Steroid therapy remains a cornerstone in managing inflammatory pain associated with chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, gout, and psoriatic arthritis. While glucocorticoids provide rapid symptomatic relief, their use...
2026 | NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND PHARMACY (NIJPP) | Pp. 45-50
Oxidative stress represents a pivotal biochemical imbalance that underlies the pathophysiology of diverse diseases, ranging from infectious conditions such as malaria to chronic metabolic disorders including diabetes mellitus, obesity, and cardiovascular dise...
2026 | NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES (NIJCRHSS) | Pp. 21-28
Teacher wellbeing and burnout have emerged as critical concerns within contemporary education systems, with significant implications for teacher retention, instructional quality, and student outcomes. This paper examines the organizational drivers that contri...
2026 | NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT ISSUES IN ARTS AND MANAGEMENT (NIJCIAM) | Pp. 1-9
Online radicalization is a complex, multi-stage process in which individuals adopt extremist ideologies through digital channels, often reinforced by social network dynamics and algorithmically curated content. Unlike offline radicalization, online pathways a...
2026 | NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND PHARMACY (NIJPP) | Pp. 36-44
Obesity with type 2 diabetes (“diabesity”) arises when chronic caloric excess, low diet quality, and circadian misalignment overwhelm metabolic flexibility. Nutrition is therefore both cause and cure. Evidence across mechanistic studies and randomized trials...
2026 | NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND PHARMACY (NIJPP) | Pp. 117-122
Systemic inflammatory disorders such as malaria, diabetes, and arthritis have long been recognized for their multiorgan effects, yet their impact on the central nervous system (CNS) remains an expanding area of research. Chronic inflammation and oxidative str...
2026 | NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND PHARMACY (NIJPP) | Pp. 107-116
Adipose tissue and the brain are linked by dense neuroendocrine circuits that continuously coordinate appetite, energy expenditure, thermogenesis and glucose–lipid handling. This bidirectional “brain–fat axis” uses sympathetic and sensory nerves, together wit...
2026 | NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES (NIJRMS) | Pp. 118-123
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a critical feature of both obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), contributing to metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and impaired energy metabolism. The mitochondria, being central to cellular energy...
2026 | NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES (NIJRMS) | Pp. 109-1117
Obesity and its associated metabolic disorders arise from complex, tissue-specific disturbances in adipose biology, liver and vascular function, pancreatic islet health and systemic inflammation. Conventional diagnostics and pharmacotherapy treat these facets...
