Medicamentos anti-hipertensivos na gestação e puerpério

Pregnancy toxemia is a multisystemic disease, which occurs mainly at the end of pregnancy, characterized by clinical manifestations such as hypertension, edema and proteinuria. It is the most commonly occurred medical complication in pregnancies and the main cause for perinatal and maternal morbimortalities. The purpose of this article is to review the main aspects concerning the use of antihypertensive agents during pregnancy and puerperium. The data has been collected from Pubmed and Bireme, from 2006 to 2010 using the words “anti-hipertensivo e gravidez” and “antihypertensive and pregnancy”. The knowledge regarding hypertension during pregnancy and its therapy is evolving; the search for medication that could protect the mother from acute dangers and to ensure a healthy newborn must be the focus. Evidence is still lacking regarding the best therapy, beginning period, duration and results. In spite of the pharmacological advances, there are still no drugs completely exempt of compromises to the mother and the conceptus.

Toxemia da prenhez relacionada à gestação múltipla patológica em ovelha

The pregnancy toxaemia affects pregnant females in the final third of pregnancy and, in most cases, with multiple fetuses characterizing its relationship with pathology of multiple pregnancy, because, in this situation, the energy demand of the female is very large. The pregnancy toxaemia develops from a negative energy balance and the consequent mobilization of lipids. Fatty acids produced are directed to the liver to be oxidized via acid cycle to produce energy and causing the ketosis. This paper describes the case of a sheep treated at the Veterinary Hospital of Paranaense University - UNIPAR, Campus II - Umuarama/PR with multiple pregnancy of four lambs and consequent pregnancy toxaemia.

Myonecrosis by Clostridium septicum in a dog, diagnosed by a new multiplex-PCR

Clostridial myositis is an acute, generally fatal toxemia that is considered to be rare in pet animals. The present report describes an unusual canine clostridial myositis that was diagnosed by a new multiplex-PCR (mPCR) designed for simultaneous identification of Clostridium sordellii, Clostridium septicum, Clostridium perfringens type A, Clostridium chauvoei, and Clostridium novyi type A. A ten-month-old male Rottweiler dog, that had displayed lameness and swelling of the left limb for 12 h, was admitted to a veterinary hospital. The animal was weak, dyspneic and hyperthermic, and a clinical examination indicated the presence of gas and edema in the limb. Despite emergency treatment, the animal died in only a few minutes. Samples of muscular tissue from the necrotic area were aseptically collected and plated onto defibrinated sheep blood agar (5%) in anaerobic conditions. Colonies suggestive of Clostridium spp. were submitted to testing by multiplex-PCR. Impression smears of the tissues, visualized with Gram and also with panoptic stains, revealed long rod-shaped organisms, and specimens also tested positive using the fluorescent antibody technique (FAT). The FAT and mPCR tests enabled a diagnosis of C. septicum myonecrosis in the dog. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Fator necrosante citotóxico em Escherichia coli isolada de mastite clínica bovina

This report describes the production of cytotoxic necrotizing factor (CNF) by an Escherichia coli strain isolated from clinical bovine mastitis with clinical signs of toxemia The animal had hemorrhages and necrosis of the mammary glands, and died within 24 hours after the onset of clinical signs. In addition to CNF identification, alpha-haemolysin and siderophores production were also characterized in this strain. This report reinforce the association of CNF and alpha-haemolysin production in E. coli virulence associated with clinical cases of severe bovine mastitis.
