Abstract Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent psychiatric disorder in children, characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This neurobehavioral disorder often persists into adulthood, presenting significant challenges when undiagnosed and untreated, due to potential long-term implications and comorbidities, including anxiety, mood instability, and mixed symptoms along the bipolar spectrum. Case presentation A 49-year-old married male patient presented with anxiety and recurrent depressive episodes, initially diagnosed as major depressive disorder. His mood symptoms fluctuated between depressive lows, irritability, and impulsivity. His diagnosis was revised to ADHD with comorbid bipolar spectrum disorder. The patient exhibited lifelong ADHD symptoms affecting academic performance, relationships, and job responsibilities. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) was employed to manage symptoms and enhance coping strategies. Despite progress in controlling anger and impulsivity, challenges persisted in inhibitory control and negative triggers, causing impulsive decisions. The patient reported a restless mind, depressive mood, and a sense of inadequacy. Improvements were noted in anxiety regulation, concentration, and sleep quality, though deficits in cognitive and behavioral domains remained. The patient faced challenges in academic performance, information processing speed, attention, and executive functions. Conclusion This case underscores the importance of accurately diagnosing ADHD and its comorbidities in adults to ensure effective treatment. Delayed diagnosis can have lasting impacts, emphasizing the need for further research and personalized therapeutic approaches. The insights from this case serve as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals enhancing their understanding of the diverse manifestations of ADHD, aiding in better diagnosis and management strategies. more...

Abstract Background The pathophysiology of migraine remains poorly understood, yet a growing number of studies have shown structural connectivity disruptions across large-scale brain networks. Although both structural and functional changes have been found in the cerebellum of migraine patients, the cerebellum has barely been assessed in previous structural connectivity studies of migraine. Our objective is to investigate the structural connectivity of the entire brain, including the cerebellum, in individuals diagnosed with episodic migraine without aura during the interictal phase, compared with healthy controls. Methods To that end, 14 migraine patients and 15 healthy controls were recruited (all female), and diffusion-weighted and T1-weighted MRI data were acquired. The structural connectome was estimated for each participant based on two different whole-brain parcellations, including cortical and subcortical regions as well as the cerebellum. The structural connectivity patterns, as well as global and local graph theory metrics, were compared between patients and controls, for each of the two parcellations, using network-based statistics and a generalized linear model (GLM), respectively. We also compared the number of connectome streamlines within specific white matter tracts using a GLM. Results We found increased structural connectivity in migraine patients relative to healthy controls with a distinct involvement of cerebellar regions, using both parcellations. Specifically, the node degree of the posterior lobe of the cerebellum was greater in patients than in controls and patients presented a higher number of streamlines within the anterior limb of the internal capsule. Moreover, the connectomes of patients exhibited greater global efficiency and shorter characteristic path length, which correlated with the age onset of migraine. Conclusions A distinctive pattern of heightened structural connectivity and enhanced global efficiency in migraine patients compared to controls was identified, which distinctively involves the cerebellum. These findings provide evidence for increased integration within structural brain networks in migraine and underscore the significance of the cerebellum in migraine pathophysiology. more...

Objective: To evaluate, among the most prescribed medications in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) of a public teaching hospital, those that require dose adjustment according to renal function, and to present the role of the pharmacist in this care setting. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted, with data collected from medication prescriptions through reports generated by the institution’s Hospital Information System from 2015 to 2019. Step 1: Based on the list of all medications prescribed during this period in two ICUs of the institution, the prevalence of prescription was calculated. For the 100 most used medications, a search was conducted on the Uptodate platform regarding the need for dose adjustment based on renal function. The data were compiled into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Step 2: The compiled data were presented to five clinical pharmacists from the institution, who assessed the severity and likelihood of occurrence of potential nonadjustment of doses for the 10 most prevalent medications that require it, using the Hazard Score Matrix. Results: Of the 100 most prevalent, a total of 34 medications were identified that require dose adjustment, with the most predominant classes being antimicrobials (41.2%), followed by those related to the cardiovascular system (20.6%) and the central nervous system (17.6%). The medications that scored highest when evaluated by the Hazard Score Matrix were morphine and regular insulin, followed by enoxaparin and potassium chloride. It was noted that dose adjustment is necessary not only to reduce adverse reactions or nephrotoxicity but also to ensure therapeutic effectiveness. Conclusion: This study emphasized the importance of adjusting medication doses in critically ill patients with renal dysfunction. Many frequently prescribed medications require dose modifications to ensure safety and effectiveness, particularly those classified as ‘high-alert’ due to their narrow therapeutic range. Collaboration between physicians and pharmacists is essential for minimizing risks in this context. Additionally, the use of risk analysis tools, such as HFMEA, facilitates the implementation of preventive interventions and dose adjustment protocols. more...

