Other selected research projects

Retrospective evaluation of natural history and morbidities in subclinical hyperthyroidism at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The findings presented at Endo 2011 conference, 2011 and published in 2014 (Ann Acad Med Singapore 2014; 43:506-10)

Study evaluating the reproducibility of cortisol day curve (CDC) in patients on hydrocortisone replacement at Christie hospital. The reproducibility was acceptable when it was repeated in a week's time under similar conditions. This study was published as an abstract in Annual BES conference, 2004.




Submitted thesis on Serological diagnosis of tuberculosis to Dr. M G R, Medical University, Madras, India (1995) while doing my postgraduate training in India. In this study, I evaluated the usefulness of microdot test to detect the antibody directed against Mycobacterial antigen, Lipo-Arabino- Mannan (LAM) for diagnosing tuberculosis, both pulmonary and extra pulmonary cases.
