conferenceObject Structured physical exercise for bipolar depression: An open pilot trial(2019) DUARTE, C. C.; ALMEIDA, K. M.; SILVA, M.; LAFER, B.- Personality traits in bipolar disorder type I: a sib-pair analysis(2011) ALMEIDA, Karla Mathias; NERY, Fabiano G.; MORENO, Ricardo Alberto; GORENSTEIN, Clarice; LAFER, BenyObjective: The aim of this study was to compare temperament and character traits among patients with bipolar disorder (BD), their siblings, and healthy controls (HCs) in order to examine whether personality traits are related to the genetic vulnerability to develop BD. Methods: Using the Temperament and Character Inventory, we assessed 204 subjects: 67 euthymic outpatients with bipolar disorder type I, 67 siblings without BD, and 70 HCs. Results: Scores on harm avoidance, novelty seeking, and selftranscendence were significantly higher among patients with BD than among HCs, whereas those on self-directedness and cooperativeness were significantly lower. Siblings showed higher scores on harm avoidance and lower scores on self-directedness than did HCs. As some of the siblings presented at least one lifetime psychiatric disorder other than BD (n = 35), we examined the subset of siblings who had no lifetime psychiatric disorder (n = 32). This group showed statistically higher harm avoidance scores than HCs. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the harm avoidance temperament trait and, to a lesser extent, the self-directedness character trait may represent vulnerability factors for BD.
conferenceObject Lithium may induce changes in renal tubular function and calcium homeostasis in patients with bipolar disorder(2017) HORTENCIO, L.; HELOU, C. M.; SILVA, M.; LAFER, B.; ALMEIDA, K.- Metabolic Syndrome and Bipolar Disorder: What Should Psychiatrists Know?(2012) ALMEIDA, Karla M. de; MOREIRA, Camila L. R. L.; LAFER, BenyThis paper reviews the association between bipolar disorder (BD) and metabolic syndrome (MetS), focusing on the etiopathogenetic and pathophysiological aspects of this association and on the recommendations for preventing and managing MetS in patients with BD. We conducted a nonsystematic literature review by means of a MEDLINE search. The exact causal relationship between MetS and BD is still uncertain. The side effects of psychotropic medications may be a major contributor to the increased rates of MetS in patients with BD. Other factors such as unhealthy lifestyles, common neuroendocrine and immuno-inflammatory abnormalities, and genetic vulnerability may also play a role in explaining the high rates of MetS in BD. Strategies to prevent and treat the MetS and its cardiovascular consequences in patients with BD include accurate screening and monitoring of the patient and appropriate psychoeducation on weight control, healthy nutrition, and increased physical activity. When deciding on pharmacological therapy for the treatment of the components of the MetS, drug interactions and the effects of the medications on mood must be taken into account.
