Do normal D-dimer levels reliably exclude cerebral sinus thrombosis?
D-dimer measurement is useful in patients with suspected CST. Normal D-dimers make the presence of CST very unlikely.
In this post hoc analysis, exenatide significantly improved a number of cardiovascular risk markers. Continuous exenatide exposure with exenatide once weekly elicited a greater response than did immediate-release exenatide twice daily, generally independent of glycemic improvement and weight loss. Thus, in addition to improving glycemic control, exenatide induced favorable changes in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and decreased systemic inflammation.
