2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH | Pp. 133-137
Arthritis, encompassing a spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders including osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and other inflammatory conditions, is increasingly recognized as a significant public health challenge in West Africa. Despite its rising...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF APPLIED SCIENCES | Pp. 10-20
Malaria remains a global health burden, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where rising drug resistance and treatment costs necessitate alternative therapeutic strategies. Medicinal plants, long central to traditional medicine, represent a valuable reservoir...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF APPLIED SCIENCES | Pp. 95-100
Malaria remains one of the world’s most devastating infectious diseases, caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted through Anopheles mosquitoes. Despite global efforts to reduce its burden, resistance to existing antimalarial drugs threatens to reverse progr...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH | Pp. 29-34
Metabolic and endocrine disorders share a set of conserved pathogenic circuits in which oxidative stress and immune dysregulation are tightly intertwined. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), diabetes mellitus, and reproductive hormone imbalance provide comple...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 153-161
Obesity-associated diabetes, often referred to as diabesity, is a rapidly growing global health challenge characterized by impaired glucose homeostasis, insulin resistance, and progressive mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are central regulators of ener...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 145-152
Early detection of cancer significantly improves therapeutic outcomes, enhances patient survival rates, and reduces treatment costs. However, conventional diagnostic tools often lack the sensitivity and specificity required to detect tumors at their incipient...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 137-144
The global rise of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), collectively referred to as diabesity, represents one of the most pressing health challenges of the twenty-first century. These intertwined metabolic disorders share common pathophysiological fea...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 132-136
Transport networks such as roads and highways are essential for economic growth and connectivity, yet their unintended ecological consequences can exacerbate malaria transmission dynamics. This review explores the multifaceted role of road construction and ma...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 120-131
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) constitute two of the most pervasive and interconnected metabolic disorders worldwide. Characterized by insulin resistance and dysregulated lipid metabolism, these conditions contribute to cardiovascular disease, he...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 109-119
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are tightly interlinked metabolic disorders characterized by insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation, and dysregulated energy homeostasis. Together they form a convergent pathophysiological entity often t...
