These dysregulations were observed independently of weight gain and treatment duration, the investigators reported. Results of the systematic review and meta-analysis were published online Aug. 27, 2025, in JAMA Psychiatry.
Women with opioid use disorder (OUD) who initiated buprenorphine treatment early in pregnancy discontinued the medication at a higher rate than women who initiated methadone, a cohort study based on public insurance data found.

Thirty weeks of treatment with the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist semaglutide was more effective than placebo in lowering blood glucose and weight in patients with schizophrenia, prediabetes and obesity, a study has found.
