A figure showing the mean percent change in body weight from baseline over time in the full analysis population (all the participants who underwent randomization) during the trial period (the uninterrupted interval from the date of randomization to the date of the participant’s last contact with the trial site).

In the OASIS 4 phase 3 trial, once-daily oral semaglutide at a dose of 25 mg resulted in a greater mean reduction in body weight than placebo in participants with overweight or obesity. Full trial results: nej.md/4nFVWmZ

Physicists from Oxford & Lisbon have simulated a phenomenon that relies on a strange quantum property – that electron-positron pairs can spontaneously form in a vacuum, interact with light & disappear again. The simulation involves three intense laser beams generating a fourth beam from darkness.
