O presente trabalho relata um surto de intoxicação por sal em ovinos no Brasil, em uma propriedade no estado do Pará. De um total de 545 ovinos, oito animais adoeceram (1,46%) e quatro destes morreram (50%). A avaliação das instalações e do manejo indicaram como fatores predisponentes a ingestão excessiva de mistura mineral e a restrição hídrica. Os principais sinais clínicos foram decúbito, diminuição ou ausência da sensibilidade cutânea, ausência dos reflexos de ameaça, palpebral e auricular, midríase, nistagmo, opistótono, espasticidade de membros, sonolência e estupor. Havia ainda, timpanismo, diarreia, taquipneia, taquicardia, desidratação e poliúria. A evolução do quadro clínico nos animais que morreram variou de duas horas e meia a 48 horas. As médias das concentrações séricas de sódio e de potássio de 31 ovinos do mesmo lote afetado pela intoxicação, em amostras colhidas durante o surto, revelaram hipernatremia (190mEq/l) e hipercalemia (8,2mEq/l). À necropsia, observou-se em um animal, achatamento das circunvoluções cerebrais. Microscopicamente, neste animal, evidenciou-se vacuolização moderada do neurópilo, particularmente nas lâminas intermediárias do córtex cerebral, com aumento dos espaços perineural e perivascular. Nessas áreas foram observados ainda, acentuada tumefação e edema dos astrócitos e necrose neuronal aguda. A dosagem de sódio no encéfalo de um ovino, revelou-se elevada com valor de 3.513ppm. O diagnóstico foi realizado com base na epidemiologia, nos sinais clínicos, nas lesões macro e microscópicas e nas dosagens de sódio no soro e no encéfalo dos ovinos.

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic disease of the nervous system, characterized by degeneration of neurons in the mesencephalic substantia nigra, leading to a clinical state of rest tremor, bradykinesia, muscular rigidity and postural instability. Physical therapy seeks to act by slowing the progression of the disease and when done in a group and maintain and / or improving the motor skills of the individual, can provide psychosocial benefi ts. Objective: examine the infl uence of the physical therapy group in balance, functional mobility and quality of life of individuals with PD. Method: participated in this study 04 subjects were female, mean age 67.75 (± 9.5) years, with medical diagnosis of PD, stages 1 to 3 of the Hoehn & Yahr. Before starting treatment, subjects underwent an assessment of the balance (BBS), functional mobility (TUG) and the quality of life (PDQ-39).The treatment was performed in groups, for a period of 10 weeks, lasting 60 minutes each session twice a week, totaling 20 sessions of physiotherapy. Upon completion of the treatment period the subjects were again assessed for balance, functional mobility and quality of life. The data were analyzed using the Student t-test, with signifi cance level of 5% (p ≤ 0.05). Results: statistical analysis showed signifi cant differences in three variables: equilibrium (p = 0.010), functional mobility (p = 0.029) and quality of life (p = 0.004), after physiotherapy intervention. Conclusion: physiotherapy treatment was group provides better balance, functional mobility and quality of life of patients with PD.

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is a chronic disease of the nervous system that leads to a clinical picture of resting tremor, bradykinesia, muscular rigidity and postural instability. These symptoms, in turn, directly influence the functional independence of the individual. Objective: To analyze the influence of muscle strengthening on functional independence of individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Method: A total of ten subjects of both genders participated in this study. We evaluated the functional independence, strength of lower limbs, grip strength testing and 1 repetition maximum. After the evaluation was performed muscle building program for 12 weeks. Results: There was improvement of functional independence (p = 0.007) and lower limb strength (p = 0.01), as well as an increase in grip strength, both of the dominant hand (p = 0.007) and the non-dominant one (p = 0.02). Conclusion: The muscle strength improved the functional independence of individuals with PD.

