Abstract:

Vascular diseases of the brain due to their high prevalence and severe consequences for the health of the population represent a major medical and social problem. In the structure of cerebrovascular diseases significant weight have chronic forms of vascular lesions of the brain, which in the domestic literature is traditionally treated as a discirculatory encephalopathy. In Uzbekistan the number of sufferers with chronic forms of cerebrovascular diseases is increasing, therefore the urgency of solving this problem in Uzbekistan can be defined as an extreme one, requiring the concentration of efforts of specialists in different fields.

Abstract:

Although rare in childhood, stroke may have a serious impact when it happens in this stage of life. Also, it may be the first sign of a systemic disease. We report 12 cases of patients with stroke treated in the Neuropediatrics Unit of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) from March 1997 to March 2000. All patients, from term infants to 12-year-old children hospitalized in the Pediatrics Unit of HCPA, had clinical suspicion of stroke, which was later confirmed by radiological studies. Patient follow up ranged from 1 to 6 years (mean = 3.4 years). Presenting symptoms were hemiparesis in 9 patients, seizures in 7, deviation of labial commissure in 3, and loss of consciousness in 1. The increase in the number of cases of childhood stroke identified and later confirmed by noninvasive methods had helped in the determination of different ethiologies of stroke: the most frequent being hematologic, cardiac and genetic diseases. However, our study included 6 newborns with stroke whose ethiology was not identified. Seven children with seizures received phenobarbital. Six term infants had neonatal seizures secondary to stroke and restricted to the first 72 hours of life.

Abstract:

Ménière’s disease (MD) is an idiopathic inner ear disease, which is characterized by noise in the ears, periodic attacks of vertigo and the development of sensorineural hearing loss. MD is characterized by endolymphatic hydrops – an increase in the volume of endolymph that fills the membered labyrinth of the inner ear. Currently highlighted subtypes MD. The first subtype meets most often and is characterized by classical manifestations of MD. The second subtype is characterized by the development of sensorineural hearing loss, to which only after a long time are joined by the episodes of dizziness. The third subtype of MD includes family cases of the disease. The fourth and fifth subtypes of MD is observed in patients with migraine and autoimmune diseases. The diagnosis of definite MD is based on the 2 or more spontaneous episodes of vertigo with each lasting 20 minutes to 12 hours, low-to medium-frequency sensorineural hearing loss in one ear, fluctuating aural symptoms (fullness, hearing, tinnitus) located in the affected ear, and lack of data for other reasons for dizziness. There are no effective treatment for auditory disorders MD, therapy is aimed at preventing dizziness attacks. The first line of MD’s therapy includes a dietary salt restriction, the use of betahistine and diuretics. Betahistine (Betaserc) is usually used in a daily dose of 48 mg for 3–6 months to reduce the frequency of vertigo. For long-term treatment, it is convenient to use a betahistine modified-released (Betaserc Long) 48 mg, taken once a day. With the ineffectiveness of conservative therapy, other methods of therapy are possible: intratympanic administration of corticosteroids or gentamicin, labyrinthectomy or vestibular neurectomy. Unfortunately, many patients suffering from BM mistakenly makes a diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, cervical osteochondrosis. Diagnostic errors are usually caused by the fact that the patients with MD are not conducted audiometry, vestibular tests, and the signs of cerebral microangiopathy identified when MRI brain are mistakenly regarded as confirmation of vascular dizziness genesis.

Abstract:

Epilepsy is one of the most actual social problems in modern neurology and psychiatry. According to the results of the domestic and foreign studies, the risk of developing epilepsy increases with age. The increased rate of nervous system vascular and degenerative diseases as well as brain tumors and head injuries in elderly patients is one of the reasons for it. The review is devoted to the development of epilepsy in adults having an active cerebrovascular disease. Epilepsy is the disease with multiple causative factors. Among the etiological factors of epilepsy development in adults, the predominant place belongs to vascular diseases. The article presents the epidemiological aspects of the problem, the questions of pathophysiology, the variability of epileptic syndromes developing as a result of ischemic brain disease. It describes the characteristics of epileptic process as a result of a vascular lesion. The role of the cerebrovascular reactivity in brain vascular diseases development is described. A place of different research methods (such as electroencephalography, transcranial and extracranial duplex ultrasonography scanning of the major brain vessels, different modes of magnetic resonance imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy) in identifying risk factors for seizures in patients with cerebrovascular pathology is reported. Possible exogenous and endogenous precipitants (cerebral atherosclerotic vascular disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular deregulation, increased convulsive predisposition, the external epileptic triggers, etc.) are described.

