conferenceObject Changes on Gut Microbiota after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Adolescence: Case Reports(2019) RACHID, L.; COMINATO, L.; FRANCO, R. R.; V, R. Cortez; MOREIRA, L. N.; FRASCINO, A.; TADDEI, C. R.; STEINMETZ, L.; MANNA, T. Della; VELHOTE, M. C. P.; FILHO, H. C. M.; TOMA, R. K.; DAMIANI, D.- Treatment interruption in small for age term-born children(2020) COMINATO, Louise; FRASCINO, AlexandreSmall-for-gestational-age children have been associated with up to 20% delayed growth and delayed development, increased childhood morbimortality, and poor quality of life. Prepubertal growth hormone administration results in increased growth and musculoskeletal development. The present case report illustrates the negative impact of growth hormone disruption in a 6-year-old patient, resulting in impaired growth and development. Close clinical and laboratory monitoring is recommended for small-for-gestational-age children receiving growth hormone treatment, and family counselling should be encouraged.
- Review of a three-year study on the dental care of onco-hematological pediatric patients(2018) FRASCINO, Alexandre Viana; FAVA, Marcelo; COMINATO, Louise; ODONE-FILHO, VicenteThe aim of this study was to provide an updated review of dental procedures undertaken at the dental unit of the Onco-hematology service of the Instituto da Crianca at the Hospital das Clinicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Sao Paulo (ICr/HC-FMUSP). We retrospectively reviewed 565 of 1902 medical and dental records of patients diagnosed with onco-hematological diseases who were seen in a 3-year study (January 2015 to December 2017). We assessed data regarding population characteristics, onco-hematological diagnosis and dental procedures performed. Of the selected medical records, preventive dentistry was the most common procedure undertaken in this population, followed by oral maxillofacial surgeries, restorative dentistry and oral mucositis treatment. The most prevalent malignant diagnosis was acute lymphocytic leukemia, and the most prevalent nonmalignant diagnosis was sickle-cell anemia. Preventive dental procedures represent most of the dental procedures undertaken in hospitalized onco-hematological pediatric patients.
- Obesity as a Thrombogenic and Cardiovascular Risk Factor in Children(2022) COMINATO, Louise; FRANCO, Ruth Rocha; YBARRA, Marina; FRASCINO, Alexandre Viana; STEINMETZ, Leandra; FERRARO, Alexandre Archanjo; CARNEIRO, Jorge David Aivazoglou; DAMIANI, DurvalBackground/Aims:Obesity leads to increased risk of thromboembolic events in adults, but few studies have addressed the relationship between obesity and thrombogenic risk during childhood.The aim of this study was to evaluate the prothrombotic state of obese children in comparison with healthy children. Methods: Thrombin generation, fibrinogen, and D-dimer levels, along with metabolic parameters, were measured in 72 prepubertal children, of which 47 were obese and 25 eutrophic. Results: A significant increase in thrombin generation, fibrinogen, and dyslipidemia was found among obese patients. Conclusion: A prothrombotic state develops in childhood obesity during the prepubertal phase. (C) 2021 S. Karger AG, Basel
- Mandibular radiomorphometric assessment of bone mineral density in survivors of pediatric hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation(2019) FRASCINO, Alexandre Viana; COSTA, Claudio; SALGADO, Daniela Miranda Richarte de Andrade; CORACIN, Fabio Luiz; FAVA, Marcelo; ODONE-FILHO, VicenteOBJECTIVE: Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) childhood survivors of hematologic malignancies are prone to develop late osteopenia and osteoporosis. The purpose of this retrospective study was to quantitatively and qualitatively assess bone mineral density (BMD) in HSCT childhood survivors and to compare the effectiveness of both qualitative and quantitative assessment methods. METHODS: DESIGN BMD assessment using panoramic radiographs of childhood HSCT survivors aged 3.69-18.88 years using two radiomorphometric indexes. Case-control double-blinded comparison of panoramic radiographic images from childhood HSCT survivors and age-and sex-matched healthy controls. Quantitative assessment was performed by measuring the cortical bone width bilaterally at the mental foramen level. Qualitative assessment was performed using the mandibular cortical index bilaterally on all panoramic images. RESULTS: Radiographs were taken 6.59-83.95 months after bone marrow transplantation [median +/- SD=25.92 +/- 24.9 months]. Fifty-two panoramic radiographic images were analyzed: 21 from HSCT survivors and 31 from healthy controls aged 3.69-25.1 years [mean +/- SD=11.89 +/- 5.28 years]. The mandibular cortical bone width was 17% smaller in childhood HSCT survivors than in healthy controls (case group: 2.420, control group: 3.307; p=0.00617). Qualitative analysis revealed an increased frequency of severe mandibular cortical erosion in childhood HSCT survivors, although no significant difference was observed (case group: 1.540, control group: 1.490; p=0.32). The interobserver agreement was 85% (Kappa index). CONCLUSIONS: HSCT childhood survivors exhibit quantitative and qualitative mandibular bone impairments. Further studies are needed to establish an association between mandibular cortical bone impairment and osteoporosis.
conferenceObject Study of the Articular Disk of the Temporomandibular Joint in Human Ageing: Preliminary Macroscopic Analysis(2019) JACOMO, Alfredo Luiz; CERIONI, Tales Gabriel de Souza; FRASCINO, Alexandre Viana; AKAMATSU, Flavia Emi; HOJAIJ, Flavio Carneiro- Impact of Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation on Craniofacial Growth(2020) FRASCINO, Alexandre Viana; FAVA, Marcelo; COLLASSANTI, Maria Dulce Silveira; ODONE-FILHO, VicenteOBJECTIVES: To assess the craniofacial skeletal growth in pediatric hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) survivors in comparison with age-sex matched-paired controls. METHODS: A case-controlled retrospective comparison of the craniofacial growth in 25 HSCT children and 25 matched-paired controls was conducted. Craniofacial growth was quantitatively assessed by linear and angular measurements in panoramic radiographic images using ImageJ (R). Stature growth and body weight were obtained through physical examination. Cancer diagnosis, myeloablative conditioning, and HSCT were retrieved from medical records. RESULTS: Patients aged 12.2 years (+/- 3.8; 16 male, 9 female). Radiographic images were obtained on an average of 2.43 (+/- 2.0) years after HSCT. The main malignant diagnosis was acute lymphoblastic leukemia (56%), followed by acute myeloid leukemia (36%) and myelodysplastic syndromes (8%). Total body irradiation was associated with chemotherapy at 80%. Mean age at transplantation was 10 (+/- 4.7) years. HSCT survivors showed reduced a vertical growth of the mandibular ramus (p.O.003). This persisted among individuals below 12 years of age (p=0.017). The HSCT group showed delayed dental eruption, though there was no statistically significant difference (p=0.3668). The HSCT group showed stature deficit, increased weight, and body mass index (Z-score stature: -0.28; Z-score weight: 0.38, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric HSCT has decreased vertical craniofacial growth compared to their matched controls. There might be an association between reduced craniofacial vertical growth and reduced estature growth. Further studies to quantitatively investigate the impact of different myeloablative regimens in craniofacial skeletal growth and development.
