Retroflexão de bexiga: relato de caso em Blastocerus dichotomus (Cervo-do-Pantanal)

A retroflexão de bexiga foi objeto de estudo em cervídeo atendido no Hospital Veterinário da FCAV-Unesp-Jaboticabal-SP. Uma fêmea gestante do criatório da Faculdade apresentou prolapso de bexiga e de reto. A cesariana foi efetuada, porém sem sucesso para ambos. Após esse procedimento, o animal foi sacrificado devido ao comprometimento total da bexiga.

Intervenção fonoaudiológica na síndrome de kabuki: relato de caso

TEMA: este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever o processo de intervenção fonoaudiológica em um caso de síndrome de Kabuki, com ênfase na terapia de linguagem. PROCEDIMENTOS: trata-se de relato de caso de uma criança de seis anos e seis meses de idade, gênero feminino, com diagnóstico de síndrome de Kabuki, que realizou terapia fonoaudiológica durante três anos em uma clínica-escola. Foi realizada análise documental dos dados do prontuário relativos à anamnese, avaliação e relatórios terapêuticos fonoaudiológicos, exames e avaliações multidisciplinares. Aos três anos e cinco meses, a criança passou por avaliação fonoaudiológica e apresentou, como histórico, características típicas da síndrome de Kabuki: alteração cardíaca, episódios de pneumonia, otite média secretora recorrente, alterações ortopédicas e crises convulsivas. Na avaliação fonoaudiológica, apresentou tempo de atenção auditiva e visual reduzido, dificuldade de compreensão oral, comunicação por meio de poucos gestos e vocalizações e problemas de comportamento. RESULTADOS: o processo terapêutico teve como objetivo principal promover o desenvolvimento da linguagem com ênfase na interação social por meio de atividades lúdicas, orientação familiar e escolar. Foi observada melhora na compreensão e emissão oral, no contato social e manutenção da atenção. CONCLUSÃO: este estudo permitiu divulgar o percurso de atuação fonoaudiológica na síndrome de Kabuki, do processo diagnóstico à terapia de linguagem. Verificou-se que a terapia foi eficaz no que se refere às habilidades comunicativas e de interação social. Esses dados podem contribuir para elucidar lacunas existentes na literatura acerca da terapia fonoaudiológica na síndrome em questão e subsidiar intervenções clínicas nesses casos.

Adenocarcinoma de cólon com diferenciação neuro-endócrina e escamosa. Relato de caso.

A tubular adenocarcinoma of the colon with solid area composed by small cells that was found by immunohistochemistry study using antibody to neuron-specific enolase (NSE) to possess neuroendocrine differentiation is related. In another areas of the tumor were visualized keratinizing squamous cells. The presence of neuro-endocrine and squamous cells features provide further evidence that neoplastic colonic cells have the capacity for multi-directional differentiation. The implications of this combination in relation to theories of tumor origin and differentiation and the prognostic significance of neuro-endocrine cells in malignant neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract are discussed.

Litíase intrahepática primária. Relato de caso e revisão da literatura.

Primary intrahepatic lithiasis is an entity defined by intrahepatic stones exclusively located in the IH ducts above the emergence of the common bile duct. The disease is classified in two types: Eastern type (stones formed primarily in intrahepatic ducts; frequent in Japan) and Western type (stones formed in the extrahepatic bile system, usually in gallbladder, which migrate up to the intra-hepatic ducts). The mechanisms of lithogenesis in the entity are as yet not fully understood; multiple factors seem to operate synergistically: anatomical changes of the intrahepatic ducts, metabolic disorders, infections, idiopathic alteration. All these factors may facilitate biliary stasis leading ultimately to stone formation. We report on a case of and review the literature on primary intrahepatic lithiasis, which is a rare occurrence in the West and a disease of difficult surgical approach and high mortality.

NEUROFIBROMATOSE DE LINGUA - RELATO DE CASO

Neurofibromatosis may involve any part of the body, including cervical-facial region and intra-oral structures. The authors present a case of neurofibromatosis involving the tongue. They emphasize the need of close follow up of the patients as those lesions often show a high rate of recurrence.

Reativação da retocolite ulcerativa com o uso de droga anti-inflamatória não esteróide: relato de caso e revisão da literatura

The case of a patient with ulcerative colitis and isolated sacro-ileitis is presented. She suffered reactivation of the intestinal disease with diclofenac. The patient was allergic to sulfasalazine and was using fish oil fatty acid.

It is suggested when necessary the utilization of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that inhibits the lipoxygenase in these patients.

Ectima gangrenoso: Relato de caso

Report of a case of ecthyma gangrenosum with septicemia by Pseudomonas aeruginosa with favorable evolution in a 3-month-old boy. This disease is relatively rare, potentially lethal and the early diagnosis and treatment has an important role in the clinical evolution.

Tinea nigra: Relato de caso e revisao da literatura brasileira

The authors present a clinical case of palmar Tinea nigra in a 19-year-old young woman. The Brazilian literature concerning Tinea nigra is discussed as well as the reports presented in Brazilian Congresses from 1985 to 1995. The data show that 63.3% of the cases occurred in patients younger than 20-years-old, they were more frequent among females and 90.5% were localized on the palms; among the cases reported in the Brazilian Congresses those of atypical localization as the back and the genital area are worth noticing.

Histoplasmose do esôfago: Relato de caso

The authors report a case of a patient with complaint of progressive disphagia. Stenoses of lower third of esophagus was revealed by radiological and endoscopic examinations. Fungi were showed in biopsy of lesion, with demonstration of Histoplasm capsulate by tissue culture. Endoscopic dilatation was performed because especific medical treatment failed but esophageal rupture was observed. Partial esophagectomy was performed with symptoms remission.

Sindrome das bandas ou constricoes amnioticas: Relato de caso

The authors present a case of constriction band syndrome in a 20-year-old male. There were constriction rings in the interphalangeal joints of hands and in the thigh, shortening of the lower limb and atrophic left gastrocnemius muscle. These findings belong to the described syndrome, which is uncommon and has no genetic implication. Personal antecedent: convulsive syndrome and corrective surgery for congenital bent foot.

Espinha bífida e mielodisplasia em ruminantes: Relato de caso

Spina bifida with mielodysplasia are described in calf and lamb in this report. Locomotor abnormalities in the pelvic limbs and vertebral malformation were found in both animals, and arthrogryposis was also present in the calf. The mielodysplasia was very similar in these animals, and both were characterized by non separation of ventral and dorsal horns, areas with medular canal duplication and syringomyelia. No cases of spina bifida was previously described in Brazil.
