Obstetricians and Gynecologists | O & G | in Johor (2020 edition)

By
Image
Gynaecology or gynecology is the medical practice dealing with the health of the female reproductive systems (vagina, uterus and ovaries), breasts and pregnancy related management. Literally, outside medicine, it means "the science of women". Almost all modern gynaecologists are also obstetricians and therefore the term obstetricians & gynecologists or O&G or OBGYN in short. In many areas, the specialties of gynaecology and obstetrics overlap. What's the difference between obstetricians and gynaecologists? Most gynaes are qualified with a post-graduate qualification in O&G i.e. MRCOG or Master of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Therefore, they are trained both in obstetrics as well as gynaecology. An obstetrician specialises in pregnancy related aspects of women's health whereas a gynae specialised in the 'non-pregnancy' related aspects. Next, you may also need to understand that there are 4 primary subspecialties in ob/gyn: 1) maternal fetal medi...

10 Best NMN Supplements (2026 Review)

By
Image
On September 29, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reversed its previous stance and confirmed that nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can be legally sold as a dietary supplement in the United States . This decision follows a period of regulatory uncertainty and effectively restores NMN's legal status as a supplement. NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. As per MRFR analysis , the Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Market Size was estimated at 3.51(USD Billion) in 2024. The Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotid...

Sleep, Longevity & Disease Risk: What the Evidence Really Shows (2026)

By Dr Frank Yap, MD
Image
Executive Summary Sleep is not a passive state — it is a biological repair system that influences metabolism, immune function, brain health, and lifespan. Large‑scale population data now show that chronic short sleep is independently associated with shorter life expectancy, rivaling smoking and obesity as a longevity risk factor. This article integrates epidemiological data, mechanistic biology, and clinical implications into a single evidence‑based framework. Why Sleep Is a Longevity Pillar Sleep regulates: Hormonal balance (insulin, cortisol, growth hormone) Immune surveillance and inflammation Brain waste clearance (glymphatic system) Cellular repair and mitochondrial function When sleep is consistently insufficient or fragmented, these systems deteriorate in parallel — accelerating biological aging. Population‑Level Evidence: Sleep and Life Expectancy County‑Level Data Across the United States A major epidemiological analysis published in Sleep Advances  (2025) examined sleep ...

A comprehensive, peer-reviewed synthesis of preclinical and clinical evidence for H₂ therapy across 20 disease categories — 2026 Update Published: June 2026 Last Reviewed: June 2026   2026 Update References: 160+ citations Category: Integrative Medicine | Antioxidant Therapy Reading Time: ~18 min Peer-Reviewed Format Abstract Molecular hydrogen (H₂) has emerged over the past two decades as a uniquely versatile therapeutic agent, distinguished by its ability to selectively scavenge cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) while crossing all biological barriers, including the blood-brain barrier. Since the landmark 2007 Nature Medicine publication, more than 5,000 papers and over 100 registered clinical trials have examined H₂ across conditions spanning neurodegeneration, cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory disorders, and respiratory illness.

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide

By
Image
As of May 2024, there are more than 4,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to ex...

Joint discomfort that worsens over time is frequently a marker of osteoarthritis in the elderly. It can affect one joint or many. What ingredients are good for pain and inflammation? Despite the fact that they are all intended to ease pain, different products use different ingredients. – Co...

Zinc Gluconate vs Zinc Picolinate: What's the Difference?

By
Image
Zinc picolinate and zinc gluconate are forms of dietary supplements that we use to prevent zinc deficiency.  Zinc  is an essential mineral that our body can easily absorb. Therefore, if we do not get enough amount of zinc, we may have to take these dietary supplements as directed by the doctor. When choosing a zinc supplement, it’s important to consider the type of zinc, dosage, and supplement form. Types of Zinc Supplements   There are several types of zinc supplements. Supplements contain several forms of zinc, including zinc gluconate, zinc citrate and zinc picolinate. The percentage of elemental zinc varies by form.  Chelated zinc is a general form of supplementary zinc in which the zinc is chelated — or bound — to a compound to make it easier for the body to absorb. Zinc picolinate or zinc gluconate are formed when zinc is chelated to picolinic acid or glucon...

Beyond the Standard Lipid Panel: Apolipoprotein B, Lipoprotein(a), and the Mechanisms of Plaque Stabilization (2026)

By
Image
A standard lipid panel measures Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C). However, measuring the total mass of cholesterol inside those particles frequently miscalculates actual cardiovascular event risk. To accurately assess and mitigate cardiovascular disease, modern longevity medicine tracks particle concentration, genetic risk variants, and the molecular factors that drive endothelial plaque stabilization. 1. Defining the Core Biomarkers and Their Deficiencies Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) Apolipoprotein B is the mandatory structural protein found on the surface of every single potentially plaque-forming lipoprotein particle, including Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL), Very-Low-Density Lipoproteins (VLDL), and Intermediate-Density Lipoproteins (IDL). Because there is exactly one ApoB molecule per particle, measuring ApoB gives an absolute count of the total number of atherogenic particles in circulation. The Inadequacy of LDL-C: In ...
