BACKGROUND: Bone and joint infections (BJI) are a significant complication after arthroplasty and fracture fixation, particularly challenging in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 recepto…
BACKGROUND: This post hoc analysis explored the effects of semaglutide on estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) slope by baseline glycemic control, blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI) and albuminuria status in people with type 2 diabetes and…
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of semaglutide treatment for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) on the risk of short-term (<6 mo) postoperative complications in patients undergoing primary cervical spine decompressi…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide is highly effective for decreasing weight. Concomitant loss of muscle mass often accompanies weight loss and may have consequences on muscle function. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis from the SLIM LIVER (Advancing Clinic…
INTRODUCTION: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most common type of chronic liver disease. Semaglutide is a glucose-lowering drug administered for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is clinically effective i…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The Semaglutide Effects on Cardiovascular Outcomes in People with Overweight or Obesity (SELECT) trial demonstrated significant reductions in cardiovascular outcomes in people with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and overweight or o…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are guideline recommended agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and select agents (liraglutide and semaglutide) are FDA approved as anti-obesity pharmacotherapy options. These…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are peptide analogues that are used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. The first medication in this class, exenatide, was approved in 2005, and these medications, specifically semaglutide, have be…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In the FLOW trial, semaglutide reduced the risks of kidney and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes and death in participants with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). These prespecified analyses assessed the effects of sema…
Glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are commonly used to improve glycemic control and promote weight loss in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or obesity. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding GLP-1 agonist use in…
We studied the effect of semaglutide (glucagon-like peptide type 1 agonist) on hypothalamic pro-inflammatory genes in diet-induced obese mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a control (C) or high-fat (HF) diet for 16 weeks, then divided into six groups…
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a common chronic medical illness resulting from an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation along with microarchitecture degeneration attributed to estrogen deficiency and often accompanied by other medical…
BACKGROUND: Paediatric obesity is a global public health concern. While in most countries the incidence keeps rising, the need for effective and long-term management for children and adolescents living with this chronic, relapsing disease is pressing…
