GLP-1 RA plus SGLT-2i better than monotherapy for CV, renal events prevention
Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who received combined treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) have a much lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and serious renal events than those treated with either drug class alone, suggests a recent study.
Semaglutide benefits extend to HFpEF patients with T2D
The weight loss and heart failure (HF) benefits of semaglutide extend to patients with obesity-related HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the STEP-HFpEF DM trial, fuelling speculation that semaglutide may have cardiovascular effects beyond weight loss.
Prognosis role of blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio established in IPAH
A higher ratio of blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin is indicative of worse outcomes and disease severity in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), according to a study.
No benefit seen for aspirin in breast cancer
Taking aspirin in the adjuvant setting does not appear to lower the risk of recurrence or improve survival in patients with high-risk nonmetastatic breast cancer, as shown in the results of the phase III Alliance A011502 trial.
Sexual problems remain a burden in breast cancer patients
Sexual disorders are common among breast cancer patients, and such problems may continue for up to 2 years after the cancer diagnosis, according to a study. Notably, a communication gap regarding sexuality persists between patients and healthcare providers.
