Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes mellitus has been a public health issues over the decades and continues to constitute clinical management challenges despite the growing research. The cardiovascular risk, and indeed related components of metabolic syndrome continue to confound both research and practice, such that the concept of diabetes self-management (DSM) has remained a subject of research elucidation. However, some success have been achieved in research and practice, including explications of:
- Development: Oxidative stress and role of antioxidants at the molecular level
- Progression: Cardiovascular risk and complications involving molecular and cellular basis
- Management: Preventive medicines such as antiplatelet therapy and DSM
- Monitoring: Role of laboratory medicine
- Translation: applications in accessible and affordable pathology services
Giving cognizance to the above 5-themes, this special issue is inviting articles that provides updates or expands on latest advances in diabetes research and practice. Data on molecular mechanisms or pathophysiology are essential, and articles that expands on molecular science, laboratory medicine, or clinical practice will be very highly welcomed. The following types of articles can be submitted.
- Traditional narrative review of latest advances that follows the SANRA principles
- Systematic review that generates empirical and/or thematic summaries of latest advances
- Original research articles on molecular science, laboratory medicine, or clinical practice
