Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog, is approved for obesity treatment, but the specific neuronal sites that contribute to its therapeutic effects remain elusive. Here, we show that GLP-1 receptor–positive (GLP-1R–positive) neurons in the lateral septum (LSGLP-1R) play a critical role in mediating the anorectic and weight-loss effects of liraglutide.

Salivary gland dysfunction is a common side effect of cancer treatments. Salivary function plays key roles in critical daily activities. Consequently, changes in salivary function can profoundly impair quality of life for cancer patients. We discuss salivary gland anatomy and physiology to understand how anticancer therapies such as chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy impair salivary function.

Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent and complex condition that demands precise and efficient management. This paper delves into a critical, yet often under-recognised, challenge in HF care – the accurate coding of patients on HF registers. We explore how discrepancies in coding, including missing patients and incorrect HF type classifications, can significantly impact patient management.

After the introduction of statins in 1987 and the publication of the landmark Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Trial in 1996, extraordinarily robust evidence has accumulated demonstrating that lowering levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with a major reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Determining how the reduction in LDL-C results in these benefits has been the subject of intense scientific interest during the last 4 decades.
