Semaglutide

BACKGROUND: -MODY constitutes 5%-10% of MODY cases; however, treatment options remain unclearly recommended, and long-term follow-up of patients with-MODY is lacking due to limited research. Here, we report a case carrying a newvariant of. The patien…

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…

BACKGROUND: CKD is a significant public health issue, affecting approximately half a billion people globally. Key risk factors for CKD include obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess safety of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg versus placebo, beyond reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events, in patients with established cardiovascular disease and overweight or…

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: People with schizophrenia are at heightened risk for physical multimorbidity and premature death. Semaglutide improves cardiometabolic outcomes, yet research is limited among individuals with schizophrenia. This study explo…

Recent cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have reshaped the therapeutic landscape of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), revealing that certain glucose-lowering agents, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), offer substantial…

IntroductionDiabetes related foot ulcers (DFUs) are common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), affecting 15-25% of individuals living with diabetes and significantly contributing to healthcare costs ($9-13 billion annually in the U.S.).…

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…

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) increases with age, and older adults with HFpEF have worse physical function, quality of life, and clinical outcomes. Semaglutide demonstrated efficacy in the treatm…

The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes presents a major global health challenge. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists offer glycemic control, weight loss, and cardiovascular benefits but are limited by rapid enzymatic degradation a…

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists have shown promising results in obesity treatment. In France, semaglutide 2.4-mg (Wegovy) has benefited from an early-access program from July 2022 to September 2023. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed t…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and resultant steatohepatitis (MASH) have been linked to psychiatric comorbidities. The treatment of MASLD/MASH primarily relies upon weight loss, where achieving a…

AIMS: The study aims to examine the outcome of replacement of prandial insulin with once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes reasonably controlled on multiple daily insulin injections (MDI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This sing…

Obesity is rising among women of reproductive age and significantly contributes to subfertility. If conception occurs, maternal obesity is associated with increased risks for both maternal and neonatal complications, with potential long-term effects…

AIM: To verify sex differences of GLP-1RAs for weight reduction. METHODS: We searched RCTs reporting weight change by sex from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials registries. Meta-regression was performed to evaluate…

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a relapsing condition and response to anti-obesity therapies appears to be normally distributed. Therefore, some patients undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) will demonstrate a partial response to therapy. When prescri…
