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…
Despite being a major cause of preventable death worldwide, alcohol use disorder (AUD) currently has only 3 FDA-approved pharmacotherapies. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) semaglutide has shown promise in preclinical studies fo…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is highly effective as an anti-diabetic medication along with additional benefits of significant reduction in cardiovascular events and weight. OBJECTIVES: There is a lack of reliable evidenc…
INTRODUCTION: Increasing interest in real-world evidence has fueled the development of study designs incorporating real-world data (RWD). Using the, we specify three designs to evaluate the difference in risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (M…
BACKGROUND: Recent reports of individuals experiencing suicidal and/or self-injurious behaviors while using liraglutide and semaglutide have heightened the concerns regarding neuropsychiatric safety of Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1RAs). As…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review examines lifestyle modification for obesity management with the goal of identifying treatment components that could support the use of a new generation of anti-obesity medications (AOMs). RECENT FINDINGS: Semaglutide re…
