Avaliação uterina e ovariana de éguas por meio da ultrassonografia Doppler

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

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

Exposição perinatal ao chumbo e desnutrição intra-uterina, isoladamente ou em associação: efeitos cardiovasculares em ratos recém-desmamados

Plumbism is considered the oldest occupational disease. Among the pathophysiological effects associated with lead (Pb) are cardiovascular disorders. Many diseases that develop later in life are determined during the early stages of life, under the influence of exposure and preferred diet of the mother. Still, one should consider that many environmental contaminants at levels not harmful can determine pathophysiological processes if physical or chemical stressors and/or pathological conditions are present. In this context, the intrauterine malnutrition may represent an additional risk factor in exposure to Pb during pregnancy and lactation. For these reasons, the objective of this study was to evaluate the cardiovascular risk of weaned rats that have suffered perinatal exposure to Pb and intrauterine malnutrition, alone or in combination. After mating, female rats were divided into control (ctrl, ad libitum), food restriction (RA, the same diet 50% of consumption in the control group during pregnancy), exposed to Pb (500 ppm Pb in drinking water during pregnancy and lactation) and association (As, received the last two procedures in combination). Cumulative concentration-effect curves (CECs) to CaCl2 and noradrenaline (NA) were obtained in rings with and without endothelium of the same thoracic aorta from male weaned rats (23-25 days old). Maternal weight, litter weight, weight and number of pups at birth, anogenital distance, arterial blood pressure (ABP) and weight of tissues (kidney, liver, aorta, left ventricle) were evaluated. Changes in vascular reactivity were assessed by the maximum response (MR) and 50% effective concentration (EC50). Data were presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed by multifactorial analysis of variance and Tukey's post test. Body weight of dams did not differ between the experimental groups, except on the...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Avaliação da cavidade uterina com histerossonografia, uma revisão

Sonohysterography was firstly described three decades ago. The saline solution infusion into the uterine cavity favors its use and provides excellent visualization of the anatomy and the inner cavity of the uterus better than the conventional transvaginal sonography To check the current role of sonohysterography in the uterine cavity assessment in women with abnormal uterine bleeding and asymptomatic, a literature review comparing sonohysterograph with conventional transvaginal sonography and/or ambulatory diagnostic hysteroscopy was carried out. To this end, relevant studies were researched in electronic databases Medline/PubMed, SciELO/LILACS. The sonohysterography is an ambulatory procedure, non-invasive, better cost-benefit, better sensitivity and specificity to identify uterine abnormalities, causing minimal discomfort and low complications rate. It was subject to revision which there is no more doubt about its accuracy. It can be concluded that the sonohysterography is a useful tool in the propedeutics to assess uterine cavity of symptomatic patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and embryonic implantation failures in assisted reproduction treatment / in vitro fertilization and in any other intra and extra uterine cavity alteration. Hence, conventional transvaginal sonography is indicated as an initial method of assessment of the uterine cavity previously to ambulatory diagnostic hysteroscopy.

Involução criadora: o maior e o menor na obra de Gilles Deleuze

This work is on the political thought of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925 – 1995) taking the concepts of major/minor as starting point, since by them the deleuzian philosophy produces significant approaches to think politics and its forms. Not only the concepts of major/minor, but also the concept of becoming, in the mode of becoming-minor, marks the proposition, as we could tell, a properly deleuzian political philosophy. Thus, this work attempts to expose the possible form of this politics and of a fight ethic associated to it. To study the Deleuze political thought today is not to abdicate of a political thought that recognizes the singularities and embraces the political fight not as a totalizing revolution, but as resistance. The analyses of the concepts of major/minor, and the becoming shows itself as necessary in the political proposal in the present context

Prevención de hemorragia postparto con misoprostol bucal transcesárea en pacientes con riesgo de atonía uterina

