GLP-1 Receptor Agonists are one of the most revolutionary new classes of drugs in decades. By now, their benefits for #weightmanagement, controlling blood glucose, treating #Type2Diabetes , improving #cardiovascular health, and more are widely known. But what role should they play in the global #obesity crisis? In a new episode of #HealthyDialogue, Lotte Bjerre Knudsen, DMSc, who won the Lasker Award for her pioneering work developing the first long-acting GLP-1RAs, and Jens Juul Holst, MD, DMSc, discuss the discovery and development of these drugs and answer the question, "should everyone be on GLP-1s?" 📖 Read full article to learn more:

A population-based study in Ontario, Canada, examined outcomes for more than 28,000 individuals treated for a nonfatal #opioidoverdose and discharged from the #emergency department. Within 1 year, more than 1 in 5 had a repeat overdose, nearly 9% died, with nearly two-thirds of deaths resulting from another opioid overdose. The 1-year #mortality rate was higher among those with a prior overdose in the preceding 5 years. These findings indicate that the post-discharge period is a time of acute, sustained risk and highlight the importance of low-barrier interventions such as opioid agonist therapy, take-home #naloxone, and rapid follow-up for #survivors. 📖 Read the full article to learn more:

Operating rooms use 3-6 times more energy than other #hospital spaces and generate about one-third of hospital waste. Strategies highlighted in a recent JAMA article to reduce the #environmentalimpact of surgery include limiting unnecessary preoperative testing, using #telemedicine for pre- and postoperative care, minimizing surgical tray items and single-use products, separating waste appropriately, and opting for #anesthesia with lower global warming potential. These approaches can help reduce emissions and #waste while maintaining high-quality patient care. 📖 Read the full article to learn more:

This randomized #clinicaltrial demonstrated that adding low-dose intra-arterial alteplase after endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic #Stroke improved microvascular perfusion and functional outcomes compared with thrombectomy alone. Despite these findings, increased #mortality in the #alteplase group highlights the need for careful risk-benefit assessment when considering adjunctive pharmacologic strategies. 📖 Read the full article to learn more: 📹: Melanie Molina, MD MAS
