Paracoccidioidomicose cutânea: reveladora de doença sistêmica

Contexto: A paracoccidioidomicose é uma doença de apresentação clínica polimórfica, sendo a micose sistêmica de maior prevalência no Brasil. Relato de caso: Descrevemos o caso de um paciente de 49 anos que apresentava úlcera de crescimento progressivo há um ano no primeiro dedo da mão direita. Durante a investigação, foi realizado diagnóstico de paracoccidioidomicose forma crônica com acometimento cutâneo e pulmonar, apesar da ausência de clínica respiratória. Conclusões: Por apresentar evolução insidiosa na forma crônica, o diagnóstico da paracoccidioidomicose pode passar despercebido devido à grande dissociação clinicorradiológica nas formas pulmonares. Portanto, a presença de lesões cutâneas indica a possibilidade de acometimento sistêmico.

Doença cerebelar em cães e gatos

Diseases of the cerebellar system are common in small animals, and result in a clinical syndrome characterized by hypermetria, base-wide stance and intentional tremors of the head and body. All movements of the limbs are spastic and awkward. The neurological examination assists in the localization of lesions restricted to the cerebellum or in the detection of disorders relating to other parts of the nervous system, which characterizes a multifocal disease process. Neurological disorders in dogs and cats may suggest a very extensive list of differential diagnoses, since they may be caused by infectious, degenerative and traumatic processes, among others. The possible etiologies for cerebellar syndrome include: aplasia and hypoplasia, abiotrophy, cancer, vascular stroke and inflammatory disorders. The aim of this paper is to review the clinical signs that aid in the location of the cerebellar lesion and discuss the possible causes of this syndrome in dogs and cats.

Mastite infecciosa equina: uma visão geral da doença

Mastits is considered uncommon disease in mares. Streptococcus equi, Staphylococcus sp., Corynebacterium sp., Actinobacillus sp., Nocardia sp. and enterobacterias are major microorganisms involved in equine mammary infections. The disease is commonly related to traumatic lesions in mammary glands and teats. Edema, fibrosis, masses to palpation of glands, and viscous to seropurulent milk are mainly clinical signs observed in affected animals. The diagnosis is based on clinical exam of mammary glands and microbiological culture of the milk. There are no standard to use of indirect exams on diagnosis, including California Mastits Test and Somatic Cell Count. Systemic antimicrobials are recommended in therapy, based on previous “in vitro” susceptibility microbiological test. No specific control measures are indicated in equine mastits. The present study reviewed the mastits in mares, with emphasis to etiology, epidemiology findings, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, treatment and control aspects.

Atividade física e qualidade de vida em pacientes com doença renal crônica submetidos à hemodiálise

Objective: To analyze and correlate the physical activity level (PAL) and the quality of life (QL) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergone hemodialyses and to verify in practitioner of physical activity (PPA) if they follow rules and recommendations on their own practice. Methods: The QL (KDQOL-SFTM questionnaire), PAL (IPAQ questionnaire) and the evaluation of rules and recomendations to practice PA were analyzed in one hundred patients. Results: It was observed commitment on different dimensions of QL, higher values to sexual function and social support (88,6) and lower ones to professional paper (25,2) and physical function (47,7). Most patients shows low values of PAL and most PPA implement the exercises incorrectly. It was observed differences between PAL and some areas of QL. Conclusion: Patients with CKD undergone hemodialysis presented low values to PAL, commitment on QL, and most of the patients that realized PA did not implement rules and recomendations on their own practice.

Percepção da doença mental por profissionais de saúde: possibilidades de ampliação do cuidado

This study approached perceptions of mental illness by nineteen professionals who work in a Family Health Unit, by means of graphic representations (drawings). We used qualitative methods. Data was collected by means of a Presentative-Expressive Procedure. Four themes were identified using Thematic Analysis. The professionals associate mental disorders with: health care, medical-centered view, exclusion/inclusion, social environment. These perceptions are related to a biological paradigm, favoring the reproduction of prejudices about mental illness. The analysis also emphasizes the importance of a wide range of cares, while considering how difficult it may be for the professionals. We conclude that it is necessary to invest on professional preparation, in an attempt to transform ideoaffective contents presented by the subjects’ imaginary.
