In patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who underwent intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), researchers identified an inverse U-shaped association between uric acid (UA) levels and favorable outcomes at 3 months post-IVT. Elevated UA levels were predictive of positive outcomes in individuals without hyperuricemia but correlated with negative outcomes in those with hyperuricemia.

In coronary artery disease patients, those with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) had more retinal ischemic perivascular lesions (RIPLs) compared to those without (59.3% vs. 35.7%). Even after adjusting for various factors including age, gender, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and BMI, the presence of RIPLs was strongly associated with MI (OR: 3, p<0.001).

- A systematic review & a real-world meta-analysis of 13 studies showed that SGLT2i + GLP-1RA reduced all-cause mortality (OR:0.49, p<0.00001) vs. monotherapy in T2DM patients
- The combination significantly improved BMI (-1.71), SBP (-6.35 mmHg), HbA1c (-1.48%) & FPG (-2.27)
- The combination suggests potential for earlier intervention & improved CV, renal, & glycemic outcomes in T2DM patients

- Over 90% of patients achieved complete acne remission with an average treatment duration of 13.5 months; Severe acne took longer to clear (112 days) compared to mild/moderate (74-84 days)
- 1 year after treatment, 10.6% of patients experienced acne relapse, with no significant increase in severity
- Some patients developed elevated cholesterol, triglycerides, and liver enzymes, none were severe (grade 2 or above...
