A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RA) are increasingly prescribed medications with well-documented gastrointestinal adverse effects. Urologic adverse effects remain poorly characterized. CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year-old mal…
Over the recent years, there has been a notable surge in consumer demand for rapid and effective weight-loss pharmaceuticals that are also capable of managing type 2 diabetes. Owing to their exceptional efficacy, GLP-1 receptor agonists, including Ti…
INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which there is no cure. Diabetes is one of the risk factors for developing PD. Tirzepatide is a novel long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-depen…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a worldwide health concern linked to cardiometabolic comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and heart disease. The management of obesity using pharmacotherapy, especially with GLP-1 receptor agonists…
BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is common, obesity-related, and associated with high symptom burden and healthcare use. Tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, improved symptoms and outcomes in SUMMIT, but its acqui…

ABSTRACT: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are widely prescribed for their cardiometabolic benefits, yet their hematologic oncologic sa…
BACKGROUND Cutaneous allodynia is reported as a pain resulting from a stimulus that does not normally provoke or elicit pain and an altered quality of sensation characterized by extreme sensitivity to touch or mild temperature change. Glucagon-like p…
INTRODUCTION: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular (CV) disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) drive excess morbidity and mortality. Beyond glucose-lowering, incretin-based therapies may provide organ protection across t…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate shifts in waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) categories among adults with obesity or overweight, with or without prediabetes, treated with tirzepatide in the SURMOUNT-1 study. METHODS: This post hoc analysis included 2,538 participan…
OBJECTIVE: This prespecified subpopulation analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of once-weekly tirzepatide versus placebo alongside lifestyle intervention in Japanese adults with obesity or overweight. METHODS: Data from 102 Japanese adul…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has rapidly emerged as the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, gradually replacing viral hepatitis in clinical and epidemiological relevance. Italian data mirror global tr…
INTRODUCTION: As glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1) use has increased among children, a better understanding of the related adverse effects in this population is needed. METHODS: National Poison Data System data from 2017 to 2024 were a…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common, heterogeneous condition that is tightly linked to obesity, visceral adiposity and insulin resistance. Lifestyle intervention and off-label use of metformin provide only modest and unsustained weight loss,…
BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent and heterogeneous disorder associated with substantial cardiometabolic morbidity. Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains first-line therapy, long-term effectiveness…
BACKGROUND: Effective weight reduction interventions may significantly reduce obesity-related atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. However, evidence on the association between optimal body mass index (BMI) target and long-term ASCVD r…
