    Probable 4-Repeat Tauopathy Criteria Predict Brain Amyloid Negativity, Distinct Clinical Features, and FDG-PET/MRI Neurodegeneneration Patterns in Corticobasal Syndrome
    (2024) PARMERA, Jacy Bezerra; CARNEIRO, Camila de Godoi; ALMEIDA, Isabel Junqueira de; OLIVEIRA, Marcos Castello Barbosa de; BARBOSA, Pedro Melo; STUDART-NETO, Adalberto; ONO, Carla Rachel; NITRINI, Ricardo; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; COUTINHO, Artur Martins
    BackgroundCorticobasal syndrome (CBS) is associated with diverse underlying pathologies, including the four-repeat (4R)-tauopathies. The Movement Disorders Society (MDS) criteria for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) proposed the novel category ""probable 4R-tauopathy"" to address the phenotypic overlap between PSP and corticobasal degeneration (CBD).ObjectivesTo investigate the clinical ability of the MDS-PSP criteria for probable 4R-tauopathy in predicting a negative amyloid-PET in CBS. Additionally, this study aims to explore CBS patients classified as 4R-tauopathy concerning their clinical features and neuroimaging degeneration patterns.MethodsThirty-two patients with probable CBS were prospectively evaluated and split into those who fulfilled or did not fulfill the 4R-tauopathy criteria (CBS-4RT+ vs. CBS-4RT-). All patients underwent positron emission tomographies (PET) with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose and [11C]Pittsburgh Compound-B (PIB) on a hybrid PET-MRI scanner to perform multimodal quantitative comparisons with a control group.ResultsEleven patients were clinically classified as CBS-4RT+, and only one had a positive PIB-PET. The CBS-4RT+ classification had 92% specificity, 52% sensitivity, and 69% accuracy in predicting a negative PIB-PET. The CBS-4RT+ group presented with dysarthria and perseveration more often than the CBS-4RT- group. Moreover, the CBS-4RT+ group showed a prominent frontal hypometabolism extending to the supplementary motor area and striatum, and brain atrophy at the anterior cingulate and bilateral striata.ConclusionsThe 4R-tauopathy criteria were highly specific in predicting a negative amyloid-PET in CBS. Patients classified as 4R-tauopathy presented distinct clinical aspects, as well as brain metabolism and atrophy patterns previously associated with tauopathies.

    INTRODUCTION: Latin American Initiative for Lifestyle Intervention to Prevent Cognitive Decline (LatAm-FINGERS) is the first non-pharmacological multicenter randomized clinical trial (RCT) to prevent cognitive impairment in Latin America (LA). Our aim is to present the study design and discuss the strategies used for multicultural harmonization. METHODS: This 1-year RCT (working on a 1-year extension) investigates the feasibility of a multi-domain lifestyle intervention in LA and the efficacy of the intervention, primarily on cognitive function. An external harmonization process was carried out to follow the FINGER model, and an internal harmonization was performed to ensure this study was feasible and comparable across the 12 participating LA countries. RESULTS: Currently, 1549 participants have been screened, and 815 randomized. Participants are ethnically diverse (56% are Nestizo) and have high cardiovascular risk (39% have metabolic syndrome). DISCUSSION: LatAm-FINGERS overcame a significant challenge to combine the region's diversity into a multi-domain risk reduction intervention feasible across LA while preserving the original FINGER design.

    A call for clinical trial globalization in Alzheimer's disease and related dementia
    (2023) LLIBRE-GUERRA, Jorge J.; HEAVENER, Anika; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; MARANTE, Juan Pablo Diaz; PINTADO-CAIPA, Maritza; CHEN, Yaohua; BEHRENS, Maria Isabel; HARDI, Angela; ADMIRALL-SANCHEZ, Arianna; AKINYEMI, Rufus; ALLADI, Suvarna; DORSMAN, Karen A.; RODRIGUEZ-SALGADO, Ana M.; SOLORZANO, Joel; BABULAL, Ganesh M.
    BackgroundThe burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) is projected to disproportionally impact low-middle-income countries (LMICs). However, there is a systematic under-representation of LMICs in ADRD clinical trial platforms. MethodsWe aimed to determine the global distribution of ADRD clinical trials and identify existing barriers for conducting clinical trials in LMICs. Primary data sources to identify trial distribution in LMICs included ClinicalTrials.gov and the International Trials Registry Platform. An additional systematic review and expert consensus interviews were conducted to identify barriers for conducting clinical trials in LMICs. FindingsAmong 1237 disease-modifying therapies tested in ADRD clinical trials, only 11.6% have been or are conducted in emerging economies (upper-middle income [9.6%] and low-middle income [2.0%]). We identified several limitations for trial implementation including a lack of financial resources, low industry presence, regulatory obstacles, and operational barriers InterpretationAlthough LMICs bear the greatest burden of ADRD globally, substantial development of clinical trial platforms to address this inequity and health disparity is lacking.

