We evaluated the effects on glycemic control and body weight of a GLP1-RA in obese type 2 diabetic patients treated with SGLT2-inhibitors and other hypoglycemic agents and/or insulin, in a real-world setting. A cohort of 583 type 2 diabetic outpatients treated with a SGLT2 inhibitor and/or other anti-diabetic medications were examined. Because patients had suboptimal glycemic control, the GLP1-RA Dulaglutide was added to ongoing medications.

However, data on the respective predictive roles of TYG, glucose tolerance (GT), and metabolic syndrome (MS) for mortality in obesity are lacking.
Methods: We analyzed 1359 obese patients (371 men and 988 women), aged 44.
Background And Objectives: Esmethadone (dextromethadone; d-methadone; S-methadone (+)-methadone; REL-1017) is a low potency N-methyl--aspartate (NMDA) receptor channel blocker that showed a rapid and sustained adjunctive antidepressant effects in patients with major depressive disorder with inadequate response to ongoing serotonergic antidepressant treatment. Previous studies indicated that esmethadone is partially excreted by the kidney (53.9% of the dose) and by the liver (39.

In this phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, outpatients with MDD () were randomized to daily oral esmethadone (75 mg on day 1, followed by 25 mg daily on days 2 through 28) or placebo between December 2020 and December 2022. The primary efficacy measure was change from baseline (CFB) to day 28 in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score.
