Clínica e cirurgia de pequenos animais

Este relatório foi elaborado na sequencia do estágio curricular realizado pelo autor, ente 28 de setembro de 2015 e 28 de março de 2016, no Hospital Clínico Veterinario de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera (HCV CEU-UCH), em Alfara del Patriarca, Valência, Espanha. A infeciologia foi a área da clínica médica mais representativa (28%), sendo o vírus da imunodeficiência felina (FIV) o agente infecioso registado mais frequentemente (19%). É importante reconhecer e diagnosticar esta infeção de forma a aplicar um maneio adequado aos pacientes infetados, melhorando a sua qualidade de vida e prevenindo a propagação do vírus. A infeção provocada pelo FIV raramente provoca uma síndrome severa, porém, várias alterações podem decorrer. Apesar do FIV provocar uma infeção crónica, com os cuidados adequados, os pacientes infetados poderão viver vidas longas, com uma boa qualidade de vida, e eventualmente acabar por morrer de causas não relacionadas com o FIV; Abstract: Small Animal Medicine and Surgery This report was elaborated following the externship performed by the author, between September 28th 2015 and March 28th 2016, at the Hospital Clínico Veterinario de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera (HCV CEU-UCH), in Alfara del Patriarca, Valencia, Spain. The most frequent specialty field within the area of internal medicine was infectiology (28%), with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) being the infectious agent most frequently registered (19%). It is important to recognize and diagnose the infection caused by this agent accurately, so that the right measures of management can be applied, improving the life’s quality of the patient and reducing the risk of viral spreading. The infection by FIV rarely produces a severe syndrome, however many clinicopathologic disorders may occur. FIV causes a chronic infection, however, with the proper care, the infected cats may live long lives, with a fair quality, eventually ending up dying from causes unrelated to FIV.

Lusitanian Amphorae in Carthago Nova (Cartagena, Spain): Distribution and Research Questions

The presence of Lusitanian amphorae in the region of Carthago Nova (Cartagena, Spain) has been known for a few years, and yet it has never been the subject of a monographic study. Integrated in the commercial networks of the western Mediterranean, these products circulated within the harbour system of this city between the 1st and the 5th century AD. This paper aims to present a synthesised review of the main Lusitanian imports that were detected: Dressel 14 and Almagro 50, Almagro 51a-b and Almagro 51c. The difficulty in identifying the ceramic fabrics and the scarce documentation regarding some finds pose complex problems. This study extends to the hinterland of the colony and to other nearby settlements, such as Portmán and Puerto de Mazarrón.
