Does increased expression of ADAMTS13 mRNA correlate with ischemic cerebrovascular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus patients?
Increased expression of ADAMTS13 mRNA in blood cells is associated with the presence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus patients and suggests a potential role for ADAMTS13 in the pathogenesis of ischemic cerebrovascular disease in these patients.
We conclude that nonpsychotic patients who had at least 1 adequate antidepressant medication trial before ECT may be especially prone to early relapse after successful acute remission with ECT.
