Mumbai docs save woman from severe complications after bariatric surgery

Doctors at a Mumbai hospital have successfully treated a 49-year-old woman, who developed severe, life-threatening complications following bariatric surgery.  In a critical condition, Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre`s team stepped in to perform a high-risk corrective surgery to give her a new lease of life.  In February 2025, the patient underwent bariatric surgery in Ahmedabad.

Her recovery was further complicated by acute kidney injury (sudden kidney failure) and a c...

Here`s why obesity affects people differently

Ever wondered why some people with obesity remain relatively healthy while others develop serious conditions like diabetes and heart disease? Genetic differences may be the reason, according to a study.  An international team of researchers led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark analysed genetic data from 452,768 people and discovered variants in 205 regions of the genome linked to higher body fat but better metabolic health. Using these discoveries, they developed a genetic risk score that adds up the impact of these variants. Individuals with higher scores were more likely to develop obesity -- but were less likely to suffer from complications such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or heart disease.
