A new analysis of the SELECT trial – the largest and longest clinical trial to date examining the cardiovascular benefits of semaglutide (a medication used to support weight loss and diabetes management) – confirms it also lowers the risk of major heart problems in people who are overweight or obese and already have heart disease, even if they don't have diabetes.

Individuals who are physically fit may be better equipped to handle the negative effects of dehydration, according to research from the University of California, Riverside. In a study using selectively bred "high-runner" mice, the scientists found that fitter animals increased their voluntary running activity when deprived of water - a finding that could have implications for human performance and health under environmental stress.

A new approach to PET imaging offers a promising way for physicians to promptly identify patients who are at risk for poor functional recovery after a heart attack, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
