Study links semaglutide and tirzepatide to fewer anxiety and depression diagnoses in obesity care

A US electronic health record study found that adults with obesity who started semaglutide or tirzepatide had lower recorded hazards of anxiety and depression than matched patients using naltrexone-bupropion. However, among adults without type 2 diabetes, tirzepatide was linked to higher recorded hazards of anxiety and insomnia than semaglutide, underscoring the need for cautious monitoring.

Experts reframe steatotic liver disease as a dynamic continuum

The classification of steatotic liver disease (SLD) is undergoing a major conceptual transformation. In a recent article published in eGastroenterology, Dr. Chen, Dr. Horn, and Prof. Tacke from Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin argue that metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), metabolic dysfunction and alcohol-associated liver disease (MetALD), and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) should not be regarded as rigid diagnostic categories, but rather as interconnected and evolving disease trajectories.
