。

2023年2月20日 · 作者 Bowtie 醫療資訊團隊. 日期 2023-02-20. 更新 2024-04-30. 甚麼是高密度膽固醇？ 高密度脂蛋白膽固醇（英文︰High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol，簡稱高密度膽固醇或HDL） 可吸收血液中多餘的膽固醇，並將其帶往肝臟進行分解，最後從體內排走。 研究指，較高水平的高密度膽固醇能降低 心臟病 風險。 而高密度膽固醇水平也是血脂檢測的其中一個指標。 高密度膽固醇的正常值是多少？ 高密度膽固醇過低的10個原因. 以下因素都會導致體內的高密度膽固醇水平過低： 肥胖. 久坐不動的生活方式. 發炎. 吸煙. 過量飲酒. 服用一些激素類藥物，如口服避孕藥中的睾酮、孕激素等。 患上二型糖尿病；胰島素阻抗也會導致脂肪結構發生特徵性變化.
2021年9月9日 · 當「弦線」（足底筋膜）上的拉力過大的話，就可能會引起微小撕裂，造成病變。. 因此，足底筋膜炎通常是指足部因長期負荷過重，使筋膜連接腳踭位置被不斷拉扯，岀現勞損，因而產生發炎疼痛症狀。. 足底筋膜炎很多時是引致腳踭痛的主要原因。. 患者通常 ...
- 大部分尋求治療的病人都很擔心骨刺這個詞語，其實骨刺正確指骨質增生，隨著部位受力過多和退化，部位骨頭便會增厚，打個比喻就像我們生白頭髮一樣，是個正常的生理現象。只要骨頭沒有壓迫到神經或周邊正常組織，並不會有症狀。而且大部分沒有足底筋膜炎的市民都會長有腳底骨刺，所以兩者間並沒有直接的關係。
- 由於現時研究發現足底筋膜炎偏向退化問題，物理治療亦提出了Loading Management的概念去舒緩筋膜退化問題。若運動時穿著避震效果較差的平底鞋，對足底筋膜的壓力（Loading）便會大大增加。因此若進行有一定強度的活動時，例如行山，平底鞋並不是一個好選擇。
- 鞋墊是其中一個Loading Management常見的方法。若果病人本身患有結構性力學問題，譬如扁平足，鞋墊能有效改善避震，減少足底筋膜的壓力，鞋墊絕對有助舒緩筋膜炎。但若病人是因為小腿過緊或肌肉無法啟動等問題比較大時，鞋墊就未必能有效針對問題。
- 若果痛症嚴重，物理治療等第一線治療無效果的話，醫生或會考慮局部注射類固醇止痛，但重複注射會令軟組織變弱，若導致筋膜斷裂，或會形成後天扁平足。而手術切除部分受傷筋膜的方法雖有但不常見。

A significant share of our customers heard of us on the news (19%), and found us from Google search (20%). Our first product launch was around the time the Hong Kong SAR government officially unveiled the Volunteer Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS). This garnered significant coverage from local and international media. Collaborating with one of our mo...
More than half of the interviewed customers were first-time buyers of medical insurance. This speaks to Bowtie’s ease-of-use. With little to no experience buying medical insurance, customers were still able to complete the online underwriting process. Of the customers who had purchased insurance before, one-third are buying Bowtie products for thei...
More than 40% of the interviewed customers have existing group medical insurance from their employer. They purchase additional products from us to “top-up” their protection. “Topping-up” your protection is important, because often our customers find their employers’ provided medical benefits inadequate. Among our customers, teachers, civil servants...
Our customers are diligent. 90% of the interviewed customers did their homework by comparing us with other well-known insurance brands. Most of them rely on the many free online comparison tools like MoneyHero, MoneySmart and the government issued VHIS Plan Search Engine. A few read about us in the Consumer Council’s Choice Magazine. Unlike most in...
The interviewed customers are a price sensitive crowd. I spoke with customers who even remembered how many dollars our monthly premiums were cheaper than other comparable products. Half of them mention price as the motivation to pick a virtual insurer. Bowtie has the lowest VHIS premiums for both men and women aged 0 – 75 years old. These cost savi...
Many of our interviewed customers took the time to dig into our company’s history. They were curious about how my co-founder and I started a company in an industry with so many entrenched players. It does read a little bit like David versus Goliath. When they realized that John Tsang shares and supports our mission, our customers were positively su...
Our biggest breakthrough has been dramatically reducing the time it takes to submit an application for underwriting. Nearly half of our customers completed applications in one take, doing so in between 10 – 15 minutes. That’s an amazing accomplishment compared to conventional channels. We invested significant effort in building an experience that’s...
Although we have a dedicated team of healthcare and customer service professionals ready to help, we haven’t done enough to alert users to their existence. We are proud of the fact that 60% of customers completed their applications without any human support. However, it’s equally important to us to be there to help when our customers need us. 40% o...
Many of the interviewed customers want more products. They are interested in products like critical illness coverage, cancer protection, and life insurance coverage. We’ve taken this feedback close to heart, and recently launched our cancer product and an outpatient service that improves the experience of going to the doctor. Life insurance and cri...
36% of the interviewed customers have already referred us to family, friends or colleagues. 33% of them plan to recommend Bowtie if asked. We’re excited by stories of young parents trusting us with their whole family’s insurance. In one case, one of them bought 10 policies for the whole family. Other customers want to wait and see how we handle the...
2022年10月11日 · 分享. 近年來，愈來愈多研究說明使用傳統癌症指數並不準確，往往會造成「假陽性」效果，醫學界開始使用更有效追蹤癌症治療成效的新指標。 為何傳統癌症指數不夠準確？ 指數上升不代表有癌症. 不同的腫瘤標記可對應不同種類的癌症監察，你可能聽過的腫瘤標記包括： 癌胚抗原指數（Carcinoembryonic Antigen，CEA）：用作監察肺癌、胃癌、大腸癌、卵巢癌、乳癌等. 甲胎蛋白指數（Alpha-fetoprotein, AFP）：用作監察肝癌、 睪丸癌 、卵巢癌等. 癌抗原125（Cancer Antigen 125, CA 125）：用作監察卵巢癌、前列腺癌、乳癌、肺腺癌等. 癌症指數能反映癌細胞有關的蛋白質濃度，但相關蛋白質在正常人體亦會在其他身體狀況影響下產生，從而影響癌症指數。
