- Electroconvulsive Therapy in the Treatment of Catatonia Due To Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(2022) GONCALVES JUNIOR, Jucier; BICALHO, Maria Eugenia Teixeira; GUEDES, Lissiane Karine Noronha; GALLUCCI-NETO, Jose; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.The use of electroconvulsive therapy in case of catatonia due to systemic lupus erythematosus refractory in treatment with immunosuppressant is rare. Therefore, we report a case of catatonia due to systemic lupus erythematosus treated with electroconvulsive therapy as an adjuvant to cyclophosphamide treatment. A 34-year-old female patient diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus attended the rheumatology outpatient clinic with a history of catatonia for 8 weeks and laboratory tests revealed high titers of anti-ds DNA positive anti-RNP and polyclonal gammopathy. cyclophosphamide pulse therapy was scheduled in association with electroconvulsive therapy, in 12 sessions, twice a week. The patient evolved with significant clinical improvement after 6 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy and 2 pulses of cyclophosphamide, with negative anti-ds DNA and normalization of gamma globulin levels. Thus, electroconvulsive therapy should be considered as adjuvant therapy in severe cases of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus, including catatonia, especially in those with relapses and poor response to immunosuppressant and psychotropic drugs.

R.; CAMPOS, Lucia M. A.; BORBA, Eduardo F.; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis A.- Improvement of bone microarchitecture parameters after 12 months of treatment with asfotase alfa in adult patient with hypophosphatasia Case report(2018) FREITAS, Thiago Quadrante; FRANCO, Andre Silva; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria RodriguesRationale: Hypophosphatasia is an inborn error of metabolism that can appear any time in life, mainly with bone manifestations due to low alkaline phosphatase activity. Asfotase alfa is a specific enzyme reposition treatment that has shown promising results in children; however, there are few reports about the outcomes in adult patients. Patient concerns: A 36-year-old male presented with an early history of craniosynostosis, short stature, and multiple fractures since the age of 13 years-which needed numerous surgical corrections. He was admitted with a previous diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta, taking alendronate, calcium carbonate, cholecalciferol, and calcitriol. Bone mineral density was low (lumbar spine Z-score = -3.0 SD), with impairment of all parameters of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Kidney impairment was also observed with reduced creatinine clearance, nephrolithiasis, and nephrocalcinosis. Diagnosis: Alkaline phosphatase was unexpectedly low (6 U/L, reference value: 30-120U/L), with high serum vitamin B6 (260 mcg/L, reference value: 5.2-34.1). Genetic testing showed a homozygous missense mutation in ALPL gene c.443 C>T: p.Thr148Ile. Intervention: Asfotase alfa was requested due to important bone deterioration, ambulatory disability, and kidney impairment. It was given subcutaneously 2 mg/kg per dose, 3 times a week, for 12 months before reassessment. Outcomes: Bone mineral densities of the lumbar spine and whole body, besides almost all HR-pQCT microstructural parameters of the distal tibia, showed improvements and the patient was able to walk without assistant device. Kidney function did not further deteriorate. Lessons: Hypophosphatasia should be considered as a differential diagnosis in young patients with multiple fractures and kidney impairment, since the use of antiresorptive drugs, calcium and vitamin D, commonly used to treat fractures, worsen its symptoms and prognosis. A 12-month asfotase alfa treatment improved bone density and structural parameters even in an adult patient with late diagnosis.
- Android to gynoid fat ratio and its association with functional capacity in male patients with heart failure(2020) SANTOS, Marcelo Rodrigues Dos; FONSECA, Guilherme Wesley Peixoto da; SHERVENINAS, Leticia Pironato; SOUZA, Francis Ribeiro de; BATTAGLIA FILHO, Antonio Carlos; NOVAES, Caio Eduardo; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria Rodrigues; NEGRAO, Carlos Eduardo; BARRETTO, Antonio Carlos Pereira; ALVES, Maria-Janieire de Nazare NunesAims We studied the association between android (A) to gynoid (G) fat ratio and functional capacity (peak VO2) in male patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods and results We enrolled 118 male patients with HFrEF with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40%. Body composition (by using dual x-ray absorptiometry) and peak VO2 (by cardiopulmonary exercise testing) were measured. Sarcopenic obesity was defined according to the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health criteria (FNIH). Blood sample for metabolic and hormonal parameters were measured. Fifteen patients (12.7%) showed sarcopenic obesity (body mass index > 25 kg/m(2) with FNIH index < 0.789). The median A/G ratio was 0.55. A/G ratio > 0.55 was detected in 60 patients. Relative peak VO2 was lower in patients with A/G ratio > 0.55 than in patients with A/G ratio <0.55 (18.7 +/- 5.3 vs. 22.5 +/- 6.1 mL/kg/min, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed A/G ratio >0.55 to be independently associated with reduced peak VO2 adjusted for age, body mass index, LVEF, presence of sarcopenia, anabolic hormones, and haemoglobin (odds ratio 3.895, 95% confidence interval 1.030-14.730, P = 0.045). Conclusions Body fat distribution, particularly android and gynoid fat composition, together with other cofactors, might have an important adverse role on functional capacity in male patients with HFrEF. Future studies are needed to address possible mechanisms involved in this relationship.

- Visceral adipose tissue in granulomatosis with polyangiitis: association with disease activity parameters(2021) FURLAM, Pedro L.; PEREZ, Mariana O.; FRANCO, Andre S.; CAPARBO, Valeria F.; SHINJO, Samuel K.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.Objective To assess the body composition (BC) of patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) compared to healthy controls, emphasizing visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and associated BC parameters with disease activity, the damage index, and inflammatory parameters in patients with GPA. Methods This study was conducted in 43 patients with GPA and 43 healthy controls matched by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). BC was analyzed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The fat mass parameters evaluated were total fat mass (FM), adiposity (%), the fat mass index (FMI: fat mass/ht(2)), and VAT (g, cm(2), cm(3)). Disease activity was assessed by the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS). Damage was assessed by the Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI). C-reactive protein (CRP) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were measured. Results Comparing patients with GPA with healthy controls, patients had a significantly greater VAT (VAT in g: 685.81 +/- 306.10 vs. 581.21 +/- 235.57, p = 0.04; VAT in cm(2): 142.23 +/- 63.48 vs. 119.84 +/- 49.54, p = 0.03; VAT in cm(3): 741.33 +/- 330.97 vs. 628.44 +/- 254.66, p = 0.04). Patients with higher VAT (>= 768 g) had an increased value of ESR (22.77 +/- 26.79 vs. 11.57 +/- 11.30 mm/1st hour, p = 0.04) and an increased value of BVAS (3.18 +/- 4.15 vs. 0.90 +/- 1.70, p = 0.01) when compared to patients with less VAT (< 768 g). Conclusion Patients with GPA have altered BC compared to healthy controls. Moreover, higher VAT was associated with disease activity and higher inflammatory markers, suggesting a relationship between GPA activity and adiposity parameters.
