- Is self-reported 7-day point prevalence abstinence an useful measure for smoking cessation effectiveness among individuals with mental disorders?(2023) LIMA, Danielle Ruiz; DAVANSO, Lucas Carvalho; CARVALHO, Carlos Felipe Cavalcanti; GUIMARAES-PEREIRA, Bruna Beatriz Sales; LORETO, Aline Rodrigues; FRALLONARDO, Fernanda Piotto; ISMAEL, Flavia; ANDRADE, Arthur Guerra de; CASTALDELLI-MAIA, Joao MauricioSmoking rates among individuals with mental disorders are higher compared to general population. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a smoking cessation treatment among individuals with and without mental disorders. Self-report 7-day point prevalence was used to assess abstinence status among 'intention to treat' (n = 1,213) and 'completers-only' (n = 578) samples. Participants were distributed in (1) ND-only; (2) ND and other substance use disorder (ND-SUD); (3) ND associated with mental disorder but no other SUD (ND-MD); and (4) co-morbid ND, SUD and MD (ND-SUMD). The treatment program was composed by six weeks of group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medical consultations. Multivariate logistic regression models were applied. Rates of abstinence between ND-only and both ND-MD and ND-SUMD differed in the 'intention-to-treat' sample, with the former group showing the best rate (62.5%, 48% and 45.4% respectively). ND-SUD had the second-best rate of abstinence (56.1%). Differences between groups were not observed among 'completers-only'. Self-report 7-day point prevalence abstinence is economical and reliable to be used in low to middle-income countries. In this study, it showed that the 6-week smoking cessation treatment had a positive effect among completers, which supports the importance of investing in treatment to decrease smoking prevalence in this population.
- The DSM-5 and the diagnosis of substance use disorders: Reflection about validity of the new criteria and possible ""missing pieces' in the puzzle(2015) LIMA, Danielle Ruiz; GONCALVES, Priscila Dib; MALBERGIER, Andre; AMARAL, Ricardo; ANDRADE, Arthur G.; CUNHA, Paulo Jannuzzi
- The role of neurocognitive functioning, substance use variables and the DSM-5 severity scale in cocaine relapse: A prospective study(2019) LIM, Danielle Ruiz; GONCALVES, Priscila Dib; OMETTO, Mariella; MALBERGIER, Andre; AMARAL, Ricardo Abrantes; SANTOS, Bernardo dos; CAVALLET, Mikael; CHAIM-AVANCINI, Tiffany; SERPA, Mauricio Henriques; FERREIRA, Luiz Roberto Kobuti; DURAN, Fabio Luis de Souza; ZANETTI, Marcus Vinicius; NICASTR, Sergio; BUSATTO, Geraldo Filho; ANDRAD, Arthur Guerra; CUNH, Paulo JannuzziBackground: The severity of substance use disorder (SUD) is currently defined by the sum of DSM-5 criteria. However, little is known about the validity of this framework or the role of additional severity indicators in relapse prediction. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between DSM-5 criteria, neurocognitive functioning, substance use variables and cocaine relapse among inpatients with cocaine use disorder (CUD). Methods: 128 adults aged between 18 and 45 years were evaluated; 68 (59 males, 9 females) had CUD and 60 (52 males, 8 females) were healthy controls. For the group with CUD, the use of other substances was not an exclusion criterion. Participants were tested using a battery of neurocognitive tests. Cocaine relapse was evaluated 3 months after discharge. Results: Scores for attention span and working memory were worse in patients compared to controls. Earlier onset and duration of cocaine use were related to poorer inhibitory control and global executive functioning, respectively; recent use was related to worse performance in inhibitory control, attention span and working memory. More DSM-5 criteria at baseline were significantly associated with relapse. Conclusions: Recent cocaine use was the most predictive variable for neurocognitive impairments, while DSM-5 criteria predicted cocaine relapse at three months post treatment. The integration of neurocognitive measures, DSM-5 criteria and cocaine use variables in CUD diagnosis could improve severity differentiation. Longitudinal studies using additional biomarkers are needed to disentangle the different roles of severity indicators in relapse prediction and to achieve more individualized and effective treatment strategies for these patients.
