New research shows that semaglutide, the compound in the weight-loss drug Wegovy, could treat an increasingly common liver disease.The study, published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, included 800 adults with a severe form of liver disease known as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, or MASH.

Innovative is not a word I would use to describe the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s design. I have never been quiet about my dislike of the watch’s hardware, wishing it was more “premium” looking like we see from the competition (Apple Watch Ultra), instead of a honking G-Shock-like wearable that tried to copy, albeit rather badly, what Apple has already done. The main point being, even a watch designed for rugged usage can be sleek and sexy. During a recent earnings call, Samsung teased an upcoming Galaxy Watch with “innovative design.” That’s all we got, but it does make us excited…
NEW YORK — Like all brides, Elana Goldin had high hopes for her wedding photos and video.“I loved their images,” she said of the company picked by her dad and future mother-in-law. “They were award-winning.
