Low muscle mass is most strongly assoc w/ mortality. Although neither higher fat mass nor abdominal adiposity showed sig associations, muscle mass remains a more robust predictor across subgroups & through more reliable methods jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #HeartFailure #JACCHF

📉 Real-World Semaglutide Use in the U.S. ❌ Many patients deviate from recommended dose-escalation ⚠️ High discontinuation rates seen in practice 🧠 Better support is needed for patients & clinicians 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… #Obesity #GLP1 #Semaglutide #RealWorldEvidence

In critically ill patients, neither dexmedetomidine nor clonidine was superior to propofol in reducing time to successful extubation. ja.ma/3I5Ju0c

An excellent presentation. Americans should be delighted to have Vinay Prasad MD MPH in this position.

Zilebesiran, when combined with standard oral antihypertensive drugs, reduced systolic blood pressure at 3 months vs placebo in people with resistant hypertension. ja.ma/4kgT9OQ

Anti Obesity Medications Effect On Bone Metabolism 1️⃣ Weight loss reduces fat, but also muscle and bone. 2️⃣ GLP-1R agonists have minimal or no harmful effects on bones in humans. 3️⃣ Fracture risk remains unchanged with GLP-1R use. 4️⃣ Dual/triple incretin agonists may benefit
