ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Meige's syndrome is a type of facial dystonia characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia. Although botulinum toxin type A (OBTA) injections are the standard treatment, evidence of their effectiveness and safety in this scenario is still lacking. OBJECTIVE: Our research aimed to evaluate the improvement and occurrence of side effects following injections of onabotulinum toxin type A (OBTA) in patients with Meige's syndrome. METHODS: Patients with Meige's syndrome undergoing botulinum toxin injections were enrolled in this study. We assessed dystonia intensity before and 14 days after OBTA injection using the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (BFMDRS) to measure the response of symptoms in the eyes (blepharospasm) and mouth (oromandibular dystonia). Other variables, such as dosage, side effects, and demographic data, were also recorded. RESULTS: The study included 41 participants, with a mean age of 67.7 years and a female-to-male ratio of 3.5:1. The mean BFMDRS score before the injections was 8.89, and after 14 days, it was 2.88. The most reported side effect was ptosis, with a 7.3% incidence. OBTA significantly reduced dystonia severity (p < 0.0001). The clinical response for the blepharospasm component was superior to the oromandibular dystonia component. CONCLUSION: Our results support that OBTA seems to be an effective and safe therapeutic option for treating Meige's syndrome. The effect of OBTA was more pronounced in the treatment of blepharospasm than in oromandibular dystonia.


ANTECEDENTES: A síndrome de Meige (SM) é caracterizada pela ocorrência concomitante de blefarospasmo e distonia oromandibular. Embora a toxina onabotulínica do tipo A (TBA) seja o tratamento de escolha, há uma falta de evidências sobre sua eficácia e segurança nesse cenário. OBJETIVO: O objetivo do nosso estudo foi avaliar os efeitos obtidos com a aplicação de TBA em pacientes com SM. MéTODOS: Pacientes com SM que realizam aplicação de TBA foram convidados a participar desse estudo. Os participantes foram questionados sobre a intensidade da distonia antes e 14 dias após a injeção de TBA, utilizando a Escala de Distonia de Burke-Fahn-Marsden (EDBFM) para mensurar a resposta obtida em cada segmento. Outras variáveis, como dose, ocorrência de efeitos colaterais e dados demográficos, também foram registradas. RESULTADOS: O estudo contou com 41 participantes (idade média de 67,7; razão de 3,5 pacientes do sexo feminino para cada participante do sexo masculino). O escore médio na EDBFM antes das aplicações de TBA era 8,89, e, após 14 dias, 2,88. O efeito colateral mais reportado foi ptose (7.3%). A TBA foi capaz de reduzir a severidade da distonia (p < 0.0001), principalmente do blefarospasmo. CONCLUSãO: Nossos resultados corroboram que a TBA é uma terapêutica eficaz e segura no tratamento da SM. O efeito da TBA é superior no manejo do blefarospasmo em relação à distonia oromandibular.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), the basal metabolic rate (BMR) falls. However, it is important to know how BMR per kilogram of body weight (BMR/kg) varies in the postoperative period. The present study evaluated the changes in the BMR/kg and its correlates over 30 months after RYGB. METHODS: Eighty adult patients of both genders who underwent RYGB agreed to participate in the study. The following evaluations were performed before surgery (n=48) and 6 (n=27), 12 (n=28), 24 (n=40), and 30 months (n=29) after surgery: anthropometry, body composition (bioelectrical impedance), metabolic analysis (indirect calorimetry), and diet (food recall). Statistical analysis was performed (p = 0.05). RESULTS: Although BMR decreased after surgery, BMR/kg increased significantly as compared to baseline from 12 months onward, peaking at 24 months and not significantly dipping at 30 months, suggesting stabilization of BMR/kg 2 years after surgery (pre, 10.68 ± 2.33 kcal/kg; 12 months, 12.46 ± 2.85 kcal/kg; 24 months, 18.78 ± 4.81 kcal/kg; 30 months, 18.12 ± 3.69 kcal/kg; p <0.001). Regarding the variables that influenced the BMR/kg, at 12 months, they were %LBM and intake of calcium-source foods (34%); at 24 months, it was protein intake (16%); and at 30 months, it was the intake of calcium-source foods (26.7%). CONCLUSION: RYGB is associated with a significant increase in BMR when it is adjusted to body weight from 12 to 24 months postoperatively. Among the factors involved in the increase in BMR/kg are body composition and intake of protein-rich foods.

