Obtencao de animais negativos para Circovirus suino 2 oriundos de granjas positivas: estrategia de manejo

O objetivo do trabalho é descrever uma estratégia para a obtenção de animais negativos para o PCV2 oriundos de uma granja positiva para este vírus. Dezesseis leitões foram obtidos de fêmeas que tiveram os títulos de IgG anti-PCV2 e o DNA viral testados durante a gestação. Esses leitões, aos sete e dez dias de idade, foram transferidos para a unidade de pesquisa. Durante o período de 7 e 10 aos 49 e 52 dias de idade, amostras de soro, suabes nasal e fecal foram coletadas, a cada sete dias. Após esse período, três animais permaneceram na unidade de pesquisa e foram acompanhados dos 49 aos 114 dias de idade, com coletas realizadas a cada 28 dias. Não houve diferença significativa (p = 0,317) de viremia entre marrãs (n = 6) e porcas (n = 10). Com relação aos níveis de IgG, observou-se diferença significativa (p = 0,0213) entre porcas e marrãs. Os leitões (n = 16), obtidos de duas fêmeas, foram transferidos para a unidade de pesquisa. Os animais entre 7 e 10 dias e aos 49 e 52 dias de idade apresentaram queda de IgG e ausência de IgM anti-PCV2; e as amostras de soro, suabe nasal e fecal foram negativos para o DNA de PCV2. Após os 49 dias, nos três animais mantidos isolados, a detecção de IgG, IgM e DNA para PCV2 permaneceu negativa. Concluindo, a estratégia de manejo utilizada permitiu obter suínos negativos para PCV2 oriundo de granjas positivas para o agente.

Epidemiological features of esophageal cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma versus adenocarcinoma

PURPOSE: To analyze the epidemiological features of patients with esophageal cancer according to the histopathological types: squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma. METHODS: A total of 100 patients with esophageal cancer, being 50 squamous cell carcinomas and 50 adenocarcinomas were analyzed for demographics, nutritional factors, lifestyle habits, benign pathological conditions associated, like Barrett's esophagus and megaesophagus, tumor stage and survival rates. The nutritional factors evaluated included body mass index, percent weight loss, hemoglobin and albumin serum levels. RESULTS: Esophageal cancer occurred more often in men over 50 years-old in both histological groups. No significant differences on age and gender were found between the histological groups. Squamous cell carcinoma was significantly more frequent in blacks than adenocarcinoma. Alcohol consumption and smoking were significantly associated with squamous cell carcinoma. Higher values of body mass index were seen in patients with adenocarcinoma. Barrett's esophagus was found in nine patients (18%) with adenocarcinoma, and megaesophagus in two patients (4%) with squamous cell carcinoma. The majority of patients were on stages III and IV in both histological groups. The mean survival rates were 7.7 ± 9.5 months for patients with squamous cell carcinoma and 8.0 ± 10.9 months for patients with adenocarcinoma. No significant differences on tumor stage and survival rates were detected between the histological groups. CONCLUSION: Epidemiological features are distinct for the histopathological types of esophageal cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma is associated with black race, alcohol and smoking, while adenocarcinoma is related to higher body mass index, white race and Barrett's esophagus.

The modern math movement(s): an essay on how elementary school teachers in Brazil gave meaning to it

The main goal of this paper is to discuss the production of meaning of the Modern Math Movement. The main sources were data available in school archives and interviews with former teachers that we use in order to focus on the diversity of perspectives -that complement it or oppose it-, which comes up when teachers refer to the Movement. Using this process of signification, teachers whether accept it, invalidate it or adapt it to guidelines imposed to them in their teaching activities. We establish a methodology by following the premises of Oral History to gather oral testimonies. The theoretical foundations in which this article is written are the guidelines of Paul Ricoeur's Hermeneutics, John Thompson's Depth Hermeneutics and Bolivar's narrative analysis.

Aspectos da toxoplasmose na clínica de pequenos animais

Toxoplasmosis, a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, has importance in human and veterinary medicine. Animals can be direct or indirect source of infection to man, and this intermediate host, the disease may be responsible for encephalitis and deaths due to congenital form as coinfection in neonates and patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The man and animals can acquire the disease by eating undercooked meat or cures, infected with tissue cysts, as well as food and water contaminated with oocysts. Iatrogenic, such as, blood transfusion and organ transplantation are other less frequent routes of transmission. The causative agent of this disease is Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan obligate intracellular coccidian. In small animals, the infection has been reported in several countries, promoting varied clinical manifestations and uncommon but severe and fatal, which is a challenge in the clinical diagnosis of small animals, especially when the nervous system involvement. Thus, constitute the purpose of this review address the participation of small animals in the spread of the disease, clinical aspects related to it, as well as discuss methods of diagnosis, therapeutic measures, prophylaxis and control of this disease.
