- Transcranial sonography findings in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (Machado-Joseph disease): A cross-sectional study(2011) PEDROSO, Jose Luiz; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; FELICIO, Andre Carvalho; BRAGA-NETO, Pedro; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; BARSOTTINI, Orlando GrazianiFew studies on transcranial brain sonography have been performed in hereditary and non-hereditary ataxias. The objective of the present study was to report transcranial brain sonography findings in a sample of clinically and molecularly proven Machado-Joseph disease patients and to compare these data against those of an age- and gender-matched control group. A cross-sectional study on transcranial brain sonography was conducted in 30 Machado-Joseph disease patients. Transcranial brain sonography was performed by an experienced sonographer blinded to the clinical, genetic, and neuroimaging data. The results were compared with those of a control group of 44 healthy subjects matched for age and gender. The sonographic findings were also correlated with clinical features and genetic data in Machado-Joseph disease group. A significantly higher frequency of substantia nigra and lenticular nucleus hyperechogenicity was found in the Machado-Joseph disease group compared to an age- and gender-matched healthy control group (p < 0.001). The substantia nigra echogenic area proved to be the best predictor for differentiating cases from controls. Third and lateral ventricles were significantly larger in the Machado-Joseph disease patients than in the control subjects. No significant correlations were found between transcranial brain sonography findings and Machado-Joseph disease demographic/clinical data. Transcranial brain sonography findings in Machado-Joseph disease patients differed significantly to those in age- and gender-matched controls. Substantia nigra hyperechogenicity occurred frequently in Machado-Joseph disease patients and was found to be the best predictor for differentiating cases from controls. Additionally, this data describes the occurrence of brain atrophy in Machado-Joseph disease group.
- Prediction of Early TBI Mortality Using a Machine Learning Approach in a LMIC Population(2020) AMORIM, Robson Luis; OLIVEIRA, Louise Makarem; MALBOUISSON, Luis Marcelo; NAGUMO, Marcia Mitie; SIMOES, Marcela; MIRANDA, Leandro; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; BEER-FURLAN, Andre; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira De; RUBIANO, Andres M.; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; KOLIAS, Angelos G.; PAIVA, Wellingson SilvaBackground: In a time when the incidence of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is increasing in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs), it is important to understand the behavior of predictive variables in an LMIC's population. There are few previous attempts to generate prediction models for TBI outcomes from local data in LMICs. Our study aim is to design and compare a series of predictive models for mortality on a new cohort in TBI patients in Brazil using Machine Learning. Methods: A prospective registry was set in Sao Paulo, Brazil, enrolling all patients with a diagnosis of TBI that require admission to the intensive care unit. We evaluated the following predictors: gender, age, pupil reactivity at admission, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), presence of hypoxia and hypotension, computed tomography findings, trauma severity score, and laboratory results. Results: Overall mortality at 14 days was 22.8%. Models had a high prediction performance, with the best prediction for overall mortality achieved through Naive Bayes (area under the curve = 0.906). The most significant predictors were the GCS at admission and prehospital GCS, age, and pupil reaction. When predicting the length of stay at the intensive care unit, the Conditional Inference Tree model had the best performance (root mean square error = 1.011), with the most important variable across all models being the GCS at scene. Conclusions: Models for early mortality and hospital length of stay using Machine Learning can achieve high performance when based on registry data even in LMICs. These models have the potential to inform treatment decisions and counsel family members.