Abstract:

Abstract Variable platelet response to aspirin and clopidogrel is a well-known phenomenon in patients with coronary artery disease and ischemic cerebral stroke. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the frequency and possible risk factors of antiplatelet resistance in patients with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. The VerifyNow system was used to evaluate adenosine-5-diphosphate and platelet P2YI2 receptor function in patients with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease, who received dual antiplatelet therapy. Aspirin resistance was defined as aspirin reaction units (ARU) ≥ 550. Clopidogrel resistance was defined as Platelet Reaction Units (PRU) > 230. In the group of cerebrovascular diseases there were 13.2% (n = 27) patients with aspirin and 24.5% (n = 50) with clopidogrel resistance. However, in the cardiovascular group there were 20% (n = 9) aspirin and 11.1% (n = 5) clopidogrel resistant patients. In the cerebrovascular group, aspirin resistant patients had a lower triglyceride level (p = 0.001, r = 0.26) than aspirin sensitive patients. Clopidogrel resistant patients had a significantly higher level of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) (p = 0.016, r = 023), triglycerides (p = 0.033, r = 0.16) and lower level of high-density lipoproteins (p = 0.027, r = 0.16) than clopidogrel sensitive patients. In the cardiovascular group, patients who were resistant to aspirin had a significantly higher high-density lipoprotein level (p = 0.038, r = 0.31). No other factors differed significantly between the aspirin or clopidogrel resistant and sensitive patients in the cardiovascular group. Aspirin resistance was more common in patients with cardiovascular disease, and clopidogrel resistance in patients with cerebrovascular disease, although the difference was not significant. Our findings indicate that diabetes mellitus and an elevated level of lipoproteins could be risk factors for aspirin or clopidogrel resistance in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. Further studies should be conducted using larger patient cohorts with balanced groups of patients to investigate clinical aspects of antiplatelet resistance.

Abstract:

Auditory dysfunction is a common clinical symptom that can induce profound effects on the quality of life of those affected. Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is the most prevalent neurological disorder today, but it has generally been considered a rare cause of auditory dysfunction. However, a substantial proportion of patients with stroke might have auditory dysfunction that has been underestimated due to difficulties with evaluation. The present study reviews relationships between auditory dysfunction and types of CVD including cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebrovascular malformation, moyamoya disease, and superficial siderosis. Recent advances in the etiology, anatomy, and strategies to diagnose and treat these conditions are described. The numbers of patients with CVD accompanied by auditory dysfunction will increase as the population ages. Cerebrovascular diseases often include the auditory system, resulting in various types of auditory dysfunctions, such as unilateral or bilateral deafness, cortical deafness, pure word deafness, auditory agnosia, and auditory hallucinations, some of which are subtle and can only be detected by precise psychoacoustic and electrophysiological testing. The contribution of CVD to auditory dysfunction needs to be understood because CVD can be fatal if overlooked.

Abstract:

The aim of these studies was to investigate the contributions of neural and peripheral factors to the increased resistance to movement and loss of function commonly observed following stroke. Three studies were undertaken to investigate the stiffness of the calf muscles in stroke subjects. Under relaxed conditions, neural factors such as spasticity and peripheral factors such as contracture and thixotropy were investigated. Under active conditions, the contribution of the tonic stretch reﬂex to functional movement, in this case walking, was investigated. These ﬁndings were compared to results retained from neurologically-normal subjects. The clinical measurements of spasticity (Ashworth Scale and tendon jerk) were collected and the laboratory measurement (tonic stretch reﬂex) was measured in all studies. Clinical measurements of spasticity were performed to describe the stroke subjects clinically, whereas the laboratory measurement, ie, the measurement of the tonic stretch reﬂex recording EMG during sinusoidal stretching, was performed to provide a quantitative benchmark of spasticity in the gastrocnemius muscle. Measurement of the tonic stretch reﬂex was chosen because EMG can differentiate the neural and the peripheral contributions. Under relaxed conditions, it was found that most stroke subjects exhibited resting tonic stretch reﬂexes, indicating the presence of spasticity. Stroke subjects also exhibited a thixotropic response which was within the range of normal responses. Some stroke subjects displayed muscle contracture. When the contributions of these various factors to stiffness were examined, contracture appeared to make the most significant contribution to the increased resistance to movement. Under active conditions, the contribution of spasticity to walking dysfunction following stroke was investigated in a group of ambulant stroke subjects. The tonic stretch reﬂex was investigated under active conditions which mimicked the movement of the ankle joint during walking. Stroke subjects exhibited a smaller action tonic stretch reﬂex compared with normal subjects, and this ﬁnding was not statistically different. It was suggested that rather than exhibiting an ‘out of control’ tonic stretch reﬂex, stroke subjects had an impaired modulation of the tonic stretch reﬂex. Also, the action tonic stretch reﬂex of stroke subjects did not contribute as much as that of normal subjects to the resistance of calf muscles under active conditions. Therefore, it is suggested that an abnormal tonic stretch reﬂex does not routinely contribute to walking dysfunction following stroke. Furthermore, when the modulation of the tonic stretch reﬂex was measured at pre-ambulatory and ambulatory stages after early stroke, it was found that an improvement in function of the ankle joint was not accompanied by an ability to modulate the tonic stretch reﬂex in the gastrocnemius muscle. Finally, a relation between the clinical and laboratory measurements of spasticity was found only for the tests of resistance to movement, but not for the tests of reﬂex activity. These ﬁndings suggested that clinical tests cannot adequately quantify spasticity, and that the resistance felt during passive movement cannot be differentiated using a clinical grading test such as the Ashworth Scale. These studies add to the growing body of evidence that spasticity is not the major problem interfering with functional tasks after stroke. Therefore, it is not important to routinely reduce spasticity for the purpose of improvement in function. However, the need to prevent and/or minimise muscle contracture is essential in order to avoid the increase in passive stiffness which accompanies the contracture.

Abstract:

In recent years measurements of cerebral perfusion using bolus-tracking MRI have become common clinical practice in the diagnosis and management of patients with stroke and cerebrovascular disease. An active area of research is the development of methods to identify brain tissue that is at risk of irreversible damage, but amenable to salvage using reperfusion treatments, such as thrombolysis. However, the specificity and sensitivity of these methods are limited by the inaccuracies in the perfusion data. Accurate measurements of perfusion are difficult to obtain, especially in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. In particular, if the bolus of MR contrast is delayed and/or dispersed due to cerebral arterial abnormalities, perfusion is likely to be underestimated using the standard analysis techniques. The potential for such underestimation is often overlooked when using the perfusion maps to assess stroke patients. Since thrombolysis can increase the risk of haemorrhage, a misidentification of 'at-risk' tissue has potentially dangerous clinical implications. This thesis presents several methodologies which aim to improve the accuracy and interpretation of the analysed bolus-tracking data. Two novel data analysis techniques are proposed, which enable the identification of brain regions where delay and dispersion of the bolus are likely to bias the perfusion measurements. In this way true hypoperfusion can be distinguished from erroneously low perfusion estimates. The size of the perfusion measurement errors are investigated in vivo, and a parameterised characterisation of the bolus delay and dispersion is obtained. Such information is valuable for the interpretation of in vivo data, and for further investigation into the effects of abnormal vasculature on perfusion estimates. Finally, methodology is presented to minimise the perfusion measurement errors prevalent in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. The in vivo application of this method highlights the dangers of interpreting perfusion values independently of the bolus delay and dispersion.

