The role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists in enhancing endothelial function: a potential avenue for improving heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent and complex condition with limited effective treatments. Endothelial dysfunction is a significant component of HFpEF pathophysiology, and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have shown potential benefits in improving endothelial function. This study aims to explore the relationship between endothelial dysfunction in HFpEF and the mechanisms of action of GLP-1R agonists, highlighting their potential therapeutic benefits.

Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis: A Detailed Review of the Different Psychiatric Presentations and Red Flags to Look for in Suspected Cases.

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a rare autoimmune disorder that involves N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. It is the most common autoimmune encephalitis, and early detection and treatment are crucial for morbidity-free recovery. Distinguishing this disorder from a primary psychiatric illness is quite challenging as this disorder classically presents with psychiatric manifestations that often resemble schizophrenic psychosis.