    Exercise modifies hypothalamic connectivity and brain functional networks in women after bariatric surgery: a randomized clinical trial
    (2023) MEREGE-FILHO, Carlos A. A.; GIL, Saulo S.; KIRWAN, John P.; MURAI, Igor H.; DANTAS, Wagner S.; NUCCI, Mariana P.; PASTORELLO, Bruno; LIMA, Alisson Padilha de; BAZAN, Paulo R.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; SA-PINTO, Ana L. de; LIMA, Fernanda R.; BRUCKI, Sonia M. D.; CLEVA, Roberto de; SANTO, Marco A.; LEITE, Claudia da Costa; OTADUY, Maria Concepcion Garcia; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; GUALANO, Bruno
    BackgroundObesity is a disease that may involve disrupted connectivity of brain networks. Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity, and the positive effects on obesity-related conditions may be enhanced by exercise. Herein, we aimed to investigate the possible synergistic effects of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and exercise training on brain functional networks. MethodsThirty women eligible for bariatric surgery were randomly assigned to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB: n = 15, age = 41.0 & PLUSMN; 7.3 years) or RYGB plus Exercise Training (RYGB + ET: n = 15, age = 41.9 & PLUSMN; 7.2 years). Clinical, laboratory, and brain functional connectivity parameters were assessed at baseline, and 3 (POST3) and 9 months (POST9) after surgery. The 6-month, three-times-a-week, exercise intervention (resistance plus aerobic exercise) was initiated 3 months post-surgery (for RYGB + ET). ResultsExercise superimposed on bariatric surgery (RYGB + ET) increased connectivity between hypothalamus and sensorial regions (seed-to-voxel analyses of hypothalamic connectivity), and decreased default mode network (DMN) and posterior salience (pSAL) network connectivity (ROI-to-ROI analyses of brain networks connectivity) when compared to RYGB alone (all p-FDR < 0.05). Increases in basal ganglia (BG) network connectivity were only observed in the exercised training group (within-group analyses). ConclusionExercise training is an important component in the management of post-bariatric patients and may improve the hypothalamic connectivity and brain functional networks that are involved in controlling food intake.

    (2023) SILVA, Juliana Magalhaes da; SANTOS, Michelle Didone dos; COSTA, Raquel Quimas Molina da; MORETTO, Emerson Galves; VIVEIRO, Larissa Alamino Pereira de; LOPES, Roseli de Deus; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; POMPEU, Jose Eduardo
    Background Spatial orientation is a cognitive domain frequently compromised in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) and may be one of its first clinical manifestations. Some studies have shown that allocentric integration with egocentric spatial information seems to be impaired in this pathology. There is no consensus on how best to assess spatial orientation and traditional tests lack ecological validity, but, recently, virtual reality (VR) has provided new opportunities for this assessment.Objectives To analyze the applicability and stability of an immersive virtual task developed to assess spatial orientation, the Spatial Orientation in Immersive Virtual Environment Maze Test (SOIVET-Maze) in older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment.Methods Forty-three older adults were included in the study, 24 without cognitive impairment and 19 with mild cognitive impairment. Applicability was assessed by the Witmer and Singer Sense of Presence Questionnaire and a questionnaire for adverse events of cybersickness. To assess stability, participants were assessed twice with an interval of 7 to 14 days, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated between visits. The t test or the Mann-Whitney test was used to compare applicability and stability between groups.Results There was no significant difference between the groups regarding applicability. A strong correlation between the first and second day of testing was found in the mild cognitive impairment group.Conclusion The SOIVET-Maze task showed excellent applicability and good stability, favoring its clinical application for the evaluation of spatial orientation in older adults.

