  4. Zepbound beats Wegovy for weight loss in first head-to-head trial of blockbuster drugs Zepbound beats Wegovy for weight loss in first head-to-head trial of blockbuster drugs People taking Eli Lilly’s obesity drug, Zepbound, lost nearly 50% more weight than those using rival Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy in the first head-to-head study of the blockbuster medications. Clinical trial participants who took tirzepatide, the drug sold as Zepbound, lost an average of 50 pounds (22.8 kilograms) over 72 weeks, while those who took semaglutide, or Wegovy, lost about 33 pounds (15 kilograms). That’s according to the study funded by Lilly, which was published Sunday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Both drugs are part of a new class of medications that work by mimicking hormones in the gut and brain that regulate appetite and feelings of fullness. But tirzepatide targets two such hormones, known as GLP-1 and GIP, while semaglutide targets GLP-1 alone, said Dr. Louis Aronne, director of the Comprehensive Weight Control Center at Weill Cornell Medicine. “Two drugs together can produce better weight loss,” said Aronne, who led the study and presented the findings Sunday at the European Congress on Obesity in Spain. While tirzepatide won out in what Aronne said many view as “a drag race of efficacy,” both are important tools for treating obesity, which affects about 40% of American adults. “The point of these medications is to improve health,” he said. “The majority of people won’t need the most effective medication.” The trial included 751 people from across the U.S. who were overweight or had obesity and at least one other weight-related health problem, but not diabetes. Participants received weekly injections of the highest tolerated doses of Zepbound, either 10 milligrams or 15 milligrams, or Wegovy, 1.7 milligrams or 2.4 milligrams. By the end of the trial, those who took Zepbound lost about 20% of their body weight on average, compared with a nearly 14% loss for those who took Wegovy. The tirzepatide group trimmed about 7 inches (17.8 centimeters) from their waist circumference, compared to about 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) with semaglutide. In addition, nearly 32% of people taking Zepbound lost at least a quarter of their body weight, compared to about 16% of those taking Wegovy, the study found. Weight loss was about 6% lower in men than in women in both groups, the authors noted. As participants in both groups lost more weight, they saw improvements in health markers such as blood pressure, blood **** and blood sugar levels. More than three-quarters of patients taking both drugs reported at least one side effect, mostly mild to moderate gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea and vomiting. About 6% of participants taking Zepbound left the trial because of adverse events, compared with 8% of those taking semaglutide. The GLP-1 drugs have become increasingly popular, with at least 1 in 8 U.S. adults reporting their use, according to a 2024 survey by KFF, a independent health policy research organization. Zepbound generated $4.9 billion in global sales last year. Wegovy brought in nearly $8.8 billion (58.2 billlion Danish kroner). Access and affordability have limited wider use of the drugs. Tirzepatide and semaglutide were removed recently from a list of drug shortages by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Both manufacturers recently released programs that cut costs to about $500 per month or less, depending on the dose. Other factors can affect access. This week, CVS Health said Wegovy will become the preferred option on its standard formulary, or list of covered drugs, as of July 1. Zepbound will be excluded. It’s important to have a range of drugs to treat a disease as widespread as obesity in the U.S., said Dr. Angela Fitch, chief medical officer of knownwell, an obesity care company. Wegovy has been found to cut the risk of serious heart problems by 20%, she noted. A drug may work well for one patient, but not for others. “We’re going to need to use them all just because we have so many patients who need treatment,” she added. ___ AP Health Writer Tom Murphy in Indianapolis contributed to this report. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

  7. My bowel had to be removed after years of constipation My bowel had to be removed after years of constipation A woman whose bowel had to be removed due to chronic and severe constipation says we should all be more open to talking about basic bodily functions. Kathryn Nicklas, 26, was told for several years that her constipation was caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and she was repeatedly prescribed laxatives. She said embarrassment about her symptoms as a teenager meant she had struggled to advocate for her condition to be taken seriously. Prof Julie Cornish, a leading pelvic health doctor, said many patients required surgery for pelvic health problems but that simpler solutions were possible when symptoms were spotted sooner. Ms Nicklas, who works in north Wales, said before her surgery she was “taking laxatives like they were smarties” but “still