A new era is dawning in diabetes treatment, and incretin therapy with GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) like Dulaglutide is emerging as a pivotal solution for breaking through the constraints of clinical inertia.

04 Sep 2023 by

In the realm of modern medicine, the term "clinical inertia" has gained significant attention for its potential to hinder effective disease management. Within the context of diabetes management, clinical inertia refers to the delay or reluctance in intensifying therapy despite clear indications for doing so, such as not achieving their target HbA1c goal.¹ Fortunately, a new era is dawning in diabetes treatment, and incretin therapy with GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) like Dulaglutide is emerging as a pivotal solution for breaking through the constraints of clinical inertia.

Is intermittent dietary carbohydrate restriction more effective than calorie restriction?

02 Sep 2023

Individuals who adhere to intermittent low-carbohydrate diet (ILCD) show no difference in changes from baseline in obesity measures, glucose regulation, and inflammation compared with those on intermittent calorie restriction diet (ICR) despite trends in reduction in these parameters, a study has shown. However, some differences in responses in lipids and gut microbiota have been observed.

General anaesthesia and oxytocin significantly associated with PPH in twin pregnancies

31 Aug 2023 by

A retrospective cohort study of twin pregnancies in Hong Kong has identified general anaesthesia (GA) and use of oxytocin as significant risk factors for all postpartum haemorrhage (PPH; ≥500 mL). The study also shows that GA, in vitro fertilization (IVF), antepartum haemorrhage, placental abruption, and placenta praevia (PP) are significantly associated with major PPH (>1,000 mL), while IVF, PP, and obesity are significant risk factors for severe PPH (>1,500 mL).
