Efeitos cardiorrespiratórios da metadona, pelas vias intramuscular e intravenosa, em cadelas submetidas à ovariossalpingo-histerectomia

Methadone is a little used opioid in veterinary practice, and there are still questions about its use. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) administration of methadone on cardiopulmonary parameters and times of extubation and recovery in female dogs submitted to ovariohysterectomy. Sixteen adult female dogs were used and premedicated with levomepromazine (0.6mg/kg, IM). After 20 minutes, propofol (5mg/kg, IV) was used for induction and anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane. After 10 minutes, methadone at 0.3mg/kg was administered intravenously in IVG and intramuscularly in IMG. The measurement of heart (HR) and respiratory rates (RR), median arterial pressure (MAP), esophagic temperature (ET) and concentration of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PE'CO2) was performed immediately before the administration of the opioid (T0), after 20 minutes (T1) and then at 10-minute intervals (T2, T3, T4 and T5). The statistical analysis used was profile (5%). HR, APM, RR, PE'CO2, BT and SpO2 did not differ significantly among times or between groups at any time. Times of extubation and recovery were higher in IVG. It is possible to conclude that IV and IM administration of methadone did not produce changes in the cardiorespiratory parameters of that specie.

Anestesia local por tumescência com lidocaína em cadelas submetidas a mastectomia

The present study investigated the benefits of tumescent anesthesia with lidocaine in dogs undergoing mastectomy, seeking the patients' comfort and their postoperative recovery. Seven animals, with different weight and breed, who had cancer in the region of mammary chain underwent mastectomy surgery. All animals received the same anesthetic protocol being used as the association between acepromazine and morphine doses of 0.04mg.kg-1 and 0.4mg.kg-1 (IM), respectively. After 15 minutes a catheter was placed in the cephalic vein and induction with propofol 4mg.kg-1 and 0.2mg.kg-1 followed by maintenance with isoflurane anesthesia was done. After instrumentation, we proceeded to the tumescent anesthesia technique with ice-cold solution consisting of Ringer's lactate, lidocaine 2% without epinephrine and adrenaline in a total volume of 15mL.kg-1. The average duration of the procedure was 74±18 minutes. The plasmatic peak of lidocaine was between 30 and 60 minutes after infiltration. The rescue analgesic was performed after approximately seven hours of infiltration. It can be concluded that the tumescent anesthesia with lidocaine should be considered as a constituent of anesthetic and analgesic protocol in dogs undergoing mastectomy surgery providing parameter stability, safety and good quality postoperative recovery.

Atividade física em gestantes assistidas na atenção primária à saúde

OBJETIVO Analisar o padrão de atividade física de gestantes de baixo risco e os fatores associados. MÉTODOS Estudo transversal com 256 gestantes adultas no segundo trimestre gestacional, sorteadas dentre as assistidas pelas unidades de atenção primária à saúde do município de Botucatu, SP, em 2010. As atividades físicas foram investigadas por meio do “pregnancy physical activity questionnaire”, verificando-se tempo e intensidade de atividades ocupacionais, de deslocamento, domésticas e de lazer, expressos em equivalentes metabólicos dia. As gestantes foram classificadas segundo nível de atividade e em relação a atingir 150 min/semana de atividades físicas de lazer, variáveis dependentes do estudo. A associação entre essas variáveis e as socioeconômicas, características maternas, fatores comportamentais e modelo de atenção da unidade de saúde foi avaliada mediante modelos de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta, adotando-se modelo hierárquico. RESULTADOS A maior parte das gestantes era insuficientemente ativa (77,7%), 12,5% moderadamente ativa e 9,8% vigorosamente ativa. Os maiores gastos diários de energia foram com atividades domésticas, seguidas pelas atividades de locomoção; 10,2% atingiram a recomendação de 150 min semanais de atividades físicas de lazer. Trabalho fora de casa reduziu a chance de atingir essa recomendação (RP = 0,39, IC95% 0,16;0,93). Ter tido pelo menos um parto anterior (RP = 0,87, IC95% 0,77;0,99) e excesso ponderal pré-gestacional (RP = 0,85, IC95% 0,731;0,99) reduziram a chance de ser insuficientemente ativa, enquanto consumir menos alimentos saudáveis teve aumento discreto (RP = 1,18, IC95% 1,02;1,36). CONCLUSÕES Gestantes assistidas na atenção primária à saúde são insuficientemente ativas. Ter tido pelo menos um parto e apresentar sobrepeso pré-gestacional foram identificados como fatores protetores contra tal situação, enquanto consumo menos frequente de alimentos saudáveis foi fator de risco, sugerindo aglomeração de fatores de risco à saúde.

