The objective is to review the newer pharmacological interventions for obesity, specifically single, dual and triple incretin receptor agonists that are either available or in the pipeline for treatment of obesity. The three incretin receptor targets are glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon. There are several approved single or dual incretin agonists which can be administered subcutaneously daily (e.g., liraglutide) or weekly (e.g., semaglutide, dulaglutide, and exenatide QW), and other experimental dual or triple incretin agonists. Analogues of amylin, peptide YY and oxyntomodulin, as well as the combination of a GLP1R agonist and GIPR antagonist also are in development. Oral semaglutide (administered daily) is approved for type 2 diabetes mellitus and is on track for regulatory review for obesity. The review includes specifically perspectives on the effects of these mechanisms and pharmacological agents on gastric emptying, which contribute to satiation and weight loss, in addition to the established evidence on effects on central mechanisms controlling appetite. In the future, it is anticipated that small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., oral danuglipron) will be developed for treating obesity. These pharmacological agents are having significant impact on glycaemic control and obesity and on their co-morbidities.

Aspirin-free strategies after percutaneous coronary intervention: Old habits, consolidated evidence and future perspectives.
Eur J Intern Med
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia, Italy.
For almost two decades, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has been considered the cornerstone of pharmacological treatment in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). DAPT composition and duration have considerably evolved in the last decade moving from fixed treatment durations to tailored strategies based on the individual ischemic and bleeding risks. The increasing awareness of the prognostic relevance of bleeding events after PCI and the need for tailoring DAPT according to the individual bleeding and ischemic risks paved the way to newer DAPT modulation strategies by early aspirin withdrawal which have been shown to decrease bleeding without affecting therapeutic efficacy.

Service and Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacology, University Hospital (CHUV) and Faculty of Biology and Medicine, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Introduction: Saliva is a promising option for therapeutic drug monitoring, with studies since the 1970s indicating a good correlation between plasma and saliva levels for early anti-seizure medications, although limited data exist for newer generation drugs.
Objectives: To evaluate the reliability and predictive power of saliva as a minimally invasive surrogate marker of plasma concentration for the routine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of newer anti-seizure medications (ASM).
Methods: We collected blood samples at steady state in patients at least 6 h post-dose, paired with unstimulated saliva samples.
Gut decontamination in the poisoned patient.

Division of Medical Toxicology, Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
Poisoning management includes gastrointestinal decontamination strategies to decrease the burden of poison entering the body and change the expected severe toxicity expected to a less toxic, more favourable outcome. Common modalities are orogastric lavage, oral-activated charcoal and whole-bowel irrigation. Endoscopic retrieval and laparotomy are rare options reserved for severe ingestions and body packers.

Current treatments for acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) cure fewer than 30 % of patients. This low efficacy is due, in part, to the inter-patient and intra-patient heterogeneity of AMLs; accordingly, all current AML treatment regimens involve drug combinations (polypharmacy). A recently-completed clinical trial in relapsed/refractory AML using a combination of two newer targeted antileukemics, the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax (VEN) plus the FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib (GIL), yielded highly promising results for this two-drug polypharmacy combination.

January 2025
In Germany, around 80000 people are currently dependent on permanent renal replacement therapy (RRT). Due to demographic developments and improvements in life expectancy, the prevalence will continue to increase even if the effects of newer pharmacological substances such as SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists are promising in inhibiting progression. There are basically three different methods of renal replacement therapy and their variants: Kidney transplantation (KTX), peritoneal dialysis (PD), hemodialysis (HD)/hemodiafiltration (HDF).
