The 2025 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) showcased advances in understanding neuropsychiatric complications among people with HIV (PWH). This review synthesizes key findings related to central nervous system (CNS) reser…
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating more effective therapeutic strategies. This study was to observe the impact of semaglutide on the C-Peptide levels and glycemic variability. This retrospecti…
PURPOSE: This study comprehensively analyzed the global clinical trials and depicted a landscape for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) therapy. METHODS: Using the Trialtrove database, we collected trial information of 2242 clinical trials. Us…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The "obesity paradox" describes the counterintuitive observation that overweight and mildly obese individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD) may have better outcomes than those with normal weight. This paradox is particularly in…
BACKGROUND: IcoSema is a once-weekly combination therapy of basal insulin icodec (icodec) and semaglutide (a GLP-1 analogue) developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IcoSema versus basal-bolus th…
BACKGROUND: IcoSema is a once‑weekly combination therapy of basal insulin icodec (icodec) and semaglutide (a GLP‑1 analogue) currently in development. COMBINE 1 compared the efficacy and safety of IcoSema with once‑weekly icodec alone in adults with…
OBJECTIVE: Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and diabetes mellitus have significantly higher rates of cardiovascular mortality. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA)-such as tirzepatide and semaglutide-have been shown to d…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has recently been introduced in Japan; however, there are limited studies on its effectiveness in Japanese patients with type 2…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide (the active agent in Ozempic [Novo Nordisk, Plainsboro, NJ, USA]) has been increasingly recognized as one of the most effective medications in the management of type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients with T2DM undergoing o…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To review pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to semaglutide during early pregnancy. METHODS: A retrospective review of an obstetric database at a tertiary obstetric hospital in Brisbane, Australia. RESULTS: Thirteen women w…
BACKGROUND: Nausea is one of the most reported side effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1a). Current recommendations fall short in taming the symptoms, include antiemetic medication, behavior changes, GLP-1a dose adjustment, and often cause a disr…
BACKGROUND: Clinical trials have shown semaglutide effective in mitigating risks associated with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. However, semaglutide's real-world effectiveness and long-term outcomes are not fully established. RESEARCH DE…
Semaglutide (SGL), a long-acting GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide) receptor agonist, is a 31-amino acid peptide modified with a C18 fatty diacid for albumin binding. Peptides are fragile and susceptible to degradation during formulation, storage, and tra…
BACKGROUND: Visual blurring is one of the most common symptoms in ophthalmology, and one of the important causes of secondary visual blurring is drug-related. This study assesses the risk of drug-related visual blurring using a large real-world datab…
Rational adjustment of surface physicochemical properties of inhalable nanocarriers significantly influences their in vivo fate during pulmonary delivery. Among these, surface hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity has been recognized as a critical factor in…
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to characterize changes in body weight and glycated hemoglobin (in those with prediabetes at baseline) through 12 months by obesity pharmacotherapy discontinuation status. METHODS: This retrospective cohort…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Obesity is common in heart failure (HF), worsening quality of life and depressive symptoms. While semaglutide, a GLP-1 agonist, aids weight loss in obese adults, its impact on health and mood in obese HF patients is unclear.…
OBJECTIVE: The aim was to systematically evaluate the effect of semaglutide on blood pressure in obese populations using meta-analysis methods. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials on the effect of semaglutide on blood pressure regulation published…
