A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
INTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex chronic metabolic disease characterized by insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, inflammation, and visceral fat accumulation, leading to complications, such as cardiovascular disease and kidney damage. Eme…
IMPORTANCE: Obesity is a chronic condition with negative consequences for patients, the health care system, and society. The most effective treatment of class II and III obesity is metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS), which is usually considered a last…
Discourse around the usage of weight-loss drugs (semaglutide, GLP-1 agonists, Ozempic, Wegovy) center around how people are precluded from access, a phenomenon understood as stratified biomedicalization. However, this research project finds people re…
The complex bidirectional relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and oral cancer (OC) denotes that metabolic dysfunction and malignancy intersect at molecular, cellular, and systemic levels. This state-of-the-art review analyzes the most recent…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are peptide analogues that are used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. The first medication in this class, exenatide, was approved in 2005, and these medications, specifically semaglutide, have be…
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The prevalence of hepatic steatosis continues to increase worldwide. Hepatic steatosis is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. However, there are limited options for the treatment of…
BACKGROUND: The cardioprotective effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA)-based therapies in nondiabetic individuals with overweight or obesity remain underexplored. This meta-analysis evaluates their impact on cardiovascular eve…
Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), including Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves' disease, represents the most prevalent organ-specific autoimmunity and a major cause of thyroid dysfunction worldwide. Increasingly, AITD coexists with metabolic disorders…
BackgroundAlmost half of the dementia cases are preventable. Semaglutide treats several medical conditions that are risk factors for dementia.ObjectiveWe aim to investigate if semaglutide is associated with a decreased risk of dementia.MethodsWe cond…
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has shown efficacy in managing glycemic control and obesity but its effects on surgical outcomes, particularly in posterior cervical fusion (PCF), are underexplored.…
Internal medicine physicians are frequently responsible for caring for patients with rheumatologic diseases, whether as a primary provider or in collaboration with subspecialists. This article calls attention to 8 studies published in 2024 that shed…
BACKGROUND: Implementation of semaglutide weight loss therapy has been challenging due to drug supply and cost, underscoring a need to identify those who derive the greatest absolute benefit. OBJECTIVES: Allocation of semaglutide was modeled accordin…
PURPOSE: Proteomics was used to study the effect of semaglutide on the expression of renal protein in obese mice, and looking for proteins that could improve the prognosis of Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (KIRC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six…
Metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly known as NASH, represents one of the leading causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. Its high prevalence is driven by insulin resistance, obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is as…
This article summarizes the key literature describing the effects of the pancreatic beta-cell hormone amylin on eating. One of the first described and best investigated effects of amylin on eating is its physiological effect to control meal size by i…
