A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent liver disease worldwide, primarily driven by the rising prevalence of both obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Historically, treatment options for patient…
AIMS: This article aims to summarize the role of compounded incretin mimetics in clinical practice and in the context of drug shortages. METHODS: The Endocrine and Metabolism Practice and Research Network, a focused group of the American College of C…
The new European clinical practice guidelines from three scientific societies (European Association for the Study of the Liver, European Association for the Study of Diabetes and European Association for the Study of Obesity) on the management of met…
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurological condition marked by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) with no evident secondary cause, primarily affecting obese females of childbearing age. While acetazolamide is the stand…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are commonly prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the potential connection between GLP-1 RAs and the risk of pancreatitis presents a complex and nuanced issue…

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia with societal and economic burdens. While recent therapies offer disease-modifying potential, concerns remain about efficacy and safety. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GL…
RATIONALE: Obesity is a complex chronic condition linked to various comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia, with a significant global burden. Standard treatments, such as diet, exercise and behavioural changes, often have li…
The global obesity epidemic and its associated metabolic syndrome highlight the urgent need for new weight-loss therapies that provide high efficacy and patient compliance. Herein, we propose a novel, noninvasive approach using an orally administered…
BACKGROUND: Many patients seek body contouring surgery (BCS) to address excess skin following significant weight loss (WL), including from GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide. Optimal BCS timing is crucial, as postoperative weight fluctuation…
BACKGROUND: Oral semaglutide at a dose of 25 mg may provide an alternative treatment option to injectable semaglutide (2.4 mg) and higher-dose oral semaglutide (50 mg) for persons with overweight or obesity. METHODS: In a 71-week, double-blind, rando…
INTRODUCTION: We examined the clinical factors associated with a decrease in weight induced by weekly semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: Patients with T2DM who visited the Diabetes Care Center of Jinnouchi Hospital…
The cost effectiveness of pharmacotherapies for obesity (such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, and newer agents) is increasingly being appraised by health technology assessment (HTA) bodies. Modelling is required to extrapolate weight change…
Alectinib is a second-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has been widely used as first-line (1L) treatment of advancednon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ever since its approved indication on November 17,…
