- A review on shared clinical and molecular mechanisms between bipolar disorder and frontotemporal dementia(2019) NASCIMENTO, Camila; NUNES, Paula Villela; RODRIGUEZ, Roberta Diehl; TAKADA, Leonel; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; GRINBERG, Lea Tenenholz; NITRINI, Ricardo; LAFER, BenyMental disorders are highly prevalent and important causes of medical burden worldwide. Co-occurrence of neurological and psychiatric symptoms are observed among mental disorders, representing a challenge for their differential diagnosis. Psychiatrists and neurologists have faced challenges in diagnosing old adults presenting behavioral changes. This is the case for early frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and bipolar disorder. In its initial stages, FTD is characterized by behavioral or language disturbances in the absence of cognitive symptoms. Consequently, patients with the behavioral subtype of FTD (bv-FTD) can be initially misdiagnosed as having a psychiatric disorder, typically major depression disorder (MDD) or bipolar disorder (BD). Bipolar disorder is associated with a higher risk of dementia in older adults and with cognitive impairment, with a subset of patients presents a neuroprogressive pattern during the disease course. No mendelian mutations were identified in BD, whereas three major genetic causes of FTD have been identified. Clinical similarities between BD and bv-FTD raise the question whether common molecular pathways might explain shared clinical symptoms. Here, we reviewed existing data on clinical and molecular similarities between BD and FTD to propose biological pathways that can be further investigated as common or specific markers of BD and FTD.
- d Argyrophilic Grain Disease: Demographics, Clinical, and Neuropathological Features From a Large Autopsy Study(2016) RODRIGUEZ, Roberta Diehl; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; MOLINA, Mariana; NASCIMENTO, Camila Fernandes; LEITE, Renata Elaine Paraizo; FERRETTI-REBUSTINI, Renata Eloah de Lucena; FARFEL, Jose Marcelo; HEINSEN, Helmut; NITRINI, Ricardo; UEDA, Kenji; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos Augusto; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; YAFFE, Kristine; GRINBERG, Lea TenenholzArgyrophilic grain disease (AGD) is a frequent late-onset, 4 repeat tauopathy reported in Caucasians with high educational attainment. Little is known about AGD in non-Caucasians or in those with low educational attainment. We describe AGD demographics, clinical, and neuropathological features in a multiethnic cohort of 983 subjects >50 years of age from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Clinical data were collected through semistructured interviews with an informant and included in the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly, the Clinical Dementia Rating, and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory. Neuropathologic assessment relied on internationally accepted criteria. AGD was frequent (15.2%) and was the only neuropathological diagnosis in 8.9% of all cases (mean, 78.9 +/- 9.4 years); it rarely occurred as an isolated neuropathological finding. AGD was associated with older age, lower socioeconomic status (SES), and appetite disorders. This is the first study of demographic, clinical, and neuropathological aspects of AGD in different ethnicities and subjects from all socioeconomic strata. The results suggest that prospective studies of AGD patients include levels of hormones related to appetite control as possible antemortem markers. Moreover, understanding the mechanisms behind higher susceptibility to AGD of low SES subjects may disclose novel environmental risk factors for AGD and other neurodegenerative diseases.
- Differential levels of inflammatory and neuroendocrine markers in the hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex of bipolar disorder subjects: A post-mortem study(2020) NASCIMENTO, Camila; NUNES, Paula Villela; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; RODRIGUEZ, Roberta Diehl; LEITE, Renata Elaine Paraizo; GRINBERG, Lea Tenenholz; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos Augusto; NITRINI, Ricardo; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; BRENTANI, Helena Paula; LAFER, Beny
- Neuropathology of depression in non-demented older adults: A large postmortem study of 741 individuals(2022) NUNES, Paula Villela; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; RODRIGUEZ, Roberta Diehl; LEITE, Renata Elaine Paraizo; NASCIMENTO, Camila; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos Augusto; NITRINI, Ricardo; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; GRINBERG, Lea T.; LAFER, BenyAssociations between age-related neuropathological lesions and adult-onset lifetime major depressive disorder (a-MDD), late-life MDD (LLD), or depressive symptoms close to death (DS) were examined in a large community sample of non-demented older adults. Seven hundred forty-one individuals (age at death = 72.2 +/- 11.7 years) from the Biobank for Aging Studies were analyzed. a-MDD was present in 54 (7.3%) participants, LLD in 80 (10.8%), and DS in 168 (22.7%). After adjustment for covariates and compared to controls, a-MDD, LDD and DS were associated with small vessel disease ( p = 0.039, p = 0.003, and p = 0.003 respectively); LLD, and DS were associated with brain infarcts ( p = 0.012, p = 0.018, respectively) and Lewy body disease ( p = 0.043, p = 0.002, respectively). DS was associated with betaamyloid plaque burden ( p = 0.027) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy ( p = 0.035) in cognitively normal individuals (Clinical Dementia Rating scale = 0). Vascular brain pathology was the strongest correlate of clinical depictions of depression in the absence of dementia, corroborating the vascular hypothesis of depression. Lewy body pathology underlay DS. An older adult with DS or LLD should be monitored for possible cognitive decline or neurodegenerative disorders.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
