BACKGROUND: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has embarked on a Health Sector Transformation Program as part of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 initiatives with the facilitation of access to healthcare services for the millions in KSA with diabetes an esse…
A glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) semaglutide was approved for the treatment of obesity by the Food and Drug Administration. However, it can cause gastrointestinal events at high doses, limiting its broader use. Combining drugs wi…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has been shown to reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes. Whether semaglutide can reduce cardiovascular risk associated with overweight and obesi…
OBJECTIVES: Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist that improves glycemic control and achieves weight loss in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Subcutaneous (s.c.) semaglutide at 1 mg once weekly (OW) is safe in T2D patients with chr…
AIMS: The MIRAGE study aimed to evaluate the real-world use of once weekly (OW) subcutaneous semaglutide in glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist naïve type 2 diabetes patients in routine clinical practice in North Macedonia. METHODS: MIRAGE was a…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of oral semaglutide on glycaemic parameters, body weight, and satisfaction in the first recipient patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Slovenia, in a real-world clinical practice setting. METHODS: The first cons…
OBJECTIVE: Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder, and yet only one pharmacotherapy (lisdexamfetamine), which has known abuse-potential, is FDA-approved. Topiramate is also commonly prescribed off-label for binge eating but ha…
BACKGROUND: Many therapies for heart failure (HF) have shown differential impact across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). OBJECTIVES: In this prespecified analysis, the authors assessed the effects of semaglutide across the b…
BACKGROUND: NASH causes a tremendous health care burden in the United States. A glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist, semaglutide (Sema), treatment resulted in hepatic steatosis reduction in clinical trials of NASH. Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 antago…
The emergence of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs; semaglutide and others) now promises effective, non-invasive treatment of obesity for individuals with and without diabetes. Social media platforms' users started promoting semagl…
As GLP-1 receptor agonists, like semaglutide, emerge as effective treatments for weight management, anecdotal reports from patients and clinicians alike point to a reduction in what has been colloquially termed "food noise", as patients report experi…
IMPORTANCE: Obesity affects approximately 42% of US adults and is associated with increased rates of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, sleep disorders, osteoarthritis, and premature death. OBSERVATIONS: A body mass index (BMI) of…
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) contributes significantly to global mortality. GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) and GLP-1/GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) agonists, FDA-approved for managing type 2 diabetes and obesity, where the former h…
