OBJECTIVE: Summarize the effectiveness and safety of Semaglutide for non-diabetic obese patients through umbrella analysis. METHODS: From inception to May 2024, we searched PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library for a systematic rev…

Reports submitted to the FDA and EMA suggest that Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may be associated with an elevated risk of suicidality. To ascertain this association across available pharmacovigilance and cohort studies, Pubme…

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly prescribed for glycemic control and weight loss management in type 2 diabetes. Their use, however, is associated with a wide range of gastrointestinal adverse effects like nausea,…

CONTEXT: This case report is interesting because it highlights a direction for the treatment of comorbid obesity and cocaine use disorder, which is an increasing clinical condition from an epidemiological point of view, and allows us to identify the…

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most life-threatening complications of diabetes and a leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) or sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) app…

AIMS: Managing patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and heart failure (HF) is challenging. While sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) show cardiovascular b…

INTRODUCTION: This research evaluated the association between glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and bowel obstruction or ileus. METHODS: We searched databases, including Medline, Embase, and Cochrane, for studies on adult patients…

INTRODUCTION: Extant literature implicates the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on modulating alcohol-associated behaviours, with a particular emphasis of these agents on neural circuits subserving reward…

INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists represent efficacious therapies for treating type 2 diabetes. Oral semaglutide is the only orally administered GLP-1 receptor agonist currently available and has been associated with red…

AIM: - To describe baseline characteristics and safety data of real-world use of semaglutide 2.4 mg. METHODS: - Patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/mand at least one of the following treated weight-related comorbidities (WRC: hypertension, d…

AIMS: To characterize trends in the initiation of newer anti-obesity medications (AOMs) and determine factors associated with their use among obese/overweight populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study utilized electronic health rec…

IMPORTANCE: Semaglutide, a glucagonlike peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), has recently been implicated in cases of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), raising safety concerns in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). OBJECTI…

The prevalent assumption in computer-assisted synthesis planning has been to rely on the wealth of reaction data and on the consideration of this vast knowledge base at every stage of route planning. Yet even if equipped with all requisite knowledge…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting over 500 million people globally. Current treatments are primarily symptom-focused, with no approved therapies to halt disease progression. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists…

INTRODUCTION: Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in pediatric oncology. Advances in the treatment of childhood brain tumors have led to increased survival; however, treatment-related morbidity remains high. The risk of developing overweigh…