- Transcranial Doppler: A Useful Tool to Predict Brain Death Still Not Confirmed by Clinical Assessment(2021) RONCONI, Karla de Almeida Lins; AMORIM, Robson Luis Oliveira de; JR, Fernando Mendes Paschoal; OLIVEIRA, Marcelo de Lima; NOGUEIRA, Ricardo de Carvalho; PAIVA, Wellingson Silva; GONCALVES, Daniel Buzaglo; FARIAS, Stephanie Ramos de; BRASIL, Sergio Paulo; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; BOR-SENG-SHU, EdsonBackground. Diagnosing brain death (BD) with accuracy and urgency is of great importance because an early diagnosis may guide the clinical management, optimize hospital beds, and facilitate organ transplantation. The clinical diagnosis of nonreactive and irreversible coma can be confirmed with additional tests. Among the complimentary exams that may testify brain circulatory arrest, transcranial Doppler (TCD) can be an option. It is a real-time, bedside, inexpensive, noninvasive method that assesses cerebral blood flow. In patients with suspected BD, especially those who are under sedative drugs, early diagnosis is imperative. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of TCD in predicting BD. Methods. One hundred consecutive comatose patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of less than 5, owing to different etiologies, were included. TCD was performed in all patients. The TCD operator was blinded for clinical and neurologic data. This study is in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Results. Sixty-nine patients with TCD-brain circulatory collapse were diagnosed later with BD. Of the 31 patients with brain circulatory activity, 8 (25.8%) were clinically brain dead and 23 (74.2%) were alive. TCD showing brain circulatory collapse had a sensitivity of 89.6%, specificity of 100%, positive predictive value of 100%, and negative predictive value of 74.2%. Conclusion. TCD is highly specific (100%) and sensitive (89.6%) as a method to confirm the clinical diagnosis of BD, even in patients under sedation. The possibility of patients presenting with cerebral circulatory activity and clinical diagnosis of BD was demonstrated to occur.
- Relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and natural history of intracranial aneurysms: meta-analysis(2018) PASCHOAL, Eric Homero Albuquerque; YAMAKI, Vitor Nagai; TEIXEIRA, Renan Kleber Costa; PASCHOAL JUNIOR, Fernando Mendes; JONG-A-LIEM, Glaucia Suzanna; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; YAMADA, Elizabeth Sumi; RIBEIRO-DOS-SANTOS, Andrea; BOR-SENG-SHU, EdsonThe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a major public health problem described as a sudden drastic event with no warning symptoms and high morbidity and mortality rates. The role of the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism in intracranial aneurysms (IAs) is still a matter of controversy with divergent findings among European, American, and Asian populations. Our study purposed to test the association between intracranial aneurysms formation and nitric oxide gene polymorphisms through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Systematic search on Medline, Lilacs, and EMBASE was performed. The primary search resulted in 139 papers, out of which 9 met our inclusion criteria after a full text analysis. The dominant T786C model found a significant association with IA (OR 1.22, 95 % CI 1.04-1.44, p = 0.01), so did studies of the recessive T786C model (OR 0.37, 95 % CI 0.30-0.45, p < 0.0001) but with opposite effect. Our findings support the presence of the T786C polymorphism as a predictor for the development of intracranial aneurysm in the cerebral vascular system. More studies are necessary in order to elucidate the pathways of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in cerebrovascular diseases and in defining how different allelic combinations of the eNOS gene single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) could favor this pathological process.

- Modified Hemostatic Technique Using Microfibrillar Collagen Hemostat in Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery: Technical Note(2014) FUJIMOTO, Yasunori; KOBAYASHI, Taisuke; KOMORI, Masahiro; MARIANI, Pedro; BR-SENG-SHU, Edson; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; WAKAYAMA, Akatsuki; YOSHIMINE, ToshikiMicrofibrillar collagen hemostat (MCH) is accepted as an effective topical hemostatic agent during endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (EETS), particularly to achieve venous hemostasis; however, handling MCH may be troublesome because of its adherence to gloves and instruments. We describe here a method of ""injection"" of MCH suspension using a syringe applicator. This technique allows a rapid and precise delivery of MCH to the bleeding points and thereby results in effective hemostasis; in addition, it is easy to prepare and it is also inexpensive.
