Summary: Early SSRI therapy is associated with a reduced risk of post-stroke depression, but increases the risk of bone fracture and nausea. Future research should focus on identifying high-risk individuals to improve the risk-benefit assessment of this therapy in clinical practice.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of baseline platelet serotonin (5-HT) levels in depression patients seeking treatment and defined subgroups based on drug exposure. The bioeffect of 5-HT reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) and the relationship between demographic variables and platelet 5-HT concentration were also assessed. Data from a cross-sectional study of 1433 Veterans Administration (VA) patients were analyzed, revealing a bimodal distribution of platelet 5-HT levels and significant differences in population, sex, and age.

Summary: The study found that the majority of adults with Down syndrome responded positively to a 12-week course of SSRI treatment for depression, with some experiencing adverse effects such as daytime sedation and anger. Controlled studies are needed to further evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of SSRIs in this population.

Summary: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are effective in treating anxiety and depressive disorders in children and adolescents, but they have significant adverse effects. This review examines the adverse effects of these medications in pediatric patients and provides strategies to address tolerability concerns and guidance for discontinuation.

Summary: This study found that in individuals with depressive disorders, the use of antidepressant medications (especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) may be associated with sleep-related respiratory disturbances and decreased oxygen saturation.

Summary: Biased memory processing contributes to the development and exacerbation of depression, and may serve as a therapeutic target for stress-induced mental disorders. Synchronized spikes in hippocampal neurons, known as sharp wave ripples (SWRs), play a crucial role in memory reactivation. This study observed an increased frequency of SWRs in the ventral hippocampus, but not in the dorsal hippocampus, following exposure to stress. Treatment with selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) fluoxetine and fluvoxamine suppressed the generation of ventral hippocampal SWRs and reduced locomotor activity and gamma power in local field potentials. These findings suggest that the antidepressant effects of SSRIs may involve the inhibition of ventral hippocampal SWRs.

Summary: The exposure to antidepressants during pregnancy, especially SSRIs, is associated with a slightly increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution, and precautionary measures are still recommended.

Summary: Paroxetine can acutely and directly modulate human Kv1.3 channels, inhibiting channel activity by accelerating steady-state inactivation, thus revealing a possible mechanism for acute immunosuppression.

Summary: The effects of SSRI drugs on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in mice were investigated. The study found that the high dose of fluoxetine led to a decrease in pregnancy rate and maternal weight gain, while both high and low doses of sertraline led to a decrease in the number of pups born and weaned. The study suggests that the effects of SSRI on neonatal mortality may be mediated by SSRI-induced placental insufficiency.

Summary: A large proportion of patients with depression prescribed SSRIs do not receive the recommended maximum effective dose according to recent meta-analyses. This prescribing practice is common across different age groups and healthcare settings, indicating a lack of consensus on effective dosing of SSRIs.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis found that SSRIs and SNRIs as adjuncts for postoperative pain management significantly reduced postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and improved patient satisfaction without increasing adverse events compared with placebo. SSRIs tend to be less effective than SNRIs, but the effects of SSRIs remain inconclusive due to limited evidence.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of differentiation on the serotonergic neuronal phenotype of the mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22. The results showed that differentiation promoted neurite outgrowth and upregulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and choline acetyltransferase in HT22 cells. Furthermore, proteins required for serotonergic neurotransmission were significantly upregulated in differentiated HT22 cells. These findings suggest that differentiated HT22 cells have enhanced functional serotonergic properties and could be used for assessing the efficacy of antidepressant 5-HT reuptake inhibitors.

Summary: Neurodegenerative and mood disorders in the elderly population can exhibit overlapping cognitive and behavioral symptoms, posing a diagnostic challenge for psychiatrists. We presented a case of a 71-year-old patient with a history of refractory depressive disorder and multiple cardiovascular risk factors, diagnosed with Binswanger's disease (BD). A literature review and summary of similar cases were also provided to aid in the diagnosis of BD cases in the future.
