2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 65-70
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was characterized by hyperglycemia and frequently accompanied by obesity and elevated cardiovascular risk. Incretin hormone-based therapies, especially glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), had demonstrated eff...
2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 55-64
Type 2 diabetes mellitus represented a global metabolic crisis characterized by progressive beta cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, and chronic hyperglycemia. Traditional incretin-based therapies targeting glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptors have dem...
2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 41-54
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder with wide-ranging systemic consequences, including profound effects on oral health. Accumulating evidence demonstrates a bidirectional relationship between diabetes and oral diseases, particularly periodontal...
2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 32-40
Diabetes mellitus is a major global public health challenge and a leading cause of non-traumatic lower-extremity amputations worldwide. The burden of diabetes-related amputation is driven primarily by preventable complications, notably diabetic foot ulcers ar...
2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 28-31
Mobile money platforms have revolutionized financial inclusion in East Africa, enabling millions of previously unbanked individuals to access digital financial services. Platforms such as M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, and Tigo Pesa have facilitated financial tran...
2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 23-27
Cancer continues to pose a significant public health challenge in Eastern Nigeria, where cultural beliefs, traditional practices, and religious interpretations strongly influence perceptions of the disease. Misconceptions about cancer causation, prevention, a...
2026 | IAA Journal of Applied Sciences | Pp. 119-126
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are complex polygenic diseases in which environmental factors act on a susceptible genomic background to drive chronic energy imbalance, insulin resistance and β-cell failure. Although current pharmacotherapies impr...
2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 12-17
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 persisted as a global health challenge affecting approximately 39 million individuals worldwide, with current antiretroviral therapy requiring lifelong adherence while failing to eliminate latent viral reservoirs. CRISPR-Ca...
2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 18-22
Diabetes mellitus remained a leading metabolic disorder characterized by impaired insulin production and secretion due to β-cell dysfunction or loss. Conventional pharmacotherapy alleviates hyperglycemia but does not restore endogenous β-cell mass. The discov...
2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 1-11
Monogenic diabetes mellitus comprised a heterogeneous group of disorders caused by single-gene mutations affecting pancreatic β-cell function or insulin action, accounting for approximately 1--2% of all diabetes cases yet frequently misdiagnosed as type 1 or...