- TCD assessment in fulminant hepatic failure: Improvements in cerebral autoregulation after liver transplantation(2024) PASCHOAL-JR, Fernando M.; NOGUEIRA, Ricardo C.; RONCONI, Karla de Almeida Lins; OLIVEIRA, Marcelo de Lima; ALMEIDA, Kelson James; ROCHA, Ivana Schmidtbauer; PASCHOAL, Eric Homero Albuquerque; PASCHOAL, Joelma Karin Sagica Fernandes; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; PANERAI, Ronney B.; BOR-SENG-SHU, EdsonIntroduction and Objectives: Acute liver failure, also known as fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), includes a spectrum of clinical entities characterized by acute liver injury, severe hepatocellular dysfunction and hepatic encephalopathy. The objective of this study was to assess cerebral autoregulation (CA) in 25 patients (19 female) with FHF and to follow up seventeen of these patients before and after liver transplantation.Patients and Methods: The mean age was 33.8 years (range 14-56, SD 13.1 years). Cerebral hemodynamics was assessed by transcranial Doppler (TCD) bilateral recordings of cerebral blood velocity (CBv) in the middle cerebral arteries (MCA).Results: CA was assessed based on the static CA index (SCAI), reflecting the effects of a 20-30 mmHg increase in mean arterial blood pressure on CBv induced with norepinephrine infusion. SCAI was estimated at four time points: pretransplant and on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd posttransplant days showing a significant difference between pre-and posttransplant SCAI (p = 0.005). SCAI peaked on the third posttransplant day (p = 0.006). Categorical analysis of SCAI showed that for most patients, CA was reestablished on the second day post-transplant (SCAI > 0.6).Conclusions: These results suggest that CA impairment pretransplant and on the 1st day posttransplant was re-established at 48-72 h after transplantation. These findings can help to improve the management of this patient group during these specific phases, thereby avoiding neurological complications, such as brain swelling and intracranial hypertension.(c) 2023 Fundacion Clinica Medica Sur, A.C.
- Decompressive craniectomy and head injury: brain morphometry, ICP, cerebral hemodynamics, cerebral microvascular reactivity, and neurochemistry(2013) BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; FIGUEIREDO, Eberval G.; FONOFF, Erich Talamoni; FUJIMOTO, Yasunori; PANERAI, Ronney B.; TEIXEIRA, Manoel JacobsenThere has been renewed interest in decompressive craniectomy as a surgical treatment for elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), although evidence-based clinical data are still lacking and some experimental results are conflicting. Ongoing clinical trials on the use of this operation after traumatic brain injury (TBI) may clarify the clinical application of this technique, however, some pathophysiological issues, such as the timing of this operation, its effect on brain edema formation, and its role for secondary brain damage, are still controversial. This review addresses recent clinical data on the influence of decompressive craniectomy on the brain pathophysiology in TBI. Decompressive craniectomy with dural augmentation enlarges intracranial space so that the swollen cerebral hemisphere could expand out of normal cranial limits, avoiding progression of brain herniation. The gain in intracranial volume results in both the improvement of cerebral compliance and a decrease in ICP; the latter favors a rise in both cerebral blood flow and cerebral microvascular perfusion, which can be accompanied by elevation in brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO(2)) as well as the return of abnormal metabolic parameters to normal values in cases of cerebral ischemia. Enhancement of edema formation, impairment of cerebrovascular pressure reactivity, and non-restoration of brain aerobic metabolism due to metabolic crisis may occur after craniectomy and require further investigations. This review suggests that decompressive craniectomy as the sole treatment is likely to be insufficient; efforts must be made to maintain adequate brain hemodynamics, preferably coupled with brain metabolism, in addition to treating brain metabolic abnormalities, during postoperative stages.
- Cerebral hemodynamic and metabolic changes in fulminant hepatic failure(2017) PASCHOAL JUNIOR, Fernando Mendes; NOGUEIRA, Ricardo de Carvalho; OLIVEIRA, Marcelo de Lima; PASCHOAL, Eric Homero Albuquerque; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro; BOR-SENG-SHU, EdsonIntracranial hypertension and brain swelling are a major cause of morbidity and mortality of patients suffering from fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). The pathogenesis of these complications has been investigated in man, in experimental models and in isolated cell systems. Currently, the mechanism underlying cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension in the presence of FHF is multi-factorial in etiology and only partially understood. The aim of this paper is to review the pathophysiology of cerebral hemodynamic and metabolism changes in FHF in order to improve understanding of intracranial dynamics complication in FHF.