struggling to go to the toilet”. “I was forever living in floaty dresses because of the bloating and even bought maternity jeans just to be comfortable,” she said. “If I was able to go [for a ****] it would only be as a result of irrigation or an ******. I’d come home from work and spend an hour on the toilet – I had no life, because I was always uncomfortable.” She added: “On one occasion I didn’t go to the toilet for four weeks and was admitted to hospital. “They said I was so full of ****, everything had just stopped working.” Despite various tests and changes to her diet, no cause was ever found, but years of constipation had a long lasting impact on Ms Nicklas’ pelvic organs – causing pain, ******** bleeding and bloating. Ms Nicklas’ large bowel was removed in 2022. The bloating caused by Ms Nicklas’ constipation meant clothes were often uncomfortable and she resorted to buying maternity jeans [Kathryn Nicklas] As an adult, Ms Nicklas said she advocated for her symptoms to be taken seriously, but as a teenager she said embarrassment about bodily functions had made that more difficult. “Looking back now, why is that such an embarrassing thing? “Why is going to the toilet so embarrassing when it’s just a normal function that everybody does? “Would my constipation have been better if I hadn’t have refused to go to the toilet unless I was at home and my brothers weren’t around and no one could hear me? Because that’s not healthy decision making,” she added. “As a result of the constipation and so many years of it my body’s been affected. “Your pelvic floor gets absolutely destroyed by the fact that you’re constantly trying to go but you can’t go.” Prof Julie Cornish says a better understanding of what is normal, and what are red flag symptoms, would mean symptoms being addressed sooner [BBC] Prof Cornish, a colorectal surgeon, said pelvic health issues affected both men and women. “It is a public health issue that actually we need to be giving information to people at an earlier stage – and it’s not just women and girls, it’s also boys and men because pelvic health issues affect everybody in different ways,” she said. “We’re not just talking about gynaecological bits, we’re talking about the bladder and bowel which can be impacted and that does have a bearing on things like pelvic organ prolapse. “So if you are chronically constipated for many years you are far more likely to develop problems with a prolapse.” The need for better understanding is part of the reason why Prof Cornish set up the Everywoman health festival in Cardiff, which is now in its third year. A thousand tickets will be given free to teenagers this year, with educational sessions planned on menstrual health, pelvic health and knowing basic body parts. Shakira Hassan says half of women over-40 will have a pelvic organ prolapse [BBC] Shakira Hassan, a specialist women’s health physiotherapist, treats a wide range of conditions including pelvic pain, bladder, bowel and prolapse issues, where pelvic organs have lowered out of place. “If you were to examine most women over 40, 50% of those women will actually have a pelvic organ prolapse, so it’s about being able to educate and empower those women to be able to still lead a really normal and well life,” she said. Ms Hassan said stigma was a huge factor, which could be worse in some cultures. “We know that potentially one in three women will experience some ******** incontinence and potentially one in four women will experience some level of faecal incontinence throughout their life. That’s huge numbers – it’s really common.” “Education is key,” said Prof Cornish. “And the difficulty is that whilst there are some people who have that understanding or are able to access that education, you’re essentially disenfranchising a large proportion of the population who may not be able to access it, and they may end up being the patients that I see more of. “You see the inequalities that are out there. “But all of this leads to a massive delay in treatment and usually an increase in the severity of symptoms and treatments needed. “We all have a responsibility for our own health and that is going to be key – it’s not just about off-loading it to the NHS, so I think the more we teach our children, that’s going to empower them to take responsibility going forward.” The Welsh government said: “Health and wellbeing is a mandatory part of the curriculum for Wales and helps learners to understand different factors that affect their physical health. “Our guidance expects children to learn about a range of health conditions that can affect them.” Related stories Source link #bowel #removed #years #constipation Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

