Efficacy and tolerability of pharmacotherapy for post-stroke depression: a network meta-analysis.
Conclusions: Paroxetine is probably the best option to consider for patients with PSD. To get a quicker relief of depression, duloxetine might be useful for its rapid onset of antidepressant action. The tolerability was comparable among all the antidepressants. But more high-quality RCTs are needed. PMID: 29805769 [PubMed]

A risk prediction model for post-stroke depression in Chinese stroke survivors based on clinical and socio-psychological features.
CONCLUSION: This study provided an effective risk model for PSD and indicated that the socio-psychological factors were important risk factors of PSD. PMID: 28446713 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Towards a multi protein and mRNA expression of biological predictive and distinguish model for post stroke depression.
Authors: Yue Y, Jiang H, Liu R, Yin Y, Zhang Y, Liang J, Li S, Wang J, Lu J, Geng D, Wu A, Yuan Y Abstract Previous studies suggest that neurotrophic factors participate in the development of stroke and depression. So we investigated the utility of these biomarkers as predictive and distinguish model for post stroke depression (PSD). 159 individuals including PSD, stroke without depression (Non-PSD), major depressive disorder (MDD) and normal control groups were recruited and examined the protein and mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (V...

Up-regulation of serotonin receptor 2B mRNA and protein in the peri-infarcted area of aged rats and stroke patients.
Authors: Buga AM, Ciobanu O, Bădescu GM, Bogdan C, Weston R, Slevin M, DiNapoli M, Popa-Wagner A Abstract Despite the fact that a high proportion of elderly stroke patients develop mood disorders, the mechanisms underlying late-onset neuropsychiatric and neurocognitive symptoms have so far received little attention in the field of neurobiology. In rodents, aged animals display depressive symptoms following stroke, whereas young animals recover fairly well. This finding has prompted us to investigate the expression of serotonin receptors 2A and 2B, which are directly linked to depression, in the brains of aged and ...