Abstract:

This investigation explored the relationship of demographic, social network, social support, and stroke-related factors to depressive symptomatology and well-being in 50 elderly individuals who had recently suffered a first, completed stroke and their partners. Data were gathered at two points in time, with interviews scheduled six months apart. Outcome measures included the CES-D depression scale and the Index of Psychological Well-Being. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlational procedures, multiple regression, and change-focused regression analyses. For the caregivers, lower depression levels at Time 1 were associated with better subjective health, less concern about being able to care for the patient in the future, higher levels of patient ADL functioning, greater perceived pre-stroke instrumental support, and greater patient optimism. At Time 2, lower caregiver depression scores were associated with lower levels of perceived burden, fewer health problems or negative changes in health status, fewer negative network interactions, greater network density, greater frequency of network contacts, and fewer perceived personality and behavior changes in the patient. Best predictors of depression score for the caregivers at Time 1 were subjective health rating, the patient's level of ADL functioning, degree of concern about ability to care for the patient in the future, the proportion of the network providing instrumental support, and the percent of reciprocal confiding relationships reported. At Time 2, best predictors of depression were level of perceived caregiver burden, objective health score, and network density. The best predictor of caregiver depression level over time was Time 1 depression level. Perceived caregiver burden was also a strong predictor of depression score. For the patients, higher depression scores at Time 1 were associated with whether they felt they could have done anything to prevent the stroke, higher levels of concern about their partner's ability to care for them in the future, and greater reported frequency of pre-stroke disagreement with their partners. At Time 2, higher levels of depressive symptomatology were associated with decreased satisfaction with amount of social contact, a greater proportion of friends in the post-stroke network, a greater degree of perceived negative health change, and change in employment status.

Abstract:

Context: Moyamoya disease or chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease is characterized by proximal occlusion of the internal carotid artery and its branches bilaterally, generating an angiographic “smoke” pattern (moyamoya, from Japanese “something hazy”) and by diverse ischemic manifestations. Case report: The sample consists of three female patients, aged between 13 and 46 years, followed in our service due to the diagnosis of Moyamoya Disease. Among the clinical manifestations presented, ischemic cerebrovascular events with neurological deficit predominated, and one of the patients presented two episodes compatible with stroke and one episode compatible with transient ischemic accident. The youngest patient presented with a choreic picture initially interpreted as Sydenham’s chorea. Although the gold standard for the diagnosis of chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease is cerebral arterial angiography, it was possible to observe a pattern compatible with the disease in other modalities of examination, such as cerebral arterial angiotomography and cerebral arterial angioresonance. From the therapeutic point of view, one of the patients underwent surgical intervention (encephaloduromyosinangiosis), with improvement of symptoms after treatment. Conclusions: In this paper, we emphasize the importance of complementary imaging tests in the evaluation of patients with cerebrovascular syndromes and the diversity of clinical presentation of Moyamoya disease.

Abstract:

Background: Until the 70s, cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) were neglected to the lack of resources. However, due to the advancement of technology, several imaging tests have appeared, such as magnetic resonance and computed tomography, which facilitated the diagnosis and the understanding of the pathophysiology of each disease. Objectives: The objective of this work is to identify the main CVDs signs and symptoms. Methods: An integrative literature review was carried out based on selected articles from Google Scholar, PubMed and SciELO, using the terms headache, cerebrovascular disease, neurology. Results: CVDs are characterized by causing damage to brain vessels, due to changes in blood flow momentarily or permanently in an area of the brain, allowing them to be classified as ischemic or hemorrhagic. In ischemic there is a blockage of blood flow and, consequently, of oxygen to areas of the brain, in hemorrhagic rupture of a vessel occurs and, with this, blood leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the signs and symptoms early, in order to prevent loss of neurological function, movements on one side of the body and the presence or absence of headaches in both patients, with ischemic CVD and hemorrhagic CVD prevent rapid loss of consciousness accompanied by severe headache. Such signs and symptoms associated with the patient’s family history and lifestyle can help in the diagnosis of this disease. Conclusion: Therefore, it is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of CVDs, in order to determine the treatment and advise the patient, which will guarantee a better prognosis.

