Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases. Despite the availability of a wide variety of anti-hypertensive agents, a large number of patients on anti-hypertensive therapy have uncontrolled hypertension. Several factors, such as incorrect dosage and treatment non-adherence due to side effects, polypharmacy, and complex dosing regimens, can cause inadequate blood pressure regulation.

These recommendations standardize management, reduce interobserver variability, and standardizes scientific communication.
Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to validate the correlation between the NI-RADS category and disease status on clinical follow-up and histopathological analysis.
Introduction: Retatrutide is a novel triple hormone receptor agonist which has shown great promise in tackling obesity in preliminary trials. We did this systematic review and meta-analysis to pool the results of all available trials and ascertain its safety and efficacy in the treatment of obesity.
Material And Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Central and Embase using appropriate search terms and randomized control trials (RCTs) were identified which reported the safety and efficacy of retatrutide.
Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of premature mortality and morbidity. Recent guidelines advocate for out-of-office blood pressure monitoring, including ambulatory and home BP monitoring, to better identify hypertension phenotypes like masked hypertension, white coat hypertension, and sustained hypertension. However, clinical inertia persists due to a lack of robust evidence on the effectiveness of screening these phenotypes and their association with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.