Antecedentes: La causa más frecuente de muerte materna es la hemorragia obstétrica por atonía uterina. Aun con manejo activo del tercer periodo del parto con oxitocina, casi la mitad de las pacientes necesitará fármacos adicionales para controlar la hemorragia durante la cesárea. Objetivo: Demostrar que la administración de Misoprostol bucal durante la cesárea disminuye la utilización de fármacos uterotónicos adicionales y previene la hemorragia obstétrica. Material y métodos: Ensayo clínico aleatorizado doble ciego en el que se estudiaron 120 mujeres con factores de riesgo de atonía uterina a quienes se realizó cesárea bajo bloqueo epidural. Fueron asignadas aleatoriamente a dos grupos: el grupo experimental fue tratado con 400 mcg de Misoprostol y el grupo placebo con 800 mcg de ácido fólico. Ambos grupos recibieron el tratamiento vía bucal después del pinzamiento del cordón umbilical además de infusión de oxitocina. Las variables a estudiar fueron el requerimiento de fármacos uterotónicos adicionales y el diagnóstico de hemorragia obstétrica. Resultados: Más mujeres en el grupo placebo requirieron al menos un fármaco uterotónico adicional. (40% y 10%, RR 0.16, IC 95%, 0.06-0.44, p=0.01). La incidencia de hemorragia obstétrica fue mayor el grupo placebo (20% y 5%, RR 0.21, IC 95% 0.05-0.79, p=0.025) al igual que la incidencia de atonía uterina (25% y 8.3%, RR 0.27, IC 95% 0.09-0.80, p=0.026). Conclusión: La aplicación de Misoprostol en el espacio bucal durante la cesárea disminuyó la necesidad de utilizar fármacos uterotónicos adicionales para tratar atonía uterina y la incidencia de hemorragia obstétrica.

Evaluación de la involución, salud uterina y retorno de la actividad ovárica con la adición de zeolita 2% en la dieta basal de vacas lecheras

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el efecto de zeolita (Clinoptilolita) adicionado en la dieta basal de vacas lecheras durante 105 días, 60 días pre-parto (dap) y 45 días post-parto (dpp) y su influencia en la involución (IU) y salud uterina (SU), el retorno de la actividad ovárica (AO) y la condición corporal (CC). El proyecto se realizó en tres ganaderías de la comunidad de Soldados del Cantón Cuenca – Azuay, en 50 vacas secas, con una CC ≥ 3,5, entre 2 a 5 partos, clínicamente sanas y todas en las mismas condiciones sanitarias y de manejo; fueron divididas en un grupo control (n1=25), alimentadas con dieta basal y un experimental (n2=25), con dieta basal + 2% de Zeolita del consumo de materia (CMS). Se evaluó retorno de AO considerando folículos ≥ 10 mm de diámetro a los 15, 22, 35 y 45 dpp por Ultrasonografía transrectal, SU (>10 PMN) a los 35 dpp por cytobrush, IU considerando posición del útero con respecto a la pelvis (PU), simetría de los cuernos (SCU), y diámetro del cérvix (DC), a los 22 y 45 dpp por palpación rectal, y finalmente la CC a los 15 dap, parto y 45 dpp. Se usó un diseño completamente al azar (DCA) y los resultados fueron analizados con el programa estadístico SPSS versión 22.0, posteriormente fueron aplicados los estadísticos de “U de Mann Withney y Kruscall Wallis”. Se obtuvo eficacia en el GE con mayor porcentaje de vacas que retornaron su AO (respectivamente, para GC y GE fueron: 35 dpp 29,6% vs. 70,4%; 45 dpp 44,4% vs. 55,6%; p<0,05). La IU fue a los 45 dpp, los valores obtenido para GC y GE fueron: respectivamente, PU 40,0% vs. 76,0%, SCU 32,0% vs. 76,0% y DC 28,0% vs. 68,0%, (p<0,05). Y en SU también mostró eficacia en el GE obteniendo un 3,4% vs. 22,2% de PMN en comparación con el GC, (p<0,05). Finalmente, se comprobó diferencias significativas (p<0,05) en la CC al parto y 45 dpp con eficacia atribuida al GE. En conclusión, la adición de zeolita al 2% en la dieta basal mostró eficacia en la involución y salud uterina, retorno de la actividad ovárica y la condición corporal en vacas en transición, recomendando su uso en las ganaderías lecheras
