Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 24/09/2024
» DEAR DOCTORS: My husband is having an elective surgery soon. It requires full anaesthesia, so he has had a lot of pre-op tests. One of the blood tests showed that his red blood cells are too big. The nurse said it happens when you drink too much. What causes that? Is it dangerous?

Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 19/12/2023
» DEAR DOCTORS: I recently heard on social media about something called sleep inertia. It came up in a conversation about how to get a better night's sleep. Is this real, or was it invented? I often don't feel refreshed when I wake up and wonder if sleep inertia might be why.

A matter of oral health
Kununya Pimolbutr, Published on 07/03/2023
» Saliva plays a fundamental role in maintaining oral health. Besides keeping your mouth moist and clean by washing away any food debris left in your mouth, it also helps with the sense of taste, swallowing and speaking. Saliva is mainly produced and secreted by the three pairs of major salivary glands located just in front of the ears (parotid glands), under the tongue (sublingual glands) and below the jaw (submandibular glands). It helps to re-mineralise and toughen tooth enamel. Saliva also contains bicarbonate which contributes to the neutralisation of acidity in the oral cavity. When the salivary glands do not produce and secrete a sufficient volume of saliva, your oral health will be adversely affected. You may experience mouth dryness or ‘dry mouth’, also known as xerostomia.

Jirayos Chintanadilok, Published on 09/12/2022
» Humans are like other living creatures, requiring daily basic needs such as food, shelter, clothes, and medicine. But one thing that is frequently overlooked is our sleep quality. We spend one-third of our lives sleeping; it is a necessary daily routine that we must follow from birth to death. We slept a lot while we were young. When we grow up, our brain is more aware of our surroundings, so we tend to sleep less.