- Sex differences in smoking cessation: a retrospective cohort study in a psychosocial care unit in Brazil(2023) GUIMARAES-PEREIRA, Bruna Beatriz Sales; MARTINS-DA-SILVA, Anderson Sousa; LIMA, Danielle Ruiz; CARVALHO, Carlos Felipe Cavalcanti; LORETO, Aline Rodrigues; GALVAO, Lucas Pequeno; FRALLONARDO, Fernanda Piotto; ISMAEL, Flavia; TORALES, Julio; VENTRIGLIO, Antonio; ANDRADE, Arthur Guerra de; CASTALDELLI-MAIA, Joao MauricioIntroduction: Despite the results of epidemiological and psychometric studies reporting comparable levels of tobacco dependence among males and females, some clinical studies have detected disparities. Some smoking cessation studies based on clinical setting programs reported poorer outcomes among women than men.Methods: This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare treatment success and retention between men and women on a smoking cessation program (n=1,014) delivered at a CAPS-AD unit in Brazil. The psychological intervention lasted 6 weeks for each group of 15 patients. Each patient had to participate in weekly group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions and individual medical appointments during this period. These appointments were focused on the possibility of prescribing pharmacological treatment (i.e., nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, or nortriptyline) as adjuvants to group therapy.Results: The women had lower smoking severity at baseline, more clinical symptoms, and lower prevalence of alcohol and drug use disorders and were older than the men. Females had significantly higher levels of success (36.6% vs. 29.7%) and retention (51.6% vs. 41.4%) than males. Sensitivity analysis showed that female gender was significantly associated with both retention and success, among those without drug use disorders only.Conclusion: Depending on the smoking cessation setting (i.e., low and middle-income countries and mental health and addiction care units), females can achieve similar and even higher quit rates than males. Previous drug use disorder was an important confounding variable in the gender outcomes analyses. Future studies should try to replicate these positive smoking cessation effects of CBT-based group therapy plus pharmacotherapy in women.
- Soldier's heart: the forgotten circulatory neurasthenia - a systematic review(2020) BORGES, Guilherme Passamani; TONON, Joao Henrique Almeida; ZUNINI, Pablo Andres Alves da Silva; SILVA, Anderson Sousa Martins da; GARCIA, Marcelo de Freitas Valeiro; PERICO, Cintia de Azevedo-Marques; LIMA, Danielle Ruiz; TORALES, Julio; VENTRIGLIO, Antonio; BHUGRA, Dinesh; CASTALDELLI-MAIA, Joao MauricioSoldier's Heart (SH) is a former medical diagnosis, rarely mentioned nowadays, presented under several other names. Considering the controversy regarding the removal of Soldier's Heart diagnosis from DSM-5, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review to evaluate its usage in the clinical practice. Information on diagnosis, military stress, heart rate variability, treatment, and prognosis were collected from 19 studies included after a systematic literature search. Considering the lack of adequate use of Soldier's Heart diagnosis and the diagnostic overlapping with other conditions, the present systematic review supports the inclusion of Soldier's Heart under the umbrella of posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSDs). This proposal is also in line with the conception that physical symptoms are relevant features often associated with generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD. Also, it will be described the higher prevalence of cardiological comorbidities in SH and possible cardiological consequences. Pharmacotherapy based on benzodiazepines and beta-blockers, as well as biofeedback and mindfulness techniques are considered to be useful treatment options. Further studies are needed to better define psychopathological domains of this syndrome and possible novel treatment targets.
- Brain Correlates of the Alcohol Use Disorder Pharmacotherapy Response: A Systematic Review of Neuroimaging Studies(2022) FLORENCE, Luiza; LASSI, Dangela Layne Silva; KORTAS, Guilherme T.; LIMA, Danielle R.; PERICO, Cintia de Azevedo-Marques; ANDRADE, Arthur G.; TORALES, Julio; VENTRIGLIO, Antonio; BERARDIS, Domenico De; AQUINO, Joao P. De; CASTALDELLI-MAIA, Joao M.Background: Although Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is highly prevalent worldwide, treating this condition remains challenging. Further, potential treatments for AUD do not fully address alcohol-induced neuroadaptive changes. Understanding the effects of pharmacotherapies for AUD on the human brain may lead to tailored, more effective treatments, and improved individual clinical outcomes. Objectives: We systematically reviewed the literature for studies investigating pharmacotherapies for AUD that included neuroimaging-based treatment outcomes. We searched the PubMed, Scielo, and PsycINFO databases up to January 2021. Study eligibility criteria, participants, and interventions: Eligible studies included those investigating pharmacotherapies for AUD and employing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and/or proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS). Study appraisal and synthesis methods: Two independent reviewers screened studies' titles and abstracts for inclusion. Data extraction forms were shared among all the authors to standardize data collection. We gathered information on the following variables: sample size; mean age; sociodemographic and clinical characteristics; alcohol use status; study design and methodology; main neuroimaging findings and brain-regions of interest (i.e., brain areas activated by alcohol use and possible pharmacological interactions); and limitations of each study. Results: Out of 177 studies selected, 20 studies provided relevant data for the research topic. Findings indicate that: (1) Acamprosate and gabapentin may selectively modulate limbic regions and the anterior cingulate cortex; (2) Naltrexone and disulfiram effects may involve prefrontal, premotor, and cerebellar regions; (3) Pharmacotherapies acting on glutamate and GABA neurotransmission involve primarily areas underpinning reward and negative affective states, and; (4) Pharmacotherapies acting on opioid and dopamine systems may affect areas responsible for the cognitive and motor factors of AUD. Limitations: Most of the studies were focused on naltrexone. A small number of studies investigated the action of disulfiram and gabapentin, and no neuroimaging studies investigated topiramate. In addition, the time between medication and neuroimaging scans varied widely across studies. Conclusions: We identified key-brain regions modulated by treatments available for AUD. Some of the regions modulated by naltrexone are not specific to the brain reward system, such as the parahippocampal gyrus (temporal lobe), parietal and occipital lobes. Other treatments also modulate not specific regions of the reward system, but play a role in the addictive behaviors, including the insula and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The role of these brain regions in mediating the AUD pharmacotherapy response warrants investigation in future research studies.
