    (2024) PARMERA, Jacy Bezerra; CARNEIRO, Camila de Godoi; ALMEIDA, Isabel Junqueira de; OLIVEIRA, Marcos Castello Barbosa de; BARBOSA, Pedro Melo; STUDART-NETO, Adalberto; ONO, Carla Rachel; NITRINI, Ricardo; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; COUTINHO, Artur Martins
    BackgroundCorticobasal syndrome (CBS) is associated with diverse underlying pathologies, including the four-repeat (4R)-tauopathies. The Movement Disorders Society (MDS) criteria for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) proposed the novel category ""probable 4R-tauopathy"" to address the phenotypic overlap between PSP and corticobasal degeneration (CBD).ObjectivesTo investigate the clinical ability of the MDS-PSP criteria for probable 4R-tauopathy in predicting a negative amyloid-PET in CBS. Additionally, this study aims to explore CBS patients classified as 4R-tauopathy concerning their clinical features and neuroimaging degeneration patterns.MethodsThirty-two patients with probable CBS were prospectively evaluated and split into those who fulfilled or did not fulfill the 4R-tauopathy criteria (CBS-4RT+ vs. CBS-4RT-). All patients underwent positron emission tomographies (PET) with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose and [11C]Pittsburgh Compound-B (PIB) on a hybrid PET-MRI scanner to perform multimodal quantitative comparisons with a control group.ResultsEleven patients were clinically classified as CBS-4RT+, and only one had a positive PIB-PET. The CBS-4RT+ classification had 92% specificity, 52% sensitivity, and 69% accuracy in predicting a negative PIB-PET. The CBS-4RT+ group presented with dysarthria and perseveration more often than the CBS-4RT- group. Moreover, the CBS-4RT+ group showed a prominent frontal hypometabolism extending to the supplementary motor area and striatum, and brain atrophy at the anterior cingulate and bilateral striata.ConclusionsThe 4R-tauopathy criteria were highly specific in predicting a negative amyloid-PET in CBS. Patients classified as 4R-tauopathy presented distinct clinical aspects, as well as brain metabolism and atrophy patterns previously associated with tauopathies.

    Comparison of Oral and IV 18F-NaF PET/CT Administration in the Assessment of Bone Metastases in Patients With Breast or Prostate Cancers
    (2023) ROCHA, Nelisa Helena; ZACCHI, Samara Riguete; SADO, Heitor Naoki; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; DUARTE, Paulo Schiavom; SAPIENZA, Marcelo Tatit
    PurposeThe aim of this study was to compare oral and IV administrations of F-18-NaF PET/CT for detection of suspicious bone metastatic lesions of breast and prostate cancers.Patients and MethodsThirty-six patients with breast (n = 23) or prostate (n = 13) cancers and high risk for bone metastases were prospectively evaluated. All patients underwent 2 PET/CT studies after IV and oral F-18-NaF administration within a 2 to 23 days interval between them. The maximum SUVs from the same suspicious lesions (& LE;5 index lesions per patient) in both studies were measured. The target-to-background ratio (TBR), defined as the relation between the lesion maximum SUV and the whole skeletal mean SUV, was calculated for each lesion. The TBRs in the same lesion calculated using the 2 administration routes were compared. The agreements between 2 physicians in the definition of the number of lesions in both studies were also assessed using weighted & kappa;.ResultsOne hundred thirty-four pairs of lesions were analyzed. There was no significant statistical difference between the median TBRs (P = 0.212) for IV (10.33) and oral (10.85). Excellent intraobserver agreement was observed between IV and oral routes: weighted & kappa; of 1.0 (95% confidence interval, 0.92-1.0) and 0.92 (95% confidence interval, 0.81-0.99) for physicians 1 and 2, respectively. The interobserver coefficients were 0.82 and 0.87 for ""oral versus oral"" and ""IV versus IV,"" respectively.Conclusions(18)F-NaF PET/CT studies using oral and IV routes present comparable performance; thus, it is possible to use oral route in patients with difficult venous access.

    The Association Between Acquired Color Deficiency and PET Imaging of Neurodegeneration in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer Disease
    (2022) VIDAL, Kallene Summer Moreira; DECLEVA, Diego; BARBONI, Mirella Telles Salgueiro; NAGY, Balazs Vince; MENEZES, Paulo Augusto Hidalgo de; AHER, Avinash; COUTINHO, Artur Martins; SQUARZONI, Paula; FARIA, Daniele de Paula; DURAN, Fabio Luis de Souza; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; KREMERS, Jan; FILHO, Geraldo Busatto; VENTURA, Dora Fix
    PURPOSE. To evaluate color vision changes and retinal processing of chromatic and lumi-nance pathways in subjects with Alzheimer disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) compared with a matched control group and whether such changes are associated with impaired brain glucose metabolism and beta-amyloid deposition in the brain.METHODS. We evaluated 13 patients with AD (72.4 +/- 7.7 years), 23 patients with MCI (72.5 +/- 5.5 years), and 18 controls of comparable age (P = 0.44) using Cambridge color test and the heterochromatic flicker ERG (HF-ERG). The Cambridge color test was performed using the trivector protocol to estimate the protan, deutan and tritan color confusion axes. HF-ERG responses were measured at a frequency of 12 Hz, which ERGs reflect chromatic activity, and at 36 Hz, reflecting luminance pathway. A study subsample was performed using neuropsychological assessments and positron emission tomography.RESULTS. Patients with AD presented higher mean values indicating poorer color discrim-ination for protan (P = 0.04) and deutan (P = 0.001) axes compared with the controls. Along the tritan axis, both patients with AD and patients with MCI showed decreased color vision (P = 0.001 and P = 0.001) compared with controls. The analyses from the HF-ERG protocol revealed no differences between the groups (P = 0.31 and P = 0.41). Diffuse color vision loss was found in individuals with signs of neurodegeneration (protan P = 0.002, deutan P = 0.003 and tritan P = 0.01), but not in individuals with signs of beta-amyloid deposition only (protan P = 0.39, deutan P = 0.48, tritan P = 0.63), regardless of their clinical classification.CONCLUSIONS. Here, patients with AD and patients with MCI present acquired color vision deficiency that may be linked with impaired brain metabolism.

