Higher levels of #inflammation in patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery predicts poorer weight loss 6 months afterwards, new research shows.
The study was funded by @NIHRresearch and led by Prof @MondelliValeria and @AnnaPMcL @KingsIoPPN

ALT Inflammation may influence weight loss surgery outcomes, new study reveals. “Our data showing that increased inflammation predicts lower weight-loss after bariatric surgery suggests that personalised treatments involving approaches that lower inflammation could enable better outcomes after surgery.” Valeria Mondelli, Clinical Professor of Psychoneuroimmunology, King’s IoPPN and BRC Theme Lead, Psychosis and Mood Disorders

Dear friends, the best way to help Ukraine is to contribute here gofundme.com/f/helpukraine. We have already raised over £100,000. I am overwhelmed with your kindness and generosity. As there are no flights I’ll bring medical supplies for Ukrainian hospitals by car.

This article debunking #diet myths is fantastic! 🍕🥑🍦
The same diet will not work the same way for everyone, simply because everyone's metabolism is different.

A fantastic blog by @EttaNettis 🙌
NEW #BLOG!✍️
This week, @EttaNettis returns to talk #depression, #inflammation, and her PhD: "I have learned that a good question to ask yourself — to better understand whether you are going in the right direction — is: how is my work helping others?" inspirethemind.org/blog/mino…
SO HAPPY and relieved to submit my PhD thesis yesterday 🎉
Incredibly grateful for the guidance & support of my wonderful supervisor @MondelliValeria & the @SPILabKCL team

Fantastic working on this paper with my supervisor @MondelliValeria and the @bio_dep team!
Great to have it published 4 days before I finish my PhD! 👩🎓
Our NEW paper out today in @PsychMedJournal showing ⬆️ levels of #inflammation if you are overweight+suffering with #depression than if you have only 1 of these conditions.
Great work by @AnnaPMcL & @bio_dep funded by @wellcometrust @NIHRMaudsleyBRC

My first PhD paper is out today!
We found overweight people with depression are 2.4x more likely to have clinically elevated #inflammation 🔥
This puts them at a high risk for heart disease & diabetes
