Experts analyzed data from 61,377 T2DM patients to compare non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) risk between those starting semaglutide versus sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is). NAION incidence rates were higher among semaglutide users. The pooled adjusted hazard ratio for NAION with semaglutide was 2.81. They concluded that despite the increased risk of NAOIN, the absolute risk remains low.

A recent study highlights the utility of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in assessing right atrial mechanics in OSAHS. Progressive reductions in reservoir and conduit strain, coupled with elevated contraction strain, signal early right heart remodeling correlated with apnea severity.

A premature neonate developed upper limb compartment syndrome after uterine rupture extruded the arm through a scar defect. Conservative management with continuous monitoring yielded complete functional recovery and normal limb growth at 10-year follow-up, highlighting non-operative safety in selected cases.
