Abstract

BACKGROUND Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common chronic liver condition often associated with obesity and diabetes. Empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, is an antidiabetic medication that improves glycemic control, insulin resistance, and body weight. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of empagliflozin in adults with MAFLD. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed using the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Wiley Online Library databases. Randomized controlled trials assessing liver function, lipid profile, metabolic profile, and body composition were included. Weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects models, and study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool for Randomized Trials. RESULTS 6 RCTs with a total of 636 participants were analyzed. Empagliflozin significantly reduced alanine aminotransferase levels (WMD: –6.65 IU/l, 95% CI: –13.02 to –0.28; p = 0.04) and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels (WMD: −10.60 IU/l, 95% CI: −29.05 to −7.68; p<0.00001). A non-significant reduction in aspartate aminotransferase was observed (WMD: –4.69 IU/l, 95% CI: –9.89 to 0.51; p = 0.08). Empagliflozin significantly improved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.02) and total cholesterol (p = 0.05) levels but did not significantly affect triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, metabolic profiles, or body composition. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis highlights the beneficial effects of empagliflozin on liver function and indicates the need for further research on its metabolic effects and long-term outcomes in managing MAFLD.

Abstract

Severe Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) can cause serious lung inflammation and death. COVID-19 is characterized by a high mortality rate. This severity is associated with the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines called "cytokine storms". One of the cytokines that play a central role is Interleukin-6 (IL-6). High IL-6 levels are associated with mortality. Expectedly, the IL-6 blockade could reduce cytokine storms and thus reduce deaths in severe COVID-19 patients. This systematic review aimed to summarize the comparison between mortality using anti-IL-6 therapy and mortality using standard treatment in severe COVID-19 patients. We systematically searched the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases until 13 August 2020. After screening, twelve studies matched the inclusion criteria. The mortality of the anti-IL-6 therapy group was lower than the standard treatment group without anti-IL-6 therapy in COVID-19 patients in 10 of the 12 studies obtained. Four of the ten studies statistically found a significant difference in mortality of the anti-IL-6 therapy group and the standard treatment group. Confirmation of anti-IL-6 therapy effectiveness in reducing mortality in severe COVID-19 patients will require randomized controlled trials.

Abstract

Introduction. Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a serious but potentially preventable condition. Its symptoms include hematemesis, hematochezia, and melena. Risk factors for GIB include medications such as antiplatelets and anticoagulants, which are standard treatments for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). GIB is strongly associated with ACS and represents the most common bleeding complication in these patients. This study aimed to systematically review the factors contributing to GIB in patients with ACS. Methods. Relevant articles were retrieved from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer, and EBSCO databases, covering studies on GIB risk factors in ACS patients published between March 31, 2003, and March 31, 2025. The search was conducted using specific keywords and Boolean operators. Data were then extracted and comprehensively evaluated. Results. A total of 17 studies were included, with varied patient populations, including general ACS patients, as well as those specifically diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The follow-up periods ranged widely, from 15 days to 4 years. Based on the initial evaluation, 23 potential risk factors were identified. GIB was more likely to occur in older individuals, females, and those with a history of smoking and alcohol consumption. Comorbidities, including anemia, diabetes, peptic ulcer disease, cirrhosis, and chronic kidney disease, were also more frequently observed among ACS patients with GIB events. The use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) was identified as the only protective factor. Conclusion. This systematic review identified several risk factors associated with GIB in ACS patients. Careful monitoring and appropriate management should be implemented in patients with these risk factors to prevent bleeding events, which may be fatal.
