Assessment of quality control in the use of psychotropics for the treatment of depression: a brief review.

abstract：:The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between postoperative confusion and the plasma norepinephrine (NE), adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) or cortisol response to surgery in schizophrenic patients. We studied 50 schizophrenic patients and 35 control patients who underwent orthopedic surgery and perio...
