Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality while diabetes is a recognized risk factor for CRC. Here we report that tirzepatide (TZP), a novel polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GIPR/GLP-1R) agonist for the treatment of…

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition affecting around one billion people worldwide. Emerging evidence from recent studies suggests that Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1) agonists may reduce OSA severity. Hence, this…
This case report highlights the multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach in managing a 49-year-old male with super-super obesity (initial Body Mass Index (BMI): 106.25 kg/m). Interventions included very-low-calorie-diet, tirzepatide treatment, and event…
BACKGROUND: Obesity leads to both heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and to chronic kidney disease (CKD); CKD may both influence the clinical course of obesity-related HFpEF; and incretin-based drugs may influence renal function…

There have been many recent advancements in cardiology research, with numerous studies published across the multiple subspecialties. Having screened more than 1200 articles published in 2024, we summarize 10 studies in this article that highlight key…
AIMS: The goal of this observational, single-cohort, pre-post study was to describe the association of tirzepatide with glycaemic control and weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a US commercially insured population. MATERIALS AND ME…
INTRODUCTION: The exponential increase in obesity is responsible for the increased prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Weight loss is critical to improvement in OSA. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) agonism-based therapies (GLP1RA-B…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes research on glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) medications and their relevance in the treatment of benign gynecologic conditions. RECENT FINDINGS: GLP-1 RA use is increasing in popularity in…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a once-weekly glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist approved for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes or obesity, showed clinically meaningful reductions in hemoglob…
The SURMOUNT-OSA trial evaluated the impact of the weight loss drug tirzepatide in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The primary endpoint assessed was a change in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) after 52 weeks in individuals on the dr…
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder commonly secondary to obesity that has detrimental effects on health and quality of life. Thus, weight loss is one of the mainstays of OSA treatment. Tirzepatide, a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-…
OBJECTIVE: Multiple studies have demonstrated that treatment with tirzepatide results in significant improvement in HgbA1c as well as meaningful weight loss. Although the loss of skeletal muscle mass has been well described with the use of glucagon-l…
Tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, promoted significant body weight reduction in the phase 3 clinical trials. We conducted a preclinical study and a phase 1 clinical trial (NCT040…
