Multivariate spatio-temporal modelling for assessing Antarctica's present-day contribution to sea-level rise
Antarctica is the world's largest fresh-water reservoir, with the potential to raise sea levels by about 60m. An ice sheet contributes to sea-level rise (SLR) when its rate of ice discharge and/or surface melting exceeds...
Association between a functional interleukin 6 receptor genetic variant and risk of depression and psychosis in a population-based birth cohort.
OBJECTIVE: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels are commonly elevated in patients with depression and psychosis and in people who are at risk of developing these disorders. A common, functional variant in the IL6R gene (IL6R Asp358Ala;...

Dysglycaemia, Inflammation and Psychosis
Benjamin Ian Perry, Rachel Upthegrove, Andrew Thompson, Steven Marwaha, Stanley Zammit, Swaran Preet Singh, Golam Khandaker
Jun 05, 2018
BACKGROUND: Psychosis is associated with both dysglycaemia and low-grade inflammation, but population-based studies investigating the interplay between these factors are scarce. AIMS: (1) To explore the direction of association...
Common mechanisms for type 2 diabetes and psychosis
Benjamin I Perry, Hannah J Jones, Tom G Richardson, Stan Zammit, Nicholas J Wareham, Glyn Lewis, Peter B Jones, Golam M Khandaker
Aug 13, 2020
BACKGROUND: Psychosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are commonly comorbid and may share pathophysiologic mechanisms. To investigate shared genetic variation and inflammation as potential common mechanisms, we tested: (i)...