Several protocols have been developed with the aim of characterizing glial and immune cells from the central and peripheral nervous systems. However, a small number of these protocols have demonstrated the ability to yield satisfactory results following conventional isolation. Considering this necessity and the difficulties encountered in enzymatic and bead isolation, our work proposes a method for the isolation of glial and immune cells from the spinal cord utilizing a Percoll gradient. For this purpose, C57BL/6J spinal cords were dissected, and the lumbar intumescence was dissociated and subjected to a Percoll gradient centrifugation (70%, 50%, 37%, and 10%). Each layer was then separated and labeled for astrocytes (anti-GFAP, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-4), microglia (anti-CD45, CD11b, CD206, CD68, TNF-α, IFN-γ), and lymphocytes (anti-CD3, CD4, IFN-γ, IL-4). The gate detections were mathematically performed by computational analysis utilizing the K-means clustering algorithm. The results demonstrated that astrocytes were concentrated at the Percoll 10/37 interface, microglia at the Percoll 37/50 layer, and lymphocytes at the Percoll 50/70 layer. Our findings indicate that astrocytes in healthy animals are putative of the A1 profile, while microglia and lymphocytes are more frequently labeled with M1 and Th1 markers, suggesting a propensity towards inflammatory responses. The computational method enabled the semi-autonomous gate detection of flow cytometry data, which might facilitate and expedite the processing of large amounts of data. more...

Objective: To construct and validate educational pamphlets on oral antineoplastic therapy for patients with oncologic or hematologic diseases treated on an outpatient basis. Method: We carried out this research on two stages: a) Elaboration of educational pamphlets by the researchers, containing information regarding indication, administration mode, adverse effects, storage, and other precautions for the listed oral antineoplastics: Anagrelide, Cyclophosphamide, Chlorambucil, Melphalan, Lomustine, Mercaptopurine, Methotrexate, Mitotane, Pazopanib, Sorafenib, Temozolomide, Thioguanine, Ruxolitinib, and Tretinoin; b) Validation of the developed materials through a median grade among experts in the field (oncology and/or hematology pharmacists), using the Delphi Method, evaluating layout and content through a Likert scale. Data dispersion was assessed through the interquartile range (IQR), and adequate grade was defined as a median above 3. Results: The educational pamphlets were developed using national and international references, encompassing necessary information for the adequate and safe use of medications by patients. The initial validation involved 19 pharmacists specialized in oncology and/or hematology, spread across the national territory. In the first evaluation round, there was disagreement among experts on two issues, both related to the material’s content (highlighted sections and language used). After addressing points of disagreement, the pamphlets were validated by adequate grade among eight experts who remained in the study for the second round. Conclusion: It was possible to validate by experts the educational content of booklets containing written guidance on pharmacotherapy that will be delivered to the patient/caregiver, covering topics relevant to different medications, containing information with assertive scientific evidence, combining illustrations and language that is easy to understand by the population. more...

