Background: Tirzepatide is a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)-glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist being evaluated for the treatment of various metabolic disorders. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized data on the effects of tirzepatide on serum lipid levels.
Methods: We systematically searched the PubMed and ClinicalTrials.
Objective: This report examines telemedicine use by office-based physicians and long-term care providers in the United States, stratified by electronic health record use and by provider or practice size. Further, it examines differences in telemedicine use before and after the COVID-19 pandemic onset among office-based physicians and assesses telemedicine use during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic for long-term care providers.
Methods: Nationally representative estimates in this report are derived from data collected in the 2019 and 2021 National Electronic Health Records Survey, which assesses characteristics of office-based physicians, and the 2020 National Post-acute and Long-term Care Study, which assesses characteristics of adult day services centers and residential care communities.
Objective: To evaluate the role of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion in the very late window (>24 hours).
Methods: A systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines using PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases till 2024. Quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS).
Background And Aims: Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulators (S1PRMs) are an effective treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC). This review summarizes all available randomized trial data on the efficacy and safety of S1PRM therapy.
Methods: Multiple publication databases were systematically searched for randomized control trials (RCTs) of adults with moderate to severe UC treated with S1PRMs.
