Hong CS, Smith TR. Aerobic exercise interventions to address impaired quality of life in patients with pituitary tumors. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0295907.

Abstract
Patients with pituitary tumors may experience persistent fatigue and reduced physical activity, based on subjective measures after treatment. These symptoms may persist despite gross total resection of their tumors and biochemical normalization of pituitary function. While reduced quality of life has been commonly acknowledged in pituitary tumor patients, there is a lack of studies on what interventions may be best implemented to ameliorate these issues, particularly when hormonal levels have otherwise normalized. Aerobic exercise programs have been previously described to ameliorate symptoms of chronic fatigue and reduced physical capacity across a variety of pathologies in the literature. As such, a prescribed aerobic exercise program may be an underrecognized but potentially impactful intervention to address quality of life in pituitary tumor patients. This review seeks to summarize the existing literature on aerobic exercise interventions in patients with pituitary tumors. In addition, future areas of study are discussed, including tailoring exercise programs to the hormonal status of the patient and incorporating more objective measures in monitoring response to interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The hypothalamus regulates energy homeostasis, and its damage results in severe obesity. We aimed to investigate the multifaceted characteristics of hypothalamic obesity. METHODS We performed multidimensional analyses of brain structure/function and psychological and behavioral phenotypes in 29 patients with hypothalamic damage (HD) (craniopharyngioma) and 31 controls (non-functional pituitary adenoma). Patients underwent structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging and completed self-reports and cognitive tasks. RESULTS Patients with HD showed significantly higher postoperative weight gain than controls. The HD group also showed significant hypothalamic damage and lower neural activation in the left caudate nucleus in response to food images. The HD group had significantly higher food inattention, lower satiety, and higher restrained eating behavior. Within the HD group, higher restrained eating behavior was significantly associated with lower activation in the bilateral fusiform gyrus. CONCLUSION These results suggest that hypothalamic damage contributes to weight gain by altering the brain response, attention, satiety, and eating behaviors. The present study proposes novel neuro-psycho-behavioral mechanisms targeted for patients with hypothalamic obesity.

Fornix alterations induce the disruption of default mode network in patients with adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas. Neuroimage Clin 2022; 36:103215. [PMID: 36201952 PMCID: PMC9668598 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2022.103215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACPs) are rare embryonic tumors and often involve the hypothalamus. The underlying neural substrate of the hypothalamic involvement (HI)-related cognitive decline in patients with ACP is still unclear. We aimed to combine the multi-modal neuroimaging and histological characteristics of the ACP to explore the potential neural substrate of the HI-related cognitive decline. 45 patients with primary ACPs (invasive, 23; noninvasive, 22) and 52 healthy control subjects (HCs) were admitted to the cross-sectional study. No significant difference in cognitive domains was observed between HCs and patients with noninvasive ACPs (NACP). Patients with invasive ACPs (IACP) showed significantly lower working memory performance (WM, p = 0.002) than patients with NACP. The WM decline was correlated with the disruption of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) subsystem in the default mode network (DMN) (r = 0.45, p = 0.004). The increased radial diffusivity of the fornix, indicating demyelinating process, was correlated with the disruption of the MTL subsystem (r = -0.48, p = 0.002). Our study demonstrated that the fornix alterations link DMN disruption to HI-related cognitive decline in patients with ACPs. ACPs that invade the hypothalamus can provide a natural disease model to investigate the potential neural substrate of HI-related cognitive decline.

Physical function, body mass index, and fitness outcomes in children, adolescents, and emerging adults with craniopharyngioma from proton therapy through five years of follow-up. J Neurooncol 2022; 159:713-723. [PMID: 35987949 PMCID: PMC9392500 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-022-04116-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Children diagnosed with craniopharyngioma are vulnerable to adverse health outcomes. Characterization of body mass index (BMI), physical function, and cardiopulmonary fitness in those treated with proton radiotherapy (PRT) will serve to design interventions to improve outcomes. Methods Ninety-four children with craniopharyngioma completed physical function testing prior to PRT and annually for 5 years. For each outcome, age- and sex-specific z-scores were calculated using normative values. Participants with z-scores > 1.5 or < − 1.5 were classified as impaired. Those with z-scores > 2.0 or < − 2.0 were classified as significantly impaired. Descriptive statistics were used to describe study outcomes and change in prevalence of impairments from 2 to 5 years after treatment. Results Nearly half of participants [45.2%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 39.4, 51.0] had mean BMI z-scores > 1.5 at baseline, with prevalence increasing to 66.7% (95% CI 61.5, 71.9) at 5 years. More than half of participants (54.2%, 95% CI 48.4, 60.0) had knee extension strength z-scores < − 1.5 at baseline, with prevalence increasing to 81.3% (95% CI 77.7, 84.9) at 5 years. BMI and knee extension strength had the largest proportion of participants impaired at both 2 and 5 years (53.2% and 62.3%, respectively). Resting heart rate had the highest proportion of participants not impaired at 2 years but became impaired at 5 years (26.6%). Conclusions Children with craniopharyngioma have BMI and fitness abnormalities at diagnosis and continue 5 years after treatment. This cohort may benefit from interventions designed to improve BMI, strength, and resting indicators of cardiopulmonary fitness.

