A doença de Parkinson (DP) acarreta em déficits sensoriais e comprometimentos motores, tornando mais desafiador a ultrapassagem de obstáculos. Tropeços durante a ultrapassagem de obstáculos é um dos principais motivos das quedas de idosos com DP. A presença de obstáculos durante o andar é comum no dia-a-dia das pessoas. Mudanças na altura dos obstáculos podem gerar instabilidade durante a ultrapassagem do obstáculo, o que aumenta o risco de contato com o obstáculo e, consequentemente, o risco de tropeços e quedas. Ainda, ambientes mais complexos, por exemplo, com mais de um obstáculo, aumentam a exigência dos sistemas sensorial, atencional e motor. Entretanto, até o momento, nenhum estudo analisou o andar de idosos com DP durante a ultrapassagem de mais de um obstáculo. O objetivo do presente estudo é investigar a influência da ultrapassagem de dois obstáculos nos parâmetros espaciais e temporais do andar de idosos com DP, considerando o efeito da altura do obstáculo (obstáculo baixo e alto). Participaram do estudo 20 idosos com DP com estágio da DP até 3 na escala de Hoehn & Yahr. Na realização da tarefa do andar, o idoso percorreu andando uma distância retilínea de 8 m sobre uma passarela com 0,79 m de largura. A instrução dada ao participante foi de realizar a tarefa de andar na sua velocidade preferida até o final da passarela. Cada participante realizou um total de 12 tentativas (3 tentativas para cada condição) nas seguintes condições: andar com ultrapassagem de um obstáculo de 5 cm; andar com ultrapassagem de um obstáculo de 15 cm; andar com ultrapassagem de dois obstáculos de 5 cm; andar com ultrapassagem de dois obstáculos de 15 cm. A ordem de apresentação dos blocos foi randomizadas entre os participantes. Os parâmetros espaçotemporais do andar foram coletados por meio do GAITRite® e um sistema optoeletrônico, com frequência de 100 Hz. Os parâmetros analisados foram comprimento (cm)...

Crohn’s disease is a chronic infl ammatory bowel disease with segmental transmural infl ammation, which complicate with formation of fi stulas and abscesses. The hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is characterized by recurrent abscesses, with a predilection for areas rich in apocrine glands such as the axillary, inguinal and perineal. The differential diagnosis between these diseases is diffi cult and may compromise treatment. Report case: C.R.M.A., 40 year-old, female, white, ileal and colonic Crohn’s disease complicated with perianal and rectovaginal fi stula for 12 years, treated with biological therapy since May 2010. In Sep/2010 presented with an abscess in the buttock D with purulent discharge refractory to the use of ciprofl oxacin and metronidazole. USG: collection of 30 cm3 in buttock D. The diagnosis was HS and the patient underwent extensive surgical removal of the affected areas (10 x 2 cm) with healing by secondary intention. Skin graft performed unsuccessfully in Dec/2010. The patient returned in jan/2011 with a new fi stula at the site of resection, consistent with Crohn’s disease. In fev/2011 underwent drainage of abscesses and placement of setons in perianal fi stulas. Currently in therapy with good biological evolution of fi stulas. The prevalence of HS varies from 0.3 to 4% of the population in general. The axilla is the region most affected and perianal lesions are associated with greater weakness. There are published reports of association between HS and Crohn’s disease sporadically and further studies are needed to assess a common pathogenesis. The differential diagnosis should be performed in all cases planning immediate treatment, avoiding complications and worsening of the patient’s quality of life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