Avaliação ultrassonográfica dos efeitos da acupuntura na involução uterina em cadelas

The aim of this study was to evaluate, by means of ultrasound exam, acupuncture effects on uterine involution during the postpartum period in bitches with electroacupuncture. The phenomenon of eutocic uterine involution was studied in 16 bitches, randomly divided into two groups of eight animals each. Group 1 (G1) was treated with electric stimulation (electroacupuncture) of the needle at the points SP6, L3, Bai Hui, TB1, B23, B26, and group 2 (G2), the control group, received treatment in Sham points (placebo points), also with electrical stimuli. The monitoring of the phenomenon of uterine involution was performed by ultrasonography on days 0 (partum), 1, 3, 7 and 14 postpartum. We used SAS statistical analysis method, in order to compare the groups. The results of ultrasound examinations (mean and standard deviations in cm) for the period of observation were as follows: G1: 0.30 ± 0.01 (P), 2.08 ± 0.21 (LU), 4.13 ± 0.23 (DU) and G2: 0.31 ± 0.01 (P) 1.82 ± 0.09 (LU), 3.92 ± 0.11 (DU). We concluded that electroacupuncture affected uterine tone (lasting and uniform at the end of treatment). Electroacupuncture produces a positive tone in the uterus, aiding at the prevention of puerperal diseases.

Avaliação da imunomarcação de células-tronco tumorais em carcinossarcomas mamários e carcinomas em tumores mistos em cadelas

Cancer stem cells belong to a small population of cells within the tumor with properties of self-renewal and differentiation into other cell types. In this study, the behavior of both portions, mesenchymal and epithelial, was evaluated. Six carcinosarcomas (CSs), 11 carcinomas within mixed tumors (CWMTs) grade I, 11 grade II, and 10 grade III were evaluated. In the epithelial portions of the CS and CWMTs was observed immunostaining for antibodies CD44, CD24, Oct-4 and ALDH-1. In the mesenchymal portions of the CS, in the epithelial portions of CMTs grades II and III no immunostaining for ALDH-1 was found. It was concluded that the tumor stem cells are expressed in equal proportions in the epithelial and mesenchymal portions of the CS. No immunostaining in the mesenchymal portions of well-differentiated CWMTs was seen.

Ovariohisterectomia por videocirurgia (via NOTES vaginal híbrida), celiotomia ou miniceliotomia em cadelas

The elective ovariohysterectomy (OH) is the most frequent procedures performed in dogs. In this study was used three groups of seven animals each (GI, GII, and GIII) that was undergone to three elective OH techniques: (i) mini-celiotomy (Snook-hook technique), (ii) hybrid Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES), and (iii) celiotomy (conventional surgery). The surgical techniques were compared considering the surgery time, trans and postoperative complications, technical difficulties, postoperative pain, surgical bleedind and some vital parameters as: heart rate (FC), respiratory rate (), rectal temperature, invasive blood pressure (PVI) and central venous pressure (PVC). The OH by hybrid vaginal NOTES was the technique with the lowest post-surgical discomfort score and the lowest surgical bleeding, although its surgical time was higher compared to the conventional and the hook (mini-celiotomy) modalities.