- Quality of service and commitment to tobacco dependence treatment for individuals living with mental disorders in France: A pilot study(2022) CASTALDELLI-MAIA, Joao M.; GONCALVES, Priscila D.; LIMA, Danielle R.; MOURA, Helena F.; APTER, GiseleBackground: There are remarkably high smoking rates in patients living with mental disorders (PLWMD), and the absence of a specific treatment policy for smoking cessation for these patients worldwide. The present study aimed to (i) investigate the quality of service and commitment to tobacco dependence treatment, and (ii) produce high-quality French versions of the Index of Tobacco Treatment Quality (ITTQ) and Tobacco Treatment Commitment Scale (TTCS). Methods: ITTQ and TTCS were used to assess French mental health professionals (n = 80). Both scales were translated from their original language following standard procedures (i.e. forward translation). Descriptive analysis for total score, each factor and item were calculated for the entire sample, followed by subgroup analysis by gender, and role of the practitioner. Results: Nurses presented higher levels of both treatment commitment and treatment quality in their mental health care units, compared to psychiatrists, and residents. Overall, counseling offering was low and there was a perception that it is unfair to take tobacco away from PLWMD. In the other hand, there were high levels of smoking assessment and perceptions that nicotine dependence should be included in drug treatment programs. Conclusions: There is a gap in tobacco treatment implementation for French PLWMD. The present pilot study alerts about the problem, and should stimulate larger studies validating such measures for wide use with French-speaking mental health professionals. French nurses presented higher levels of both treatment commitment and quality, and could be in a leadership position for such implementation. Encouraging the implementation of tobacco counseling within conventional mental health treatment is critical to improve cessation rates among this population. There is a potential for the sustainability of tobacco treatment interventions since the levels of commitment observed here were higher than in previous studies conducted abroad.
- Executive functioning and DSM-5 criteria for substance use disorder among addicted inpatients(2017) LIMA, Danielle Ruiz de; GONCALVES, Priscila Dib; OMETTO, Mariella; MALBERGIER, Andre; AMARAL, Ricardo; NICASTRI, Sergio; ANDRADE, Arthur; CUNHA, Paulo Jannuzzi
- Gray and white matter alterations in cocaine addiction: Clinical and methodological aspects(2020) MELO, Caio V. I.; GONCALVES, Priscila D.; OLIVEIRA, Hercilio P.; LIMA, Danielle R.; SERPA, Mauricio H.; DURAN, Fabio; MALBERGIER, Andre; BUSATTO, Geraldo F.; CUNHA, Paulo Jannuzzi
- The effect of a real-world intervention for smoking cessation in Adults with and without comorbid psychiatric and substance use disorders: A one-year follow-up study(2022) LIMA, Danielle Ruiz; GUIMARAES-PEREIRA, Bruna Beatriz Sales; MANNES, Zachary L.; CARVALHO, Carlos Felipe Cavalcanti; LORETO, Aline Rodrigues; DAVANSO, Lucas Carvalho; FRALLONARDO, Fernanda Piotto; ISMAEL, Flavia; ANDRADE, Arthur Guerra De; CASTALDELLI-MAIA, Joao MauricioThis study evaluated short-term abstinence and prolonged abstinence following a real-world intervention for smoking cessation in a sample of 1,213 adults with nicotine dependence only (ND), nicotine dependence and past history of another substance use disorder (ND-SUD), nicotine dependence and a non-substance use mental health disorder (ND-MD), or nicotine dependence and comorbid substance use disorder and mental health disorder (ND-SUMD). Participants received six sessions of group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and pharmacotherapy. Abstinence was assessed following completion of treatment and at 12-month follow-up. Logistic regression and survival analyses were performed. Participants who were lost to follow-up were included as censored and baseline differences were used as covariates in multivariate analyses. Rates of short-term abstinence and pro-longed abstinence were significantly different between ND and ND-SUMD (20.9% versus 36.5%; 14.9% versus 22.4%, respectively). Among participants with follow-up, 37.7% were abstinent at 12-month. Diagnostic group was not associated with abstinence at 12-month follow-up after adjusting for nicotine dependence severity, which was associated with lower likelihood of abstinence (HR=1.11;95%CI:1.03-1.19). CBT plus pharmaco-therapy had a positive effect on smoking cessation among the participants in this study. Special attention should be given to adults with more severe nicotine dependence and comorbid psychiatric and substance use disorders.