    (2023) SOUZA, Leonardo Cruz de; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; SCHILLING, Lucas Porcello; SILVA, Leticia Costa da; TAKADA, Leonel Tadao; BAHIA, Valeria Santoro; BARBOSA, Breno Jose Alencar Pires; BALTHAZAR, Marcio Luiz Figueredo; FROTA, Norberto Anizio Ferreira; NITRINI, Ricardo; CARAMELLI, Paulo; SMID, Jerusa
    Background Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a frequent cause of young-onset dementia and represents a major challenge for the diagnosis and clinical management. It is essential to evaluate the difficulties faced by physicians on the diagnostic workup and on patient care.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the current practices and the local limits on the diagnosis and management of FTD in Brazil.Methods We elaborated an online survey, composed of 29 questions and divided in four parts, comprising questions about existing health facilities, clinical practices related to FTD, and suggestions to increment the national research on FTD. The invitation to participate was sent by email to all neurologists affiliated to the Brazilian Academy of Neurology ( n = 3658), and to all physicians who attended the XII Meeting of Researchers on Alzheimer's disease, in 2019 ( n = 187). The invitation was also diffused through social media.Results 256 Brazilian physicians answered the questionnaire. The three most relevant disorders for the differential diagnosis of FTD were Alzheimer's disease (AD) ( n = 211), bipolar disorder ( n = 117) and dementia with Lewy bodies ( n = 92). Most respondents (125/256) reported the difficulty in performing genetic testing as the main limit in the diagnostic of FTD. 93% and 63% of participants considered that the assessment of social cognition and AD CSF biomarkers are useful for the diagnosis of FTD, respectively.Conclusions The present study may provide valuable insights for the medical education and clinical training of physicians, and to foster future research on FTD in Brazil.

    Risk factors for dementia in Brazil: Differences by region and race
    (2023) SUEMOTO, Claudia K.; MUKADAM, Naaheed; BRUCKI, Sonia M. D.; CARAMELLI, Paulo; NITRINI, Ricardo; LAKS, Jerson; LIVINGSTON, Gill; FERRI, Cleusa P.
    Introduction Twelve risk factors (RFs) account for 40% of dementia cases worldwide. However, most data for population attributable fractions (PAFs) are from high-income countries (HIC). We estimated how much these RFs account for dementia cases in Brazil, stratifying estimates by race and socioeconomic level. Methods We calculated the prevalence and communalities of 12 RFs using 9412 Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging participants, then stratified according to self-reported race and country macro-regions. Results The overall weighted PAF was 48.2%. Less education had the largest PAF (7.7%), followed by hypertension (7.6%), and hearing loss (6.8%). PAF was 49.0% and 54.0% in the richest and poorest regions, respectively. PAFs were similar among White and Black individuals (47.8% and 47.2%, respectively) but the importance of the main RF varied by race. Discussion Brazil's potential for dementia prevention is higher than in HIC. Education, hypertension, and hearing loss should be priority targets.

    Dementia in Parkinson's disease A Brazilian sample
    (2011) BALDIVIA, Beatriz; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; BATISTELA, Silmara; ESPER, Juliana Carvalho; AUGUSTO, Cristiano Duarte; ROCHA, Maria Sheila Guimaraes
    To determine the prevalence of dementia associated with Parkinson's disease (PD-D) in a Brazilian sample adopting clinical and diagnostic procedures recommended by the Movement Disorders Society (MDS). Sixty-seven patients were consecutively submitted to neurological, neuropsychological and functional examinations. PD-D was established according to MDS clinical criteria (Level II) and clinical procedures for PD-D (Level I) and prevalence rate was compared between the levels adopted. Ten patients (14.9%) were diagnosed as demented by Level I criteria whereas sixteen (23.8%) were diagnosed based on Level II criteria. Level I criteria had low sensitivity in detecting PD-D (31.25%), but greater specificity (90.19). The PD-D group had significantly worse performance on all neuropsychological tests, were older (p<0.001), had an older age of onset of disease (p<0.01), had lower educational level (p<0.02) and had higher scores on functional scales. Current age (p=0.046) and Hoehn & Yahr score (p=0.048) were predictors for developing PD-D.
