Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how psychiatric disorders (PD) and weight loss change over time after Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS), analyzing data from participants up to 9 years post-surgery.
- Conducted over nine years with 142 participants (mainly women), it found that mood and anxiety disorders increased by 32% after surgery, but the percentage of excess weight lost (%EWL) remained stable up to two years before declining slightly.
- Despite the prevalence of psychiatric disorders after MBS, these had no significant effect on the participants’ ability to maintain weight loss, highlighting the need for ongoing support for mental health in this population.

April 2022
Background: Depression, anxiety, and binge eating are common psychiatric symptoms among people with obesity. Although many studies seek to understand the mechanisms of association between these psychiatric symptoms, there is no still consensus about the longitudinal association.
Methods: 155 patients (124 women) were recruited from a university-based bariatric center and evaluated over three waves (T0-T1-T2).
Objective: The objective is to describe the donations made with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a method of preservation to meet the characteristics of the donors and the transplants obtained.
Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study, using the donation registration data made at Virgen de las Nieves Hospital from 2010 to February 2018.
Results: A total of 11 transfers occurred: 2 to the province of Jaen (Jaen Hospital, 92 km from Virgen de las Nieves Hospital; San Agustín Hospital, Linares, 136 km), 1 to Santa Ana Hospital, Motril (68 km), 1 to Poniente Hospital, El Ejido, Almeria (137 km), and 7 trips within the city of Granada.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extracellular amyloid plaque and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Studies have shown that neurons are able to re-enter the cell cycle, but not enough to enable full replication. This leads to cell death and consequent neurodegeneration.

Objective: This study sought to quantify mRNA expression of the APBA2, INSR and IDE genes in brain samples from patients with AD and controls.
Methods: We investigated the mRNA expression of the APBA2, INSR and IDE genes in 150 RNA samples from entorhinal cortex, auditory cortex, and the hippocampus of individuals with AD and elderly controls using real time PCR.