Abstract Producers of fish have been looking for viable alternatives for the management of Colossoma macropomum (tambaqui) in confinement systems in order to avoid the harm and subsequent losses caused by parasitic diseases. One alternative used by farmers is pesticides, such as trichlorfon, which has a genotoxic effect. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the changes in gene expression due to the side effects of trichlorfon in tambaqui. Two treatments were used based on LC50-96h of 0.870 mg/L using 30% and 50% trichlorfon with exposure periods of 48, 72 and 96 h. For differential expression of the genes in the liver, real-time PCR was performed for the AChE, GST, CYP2J6, CYP2C8, 18S and GAPDH genes. After 96 h of exposure to trichlorfon, an alteration in the gene expression profile of the antioxidant defense system (GST) of the tambaqui was observed. It was also observed that this organophosphate did not affect the expression of genes related to the isoenzymes that are responsible for the biotransformation of xenobiotics in phase I (2J6 and 2C8) and cholinesterase AChE. It was concluded that the reduction in gene expression of GST suggests a decrease in metabolization capacity in phase II. more...

IntroductionEnfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody drug conjugate approved for advanced urothelial cancer, consisting of a monomethyl auristatin E payload linked to a human monoclonal antibody targeting nectin-4. No validated biomarker predictive of or correlated with response exists for EV. Cutaneous toxicity is among the most common EV-related toxicities and typically emerges in early cycles. This retrospective experience of patients with urothelial cancer treated with EV monotherapy evaluated whether EV-related cutaneous toxicity correlated with improved outcomes including progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) survival and overall response rate (ORR).Patients and methodsPatients treated with EV monotherapy at Johns Hopkins were identified, and baseline characteristics, treatment, and toxicity details were extracted through chart review. Univariable Cox hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated for assessing the effect of baseline patient characteristics and cutaneous toxicity in PFS and OS. Based on the univariable analysis and known risk factors, all subsequent analyses were adjusted for: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, visceral metastases at baseline, gender as well as EV dose, and weight to account for dosing differences. Multivariable Cox proportional HRs were used for comparing PFS and OS between patients with and without cutaneous toxicity, assessing toxicity and EV dose as a time-dependent variables. Adjusted p-values were calculated to compare ORR and disease control rate (DCR) between groups using the Poisson regression model.ResultsOf the 78 patients analyzed, 42 (53.8%) experienced EV-related cutaneous toxicity that appeared early during treatment (median time to occurrence 0.5 months from EV initiation). Cutaneous toxicity correlated with significantly improved OS [HR, 0.48; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.25, 0.9; P = 0.0235], ORR (68.3% vs. 20.7%, P = 0.0033) and DCR (82.9% vs. 48.3%, P = 0.0122). Median PFS was numerically longer in the cutaneous toxicity group (6.3 vs. 1.7 months), although no significance was achieved in the multivariable analysis (HR, 0.62; 95% CI: 0.35, 0.108; P = 0.0925).ConclusionIn this retrospective study, EV-related cutaneous toxicity was associated with improved patient outcomes. Confirming this observation and understanding its mechanism could lead to discovery of a new clinical biomarker of EV response that can emerge in the first cycle. more...

OBJECTIVES: evaluate the profile of children exposed intrauterine to HIV born in a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil, describe the prevalence of children classified as high risk and the rate of vertical transmission in this population. METODOLOGY: cross-sectional analytical-observational study. All HIV-exposed children born in 2019 and 2020 at the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná were included. Data were collected from the hospitals operating systems, physical records and SISCEL. Study approved by the hospital ethics committee. RESULTS: 142 patients were included. Among the mothers, 26.06% had a detectable viral load in the last trimester, of which 54.05% were above 1000 copies; 37.32% were diagnosed during pregnancy; 40% of women who were diagnosed during pregnancy had a detectable viral load in the 3rd trimester (p=0.01). Of those who had a detectable viral load in the third trimester, 88.89% used ART irregularly or did not use (p < 0.01); 44.37% of newborns were classified as high risk by the current protocol in the period, while with the current new protocol would be 63.38%. The vertical transmission rate was 1.41%. There was 42.26% of loss of follow-up. CONCLUSION: the prevalence of vertical transmission was low, comparable to developed countries. Quality prenatal care, early diagnosis and adherence to ART are factors that modify the rates of vertical transmission of HIV due to the reduction of maternal viral load in the third trimester. more...

