Does systemic lupus erythematosus impair memory cognitive tests not affected by depression?
Depression has a limited role in cognitive impairment in SLE. Impairments in sustained attention and spatial working memory are distinctly influenced by yet-unknown disease-intrinsic factors.
Routine use of intraoperative angiography influences outcome after embolectomy for upper-limb acute arterial occlusion. Routine use of intraoperative angiography, compared with selective use, results in a higher rate of extension of the procedure for residual lesion and in a lower rate of reocclusion at 24 months. In prevention of reocclusion, completion angiogram has a hazard ratio of 5.44 on multivariate analysis. Postoperative late mortality is mainly affected by old age and DM.
