Background: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has been shown to reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes. Whether semaglutide can reduce cardiovascular risk associated with overweight and obesity in the absence of diabetes is unknown.
Methods: In a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, event-driven superiority trial, we enrolled patients 45 years of age or older who had preexisting cardiovascular disease and a body-mass index (the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) of 27 or greater but no history of diabetes.
The Combined Effects of Amyloidosis and Serotonin Deficiency by Tryptophan Hydroxylase-2 Knockout Impacts Viability of the APP/PS1 Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease.

Department of Neurobiology, Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Southern Denmark, Odense C, Denmark.
Background: A decline of brain serotonin (5-HT) is held responsible for the changes in mood that can be observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, 5-HT'ergic signaling is also suggested to reduce the production of pathogenic amyloid-β (Aβ).
Objective: To investigate the effect of targeted inactivation of tryptophan hydroxylase-2 (Tph2), which is essential for neuronal 5-HT synthesis, on amyloidosis in amyloid precursor protein (APP)swe/presenilin 1 (PS1) ΔE9 transgenic mice.
Pharmacokinetics, Tissue Distribution, and Efficacy of VIO-001 (Meropenem/Piperacillin/Tazobactam) for Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia in Immunocompetent Rabbits with Chronic Indwelling Vascular Catheters.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections of surgically implanted subcutaneous vascular catheters (SISVCs) cause serious morbidity in patients with chronic illnesses. Previous and murine models demonstrated the synergistic interaction of equimolar concentrations of meropenem/piperacillin/tazobactam (MPT) (VIO-001) against MRSA infection. We investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of VIO-001 for the treatment of MRSA bacteremia in immunocompetent rabbits with SISVCs.

Article Synopsis
- A clinical trial investigated whether therapeutic-dose anticoagulation could improve outcomes for critically ill patients with severe Covid-19 compared to standard thromboprophylaxis.
- The study found no significant difference in organ support-free days between the two groups, with the anticoagulation group showing a median of 1 day compared to 4 days for the usual-care group.
- The trial was halted due to a high probability of futility, with similar hospital discharge survival rates and a slightly higher occurrence of major bleeding in the anticoagulation group.

Background: Thrombosis and inflammation may contribute to the risk of death and complications among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). We hypothesized that therapeutic-dose anticoagulation may improve outcomes in noncritically ill patients who are hospitalized with Covid-19.
Methods: In this open-label, adaptive, multiplatform, controlled trial, we randomly assigned patients who were hospitalized with Covid-19 and who were not critically ill (which was defined as an absence of critical care-level organ support at enrollment) to receive pragmatically defined regimens of either therapeutic-dose anticoagulation with heparin or usual-care pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis.