  9. Aussie quicks give Darren Lehmann county lift-off Aussie quicks give Darren Lehmann county lift-off Darren Lehmann has enjoyed his first win as Northamptonshire coach in the county championship — with a little bit of help from two *********** quick bowlers, Harry Conway and Liam Guthrie. The two pacemen grabbed half of Lancashire’s wickets between them over the three-day contest at Wantage Road and even the best efforts of another Aussie Marcus Harris, the leading scorer in English cricket this season, wasn’t enough to prevent a 70-run defeat on Sunday. Former Test batter Lehmann has sworn by the efforts of his two *********** recruits, and he was rewarded again as South Australia’s Conway, who took eight wickets on debut in his last match, finished with match figures of 5-84 while Queensland’s Guthrie took 5-106. 32.3 | One brings two. Conway bowls Hurst with a beauty and he has to go for a duck.Lancashire 117/4.Watch live pic.twitter.com/TLqPORqFDI— Northamptonshire CCC (@NorthantsCCC) May 11, 2025 On a pulsating day’s cricket, No.10 Guthrie, who had scored an invaluable 42 in the first innings, played another big part with the bat, notching 18 valuable runs in a ninth-wicket partnership of 81 while big-hitting Ben Sanderson was smashing a 28-ball 65 at the other end. Those runs helped the home side set Lancashire a much tougher target of 236 on a tricky pitch and Guthrie then dismissed both the visiting openers to leave Harris having to try to steer them back on course. The ***********, who scored 121 in the first innings, again looked on course for a seventh score above 50 this season as he moved smoothly on to 43 off 73 ******, with seven fours, only to have a bit of a rush of blood to the head as he tried to hit legspinner Calvin Harrison out of the park and got stumped. 32 | Gone! Harris advances down the track but misses the ball and is stumped by McManus.Lancashire 116/3.Watch live pic.twitter.com/bdaBCKXfIK— Northamptonshire CCC (@NorthantsCCC) May 11, 2025 It was the beginning of the end for Lancashire as Conway bowled Matty Hurst with a beauty and had George Balderson caught behind for another duck, while Harrison ripped through the middle order with figures of 4-32. Guthrie finished the job by dismissing last man Will Williams with Lancs all out for 165. It was enough to push Nothamptonshire up to mid-table in the second division, while Lancashire, who had been tipped for promotion, are rock bottom at the moment. That’s despite Harris’s runs. The 32-year-old now has a total of 749 runs in 10 knocks at an average of 83.22 and his fifth boundary on Sunday made him the first man to hit a hundred fours in county cricket this season. Meanwhile, Glamorgan have confirmed that their ever popular import Marnus Labuschagne will be back to face Northamptonshire this week in Cardiff, as well as playing Middlesex the following week, as he warms up for the World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord’s.

  10. Zepbound beats Wegovy for weight loss in first head-to-head trial of blockbuster drugs Zepbound beats Wegovy for weight loss in first head-to-head trial of blockbuster drugs People taking Eli Lilly’s obesity drug, Zepbound, lost nearly 50% more weight than those using rival Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy in the first head-to-head study of the blockbuster medications.

  14. Under pressure from Farage, *** govt tightens migration Under pressure from Farage, *** govt tightens migration *** Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a salvo of measures to toughen up Britain’s migration system, saying many immigrants will have to wait longer before getting the status they need to claim ********. Starmer’s government – which is due to publish plans for new legislation to reduce immigration on Monday – is under pressure to counter the rise in popularity of Nigel Farage’s right-wing, anti-immigration Reform *** party. Over the weekend, interior minister Yvette Cooper announced plans to restrict skilled worker visas to graduate-level applicants, prevent care sector firms from recruiting abroad and require businesses to increase training for local workers. “Every area of the immigration system, including work, family and study, will be tightened up so we have more control,” Starmer said in a statement. “Enforcement will be tougher than ever and migration numbers will fall.” Under the changes, automatic settlement and citizenship for people who move to Britain will apply after 10 years, up from five years now, although highly skilled workers – such as nurses, doctors, engineers and AI experts – would be fast-tracked. Migrants who are in the *** on visas are typically ineligible for ******** benefits and social housing. The government also said it plans to raise English language requirements to include all adult dependents who will have to show a basic understanding of English. It said the change would help integration and reduce the risks of exploitation. “This is a clean break from the past and will ensure settlement in this country is a privilege that must be earned, not a right,” Starmer said. “And when people come to our country, they should also commit to integration and to learning our language,” he said. The number of European Union migrants to Britain fell sharply after Brexit but new visa rules, a rise in people arriving from Ukraine and Hong Kong and higher net numbers of foreign students led to an overall surge in recent years. Net migration – the number of people coming to Britain minus the number leaving – hit a record 906,000 in the year to June 2023, up from 184,000 who arrived in the same ******* during 2019, when Britain was still in the EU.