Introdução: Até o presente momento, não existem observações com o intuito de comparar o andar (em terreno regular e durante a ultrapassagem de obstáculo) de pacientes com doença de Parkinson (DP) caidores e não caidores. O conhecimento mais detalhado das diferenças clínicas e locomotoras entre pacientes caidores e não caidores pode servir como ferramenta importante para o melhor delineamento de intervenções com o intuito de prevenir e/ou reduzir a ocorrência de quedas na DP. Objetivo: Comparar o quadro clínico e o comportamento locomotor durante o andar em terreno regular e a ultrapassagem de obstáculo de indivíduos com DP caidores e não caidores. Método: Participaram do estudo 36 indivíduos com diagnóstico de DP idiopática. Inicialmente, a ocorrência de quedas foi registrada durante quatro meses por meio de entrevista semanal (contato pessoal e telefônico). Estes dados foram utilizados para distribuir os indivíduos em dois grupos: caidores (n=12) e não caidores (n=24). Em seguida, os pacientes realizaram, em estado “on” do medicamento, a avaliação do quadro clínico e do comportamento locomotor. A avaliação clínica incluiu a aplicação da escala de Hoehn & Yahr (estágio da doença) e da subescala motora da Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (comprometimento motor). A avaliação do andar consistiu em caminhar, em velocidade preferida, sobre uma passarela de oito metros de comprimento em condições com e sem obstáculo. Um sistema optoeletrônico para a análise do movimento (OPTOTRAK) foi utilizado para a coleta de dados do andar. As variáveis dependentes incluíram as pontuações nas escalas clínicas e os parâmetros espaciais e temporais do andar em terreno regular e da ultrapassagem de obstáculo. Resultados: Os pacientes caidores apresentaram menores valores do que os pacientes não caidores... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Due to the complexity and instability of clinical conditions of ICU patients, the drug therapy applied in this type of environment requires a combination of several prescribed drugs, which is a favorable condition for drug interaction, toxic synergism and possible iatrogenia. In the possible universe of ICU occurrences, this study aimed at identifying and evaluating the incidence of adverse events in drug therapy at the Intensive Care Therapy Service (SETI) in wards I and II. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive, prospective and quantitative study conducted from August to September, 2011 in the Intensive Care Service of the Botucatu School of Medicine University Hospital - UNESP. The population consisted of fifteen clinical nurses, including those in the Improvement and Volunteer Internship Programs, who contributed to the investigation after signing an informed consent form and according to approval by the Research Ethics Committee number 10711/CE - FMB. The data were entered on a form and analyzed. Results showed that, on average, 8.9% of events/day occurred, and the highest frequency was observed on August 04, 2011. 63% and 22% were respectively observed in the morning and afternoon shifts, and 15% in the night shift. 48% of these were due to administration time errors, followed by drug prescription and dispensation errors, with percentages of 22% and 18%, respectively. Antibiotics showed the highest frequency of adverse events - 18%, which was followed by 13% for anticoagulant, 11% for antiemetic and 10% for antiulcerative drugs. As regards the occurrence of adverse events related to hospitalization time, the highest frequency occurred in patients who were hospitalized for 10 days. Concerning the ratio between reported events and the number of items in the prescription, the highest frequency of events was related to prescriptions with 20 items...

As infecções do trato urinário (ITU) são definidas como a invasão e posterior multiplicação de microorganismos nos tecidos das vias urinárias, sendo a bactéria gram-negativa E.coli o principal uropatógeno envolvido nessa infecção. A avaliação para a presença de ITU é feita através do quadro clínico característico desse tipo de paciente e o exame de cultura de urina. As amostras positivas para as culturas são avaliadas quanto ao perfil de sensibilidade aos antimicrobianos dos agentes etiológicos encontrados. Descrever a porcentagem de ocorrência dos agentes etiológicos e o perfil de sensibilidade aos antimicrobianos das Infecções do Trato Urinário em pacientes ambulatoriais de Botucatu e região. Foram incluídas neste estudo culturas de urinas de pacientes atendidos em UBS de Botucatu e região Pólo Cuesta, no período de Janeiro de 2008 a Maio de 2010. As culturas positivas foram avaliadas quanto a porcentagem de ocorrência dos uropatógenos segundo sexo, faixa etária e origem. Foi utilizado o teste do qui-quadrado para verificar associação entre cada antimicrobiano e as porcentagens de sensibilidade e resistência encontradas. Foram avaliadas 11.768 culturas de urina provenientes de 11 municípios da região, sendo consideradas as culturas positivas (28%). Quanto à ocorrência dos agentes etiológicos verificou-se que a E.coli é responsável 58,76% dos casos. A distribuição dos uropatógenos segundo sexo revelou maior ocorrência de E.coli nos dois sexos. O segundo agente etiológico de maior ocorrência foi, nos homens o Proteus mirabilis e nas mulheres, o S. saprophyticus. Dentre as faixas etárias, a E.coli foi o patógeno de maior ocorrência. O perfil de sensibilidade aos antimicrobianos revelou que a E.coli é mais sensível a Ertapenem, Imipenem, Meropenem, Fosfomicina, Amicacina, Ceftriaxona, Nitrofurantoína e Norfloxacina; e mais resistente...