Abstract:

Background: Currently, the world is facing a pandemic caused by the SARSCoV-2, which has already infected millions of people and has accumulated countless deaths. Association has been reported between severe conditions of this disease and the occurrence of neurological manifestations, including stroke. The mechanisms that trigger this cerebrovascular disease in infected people are not defined yet, but it’s believed that they involve inflammatory reaction, vascular endothelial dysfunction and hypercoagulopathy present in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Objectives: Verify the studies which relate the cerebrovascular disorders caused by the infection of SARS-CoV-2, in order to elucidate its performance and determine the patient’s management as a way to avoid outcomes such as stroke and other neurological conditions losses. Methods: The subject is approached through a narrative review of the literature without meta-analysis. A bibliographic survey was made out, from December 2019 to June 2020, in digital databases. Results: The relation between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes with coronavirus infection shows a possible mechanism of action of the virus related to ACE2, damaging tissues, including the brain. In addition, a huge relation has been identified between coagulopathy induced by the infectious condition and the occurrence of stroke, since the intense inflammatory storm produced raises the risks of occurrence of cerebrovascular events. Conclusions: The activity of this coronavirus against ACE2 has been shown to increase the secretion of pro-inflammatory substances, causing brain damage. Although this is a new disease, it’s possible to establish the stroke as a complication of COVID-19. It should be considered, especially in critically ill patients, and promptly assisted.

Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus is still a very common disease in the world and affects the daily lives of patients negatively. Diabetes is also known to be associated with neurological diseases such as peripheral nerve diseases, stroke and dementia. Among these, the most common disease is a peripheral nerve disease, and it has been reported that poor diabetic control increases the risk of development and can be prevented by education of the patients. Vascular dementia is more common in patients with diabetes than Alzheimer's disease, and it is thought that cerebrovascular diseases may berelated to cognitive impairment in diabetes. Although the mechanisms by which diabetes affects the brain are not clearly revealed, it is thought that changes in vascular structure, insulin resistance, glucose toxicity, oxidative stress, accumulation of glycation end products, hypoglycemic episodes and amyloid metabolism are effective.The aim of this article is to describe the neurological complications of diabetes and to emphasize the importance of patient education, good diabetes control and early diagnosis in preventing these complications.

Abstract:

Introduction: Covid-19 is characterized by respiratory syndrome and has symptoms that affect the central nervous system such as headache, anosmia, hypercoagulability, etc. In this sense, it is known that the virus shows tropism by the receptors of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), becoming a gateway to the neurological system, which can cause complications. Is to relate the infection by COVID-19 and the increase in cerebrovascular diseases. Methods: A literature review was carried out using search for scientific articles in PubMed, in April / 2021, with a filter in the last 5 years, using the descriptors “Covid”, “Cerebrovascular Diseases” and “Man” associated with the Boolean operator AND. Results: 53 articles were found, of which 19 were selected for research. There is a higher frequency of neurological symptoms in patients with COVID-19 than in patients without the disease. The effect of binding the virus to ACE2 receptors is to activate a cascade of cytokines, which tends to lead to serious complications. For this reason, severe coagulopathies can be caused, increasing products of the degradation of C-reactive protein, D Dimer, fibrinogen and thrombocytopenia. The increase in cerebrovascular events also occurs because the antithrombotic, neuroprotective, antihypertensive effects, among others, of the alternative renin-angiotensin system in the brain are interrupted due to COVID-19. Conclusion: It was seen that cerebrovascular events are related to the course of COVID-19, in which patients may develop several serious complications, such as encephalitis, strokes and vascular thrombosis. Thus, the pathophysiology of this disease is related to an inflammatory process.

Abstract:

Background: The world is experiencing a pandemic caused by COVID-19, which has already led to the death of 3.5 million individuals. In this context, the scientific community has made several discoveries, above all, that COVID-19 can promote other disorders, in addition to respiratory, such as the impairment of the nervous system. Objectives: To analyze the main neurological changes resulting from the infection by COVID-19. Design and setting: Cross-sectional observational study. Methods: Literature review with articles published in 2020, in journals indexed in the PubMed and Scielo databases, using the descriptors “Neurologic Manifestations” AND “covid-19, including articles in Portuguese and English. Results: Neurological symptoms have become increasingly recurrent in patients with COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 reaches the Central Nervous System (CNS) through hematogenous or retrograde neuronal dissemination. Peripheral neuropathies and cerebrovascular events are associated with the severity of the disease. The elevation of D-dimer in critically ill patients triggers cerebrovasculares events, especially the development of ischemic stroke (stroke), which becomes more evident due to its risk factors. Changes in mental status are not limited to severe cases, and can occur at any stage of the disease, especially neuropsychiatric syndromes, such as anxiety, depression and post- traumatic stress. Conclusion: COVID-19, in an advanced stage, promotes peripheral neuropathies and cerebrovascular events. Furthermore, regardless of the severity stage, it can lead to changes in mental status.

