INTRODUCTION: This systematic review and meta‑analysis is the first to comprehensively compare oral and subcutaneous semaglutide for type 2 diabetes (T2D) management. OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to determine whether oral semaglutide is noninferior to the…
BACKGROUND: Managing severe obesity in youth with chronic, progressive conditions, such as juvenile Huntington disease, presents unique challenges. Juvenile Huntington disease, is characterized by rapid neurodegeneration, with most patients experienc…
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia with societal and economic burdens. While recent therapies offer disease-modifying potential, concerns remain about efficacy and safety. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GL…
GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide) and dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists (e.g., tirzepatide) are effective for reducing body weight and fat mass, though lean soft tissue loss comprised 26%-40% of weight loss in recent trials. This case series…
OBJECTIVE: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are recommended as glucose-lowering therapies for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (A…
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and, more recently, weight management. Due to its efficacy in weight loss, semaglutide has gained worldwide popularity, particularly the bra…
PURPOSE: Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors have emerged as a promising class of targeted therapies for patients with tumors containing neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusions. While not noted in early clinical studies, ab…
BACKGROUND: Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a challenging and increasingly recognized complication following bariatric surgery, particularly Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Multiple pharmacologic interventions have been explored for managing PB…
Biostimulators like hyperdiluted calcium hydroxylapatite-carboxymethylcellulose (CaHA-CMC; Radiesse, Merz North America, Franksville, WI) are effective in promoting neocollagenesis and restoring facial volume. The emergence of glucagon-like peptide-1…
BACKGROUND: Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes, increasingly linked to SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and, less frequently, GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), especially in combi…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the integration of semaglutide, a highly effective glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), with medical nutritional therapy (MNT) for the comprehensive management of obesity. Semaglutide promotes si…
IMPORTANCE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used for weight loss, but their ocular effects in nondiabetic individuals remain unclear. Prior studies suggest GLP-1RA use reduced age-related macular degeneration (AM…
AIMS: Patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus face elevated cardiovascular risk. We assessed the effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists on 10-year CVR in a primary prevention cohort. METHODS: In this 44-week prospective, non-randomized study, 135 patients…
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a highly prevalent metabolic disorder with increasing global incidence, linked to gut microbiota dysbiosis. This study investigated the effects of semaglutide, a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist, on gu…
INTRODUCTION: Perioperative bronchoaspiration is a serious complication often associated with inadequate fasting or delayed gastric emptying, including that caused by glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs). Despite growing semaglutide…
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular events. While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have demonstrated cardiovascular benefit in patients with diabetes, their role in patients with PAD wi…