  17. Among Michael Burry Stocks with Huge Upside Potential Among Michael Burry Stocks with Huge Upside Potential We recently published a list of 10 Michael Burry Stocks with Huge Upside Potential. In this article, we are going to take a look at where JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD) stands against other Michael Burry stocks with huge upside potential. Michael Burry, founder and manager of Scion Asset Management, is best known for predicting and profiting from the housing bubble’s collapse in the mid-2000s. His bold contrarian bet was famously chronicled in the book and film “The Big Short.” Burry’s investment strategy draws heavily from the rigorous market analysis and principles outlined in Benjamin Graham and David Dodd’s 1934 book “Security Analysis.” The book championed the merits of financial statement analysis, highlighting the importance of intrinsic value and structured investment principles. That said, Burry has never shied away from putting his own distinct stamp on Wall Street’s time-tested principles. By utilizing complex financial tools, such as derivative securities and short-selling, Burry has amassed a fortune, challenging conventional market wisdom. His 2001 Scion Value Fund letter provides a fascinating insight into his contrarian outlook, which prioritizes long-term value over short-term price fluctuations. Burry makes it clear that to achieve significant long-term returns, he is willing to tolerate short-term volatility. He stated: “I will always choose the dollar bill carrying a wildly fluctuating discount rather than the dollar bill selling for a quite stable premium.” He also has no qualms about making significant investments in a few stocks that he believes are undervalued, a tactic the investor employed to strengthen Scion’s holdings at the end of 2024. In the quarter that ended on December 31, 2024 just before DeepSeek’s artificial intelligence breakthrough sparked a $1.3 trillion surge in ******** tech stocks, Michael Burry offloaded some of his investments in the country’s tech stocks. The moves came amid a ******* of high volatility for ******** stocks, when investors appeared to be losing faith in Beijing following the implementation of a stimulus package in late September. The government’s actions triggered a wild rally until early October, though momentum waned due to a property crisis, a poor economic outlook, and dissatisfaction with the scope of fiscal stimulus in the following months. For this article, we examined Scion Asset Management’s Q4 2024 13F filings to list down Michael Burry’s stock picks with the highest upside potential. We ranked the companies in ascending order of their upside potential. These equities are also popular among elite hedge funds. Story Continues Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here). JD.com, Inc. (JD): Among Michael Burry Stocks with Huge Upside Potential A wide and imposing view of a supply chain distribution center, illustrating the company’s technology capabilities. Scion Asset Management’s Q4 Stake: $10.4 million Analyst Upside as of May 9: 47.93% Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 78 JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD) is a leading ******** e-commerce company that focuses on computers and other electronic products, all the while serving as a supply chain-focused technology provider. Using its logistics network, JD.com has established itself as a major player in China’s online retail market. On April 28, Citi analysts revised their outlook for JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD), lowering the price target to $51 from $56 while maintaining a Buy rating on the company’s stock. The adjustment comes after the company’s order volume rose from 5 million to 10 million within a span of merely ten days, showing a strong push into the food delivery market. JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD) announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 on March 6, 2025, indicating strong year-over-year growth in a number of critical areas. The company reported Q4 net revenues of RMB347.0 billion ($147.5 billion), up 13.4% from the same ******* in 2023. Full-year net revenues also came in at RMB1,158.8 billion ($158.8 billion), up 6.8% from the previous year. Patient Capital Opportunity Equity Strategy stated the following regarding JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD) in its Q1 2025 investor letter: “We entered JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD), a leading e-commerce company in China. Unlike competitors in the space, JD focuses on consumer electronics and home appliances supporting strong differentiation and defendable margins. The company has been on a year-long organizational restructuring following its ill-advised venture into the low-cost competitive space where it lacked an advantage. Not only will the company benefit from returning to their roots, but the government has rolled out a trade-in rebate policy for home appliances and consumer electronics further supporting demand. At the same time, the company has been disciplined in terms of spending, creating a margin expansion story as the topline demand improves. With the ******** government increasing their focus on reigniting consumer consumption, we believe JD is well positioned to benefit from increased demand and improving margins. At the same time, the company is returning cash to shareholders via a dividend yield of 3.0%, and a buyback program that has seen 8.1% repurchased in 2024. While the risk of a trade war with China is an overhang on the stock, the company generates the majority of their revenues domestically.” Overall, JD ranks 3rd on our list of Michael Burry stocks with huge upside potential. While we acknowledge the potential for JD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than JD but trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.

