To clarify this point, we studied 386 consecutive patients affected by autoimmune thyroiditis diagnosed within the previous 3 years: 193 patients (170 female and 23 males, age range 57.5±12.8, Group 1) were treated with L-thyro...

Background: Erectile dysfunction affects nearly half of men with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and one-third of diabetic men have hypogonadism1. As an add-on to TRT in hypogonadal men with T2DM, Liraglutide may improve erectile function2, and dulaglutide decreased the incidence of moderate and severe ED in T2DM3.Study aims: To assess the GLP-1RA effect in T2DM men complaining of ED treated with both liraglutide and dulaglutide ...

Tirzepatide, a once-weekly dual co-agonist of Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) and Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptors, has been demonstrated to improve glucose control and reduced body weight in different therapeutic approaches. With this rapid review and meta-analysis, we systematically reviewed the efficacy and safety of injectable incretin-based therapy added to basal insulin compared to basal insulin plus background treatments titrated rigorously t...
