OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of colon cancer, primary hyperparathyroidism, thyroid tumor, and skin cancer in all acromegalic patients in follow-up at the Clinics Hospital - Botucatu Medical School, from 2005 to 2011. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: These patients were evaluated retrospectively for colon cancer, primary hyperparathyroidism, dermatological, and thyroid tumors. RESULTS: Of 29 patients included at the beginning of the study, two were excluded. Among 19 patients submitted to colonoscopy, one presented colon adenocarcinoma (5%). Thyroid nodules were present in 63% of patients, and papilliferous carcinoma was confirmed in two patients (7,7%). Four patients were confirmed as having primary hyperparathyroidism (15%). The most common dermatologic lesions were thickened skin (100%), acrochordons (64%), epidermal cysts (50%), and pseudo-acanthosis nigricans (50%). Only one patient presented basal cell carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Although a small number of acromegalic patients was studied, our findings confirm the high frequency of thyroid neoplasias and primary hyperparathyroidism in this group of patients.

A helmintofauna tem papel central no ecossistema, pois afeta a ecologia, evolução, crescimento e regulação da população de hospedeiros e, consequentemente, toda a biodiversidade. Neste estudo foram selecionados anuros pertencentes a uma guilda, de acordo com o modo reprodutivo e sítio de vocalização, e foi estudada a supracomunidade de parasitas associadas a estes anfíbios. Em janeiro de 2009 foram coletados 60 anuros no Pantanal Sul- Matogrossense, sub-região Miranda-Abobral no município de Corumbá, MS. As espécies de anuros coletadas foram Rhinella granulosa, R. schineideri, Pseudis paradoxa, P. limellum, Pleurodema fuscomaculata e Physalaemus albonotatus. Os anuros foram necropsiados e analisados quanto à presença de helmintos. Dezesseis espécies de helmintos foram identificadas em 50 indivíduos hospedeiros (prevalência total = 83,3%). Dentre os parasitas foram encontradas três espécies de trematódeos (Catadiscus marinholutzi, Catadiscus propinquus e Glypthelmins palmipedis), uma espécie de cestoda, Cylindrotaenia americana, dez espécies de nematóides (Aplectana sp., Contracecum sp.,Cosmocerca podicipinus, Cosmocercidae, Falcaustra mascula, Physaloptera sp., Ochoterenella sp., Oswaldocruzia subauricularis, Physalopteroides venancioi sp. e Rhabdias sp.) e cistos de acantocéfalo. Os trematódeos foram encontrados apenas em P. paradoxa e P. albonotatus, enquanto C. americana foi encontrada apenas em P. fuscomaculata. As espécies Aplectana sp. e Falcaustra máscula foi encontrada apenas em R. schineideri. O único indivíduo encontrado em P. limellum foi da espécie Physalopteroides venancoi. As suprapopulações de parasitas se mostraram mais agregadas em R. granulosa e P. paradoxa, onde seus hábitos de vida e hábitos alimentares podem influenciar na comunidade parasitária. Logo o tamanho do hospedeiro pode influenciar na sua ...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

The helminth fauna of twenty-five Hypsiboas raniceps (Anura, Hylidae) specimens collected in the pantanal wetland, municipality of Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil was studied. Twenty (80%) specimens were parasitized with at least one helminth species. The helminth fauda is composed by the nematodes Oswaldocruzia mazzai, Cosmocerca podicipinus and Physalopteroides venancioi beyond the no identified species of the genus Rhabdias, Physaloptera and Raillietnema and the family Cosmocercidae. Cysts and larvae of nematodes were also found. Catadiscus propinquus and diplostomid metacercariae were the recovered trematodes

The Sarcocystis genus includes obligatory two-host life cycle protozoan parasites. It is the most numerous of the six genera of the Sarcocystidae family. The infection caused by parasites of this genus is a zoonotic and cosmopolitan disease known as sarcosistosis or sarcosporidiosis. The sarcositosis though frequently asymptomatic in its definitive hosts can be fatal in its intermediate hosts. The usual diagnoses of sarcosistosis takes place through a histological demonstration of schizonts in blood vessels and organs, and the presence of cysts in muscle tissue by necropsy or biopsy, this second method still more common and based on morphological features of the sarcocyst. However, these methods can be inadequate to a precise identification of the infector species once that, besides the genus being of numerous species, these often present similar morphological features. Another factor that makes the diagnostic more difficult is the non specificity of some Sacocystis species to their hosts. Consequently, molecular diagnostic methods have been used in order to identify the infector species and the parasite specific biological cycles, demonstrating also new species and coevolutive aspects between parasite and host. Among the most employed molecular techniques the Polimerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the nested-PCR and the Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) stands out

