The annual vaccination campaign against rabies is the most effective prevention procedure for this disease in dogs and cats and hence for human protection also. However, in 2010 and 2011, this activity was interrupted in Brazil due to the occurrence of adverse events associated with vaccination. Even though cases of canine rabies have been decreasing in the last two decades, vigilance must be strengthened in order to maintain pet owners trust in the vaccines provided in public services. This study aimed to determine pet owners participation in the annual vaccination campaign carried out in Botucatu. During March and April 2012, the period before the 42nd campaign, 312 pet owners, dogs and cats, were interviewed. The homes were randomly drawn in blocks from different sectors of the city; all houses on the same block over the 120 km² of urban area participated in the sampling process. Statistical analysis was performed descriptively. The results showed that the owners main motivation to vaccinate their pets during the campaigns is rabies prevention (36%), followed by the proximity of the vaccination station to the house (20.7%), zero cost (10.9%), and the combination of all three factors (16.1%). When asked if they would take their animals back to be vaccinated in another campaign, 60.1% answered yes, 13.5% would go to a private clinic, 2.2% would not take because they do not trust the vaccine and 1.6% had not decided yet. We conclude that the respondents have realized how dangerous Rabies is, because even after the break period, they still utilized the vaccination campaign demonstrating confidence in its effectiveness, while knowing the campaign goals facilitates understanding and participation.

Pet animals are closer to their owners and for this reason erroneously share the same alimentation. Several substances can cause intoxication or poisoning in dogs and cats, being many of those also found in human food. Some foods that are edible for humans or even to other animal species can be risky for dogs and cats due to different metabolic pathways, and further damage can be caused depending on the amount or concentration consumed. Poisoning in animals occur intentionally or accidentally in the household of its owner, occurring acute onset of clinical signs. Thus, the objective of this review was to present the food products for humans that cannot be given to dogs and cats as well as clinical signs characteristic of a toxicosis, also demonstrating the therapy for the damage created by consumption of those substances. This review explores the mechanisms of action and clinical signs of toxicosis caused by chocolate, xylitol, macadamia nuts, onions, garlic, grapes and raisins, avocado, alcoholic beverages and milk.

A transmissão de Doenças Sexualmente Transmissíveis (DSTs) tem aumentado significativamente nos últimos anos entre os adolescentes, como apresentam os dados do Boletim Epidemiológico de AIDS publicado pelo Ministério da Saúde, juntamente com o aumento do número de adolescentes grávidas. Dessa forma, o projeto de extensão PET - Saúde objetiva transmitir um conhecimento prevencionista aos jovens vulneráveis a essa situação, trabalhando com estudantes do ciclo II do ensino fundamental dos colégios municipais de Nova Europa. Os alunos que participaram da atividade responderam voluntariamente um questionário antes e após a atividade, que avaliava qualitativamente o conhecimento que possuíam acerca do tema DSTs e gravidez na adolescência. Através da análise desses questionários, foi possível perceber que os jovens possuíam conhecimento sobre o uso de preservativo para a prevenção de DSTs e gravidez (86,9% e 82,8%), mas que o mesmo não se aplicava quanto ao conhecimento de sintomas de DSTs (66,8%), que foi aprimorado após a atividade (80%). Além disso, as meninas apresentaram conhecimento acerca de outros métodos contraceptivos diferentes do preservativo e importância da vacina contra o HPV, provavelmente pelo fato dos meninos lidarem com a vida sexual de uma forma diferente. Apesar de conhecimento prévio sobre o assunto, ações educativas contínuas podem aumentar o conhecimento dos jovens sobre DSTs e gravidez.