    Influence on voxel-based dosimetry: noise effect on absorbed dose dosimetry at single time-point versus sequential single-photon emission computed tomography
    (2023) FONDA, Uysha de S.; LEITAO, Andre L. A.; PAIVA, Marcia M. D. P.; WILLEGAIGNON, Jose; JOSEFSSON, Anders; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos A.; SAPIENZA, Marcelo T.
    ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate how statistical fluctuation in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images propagate to absorbed dose maps. MethodsSPECT/computed tomography (CT) images of iodine-131 filled phantoms, using different acquisition and processing protocols, were evaluated using STRATOS software to assess the absorbed dose distribution at the voxel level. Absorbed dose values and coefficient of variation (COV) were analyzed for dosimetry based on single time-point SPECT images and time-integrated activities of SPECT sequences with low and high counts. ResultsConsidering dosimetry based on a single time-point, the mean absorbed dose was not significantly affected by total counts or reconstruction parameters, but the uniformity of the absorbed dose maps had an almost linear correlation with SPECT noise. When high- and low-count SPECT sequences were used to generate an absorbed dose map, the absorbed dose COV for each of the temporal sequences was slightly lower than the absorbed dose COV based on the single SPECT image with the highest count included in the sequence. ConclusionThe impact of changes in SPECT counts and reconstruction parameters is almost linear when dosimetry is based on isolated SPECT images, but less pronounced when dosimetry is based on sequential SPECTs.

    Potential of [C-11](R)-PK11195 PET Imaging for Evaluating Tumor Inflammation: A Murine Mammary Tumor Model
    (2022) SOUZA, Aline Morais de; REAL, Caroline Cristiano; JUNQUEIRA, Mara de Souza; SOUZA, Larissa Estessi de; MARQUES, Fabio Luiz Navarro; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; CHAMMAS, Roger; SAPIENZA, Marcelo Tatit; FARIA, Daniele de Paula
    Background: Breast tumor inflammation is an immunological process that occurs mainly by mediation of Tumor-Associated Macrophages (TAM). Aiming for a specific measurement of tumor inflammation, the current study evaluated the potential of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging with [C-11](R)-PK11195 to evaluate tumor inflammation in a mammary tumor animal model. Methods: Female Balb/C mice were inoculated with 4T1 cells. The PET imaging with [C-11](R)-PK11195 and [F-18]FDG was acquired 3 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks after cell inoculation. Results: The [C-11](R)-PK11195 tumor uptake increased from 3 days to 1 week, and decreased at 2 weeks after cell inoculation, as opposed to the [F-18]FDG uptake, which showed a slight decrease in uptake at 1 week and increased uptake at 2 weeks. In the control group, no significant differences occurred in tracer uptake over time. Tumor uptake of both radiopharmaceuticals is more expressed in tumor edge regions, with greater intensity at 2 weeks, as demonstrated by [C-11](R)-PK11195 autoradiography and immunofluorescence with TSPO antibodies and CD86 pro-inflammatory phenotype. Conclusion: The [C-11](R)-PK11195 was able to identify heterogeneous tumor inflammation in a murine model of breast cancer and the uptake varied according to tumor size. Together with the glycolytic marker [F-18]FDG, molecular imaging with [C-11](R)-PK11195 may provide a better characterization of inflammatory responses in cancer.

    Home-Based Exercise Training in the Recovery of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children: A Case Series Study
    (2023) ASTLEY, Camilla; LEAL, Gabriela Nunes; GIL, Saulo; SUGUITA, Priscila; FINK, Thais; BAIN, Vera; PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena; SIECZKOWSKA, Sofia; PRADO, Danilo; LIMA, Marcos Santos; CARNEIRO, Camila G.; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; SILVA, Clovis Artur; GUALANO, Bruno
    Objective: To assess the potential therapeutic role of exercise on health-related quality of life, assessed by the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI), coronary flow reserve (CFR), cardiac function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and inflammatory and cardiac blood markers in multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) patients. Methods: This is a case series study of a 12-wk, home-based exercise intervention in children and adolescents after MIS-C diagnosis. From 16 MIS-C patients followed at our clinic, 6 were included (age: 7-16 years; 3 females). Three of them withdrew before the intervention and served as controls. The primary outcome was health-related quality of life, assessed PODCI. Secondary outcomes were CFR assessed by 13N-ammonia PET-CT imaging, cardiac function by echocardiography, cardiorespiratory fitness, and inflammatory and cardiac blood markers. Results: In general, patients showed poor health-related quality of life, which seemed to be improved with exercise. Additionally, exercised patients showed improvements in coronary flow reserve, cardiac function, and aerobic conditioning. Non-exercised patients exhibited a slower pattern of recovery, particularly in relation to health-related quality of life and aerobic conditioning. Conclusions: Our results suggest that exercise may play a therapeutic role in the treatment of post-discharge MIS-C patients. As our design does not allow inferring causality, randomized controlled trials are necessary to confirm these preliminary findings.
