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.

Pregnancy Monitoring of In Vitro Produced Embryos in Buffaloes

In the present study, pregnancies obtained from 115 in vitro produced embryos were monitored by ultrasonography on days 30 and 60 after embryo transfer (ET), and at calving. Additionally, the health of newborns and recipients were also evaluated. On day 30 after ET, positive pregnancy was diagnosed in 50 animals (43.5%). A total of 8 fetal mortalities (16.0%) were verified from 30 days until calving, in which 2 occurred from 30 to 60 days after ET (4.0%), and 6 occurred from 60 days until calving (12.0%). In this last period of pregnancy, 3 pregnancy losses were due to abortion, and the other 3 were stillbirth. One additional animal was eliminated from the study, remaining 41 pregnancies. From these 41 pregnancies, a total of 20 female calves (48.8%) and 21 male calves (51.2%) were born. Pregnancies from female and male calves had a mean length of 309.8 and 310.9 days, respectively (range 300 to 328 days, and 297 to 320 days, respectively). Weight at calving was a mean of 31.4 and 33.8 kg for female and male calves, respectively. All calving occurred without intervention and dystocia was not observed in any case. No large offspring syndrome, hydramnios, hydroallantois, or umbilical cord anomalies were observed in calves. Delivery was normal in all recipients, and no puerperal infections, or retained placenta occurred. Suckling assistance was not necessary in any newborn. All genetic pedigree was confirmed later by DNA tests.

Procalcitonina e interleicina-6 em crianças com diagnóstico de sepse e choque séptico

Sepse é causa comum de mortalidade e morbidade em unidades de tratamento intensivo, sendo atualmente entendida como a resposta sistêmica à infecção, resposta esta caracterizada por duas ou mais das seguintes manifestações: temperatura corporal > 38°C ou < 36°C; taquicardia; taquipnéia; e alteração da contagem de células brancas (leucocitose ou leucopenia) ou mais de 10% de formas imaturas. Entretanto, tem sido descrito que os elementos que caracterizam a resposta sistêmica são muito sensíveis, insuficientemente específicos e não levam em consideração o avanço do entendimento da fisiopatologia da doença. Além disso, a sepse tem fisiopatologia complexa, o que dificulta ainda mais o diagnóstico, principalmente em crianças. O diagnóstico rápido e a instituição de tratamento o mais cedo possível são imperativos nos pacientes sépticos. Consequentemente, vários marcadores laboratoriais têm sido estudados, sendo que dos vários mediadores envolvidos na sepse, procalcitonina (PCT) e interleucina-6 (IL-6) têm despertado interesse pela possibilidade de auxiliar no diagnóstico e no estabelecimento da gravidade de pacientes adultos com sepse ou choque séptico, sendo que a PCT já foi incluída entre os critérios diagnósticos de sepse nestes indivíduos. Em pediatria... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Desenvolvimento e validação de método analítico para a quantificação de teicoplanina injetável por turbidimetria

A teicoplanina é um complexo antibiótico glicopeptídico derivado do Actinoplanes teichomyceticus, ativo contra bactérias Gram-positivas resistentes a outros antibióticos. Seu espectro de ação é similar ao da vancomicina, sendo, porém mais ativo para Streptococcus faecalis e Clostridium difficile. Seu uso é indicado para profilaxia de endocardite, peritonite, osteomielite e para septicemia estafilocócica. No Brasil, a teicoplanina é comercializada sob a forma farmacêutica de pó liofilizado, que deve ser reconstituído antes da administração. O medicamento de referência é o Targocid®, produzido pelo laboratório Sanofi-Aventis, em duas apresentações, 66 mg/mL e 133 mg/mL. A teicoplanina, bem como a vancomicina, inibe a síntese da parede celular bacteriana, pois a molécula se liga ao precursor da parede D-alanil-D-alanina, formando um complexo, impedindo a ligação à porção terminal do peptidoglicano, que é o alvo das enzimas transglicolase e transpeptidase. Desse modo, não há incorporação de aminoácidos aos glicopeptídeos integrantes da parede celular das bactérias Gram-positivas. No estudo de validação, foram aplicados os parâmetros de linearidade, intervalo, precisão, sensibilidade, especificidade, exatidão e robustez. O método desenvolvido e validado para a quantificação de teicoplanina pó liofilizado foi: Ensaio microbiológico por turbidimetria na faixa de concentração de 20,0 a 80,0 μg/mL, utilizando o micro-organismo Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228 IAL 2150. Os parâmetros estudados para a validação do método turbidimétrico atenderam a todas as especificações para a adequada quantificação de teicoplanina na forma farmacêutica pó liofilizado