Pathology ,RB1-214 - Abstract
Abstract An increasing number of manuscripts related to digital and computational pathology are being submitted to The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research as part of the continuous evolution from digital imaging and algorithm‐based digital pathology to computational pathology and artificial intelligence. However, despite these technological advances, tissue analysis still relies heavily on pathologists' annotations. There are three crucial elements to the pathologist's role during annotation tasks: granularity, time constraints, and responsibility for the interpretation of computational results. Granularity involves detailed annotations, including case level, regional, and cellular features; and integration of attributions from different sources. Time constraints due to pathologist shortages have led to the development of techniques to expedite annotation tasks from cell‐level attributions up to so‐called unsupervised learning. The impact of pathologists may seem diminished, but their role is crucial in providing ground truth and connecting pathological knowledge generation with computational advancements. Measures to display results back to pathologists and reflections about correctly applied diagnostic criteria are mandatory to maintain fidelity during human–machine interactions. Collaboration and iterative processes, such as human‐in‐the‐loop machine learning are key for continuous improvement, ensuring the pathologist's involvement in evaluating computational results and closing the loop for clinical applicability. The journal is interested particularly in the clinical diagnostic application of computational pathology and invites submissions that address the issues raised in this editorial. more...

ABSTRACT A meta-analysis was employed to assess the effects of phytogenic feed additives and antibiotics on the performance and intestinal morphometry of unchallenged weanling pigs. The database included 41 articles published between 2004 and 2017, comprising 5,197 unchallenged nursery piglets. Piglets had 7.7 to 13.8 kg body weight and were assessed at 27.3 to 47.8 days of age, distributed into 156 experimental groups. All treatments were categorized into negative control, phytogenic additive (PA), and antibiotics (ATB) groups. The meta-analysis followed two sequential analyses: graphical and variance-covariance. Age and body weight were the factors that highly influenced the model. Piglets that received antibiotics had a higher (12.2%) daily weight gain than piglets in the control group. Phytogenic additives in diets enhanced intestinal morphometry in unchallenged piglets. Antibiotics increased (by 12.7%) the crypt depth of jejunum in comparison to the control treatment. Animals on PA had an 11.1% increment in villus height:crypt depth ratio than those on antibiotics. Phytogenic additives and antibiotics boost nursery piglet performance. Antibiotics advances the performance of unchallenged nursery piglets, but increases crypt depth in the jejunum. Performance of nursery piglets is better with combined phytogenic additives than with the isolated use of plant extracts. more...

Conclusions: WES found potentially deleterious rare variants in MODY genes in 8.1% of EOT1D, occurring in the context of a T1D genetic background. Such genetic variants may contribute to disease precipitation by a β-cell dysfunction mechanism. This supports the concept of different endotypes of T1D, and WES at T1D onset may be a prerequisite for the implementation of precision therapies in children with autoimmune diabetes. more...

Geriatrics ,RC952-954.6 - Abstract
Background. Ageing is associated with structural changes in brain regions and functional decline in cognitive domains. Noninvasive tools for identifying structural damage in the brains of older adults are relevant for early treatment. Aims. This study aims to evaluate and compare the accuracy of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA©) in identifying gray and white matter brain damage in older individuals with varying degrees of cognitive impairment. Methods. Ninety older adults (62 women) with an average age of 69 ± 7 years were enrolled and categorized as having no cognitive impairment (NCI), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or moderate cognitive impairment (MoCI). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was utilized to assess the number, volume, and distribution of brain damage. The Fazekas and Scheltens scales were applied to the brain MRIs, and inferential statistics were employed to compare variables among the groups. Results. Cognitive impairment was observed in 56.7% of the participants (95% confidence interval (CI): 46.4–66.4%), with thirty-six older adults (40%) classified as MCI and 15 (17%) as MoCI. Cognitive impairment and medial temporal lobe (MTL) atrophy were found to be associated (p=0.001), exhibiting higher mean volume scales of the MTL atrophied area in the MoCI group (p more...

