Background Cellulite is a highly prevalent condition associated with alterations in adipose tissue architecture, microcirculation, and connective tissue integrity. Emerging evidence suggests that cellulite may represent a manifestation of both local…
Background Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has demonstrated substantial efficacy in reducing body weight and improving glycemic control in randomized trials;…
Numerous reports have documented the incidence of euglycemic ketoacidosis as a complication of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. However, euglycemic ketoacidosis secondary to the use of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are increasingly used for the management of diabetes and obesity. However, adverse effects beyond gastrointestinal symptoms remain incompletely characterized. CASE SUMMARY: A 73-year-old w…
BACKGROUND: Despite numerous milestones in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research, the disease remains incurable, with a high prevalence and significant financial burdens. As a result, researchers are keen to look for new medications that can help manage…
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…
BACKGROUND: Residual proteinuria remains a major determinant of renal disease progression in Fabry disease (FD) despite optimized enzyme replacement or chaperone therapy and maximal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade. Dual glucose-dependent insu…
Obesity is a chronic disease with a variety of metabolic, mechanical and psychosocial complications, including a high risk of developing prediabetes and subsequently type 2 diabetes mellitus. The choice of antidiabetic treatment as well as concomitan…
Hypertension is one of the most important comorbidities of diabetes, significantly contributing to increased mortality and leading to macrovascular and microvascular complications. When assessing the medical priorities for patients with diabetes, tre…
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…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor (GLP1R) agonists and tirzepatide, a dual GLP1R and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonist, have become fundamental in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity due to their pot…
Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), is commonly prescribed in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. While effective in reducing recurrence and mortality, tamoxifen is associated with weight gain in a significant proportion o…
BACKGROUND: With the increasing use of glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists and declining bariatric surgery referrals for patients with morbid obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD), it is unclear whether this strategy optimizes long-term surviv…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Bulky solid tumors present significant therapeutic challenges. Spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT), a technique delivering alternating high- and low-dose subvolumes, alters the tumor microenvironment while minimizing to…
The introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has significantly reduced AIDS-related morbidity and mortality. However, the prevalence of age-associated comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVD), has increased, becoming…
This supplement presents scientific reports from industry-sponsored IDWeek 2025 symposia, highlighting selected advances in infectious diseases and HIV care through clinical case scenarios. One article explores therapeutic approaches to metabolic com…
BACKGROUND: Excess visceral abdominal fat (EVAF) is a prevalent metabolic complication among people living with HIV-1 (PLWH), occurring even in individuals with normal or mildly elevated body mass index (BMI). This pattern of fat accumulation is asso…