Sanidade Uterina Pós Parto: Aspectos Imunológicos e Terapêuticos

Function of the uterus is often compromised in cattle by bacterial contamination of the uterine lumen after parturition. Pathogenic bacteria often persist, causing uterine disease, a major cause of infertility in cattle. Knowledge of the immunological aspects of the uterus involved in maintaining reproductive healthiness is fundamental to the study of uterine infections that affect the uterus postpartum. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes have an important role because they are the first line of defense against colonization of bacteria in utero (Hammon and Goff, 2006). The establishment of uterine infection depends in parts of endocrine environment, particularly progesterone, which suppresses the immune system (Lewis, 2003). In the puerperium may occur uterine disorders, such as retained placenta, puerperal metritis, clinical and subclinical endometritis and pyometra, this review was proposed a study of the immunology involved in uterine health and a better understanding of uterine disorders, using the model of Sheldon et al. al, (2006) for classification of diseases, and a study of best treatment options and discussion about its functionality, because a lot of controversy among authors about choosing a treatment and another and between treated and untreated

Frequência e perfil de gestantes com toxoplasmose em uma unidade de saúde de Matão - SP

Congenital toxoplasmosis is a serious public health case, for it causes irreversible damage to the embryo/fetus, which may cause its death. The identification and the care to pregnant women with suspect acute toxoplasmosis (IgM+) is performed in prenatal monitoring. This study aimed to measure the incidence and know the profile of positive pregnant women for toxoplasmosis in a Basic Health Unit (BHU) in Matão - SP, between the years 2011 to 2013. This is a retrospective descriptive study, from the medical records of pregnant women attended. The project was approved by the Municipal Departament of Health and BHU was chosen along the Municipal Epidemiological Surveillance. From 2011 to 2013, 189 women began prenatal care in the unit, an annual median of 71(±26.91), of which 17 (8.99%) were positive for the serological test indicative of acute phase (IgM+). The distribution over the trial period was: four cases in 2011, twelve cases in 2012 and one in 2013. Pregnant women IgM positive for toxoplasmosis attend by BHU were: age 24(±5.47) years; color: equally distributed among white, black and brown; as the number of pregnancies: multiparous (2±0.97), most of them with a cesarean delivery as obstetric history and possessed no other risk factors associated with pregnancy (94.12%); gave entrance at BHU with 13.65(±7.35) weeks of gestation and had a median of 5(±2.36) consultation on their prenatal care. The examination for toxoplasmosis was requested as recommended by the Health Ministry (HM) and the medication prescribed was Roxamicina® - spiramycin, as soon as the test results (IgM+) arrived. Of the 17 pregnant women, only 10 completed the pre-natal at BHU - attendance at the postpartum consult (58.8%). Of these, the deliveries were vaginal (55.55%), made preterm with 36.5 weeks of gestation at the Municipal Hospital. The babies were born alive (100%) with the weight of 2.68(±0.77) Kg and required special care hospital scope. From the ...

Short-term prophylaxis with ciprofloxacin in extended 16-core prostate biopsy

Objective: To evaluate the safety, efficacy and possible complications of 16-core transrectal prostate biopsies using two doses of ciprofloxacin for prophylaxis of infectious complications.Materials and Methods: Sixteen-core prostate biopsies were performed on a number of patients with different signs of potential prostate cancer. Complications were assessed both during the procedure and one week later. After the procedure, urine samples were collected for culture. The rate of post-biopsy complications, hospital visits and hospitalizations were also analyzed. Ciprofloxacin (500 mg) was administered two hours before, and eight hours after the procedure.Results: The overall rate of post-biopsy complications was 87.32%, being 5.4% of those considered major complications due to hemorrhage, or to urinary retention. Eight patients required hospital treatment post-biopsy. Fever occurred in just one patient (0.29%). There was no incidence of orchitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, septicemia, hospitalization, or death. The urine culture showed positive results in five patients (2.15%).Conclusion: One-day prophylaxis with ciprofloxacin proved to be safe and effective in the prevention of infectious complications following 16-core prostate biopsies.