IntroductionEarly-onset Type 1 diabetes (EOT1D) is considered a disease subtype with distinctive immunological and clinical features. While both Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) and non-HLA variants contribute to age at T1D diagnosis, detailed analyses of EOT1D-specific genetic determinants are still lacking. This study scrutinized the involvement of the HLA class II locus in EOT1D genetic control.MethodsWe conducted genetic association and regularized logistic regression analyses to evaluate genotypic, haplotypic and allelic variants in DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 genes in children with EOT1D (diagnosed at ≤5 years of age; n=97), individuals with later-onset disease (LaOT1D; diagnosed 8-30 years of age; n=96) and nondiabetic control subjects (n=169), in the Portuguese population. ResultsAllelic association analysis of EOT1D and LaOT1D unrelated patients in comparison with controls, revealed that the rare DRB1*04:08 allele is a distinctive EOT1D susceptibility factor (corrected p-value=7.0x10-7). Conversely, the classical T1D risk allele DRB1*04:05 was absent in EOT1D children while was associated with LaOT1D (corrected p-value=1.4x10-2). In corroboration, HLA class II haplotype analysis showed that the rare DRB1*04:08-DQ8 haplotype is specifically associated with EOT1D (corrected p-value=1.4x10-5) and represents the major HLA class II genetic driver and discriminative factor in the development of early onset disease.DiscussionThis study uncovered that EOT1D holds a distinctive spectrum of HLA class II susceptibility loci, which includes risk factors overlapping with LaOT1D and discriminative genetic configurations. These findings warrant replication studies in larger multicentric settings encompassing other ethnicities and may impact target screening strategies and follow-up of young children with high T1D genetic risk as well as personalized therapeutic approaches. more...

- Abstract
The relevance of the quality of parent-child interactions for child development has long been established. Nevertheless, research on beliefs about maternal sensitivity is still scarce, to an even greater extent in the context of child disability. This inquiry aimed to describe beliefs about sensitive parenting among mothers of children with developmental disabilities and to examine how those beliefs relate to sociodemographic factors and perceived stress. Participants included 40 mothers with a child up to 7 years of age with a developmental disability. Mothers reported on sociodemographic factors and daily hassles and sorted an adapted version of the Maternal Behavior Q-Sort. Results revealed a strong convergence between maternal beliefs about the ideal mother and the attachment theory's concept of sensitivity. Daily hassles predicted beliefs about the ideal mother. These results underline the importance of implementing interventions in the context of child disability aimed at reducing parental stress. more...

Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre os Problemas Relacionados a Medicamentos (PRM) e os medicamentos identificados no processo de revisão da farmacoterapia (RF) de um hospital universitário. Método: Trata-se de um estudo observacional retrospectivo e transversal. Os registros de PRM do período do estudo (2019-2020) foram coletados de um banco de dados de RF hospitalar e classificados conforme a Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE). Em seguida, um painel de especialistas (farmacêuticos e médicos) analisou a significância clínica do PRM incluído, em formulário online, com base no Hazard Scoring Matrix (HSM). Utilizando o software Gephi foram construídas duas redes para visualização da relação entre os PRM e os medicamentos nas seguintes perspectivas: (i) dos farmacêuticos do hospital; e (ii) do painel de especialistas. Resultados: 1250 PRM relacionados a 177 medicamentos diferentes foram incluídos e compilados em 202 combinações diferentes de “PRM-medicamento”. Pelo PCNE 41,6% dos PRM foram classificados como classe C1 (seleção do medicamento), 20,32% como C5 (dispensação) e 13,76% da classe C3 (seleção de dose). Pelo painel de especialistas, a combinação de “seleção de dose- antibiótico” foi a que apresentou maior risco na análise global e de farmacêuticos. Para os médicos, a combinação “monitoramento - anticoagulantes antagonistas de vitamina K” foi classificada com o maior risco. Em contrapartida, a combinação “seleção do medicamento- antiulcerosos”, que foi a mais encontrada na base de dados foi classificada pelos especialistas com escore de risco baixo (HSM 6). Conclusão: A significância das combinações “PRM-medicamento” foi diferente quando comparados os resultados pré e pós análise de risco. Assim, demonstrou-se que o HSM pode ser uma ferramenta útil para melhorar a avaliação do PRM e padronizar os serviços de RF, orientando os farmacêuticos para situações de maior significância clínica e aumentando sua eficácia na melhoria dos resultados de saúde. more...

