Tirzepatide

Lipedema is a chronic, progressive adipose tissue disorder characterized by disproportionate subcutaneous fat accumulation, pain, edema, and resistance to conventional weight-loss strategies. Although traditionally conceptualized as a disease of adip…

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are used for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and overweight or obesity, but their association with cancer is unclear. PURPOSE: To investigate the risk for obesity-related cancer associa…

OBJECTIVE: This study summarizes the evidence on the clinical effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in adults with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). BACKGROUND: IIH is characterized by elevated intracranial pressu…

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects 32 million people worldwide and is responsible for tens of billions of dollars in healthcare expenditure annually, with costs primarily driven by hospitalizations. HFpEF is notoriously di…

BACKGROUND: Nutritional deficiencies are common among people with obesity, before and during treatment, such as with very-low-calorie diets and metabolic/bariatric surgery. Obesity management medications (OMMs) can reduce appetite and dietary intake,…

Obesity is associated with increased risk of at least 13 adult cancer types and is the second most common cause of cancer (after tobacco) in many populations. Uncertainty about the extent to which intentional weight loss leads to reduced cancer risk…

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder with a considerable healthcare burden. Previously, the 2011 guideline for adult obstructive sleep apnea was largely formulated on the basis of expert opinion and con…

PURPOSE: Approximately one of ten US adults has comorbid obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (COBOSA). Traditionally, sleep medicine management of COBOSA focused on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Recently, tirzepatide (a once-weekly inje…

GLP-1-based drugs are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects more than 60% of patients with T2DM, and the gut microbiome plays a critical rol…

AIMS: There is growing evidence that the GLP-1 system is implicated in alcohol and other substance use disorders, and that GLP-1-based therapies may have therapeutic relevance in alcohol use disorder (AUD). We aimed to determine the impact of GLP-1 b…

Dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists (DACRAs) offer a promising strategy for treating obesity and related metabolic disorders but are limited by aggregation and the short half-lives of native peptides. Here, we report the design of a long-act…

AIM: To evaluate the effects of tirzepatide on physical function in adults with overweight or obesity. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to July 20, 2025 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing once-weekly tir…

: Obesity has a huge impact on global healthcare and economy. Consequently, the pharmaceutical industry has recently introduced novel anti-obesity drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, which can yield remarkable weight reduction in patients, whi…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Little is known about glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) use in multiple sclerosis. We described the frequency and characteristics associated with use. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of NARCOMS Registry…

BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, is highly effective for glycaemic control and weight reduction. However, its real-world cardiovascular adverse ev…

INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a global public health issue, with its effects a particular issue in Kuwait. Advances in pharmaceutical treatment (eg, glucagon-like peptide-1s) offer an effective solution, with the magnitude of weight lost something to cele…
