AIMS: Vasorelaxant and anti-inflammatory properties of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists support their investigation in aiding the recovery of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) at risk of worse outcomes. METHODS: We undertook a four…
Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a mast cell-driven disease that affects approximately 1% of the population. Second-generation non-sedating H-antihistamines (H1AH) are considered the first-line treatment; however, a substantial proportion of pa…
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have revolutionized the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity in recent years. While gastrointestinal adverse events are common, their association with nutritional d…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based medications, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, have transformed obesity care. However, rising use brings concerns about side effects, long-term outcomes, and unregulated products. Ensuring safe access requires…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to provide a comprehensive synthesis of current clinical evidence on the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), and dual glucose-depend…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Non-invasive test (NIT)-based assessment of eligibility and treatment response with semaglutide is needed to inform clinical practice guidance. Therefore, utilising a randomised, placebo-controlled study design, we evaluated the util…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease globally and is closely associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1R…
BACKGROUND: Prediabetes represents an intermediate stage in the dysglycemia continuum, associated with increased cardiometabolic risk but also substantial opportunity for prevention. The aim of this review was to summarize and critically evaluate the…
OBJECTIVE: Number needed to treat (NNT) and cost per event avoided (CPEA) are measures used to represent the clinical and economic value of chronic treatments and are commonly calculated based on primary endpoints from trials. This approach, although…
AIMS: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive liver disease with limited effective treatments. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have shown promise for metabolic and hepatic benefits. This study eva…
INTRODUCTION: Recent studies have demonstrated that both oral semaglutide and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have beneficial effects on glycemic and weight management as well as providing renal and cardiovascular protection. Howe…
BACKGROUND: Individuals with schizophrenia suffer from reduced life expectancy, primarily due to obesity-related metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The presence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) may contribute to CVD, but CAN i…
The search for effective adjuncts to procedural revascularization for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has revealed, after several successful outcomes trials, the substantial potential of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs such as sem…
BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity is a prevalent and growing global health concern associated with a significant healthcare burden. With recent advancements in weight management interventions demonstrating cardioprotective benefits, there is a need…
