conferenceObject SENSITIVITY OF NEUROPHYSIOLOGIC TESTS REGARDING THE NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH CONGENITAL MYASTHENIC SYNDROMES(2019) CALDAS, Vitor Marques; ESTEPHAN, Eduardo de Paula; SILVA, Andre Macedo Serafim da; MENDONCA, Rodrigo de Holanda; HEISE, Carlos Otto; ZANOTELI, Edmar- Consensus from the Brazilian Academy of Neurology for the diagnosis, genetic counseling, and use of disease-modifying therapies in 5q spinal muscular atrophy(2024) ZANOTELI, Edmar; ARAUJO, Alexandra Prufer de Queiroz Campos; BECKER, Michele Michelin; FORTES, Clarisse Pereira Dias Drumond; FRANCA, Marcondes Cavalcante; MACHADO-COSTA, Marcela Camara; MARQUES JR., Wilson; MATSUI JR., Ciro; MENDONCA, Rodrigo Holanda; NARDES, Flavia; OLIVEIRA, Acary Souza Bulle; PESSOA, Andre Luis Santos; SAUTE, Jonas Alex Morales; SGOBBI, Paulo; LINDEN JR., Helio van der; GURGEL-GIANNETTI, JulianaSpinal muscular atrophy linked to chromosome 5 (SMA-5q) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the SMN1 . SMA-5q is characterized by progressive degeneration of the spinal cord and bulbar motor neurons, causing severe motor and respiratory impairment with reduced survival, especially in its more severe clinical forms. In recent years, highly effective disease-modifying therapies have emerged, either acting by regulating the splicing of exon 7 of the SMN2 gene or adding a copy of the SMN1 gene through gene therapy, providing a drastic change in the natural history of the disease. In this way, developing therapeutic guides and expert consensus becomes essential to direct the use of these therapies in clinical practice. This consensus, prepared by Brazilian experts, aimed to review the main available disease-modifying therapies, critically analyze the results of clinical studies, and provide recommendations for their use in clinical practice for patients with SMA-5q. This consensus also addresses aspects related to diagnosis, genetic counseling, and follow-up of patients under drug treatment. Thus, this consensus provides valuable information regarding the current management of SMA-5q, helping therapeutic decisions in clinical practice and promoting additional gains in outcomes.

- Clinical, histological and radiological responses to methylprednisolone in HIV-associated rod myopathy(2017) SILVA, Andre M. S.; MENDONCA, Rodrigo H.; MORENO, Cristiane A. M.; ESTEPHAN, Eduardo P.; HELITO, Paulo V. P.; CARVALHO, Mary S.; ZANOTELI, EdmarSkeletal muscle involvement as a neurologic manifestation in individuals with HIV is rare, especially as rod myopathy. We describe a 41-year-old male with HIV infection who presented progressive proximal muscle weakness and limb-girdle atrophy. A muscle magnetic resonance image showed bilateral fatty infiltration and post-contrast enhancement in the arm and thigh muscles. The muscle biopsy revealed intracytoplasmic aggregates with appearance of nemaline rod bodies with Gomori trichrome staining and electron microscopy in most fibers. The patient underwent six cycles of intravenous methylprednisolone pulses, presenting clinical improvement. Post-treatment muscle biopsy showed fewer nemaline bodies and muscle magnetic resonance image depicted a pronounced reduction of muscular edema. These findings corroborate that deposition of nemaline bodies in these patients might be related to an immune response triggered by the virus.
