Once-weekly semaglutide doubles the five-year risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in a Danish cohort of 424,152 persons with type 2 diabetes by Jakob Grauslund, Andreas Abou Taha, Laleh Dehghani Molander, Ryo Kawasaki, Sören Möller, Kurt Højlund, Lonny Stokholm

“…Abstract Background Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is an untreatable condition often causing severe and irreversible visual loss in the affected eye. As it has recently been implied that the use of semaglutide associates with NAION, the aim of the present study was to evaluate this risk prospectively in all persons with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Denmark. …”

Effects of trigger-day progesterone in c-IVF/ICSI cycles on blastocyst culture outcomes by Yating Sun, Jia Wang, Luyun Zhang, Yanjun Chang, Aizhen Zhu

“…In ICSI cycles, compared with that (28.69%) in the normal level group, the D5 available blastocyst rate (19.13%, adjusted OR, 0.369; 95% CI, 0.194-0.703; P=0.002) in the high level group was significantly decreased.Conclusion(s)This study demonstrated that in the c-IVF/ICSI population, the trigger-day slightly elevated P (1.0-1.5ng/ml) was not related to blastocyst culture outcomes, while the trigger-day elevated P (>1.5ng/ml) was an important factor affecting D5 available blastocyst rate, especially when the woman was younger than 35 years old or insemination type was ICSI.…”

Linking altered neuronal and synaptic properties to nicotinic receptor Alpha5 subunit gene dysfunction: a translational investigation in rat mPFC and human cortical layer 6 by Danqing Yang, Guanxiao Qi, Daniel Delev, Uwe Maskos, Dirk Feldmeyer

“…Additionally, galantamine functioned as a positive allosteric modulator of α5*nAChRs in RS neurons, both in rat and human cortical L6, but did not affect burst spiking (BS) neurons. Our findings suggest that dysfunction in the α5 subunit gene leads to aberrant neuronal and synaptic properties, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of cognitive deficits observed in human populations carrying α5SNPs. …”