Better detection of reduced motor functioning in brain tumor survivors based on objective motor assessments: an incentive for improved standardized follow-up. Eur J Pediatr 2022; 181:2731-2740. [PMID: 35476292 PMCID: PMC9192471 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-022-04472-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Long-term sequelae are well-known in childhood brain tumor survivors, but motor functioning remains poorly described. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess objective motor functioning, patient-specific risk factors, and parental perceptions. Fifty-two childhood brain tumor patients (pilocytic astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, and other types) who were at least 6 months out of treatment were evaluated. Mean age at testing was 11.7 years. Objective motor functioning was assessed with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2-NL) and/or Bruininks-Oseretsky test of motor proficiency (BOT-2). Functional walking capacity was assessed with the 6-min walk test (6MWT). Parent-reported motor functioning was addressed using the ABILHAND-Kids, ABILOCO-Kids questionnaires, and a standardized anamnesis. Patients showed impaired motor functioning in all domains (p < 0.001). Regarding risk factors, younger age at diagnosis (< 5 year) was significantly associated with lower scores on body coordination (p = 0.006). Adjuvant treatment resulted in lower scores for fine manual control of the BOT-2 (p = 0.024) and balance of MABC-2-NL (p = 0.036). Finally, questionnaires revealed an underestimation of motor problems as perceived by the parents. In conclusion, many children who are in follow-up for a brain tumor show impaired motor functioning on multiple aspects, with younger age at diagnosis and adjuvant treatment as specific risk factors. Based on the questionnaires and anamnesis, motor problems appear to be underestimated by the parents. Conclusion: These findings point to the need for timely prospective screening of motor functioning. Based on a screening assessment, adequate rehabilitation programs can be applied in childhood brain tumor survivors, aiming to reduce the adverse impact on their daily lives, both for functional activities and cardiovascular fitness. What is Known: • A pediatric brain tumor and its treatment are associated with potential long-term motor sequelae. • Test assessments could enable us to objectify motor functioning of these patients. What is New: • Pediatric brain tumors survivors show lower motor performance compared to the norm, which is often underestimated by parents. • Younger age at diagnosis and adjuvant treatment could be specific risk factors.

Abstract
Despite its benign histopathology, the treatment of craniopharyngioma remains one of the most formidable challenges faced by skull base surgeons. The technical challenges of tackling these complex central skull base lesions are paralleled by clinical challenges related to their unique tumor biology and the often-complex decision making required. In this article, we critically appraise the most recent literature to explore the challenges and controversies surrounding the management of these lesions. The role of curative resections and the shift in the surgical paradigm toward the multidisciplinary goal-directed management approach are discussed.

Abstract
AbstractCraniopharyngiomas (CP) are brain tumors that often occur in children and adolescent that results in many neurological and endocrinological disorders. The aim of this systematic review is to provide updated version of studies used to formalize standard tests used for cognitive impairment in pediatric patients with craniopharyngioma. A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, EBSCO, ProQuest, Science Direct, Wiley Online, and Springer to identify studies assessing cognitive impairment in pediatric patients with craniopharyngioma. Academic and learning dysfunctions were reported in seven studies among 41 of 178 patients (23%). Visual–spatial deficits were reported in six studies. Speech and verbal dysfunctions were reported in three studies. Memory deficits were reported in eight studies among 61 of 197 patients (31%). Motor dysfunctions were reported in five studies. Sleep related issues were reported in four studies among 33 of 70 patients (47.1%). Patients with treated pediatric CP demonstrate a high incidence of neurological deficits including cognitive dysfunctions. Academic and learning dysfunctions, visual–spatial deficits, speech and verbal dysfunctions, memory deficits, and sleep-related issues were the most commonly reported cognitive deficits in the present study.
