Obesity medications are recommended in England with legislation necessitating their availability. However, given the number of people who meet clinically approved eligibility criteria, funding these medications and associated support services may lim…
OBJECTIVES: To analyze published cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs) for the 15 drugs selected for the Initial Price Applicability Year 2027 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. METHODS: We identified CEAs for the 15 drugs from the Tufts…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes and obesity, has recently been linked to rare ocular adverse events, including non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Given the growing concern…
BACKGROUND: Non-invasive tests (NITs) are not currently approved as biomarkers of treatment response for patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). AIM: This retrospective study explored a panel of NITs for assessing respo…
BACKGROUND: Recent evidence has raised concerns about potential pro-oncogenic effects associated with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, particularly regarding gastrointestinal mal…
Obesity remains a critical global health challenge, with rising prevalence and a substantial cardiometabolic and psychosocial burden. Recent therapeutic advances, particularly in incretin-based strategies, underscore the need for a comprehensive char…
BACKGROUND: Large consortia link variants in SLC22A1 , SLC47A1 , and GLP1R to antidiabetic response, yet few data confirm these effects in small real-world cohorts. We tested whether three common polymorphisms translate into measurable 3-month metabo…
AIMS: Emerging data suggest more young women than men are prescribed weight loss pharmacotherapies targeting the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R). However, preclinical literature has largely used male animals to characterize the neural mecha…
BACKGROUND: The expanding clinical use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) for type 2 diabetes and obesity has raised concerns about underrecognized ocular adverse events (AEs). Despite their metabolic benefits, fragmented eviden…
This article responds to Ryan's and Savulescu's claim that semaglutide enhances autonomy by reducing problematic desires. Drawing on Frankfurt's hierarchical model of autonomy, this article argues that pharmacological alignment between first-order an…
OBJECTIVE: The authors evaluated whether glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs) improve outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) a…
OBJECTIVES: This study estimated initial price offers for the 15 drugs selected for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program in the Initial Price Applicability Year 2027. METHODS: We applied the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services guidance…
AIMS: This study aimed to compare the effects of tirzepatide, semaglutide, and liraglutide on body weight and metabolic risk markers over 12 months in people with body mass index ≥27 kg/mand type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS: This real-world study inclu…
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…
