Condutas terapêuticas para caninos inclusos

Normally, the last teeth to erupt are the ones which remain impacted or semi-impacted, and that is the case of the canines. This study aimed to report a few options of treatment, aiming at esthetic and functional maintenance of the affected area before a impacted canine, discussing its indications, contraindications, advantages and disadvantages. This study also aims to emphasize the accessibility the patient would have in case his/her option were one of the approached ways of treatment. In order to identify the studies included or analyzed in this review, a detailed search strategy was performed for the database used: Pubmed, Bireme, Scielo, Cochrane, and Dentistry Oral Science up to 2011. We used non-erupted teeth, canine, and therapeutics as descriptors. The criteria of inclusion were clinical and review articles that approached the theme. Through this review, it was found that the surgeon dentist’s lack of technical and scientific knowledge and the financial impossibility of most population are some hindrances for the establishment of the right planning for the impacted canine.

Onicodistrofia lupoide simétrica canina: relato de caso

Symmetric lupoid onychodystrophy, or lupoid onychitis, is a multifactor immune-mediated onychopathy. The aim of the present study is to report the occurrence of lupoid onychitis in a two year-old mongrel dog helped at the Small Animal Dermatology Service of Sao Paulo State University Veterinary Hospital, in Botucatu, São Paulo. The animal presented lameness, onycholysis in five digits, paronychia, onychomadesis, nail softening and leuchonychia, as well as melicerous crusts in interdigital spaces and nailbeds. No non-dermatological systemic symptoms were observed. Complementary exams were negative for parasites or fungi. After 15 days of treatment there was partial recovery followed by recurrence. Onychectomy was performed in two digits for histopathological examination and fungal culture, which was negative. Histopathology was consistent with lupoid onychitis, reinforcing the importance of this complementary exam.

Quimiodectoma de corpo aórtico em cão

Chemodectomas are neoplasms originated from chemoreceptors mainly present on the aortic and carotid bodies. The etiology of this kind of tumor is related to genetic factors and chronic hypoxia. Brachycephalic breeds such as Boxer and Boston Terrier are predisposed to develop this neoplasia. This article reports the case of a 10-year-old female Boxer presented to the Veterinary Hospital of the Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science School in Botucatu with a two-day history of fatigue, exercise intolerance and dyspnea. Clinical signs, in association with radiographic and ultrasonographic findings, suggested a heart-base tumor. The worsening of the case led the owner to choose for euthanasia. Necropsy revealed a mass at the heart base adhered to the aortic body, and microscopic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of chemodectoma.

Diagnóstico por imagem nas enfermidades tireoidianas em cães: revisão

The diagnosis of various diseases has become more accessible and accurate with the rapid development of imaging modalities aiming to assist in medical diagnosis, and thereby in veterinary medicine. Different diagnostic imaging modalities such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and scintigraphy can be performed to obtain information about thyroid diseases, each one with advantages and disadvantages, depending on the thyroid disease in question. Diagnostic imaging is a tool that not only assists in the diagnosis, but also helps treatment and assessment of prognosis of thyroid diseases. The aim of this article is to discuss the limitations and benefits of each diagnostic imaging modality available in the veterinary medical field, and also to present the newest diagnostic imaging modalities in order to maximize and make more accurate diagnosis of thyroid diseases.

Caso alóctone de leishmaniose visceral canina, no município de Campo Mourão, Paraná, Brasil

O presente relato tem por objetivo descrever o primeiro caso alóctone de leishmaniose visceral (LV) no município de Campo Mourão, Paraná, Brasil, em um canino, da raça Boxer, apresentando lesões oculares e cutâneas, linfoadenomegalia e esplenomegalia, atendido no Hospital Veterinário da Faculdade Integrado de Campo Mourão, após ter residido na cidade de Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. O diagnóstico da enfermidade baseou-se na observação direta de formas amastigotas de Leishmania spp., em linfonodos poplíteos, sugerindo ser um caso de LV, uma vez que o animal era proveniente de área endêmica para a enfermidade. A migração de cães infectados de regiões endêmicas para áreas indenes torna-se um problema para a saúde pública, uma vez que poderá permitir a instalação de novos focos, favorecendo a disseminação da doença em todo o país.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection in dogs from Western Brazilian Amazon