Abstract The objective of this work was to compare nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from urine and manure of Nellore and crossbred (Nellore x Angus) cattle finished in feedlot. Twenty Nellore and 20 crossbred bulls were fed a diet consisting of 75% concentrate and 25% roughage. Excreta were applied to the pens after 43 days of confinement, when N2O monitoring started through static chambers. The data were subjected to the analysis of variance, and averages were compared by Tukey’s test. The N2O fluxes from urine and manure were similar among the breeds, with important peaks after rain events. The cumulative emissions of N2O from urine per kilogram of body weight gain (BWG) and the total emissions from manure per kilogram of BWG were 22.7% and 24.4% higher in Nellore cattle. There is no breed effect on N2O flux and cumulative emissions by excreta from confined beef cattle; however, the crossbreed emits less per kilogram of BWG. There is a high correlation between rainfall volume and the N2O emissions of the next day, which indicates a period between rain occurrence and the increase in N2O emission. more...

Genome-wide analysis methods, such as array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS), have greatly advanced the identification of structural variants (SVs) in the human genome. However, even with standard high-throughput sequencing techniques, complex rearrangements with multiple breakpoints are often difficult to resolve, and predicting their effects on gene expression and phenotype remains a challenge. Here, we address these problems by using high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) generated from cultured cells of nine individuals with developmental disorders (DDs). Three individuals had previously been identified as harboring duplications at the SOX9 locus and six had been identified with translocations. Hi-C resolved the positions of the duplications and was instructive in interpreting their distinct pathogenic effects, including the formation of new topologically associating domains (neo-TADs). Hi-C was very sensitive in detecting translocations, and it revealed previously unrecognized complex rearrangements at the breakpoints. In several cases, we observed the formation of fused-TADs promoting ectopic enhancer-promoter interactions that were likely to be involved in the disease pathology. In summary, we show that Hi-C is a sensible method for the detection of complex SVs in a clinical setting. The results help interpret the possible pathogenic effects of the SVs in individuals with DDs. more...

Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody-drug conjugate approved for the treatment of refractory advanced urothelial cancer. Cutaneous toxicity is well described but has not been correlated with response. In this retrospective single-center study, data from patients treated with more than one dose of EV between December 2017 and June 2022 were analyzed. Of 56 patients with a median age of 69 yr, 41 (73.2%) were male and 27 (48.2%) had any-grade skin toxicity. For all 51 patients evaluable by physician-assessed Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, the response rate was 41.2%. For those with cutaneous toxicity, the response rate was 57.7%; for those without cutaneous toxicity, it was 24.0% (p = 0.0145). All three patients with complete response experienced cutaneous toxicity, and two of these responses remain durable 5 and 24 mo off EV. The median starting weight and body mass index (BMI) were, respectively, 80.86 kg and 26.53 kg/m2 among patients with cutaneous toxicity, and 69.37 kg and 23.29 kg/m2 in patients without (p = 0.0129 and 0.0014, respectively). In this small dataset, EV-related cutaneous toxicity was more common in patients with higher weight and BMI at baseline, and was associated with disease response. Confirmation in prospective trials may confirm this association and lead to an important clinical biomarker of response. Patient summary: We evaluated patients with urothelial cancer who were treated at our institution with enfortumab vedotin (EV). We found that patients who experienced the common side effect of any type of skin toxicity, such as rash or itching, were more likely to have improvement in their cancer from EV treatment than those who did not experience skin toxicity. Patients with higher weight and body mass index when starting EV tended to have more skin toxicity. We conclude that presence of skin toxicity might help doctors make decisions about how to manage the care of patients with EV in the future. more...
