INTRODUCTION: Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a significant public health concern in the USA, with considerable prevalence and mortality and no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved pharmacotherapies. Recent advances in addiction science emphasis…
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has been rising continuously in China. However, glycemic control rates remain suboptimal, posing a significant public health challenge. Although traditional intensive insulin strategies are effective in impr…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), particularly semaglutide and liraglutide, have revolutionized the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity due to their potent effects on weight loss and glycemic control. However,…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is linked to cardiometabolic risk, and semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has emerged as a promising option for weight and metabolic control. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of…
GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) discontinuation has been associated with weight regain. However, weight trajectories following the last documented GLP-1RA prescription in the real-world clinical setting have not been explored. Here, we assessed weig…
White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are highly prevalent in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and arise from interacting vascular pathologies (including hypertensive small vessel disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy) alongside inflammatory and neurodegene…
Severe obesity is a relative exclusion criterion for heart transplantation. This study assessed glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) for weight loss as a bridge to heart transplantation candidacy. A retrospective study of end-stage h…
BACKGROUND: Novel antiobesity medications have demonstrated significant weight loss in clinical trials. Data on real-world use of semaglutide are lacking. Such data are vital to inform health benefit design of this and other costly incretin mimetics,…
Two out of 5 US adults live with obesity, generating substantial clinical and economic burden. Recent glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), including semaglutide and tirzepatide, demonstrate significant weight loss and cardiometaboli…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is widely used for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Recent case reports have raised concerns about a potential association between semaglutide use and the development of no…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based obesity pharmacotherapies have revolutionized obesity treatment. In this review, we discuss the discovery of GLP-1 and evaluate the efficacy of marketed and investigational GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists (GLP-1…