Abstract:

Introduction: Since the beginning of the pandemic in December 2019, COVID-19 caused by the infection of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), in addition to the clinical manifestations already, can develop changes in the rate of blood clotting, where there are already notifications of Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) associated with the virus. Objective: To know the characteristics of patients with COVID-19 affected by CVA, documented in the scientific literature. Method: A systematic literature review was carried out, using the MeSH Brower platform descriptors, namely: Stroke and Coronavirus, with an AND expression. The articles were searched in scientific databases: PubMed, MEDLINE Complete and SCIELO. 217 studies were found, of which 04 publications were included in this research. Results: Parallel studies on patient characteristics: elderly, male and comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and obesity, all risk factors for stroke. However, there were cases of young patients affected by CVA after the diagnosis of COVID-19. With regard to neurological changes, the researched articles state that most patients have symptoms such as deviation of the labial commissure on the right, dysarthria, aphasia, hemiplegia and hemianesthesia on the left. Conclusion: Although this incidence is not known, CVA is emerging as a complication of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this sense, further studies on the subject are necessary, since the elucidation of thrombotic mechanisms in patients with COVID- 19 can generate complications to prevent complications such as Cerebrovascular Accident.

Abstract:

Context: Sneddon’s Syndrome is a small and medium caliber arteries vasculopathy, characterized by concomitant occurrence of cerebrovascular disease and livedo reticularis. It’s a rare disorder, more prevalent in women. In up to 80% of cases, positive antiphospholipid’s antibodies are found. Case report: A 28-year-old woman was admitted to Hospital das ClínicasUFTM on May 21th, 2020, referred under suspicion of stroke with ictus on May 19th, 2020. The exam revealed left hemiparesis, anomic afasia and livedo reticularis on her thighs and thorax. She denied having comorbidities or previous episodes of thromboembolism. She had taken combined oral contraceptive for eleven years, having changed medication a year ago. In the cranial angioresonance exam, acute ischemia was confirmed in addition to moderate microangiopathy and an area of encephalomalacia. In the etiological investigation, HEP-2 positive antibody (antinuclear factor in a fine dotted nuclear pattern) was detected. She was discharged with a prescription of 100 mg of acetylsalicylic acid daily, maintained as a form of secondary prophylaxis. Conclusions: The case illustrates the importance of a thorough physical examination and anamnesis in cerebrovascular disease patients, in order to get a accurate aetiological diagnosis of these diseases, enabling a more effective prognostic evaluation and secondary prophylaxis.

Abstract:

Review question / Objective: We aim to assess the antidepressant effects of statin therapy among patients complicated with moderate to severe depression. Condition being studied: Depression is one of the major causes of disability worldwide, and major depressive disorders (MDD) contribute to a significant heavy disease burden, which is expected to be second by 2050, only to heart disease. Despite great improvement in therapy, the treatment efficacy remains low. Therefore, alternative therapies have been intensely investigated. A substantial body of researches have suggested that inflammation is one of the operative pathways between MDD and increased risk of somatic comorbidities, and some specific depressive symptoms. Depression occurs in most patients with cardiac and cerebrovascular disease due to the long-term effects, and depression increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in the population as a whole and in patients with coronary artery disease or stroke. Several observational studies have demonstrated reduced rates of depression among patients taking statins, which may be related to its anti-inflammatory effect. However, whether statin improves the depressive symptoms and its associated mechanism is still mixed. Furthermore, there is little evidence about statin treatment effect in those with moderate to severe depression. In addition, whether the effect of statin treatment on depressive symptom changes with time or is affected by baseline depression severity or percentage change of lipid levels has not been explored in previous studies.