The objective of the study was to evaluate Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection in urban dogs from the municipality of Monte Negro, Rondonia, Western Brazilian Amazon. The serum samples (n=126) were analyzed by indirect ELISA and the immunodiffusion test using P. brasiliensis gp43 and exoantigen as antigens, respectively. A positivity of 54.8% was observed only in the ELISA test and no statistical difference was observed in the seroprevalence in relation to age or sex. This is the first paracoccidioidomycosis survey carried out with dogs from the Western Brazilian Amazon. The higher positivity rates of P. brasiliensis infection observed in this study suggest that veterinarians must be alert to detect new cases of natural disease in dogs living in paracoccidioidomycosis endemic areas.

Displasia cementária periapical: relato de dois casos

A displasia cementária periapical (DCP) é considerada uma alteração pseudotumoral de etiologia desconhecida. Essa patologia é assintomática e tem crescimento autolimitante. Os dentes afetados apresentam normalmente vitalidade pulpar e integridade da lâmina dura. Objetivo: Apresentar dois casos clínicos que demonstram a importância do conhecimento e correto diagnóstico da DCP. Relatos clínicos: Paciente M.I.S, de 61 Anos, Gênero Feminino, Leucoderma. Apresentou-se ao setor de Endodontia, para avaliação, ao exame radiográfico foi constatada imagem radiopaca nos ápices de incisivos inferiores. Ao teste de sensibilidade ao frio houve resposta negativa, então foi realizado o teste em outras áreas da mandíbula, também com resposta negativa, tornando o teste inconclusivo. Com base nas informações obtidas pelos exames clínico e radiográfico, foi diagnosticada a DCP. Realizado controle clínico e radiográfico, não houve alterações significativas. Paciente H.N.P.N, de 22 Anos, Gênero Feminino, Leucoderma. Apresentou-se ao setor de Endodontia, para avaliação, ao exame radiográfico foi constatada imagem radiopaca na região perirradicular de canino e primeiro pré-molar inferiores do lado esquerdo. Ao teste de sensibilidade ao frio, houve resposta positiva. Com base nas informações obtidas pelos exames clínico e radiográfico, foi diagnosticada a DCP. Realizado controle clínico e radiográfico, não houve alterações significativas. Conclusão: Devido as suas características radiográficas, a DCP pode ser confundida com lesões inflamatórias de origem endodôntica. Intervenções endodônticas desnecessárias podem ocorrer por isso o cirurgião-dentista deve estar atento quanto à vitalidade pulpar e a integridade da lâmina dura dos dentes envolvidos, para o correto diagnóstico.

Visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil: trends and challenges

The urbanization of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil has been related to environmental changes, migration, interaction and spread of sylvatic reservoirs and infected dogs to areas with no transmission, and adaptation of the vector Lutzomyia longipalpis to the peridomiciliary environment. From 1980 to 2005, Brazil recorded 59,129 cases of visceral leishmaniasis, 82.5% of which in the Northeast region. Visceral leishmaniasis gradually spread to other regions of the country: in 1998 these other regions reported 15% of all cases, but by 2005 this proportion had increased to 44%. From 1998 to 2005, indigenous cases were reported in 1,904 different municipalities of the country (34.2%). Reservoir and vector control pose major challenges for disease control, since there is a need for better knowledge of vector behavior in urban areas, and control activities involve high operational costs. In recent years the Brazilian Ministry of Health has supported research on the laboratory diagnosis of infection and disease in humans and dogs, treatment of patients, evaluation of the effectiveness of control strategies, and development of new technologies that could contribute to the surveillance and control of visceral leishmaniasis in the country.
