Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a monogenic disorder leading to pulmonary disease, pancreatic insufficiency and cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are now being investigated in people with cystic fib…
Tirzepatide, a dual agonist for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, has shown robust efficacy in treating diabetes and obesity, and in obese patients with heart failure with preserved ejec…
INTRODUCTION: Water fasting involves completely abstaining from all caloric intake. Multiple studies have demonstrated that water fasting for up to 21 days is well-tolerated, but none focused on patients with severe obesity (body mass index ≥ 40) or…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is increasingly recognized as a critical modifier of outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), predisposing patients to subclinical leaflet thrombosis (SLT), hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT), and p…
Despite the cardiometabolic benefit of semaglutide, its impact on quality of life and whether patients' characteristics influence clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remain ambiguous.A retrospective review of patient charts w…
Marine macroalgae are increasingly recognized as sources of bioactive compounds with potential benefits for metabolic health. This study investigated the chemical composition and metabolic effects of a 70% ethanol extract of the edible red algain a h…
Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, introduces a mechanistically distinct approach within incretin-based therapies. While its efficacy is established, real-world…
BACKGROUND: Diabetes-associated cognitive decline (DACD) is gradually gaining attention as a major complication of diabetes. However, to date, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying DACD have not been thoroughly characterized. METHODS: Db/db an…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are approved to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), yet their use in an OSA population has not been characterized. This study evaluates GLP-1 RA use in patients presenting to a sleep s…