  20. Trump Administration Reaches Trade Deal With China in Geneva Trump Administration Reaches Trade Deal With China in Geneva The Trump Administration says it has reached a trade deal with China following a meeting between top officials of both countries in Geneva, Switzerland this weekend. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer did not provide details on the agreement in quotes posted on the White House website, simply saying that talks with ******** officials were “productive” and promising more details on Monday. “It’s important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought. That being said, there was a lot of groundwork that went into these two days,” Greer said. “Just remember why we’re here in the first place — the United States has a massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit, so the President declared a national emergency and imposed tariffs, and we’re confident that the deal we struck with our ******** partners will help us to work toward resolving that national emergency,” he added. In April, Trump declared that “foreign trade and economic practices have created a national emergency” and rolled out a series of tariffs that had been a cornerstone of his 2024 election campaign. China was his biggest target, raising tariff rates to 145% on all goods imported from the Asian country with the exception of electronic goods such as semiconductors. China responded with reciprocal tariffs of 125% on most American goods, effectively starting a trade war that has led to a significant reduction of goods shipped to the U.S.. Officials at the Port of Los Angeles reported a 35% drop in shipments this past week, resulting in a loss of work for hundreds of port workers. Even if the Geneva deal leads to a resumption of normal trade relations between the U.S. and China, it will take several weeks for the impact to be seen in the supply chain, as manufacturers and other businesses have reduced their orders for the coming weeks in anticipation of the tariffs. As for the entertainment industry, ******** officials announced last month that they would “moderately reduce” the number of American-made films approved for release in the country’s theaters in response to Trump’s tariffs. As TheWrap reported, film industry executives believe such reductions would only affect films that were not expected to make a significant amount in China anyway, as interest among ******** audiences in Hollywood films has dropped precipitously since the pandemic in favor of local films like “Ne Zha 2,” which became the first animated film to gross $2 billion at the global box office almost exclusively from local grosses.

  23. Trump set to accept luxury 747 from Qatar to use as Air Force One, ABC News says Trump set to accept luxury 747 from Qatar to use as Air Force One, ABC News says By Joseph Ax (Reuters) -The Trump administration intends to accept a Boeing 747-8 plane as a gift from the Qatari royal family that would then be outfitted to serve as Air Force One, ABC News reported on Sunday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. The luxury plane, which would be one of the most valuable gifts ever received by the U.S. government, would eventually be donated to Donald Trump’s presidential library after he leaves office, ABC said. A new commercial 747-8 costs approximately $400 million. Democrats and good government advocates condemned the reported plan, saying it raised massive ethical and legal concerns. “Nothing says ‘America First’ like Air Force One, brought to you by Qatar,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on X. “It’s not just bribery, it’s premium foreign influence with extra legroom.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report. A Qatari spokesperson, Ali Al-Ansari, told the New York Times that news reports about the gift were “inaccurate” because the possible transfer of the aircraft was still under consideration and “no decision has been made,” the newspaper reported. Trump has expressed frustration at the delays in delivering two new 747-8 aircraft to serve as an updated Air Force One. During his first term, Trump had reached a deal with Boeing to deliver the jets in 2024. A U.S. Air Force official told Congress last week that Boeing had proposed finishing the planes by 2027. Trump toured the Qatari-owned 747-8 in February when it was parked at Palm Beach International Airport in Florida, near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. At the time, the White House said the president did so to get a better understanding of how the updated Air Force One planes would be configured. In a statement, a spokesman for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, a good government organization based in Washington, questioned whether the transfer might violate the Constitution’s ban on U.S. officials accepting gifts from foreign governments absent congressional approval. “This sure looks like a foreign country that the president has personal business dealings in giving the president a $400 million gift right before he meets with their head of state,” the spokesman, Jordan Libowitz, said. Trump is set to visit Qatar during a trip to the Middle East this week. ABC reported, citing sources, that lawyers for the White House counsel’s office and the Department of Justice had prepared an analysis concluding that it would be legal and constitutional for the Defense Department to accept the plane as a gift and later transfer it to Trump’s presidential library.
