O olho mágico, o abrigo e a ameaça: convulções - Ruy Guerra filma Chico Buarque

Desde a década de 1990, o «cinema da retomada» focaliza a violência social, a corrupção e a crise institucional no Brasil. São poucos os filmes que se afastam desta postura de transparência e de ajuste aos códigos dominantes no mercado, trabalhando dentro de um estilo afinado ao cinema moderno de autor. Um dos melhores exemplos nesta direção é Estorvo (2000), de Ruy Guerra, adaptação do livro de Chico Buarque. O artigo demonstrará como o filme, tal qual a obra original, opta por uma narrativa que nos desconcerta ao trabalhar na própria forma a crise do sujeito na atualidade, repondo nossa interrogação sobre o percurso das personagens – e da ordem familiar – em seu peculiar envolvimento com aspectos contundentes da violência social no Brasil.

Multiple trichoblastomas in a dog

Background – Hair follicle tumours generally present as benign, solitary masses and have a good prognosis following surgical resection. Hypothesis/Objectives – This report describes a case of multiple trichoblastomas in a dog. Animal – A 2-year-old crossbred dog presented with multiple soft cutaneous periocular, perilabial, submandibular and nasal nodules, between 2 and 9 cm in diameter, located on the right side of the face. New nodules were observed on the same side of the face at a second consultation 3 weeks later. Methods – Surgical resection of all nodules was performed in two procedures. Three nodules were initially resected and submitted for histolopathology and immunohistochemistry. The diagnosis was trichoblastoma for all three. At the time of the second consultation, new and remaining nodules were biopsied and the diagnosis of trichoblastoma confirmed. The dog was treated with doxorubicin and piroxicam for 30 days prior to the second surgical procedure in an attempt to reduce new tumour growth and the size of present tumours. All nodules were resected and the defects closed using rotation flaps. Results – No recurrence of the neoplasm was noted within 10 months after surgery. Conclusions and clinical importance – Trichoblastomas are generally benign but can present as multiple neoplasms that may require surgical resection and may respond to chemotherapy. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of multiple trichoblastomas in a dog.
