Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are at the forefront of treating the global health crisis of diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity. However, the demand for GLP-1 RAs has far outstripped its supply and comes with a high monthly cost…
We briefly summarizes the mechanism of GLP-1RA therapy in HO both in rodents and in humans. We also summarized the clinical trials and case reports of GLP-1RA therapy in HO, especially the more and more often used semaglutide. We are hoping the thera…
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It imposes an enormous symptomatic burden on patients, leaving many with residual disease despite optimal procedural therapy and up to one-thirds with debilitating angina am…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide is a medication for weight loss in obese patients. Recently, many plastic surgeons have recommended semaglutide following bariatric surgery to increase weight loss. However, postoperative complications such as wound dehiscence…
OBJECTIVES: Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analog that binds to GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1R) on beta-cells and neuronal cells and is used for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. Insulin-secreting pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms ha…
INTRODUCTION: GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have gained traction in the management of obesity. There is limited literature on the implications of GLP-1 RAs in the field of otolaryngology. METHODS: We explore the association between GLP-1 RAs wi…
BACKGROUND: The effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on lipid components are unclear. We aim to quantify the lipid lowering effects of GLP1-RAs. METHODS: A comprehensive database search for placebo-controlled randomized con…
AIMS: To compare medication persistence and efficacy of oral and subcutaneous semaglutide, in a real-world setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a single-center, retrospective observational cohort study. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM…
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies, using clinical trial data, demonstrated that once-weekly (OW) semaglutide is dominant versus other glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in China. This study aims to evaluate the long-term clinical and…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits in trials involving high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), while dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) have not. However, DPP-…
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin disorder presenting with painful and draining nodules in intertriginous areas that may progress to sinus tracts. There is an increased prevalence of obesity in HS, and obesity may predispose patie…
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of obesity, obesity-related conditions (ORCs), and antiobesity medication (AOM) eligibility and prescribing practice among eligible patients in a large health care system. METHODS:…
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were often coexistent conditions driven by insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. Effective management strategies that address both metabolic disorders w…
BACKGROUND: Effective therapeutic approaches for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN) with irreversible deterioration of renal function are currently lacking. In this study, we aimed to investigate the ability of the glucagon-likepeptide-1 (GLP…
AIMS/INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of oral semaglutide after adding to or switching from incretin-related drugs by assessing the changes in HbA1c and body weight (BW) in participants with type 2 diabetes in…
BACKGROUND: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, leading to lifelong insulin dependence. Despite advancements in insulin therapies and glucose monitoring, maintaining optimal blood glucose con…
INTRODUCTION: The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue semaglutide is approved as an oral formulation for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to confirm bioequivalence between a new, second-generation (2G) oral semaglutide formulat…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) exert cardiovascular benefits in diabetic patients, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Semaglutide, a novel long-acting GLP-1RA, has shown a reduc…