ABSTRACT

Patients who undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) exhibit a reduction in total basal metabolic rate (BMR) after surgery, which seems to be intimately related to the amount of postoperative weight loss. The objective was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to determine and evaluate BMR changes after RYGB. The search was performed in certified databases, and the strategy was structured according to the PRISMA ScR. The quality evaluation of the articles included in this review was assessed with two different bias risk tools (ROBINS-I and NIH) according to each study design. Two meta-analyses were elaborated based on the results. 163 articles were selected (from 2016 to 2020), and 9 articles met the inclusion criteria. All of the selected studies evaluated only adult patients, mostly women. Postoperative BMR diminished in all of the included studies after surgery compared to preoperative values. The follow-up periods were 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. Eight articles were used for the meta-analysis after the quality assessment, a total of 434 participants. Compared to baseline values, mean postoperative reductions of 356.66 kcal/d after 6 months (p < 0.001) and 432.89 kcal/d (p < 0.001) after 1 year were observed. The BMR decreases during the first years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, especially during the first year postsurgery.

ABSTRACT

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) presents clinically in three variants: one behavioral and two with progressive primary aphasia - non-fluent/agrammatic and semantic. Defined by the degenerative process and cerebral atrophy, olfactory dysfunction occurs in up to 96% of previous FTD case series. OBJECTIVE: the present study aims to critically synthesize data about the relationship between FTD and olfactory impairment to analyze the usefulness of olfactory evaluation tests as a complementary element in early diagnosis. METHODS: a database search was performed using the keywords "olfactory OR smell OR olfaction AND frontotemporal dementia". We included studies that evaluated olfactory function in patients diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, all subtypes, compared with age-matched healthy controls. For comparative purposes, the effect size was calculated using Cohen's D. The studies selected were categorized according to dementia variant and olfactory test type. A meta-analysis was performed using forest plots - homogeneity was evaluated by statistical tests (i2 and Cochran Q). RESULTS: ten articles met the inclusion criteria. Heterogeneity was classified as low for semantic dementia olfactory identification and behavioral variant olfactory discrimination groups (i2 = 0 and 3.4%, respectively) and as moderate for the behavioral variant olfactory identification group (i2 = 32.6%). CONCLUSION: patients with the frontotemporal dementia behavioral variant seem to present with alterations in odor identification, but with preserved discrimination. Scent identification also seems to be impaired in semantic dementia. Therefore, we conclude that olfactory evaluation in these patients is possibly impacted by cognitive alterations and not by sensory deficits. Application of olfactory tests may prove important in differentiating prodromal states from other types of dementia with more pronounced olfactory impairment.


A demência frontotemporal apresenta-se clinicamente em três variantes: uma comportamental e duas com afasia progressiva primária - não fluente/agramática e semântica. Definida pelo processo degenerativo e atrofia cerebral, apresenta uma prevalência de disfunção olfatória de até 96% em séries anteriores. OBJETIVO: o presente estudo objetiva sintetizar criticamente dados sobre a relação entre DFT e o comprometimento olfatório para analisar a utilidade dos testes de avaliação olfatória como elemento complementar no diagnóstico precoce. MÉTODOS: uma pesquisa de banco de dados foi realizada usando as palavras-chave "olfactory OR smell OR olfaction AND frontotemporal dementia". Foram incluídos estudos que avaliaram a função olfatória em pacientes com diagnóstico de demência frontotemporal, todos os subtipos, em comparação com controles saudáveis ​​pareados por idade. Para fins de comparação, o tamanho do efeito foi calculado usando D de Cohen. Os estudos selecionados foram separados por variante de demência e tipo de teste olfativo. Uma meta-análise foi realizada utilizando gráficos floresta - sua homogeneidade foi avaliada por testes estatísticos (i2 e Cochran Q). RESULTADOS: dez artigos preencheram os critérios de inclusão. A heterogeneidade foi classificada como baixa para os grupos de identificação olfatória em demência semântica e discriminação olfatória em variante comportamental (i2 = 0 e 3.4%, respectivamente) e moderada para identificação olfatória no grupo de variante comportamental (i2 = 32.6%). CONCLUSÃO: pacientes com variante comportamental de demência frontotemporal parecem apresentar alterações na identificação de odores, com discriminação preservada. A identificação de odores parece estar prejudicada, também, na demência semântica. Desta forma, concluímos que a avaliação olfatória nesses pacientes é possivelmente impactada por alterações cognitivas e não por déficits sensoriais propriamente. A aplicação de testes olfatórios pode ser importante na diferenciação de estados prodrômicos de outros tipos de demência com comprometimento olfatório mais pronunciado.
