Parathyroidectomy reduces MACE risk in primary hyperparathyroidism
In patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), parathyroidectomy significantly reduces the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a population-wide target trial emulation (TTE) study in Hong Kong has shown.

NVAMD risk tied to semaglutide no different from other antidiabetes medications
The risk of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD) associated with the use of semaglutide is similar to that with other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) or non-GLP-1 RAs among adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), suggests a study.

Weight loss lowers MACE, T2D risks in women, but weight regain reduces benefits
Healthy premenopausal women with overweight who lose weight through diet with or without aerobic or resistance exercise show a significant reduction in the risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, such risks have rebounded with weight regain.

Chronic Disease Co-Care Pilot Scheme shows high detection rate, improves cardiometabolic outcomes
Approximately 40 percent of individuals who received screening through the Chronic Disease Co-Care (CDCC) Pilot Scheme were found to have diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN) or prediabetes. Their cardiometabolic outcomes improved following multidisciplinary management.

Depression may elevate CVD and all-cause death risks in patients with T2D
Depression is associated with greater risks of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a population-based mediation analysis of 0.5 million Chinese people has shown.