Doppler ultrasonography is a new technology that has been study by researchers to improve the physiologic and pathologic knowledge about reproduction. This technology is based on Doppler-shifts frequencies or ultrasonic, these frequencies can be increase or decrease according to the movements of the red cells in the vessel. Color Doppler and power Doppler are the two possibilities to use the Doppler ultrasonography. Color Doppler is based in more the one color that show the direction of the blood f low and power Doppler is based in one color that change according of the flow intensity. Doppler ultrasonography can be demonstrated with the spectral mode to verify blood flow in large vessels, because of this, it is not use in equine reproduction. Studies in equine reproduction have been doing to verify uterus blood flow in cyclic mares and to observe the vascular perfusion in mares with cists, uterine vascular perfusion post breeding and verify the affects of drugs to decrease the uterus fluid in mares with problems in uterus perfusion. The ovarian irrigation during the estrus cycle was analyze with the measurement of the principal hormones during the estrus cycle in mares, the integrity of the corpus luteus, the irrigation of the future dominant follicle and the consequences in the ovarian irrigation after luteolyse induction also were study. Nevertheless, more than the knowledge that existed about Doppler ultrasonography, new studies have been doing to improve the forms to use Doppler ultrasonography in equine reproduction

The Brazilian Atlantic Forest harbors a rich biodiversity with more than four hundred of amphibian species and many of these are endemic in this environment. This high rate of restricted endemism associated with global decline of amphibian diversity and density make it an important priority for the conservation of this ecosystem and to warrant intensive monitoring amphibian populations. Considering the importance that the parasites have on the ecology of their hosts, parasitic infections become a considerable factor in conservation biology. To expand the knowledge of this area, 23 specimens of Haddadus binotatus (Anura: Craugastoridae) and 36 Ischnocnema guentheri (Anura: Brachycephalidae) were collected from Santa Virginia, São Luiz do Paraitinga, São Paulo, between January and February 2010, to study their helminth parasites. Twelve helminth taxa were diagnosed and six of them were common to both hosts. The higher prevalence (P = 96%), mean abundance (MA = 11.7 ± 1.6) and mean intensity of infection (MII = 12.3 ± 1.6) were presented by H. binotatus compared to I. guentheri (P = 67%, MA = 2.4 ± 0.5, MII = 3.6 ± 0.6). Nematode species were found in different stages (cysts, larvae and adults) and acanthocephalans were found in both anurans. However, cestode species was found only in I. guentheri. Differences in parasitism of two species of frogs have been attributed to different sizes and micro-habitats of animals that allow different diets and contact with different helminth species. All helminths found have not been reported H. binotatus and also three new species records were noticed for I. guentheri

Este trabalho teve por objetivo desenvolver hidrogéis do ácido acrílico e correlacionar as propriedades bioadesivas e a liberação in vitro empregando metronidazol. Para tanto, inicialmente foram preparadas dispersões dos polímeros Carbopol 974 ® e Policarbofil ® nas concentrações de 0,5%, 1,0% e 1,5%, que foram submetidas a testes para avaliação das propriedades bioadesivas, mecânicas e reológicas. As amostras com maior concentração de polímeros (Carbopol 974 ® 1,5%, e Policarbofil ® 1,0% e 1,5%,) foram as que apresentaram melhores resultados nos testes de bioadesão, e portanto selecionadas para prosseguimento dos estudos, que envolveu a incorporação de metronidazol (MTZ) na concentração de 0,5% para estudo de liberação in vitro por 12 horas. O experimento foi realizado por meio do sistema automático com célula de difusão vertical de Franz e solução tampão fosfato pH 7,4 como solução receptora. A temperatura utilizada foi 32,5 o C. Os resultados demonstraram que o tipo e a concentração do polímero influenciou diretamente na liberação do fármaco. Os melhores resultados em termos de controle de liberação foram apresentados pelo polímero Policarbofil ® na concentração de 1,5%
