Long-Term Obesity May Accelerate Aging in Young Adults
Long-term obesity was associated with markers of accelerated biological aging in adults aged 28-31 years, according to a multiple-events, case-control study published in JAMA Network Open.
BRIDGE-TNK: Tenecteplase Before Thrombectomy Improves Post Stroke Functional Outcomes
Intravenous tenecteplase before endovascular thrombectomy improves functional independence among patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO) presenting within 4.5 hours vs. thrombectomy alone, according to new results from the BRIDGE-TNK randomized trial, published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
SURMOUNT-5: Greater Loss of Weight, Waist Circumference With Tirzepatide Than Semaglutide
Tirzepatide leads to significantly greater loss of weight and waist circumference compared with semaglutide among adults with obesity but without diabetes, according to new results from the SURMOUNT-5 phase 3b trial, published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Long-Term Risk of Infective Endocarditis Higher For MV Replacement vs. Repair
Mitral valve (MV) replacement is associated with a 3.5-fold higher long-term risk of infective endocarditis compared with MV repair and with patients at moderate risk of infective endocarditis, according to a study published in the European Heart Journal.
