Tirzepatide and Cancer Risk in Individuals with and without Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Data on the carcinogenic potential of tirzepatide from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are limited. Furthermore, no meta-analysis has included all relevant RCTs to assess the cancer risk associated with tirzepatide.

Methods: RCTs involving patients receiving tirzepatide in the intervention arm and either a placebo or any active comparator in the control arm were searched through electronic databases.

Phthalates toxicity to rats, mice, birds, and fish: A thematic scoping review.

Background: Phthalates, a large group of endocrine disruptors, are ubiquitous in the environment and detrimental to human health. This scoping review aimed to summarize the effects of phthalates on laboratory animals relevant to humans, assess toxicity, and analyze mechanisms of toxicity for public health concerns.

Methods: Articles were retrieved from Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science search engines.

Genetic Correlation Analysis of Calving Ease and Gestation Length of Korean Holstein Cattle.

Objective: To investigate genetic correlation between calving ease (CE) and gestation length (GL) traits of Korean Holstein cattle to understand genetic structures of these two traits and their potential implications.

Methods: Records of progenies from first parity (P1, N=117,921) and second parity (P2, N=141,104) Holsteins cows were used for analysis. All phenotypes (CE and GL) were considered as calf traits.

Meta-analysis of longitudinal comparison of transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement in patients at low to intermediate surgical risk.

Background: Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is the commonly used approach for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with aortic stenosis at low or intermediate surgical risk. However, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an alternative to SAVR for AVR. This meta-analysis aims to assess the comparative efficacy and safety of TAVR versus SAVR in low-to-intermediate surgical risk patients by analyzing temporal trends in the outcomes of TAVR and SAVR at various follow-up intervals, providing a more detailed understanding.