The intervertebral disc diseases have a high casuistic in clinical routines veterinary among dogs. These conditions can cause pain, paresis or paralysis of limbs depending on the degree of injury. Clinical signs are not limited to the intervertebral disc, other anatomical parts are included. In conventional medicine, treatment may be surgical or clinical, by the use of corticosteroids with muscle relaxants. Acupuncture was an alternative to treating these diseases due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Although there are few studies for the treatment of discopathies, acupuncture triggers the release of substances such as dynorphins, beta-endorphins and serotonin, among others; that act inhibiting somatic and visceral pain. Electroacupuncture is used to potentiate the effects of acupuncture. It can be performed with different frequencies according to the clinical evolution. However there are different opinions related to the greater efficacy in relation to acupuncture. The restraint and monitoring of the treated animal are important factors for its recovery. The association between acupuncture and conventional treatment (surgical or clinical) achieved better results than acupuncture alone. This proves that acupuncture can be considered an option in order to minimize the complications of surgery or assist in patient recovery

A Atenção Farmacêutica (ATENFAR) nasceu oficialmente a partir do Consenso Brasileiro de Atenção Farmacêutica em 2002. Este define a prática de ATENFAR como um elemento da Assistência Farmacêutica. A Anemia Falciforme (AF) é a doença hereditária hematológica de maior prevalência no mundo, e os pacientes requerem Atenção Integral e cuidados especiais para melhor efetividade da farmacoterapia e melhoria de sua qualidade de vida. As complicações da doença são decorrentes da vaso-oclusão e abrangem diversos sistemas do organismo, incluindo baço, coração, encéfalo, pulmões e sangue, tais como as crises álgicas e infecções pneumocócicas. Medidas não-farmacológicas são eficazes na prevenção e tratamento das complicações menos intensas. Nesse contexto, a Educação Sanitária é ferramenta essencial para conscientizar os pacientes a respeito das características da doença e da promoção do uso correto de medicamentos. A complexidade do quadro clínico do paciente portador de AF e as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos mesmos no acesso a informações e tratamentos justificam a necessidade de um método de Atenção Farmacêutica específico para esses indivíduos. A metodologia desenvolvida consiste em um Questionário de Acompanhamento Farmacoterapêutico e abrange todos os aspectos pertinentes à saúde do paciente, à qualidade de vida e à farmacoterapia. Neste estudo piloto foram acompanhados seis pacientes portadores de AF; houve a identificação de 12 RNMs e foram efetuadas 39 intervenções farmacêuticas. As respostas do Questionário de Acompanhamento Farmacoterapêutico foram pontuadas e cada paciente foi classificado quanto à qualidade do seu estado de saúde, farmacoterapia e qualidade de vida. Houve avaliação de indicadores... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

The pets, mostly dogs and cats are susceptible to a variety of situations that can lead to acute kidney failure, such as infection and intoxication, besides other common causes such as dehydration or other pre-existing diseases. The abrupt decrease in renal function in these animals characterizes a severe clinical condition and requires specialized veterinary medical care since it increases the death. Early diagnosis is an important factor for the survival of these animals and so is the appropriate treatment. New technologies on diagnosis and treatment of serious diseases in veterinary medicine have made acute renal failure successfully reversed by hemodialysis in cases where conventional therapy may not be effective. In cases like that, hemodialysis treatment may be the only chance of survival for the animals, which makes this therapy more and more important and necessary, especially in referral centers of veterinary assistance

Staphylococcus is one of the more important causes of the called Foodborne Disease(FD), being that from the 40 species described from genus, the more important is Staphylococcus aureus. During years believed that the S. aureus was the only specie from genus able to produce enterotoxins, responsable for the clinical frame in humans, but latest studies report the isolation of other species both positive coagulase (PC) as negative with enterotoxigenic potential. The symptoms of this intoxication appear after a short period of incubation (2-6 hours) and usually characterized by nausea, vomits, abdominal ache, diarrhea, and rarely is fatal. For the toxin to be formed in food is necessary that bacteria population to be at least 105 UFC/g, being that such toxins characterized by presenting great resistance front of gastrointestinal proteases and of homemade termical treatment. Among the main foods that might carry the microorganism, the milk and its derivatives have highlights. The contamination of the product might happen as from the milk from cows with clinical and/or subclinical mastitis, as the Staphylococcus genus is one of the main agents etiologic from this disease, equipments utensils badly sanitized equipments and utensils and from the manipulators. The control of these factors configures as fundamental condition for the achievement of a safe, quality product, which doesn’t offer risk to the consumers
