Article Synopsis
  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) may be linked to a higher risk of acute pancreatitis (AP) in some cases.
  • A real-world study found no increased frequency of AP among adults with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) who had a prior history of AP when using GLP-1RAs.
  • The study suggests that GLP-1RAs are potentially safe for T2D patients with previous AP issues, but further research is still needed.

Objective: This study aimed to demonstrate noninferiority using telehealth in treating obesity with phentermine in patients with BMI ≥ 27 kg/m with comorbidities or BMI ≥ 30 compared with the standard in-person approach over a 90-day period.

Methods: A 12-week, randomized, prospective, single-center, open label trial compared the use of virtual visits versus in-person visits for the treatment of obesity using phentermine. The primary end point was percentage mean change in body weight from baseline to 12 weeks.

Andersson and Pearson's (1999) seminal article on workplace incivility has paved the way for nearly two decades of research focusing on rude and discourteous behavior at work. We now have a better understanding of the dynamics associated with uncivil workplace interactions including the characteristics of those who instigate and are targeted with workplace incivility, the negative consequences of incivility, the mechanisms that link incivility and negative outcomes, and the boundary conditions that affect these relationships. The present article provides a "roadmap" for workplace incivility researchers by identifying five assumptions that we propose are acting as "speedbumps" in current workplace incivility research by limiting advancements about what workplace incivility is and how it functions.
