L-carnitine treatment for congestive heart failure--experimental and clinical study
From microneedles to nanocarriers, researchers are rethinking how GLP-1 medicines could become longer-lasting, easier to tolerate, and more patient-friendly, while cautioning that many next-generation systems remain years from routine clinical use

NICE guidance emphasises that pharmacological interventions for weight management should be accompanied by appropriate dietary modification and increased physical activity
