Cría de pequeños animales domésticos en nuestra aula.

Proyecto de acercamiento al medio natural mediante la adecuación de un espacio en el jardín para la cría de pequeños animales domésticos, dado el gran interés que suscita y las enormes posibilidades que ofrece este tipo de experiencias en el desarrollo integral del alumnado. Los objetivos son: conocer las características y modo de vida de los animales (patos y conejos); contemplar los cambios que se producen en su crecimiento; incentivar el interés y curiosidad de los niños por los procesos vitales y fomentar una actitud de cuidado y respeto al permitir que asuman pequeñas responsabilidades. La experiencia se desarrolla como una actividad más de las realizadas al aire libre. Ésta consiste primero en la formación de pequeños grupos que se encargan cada día de la limpieza, alimentación y observación de los animales; y luego en la realización de actividades en el aula como puestas en común en las que se comenta lo observado o experimentado en el jardín, dramatizaciones, dibujos, etc. Se valora la conducta de los niños con los animales y la participación de los mismos en las actividades de aula.

Mejoramiento de costos en los sistemas de producción pecuaria: el caso de la cría de porcinos en el Ecuador

En el Ecuador, la baja productividad del sector agropecuario se enmarca en las insuficiencias en la administración del uso de los recursos, el manejo de los procesos, el uso y manejo de los productos y subproductos, cuya causa principal, parece ser, el desconocimiento del funcionamiento de los sistemas de producción. Con este antecedente, se planteó la hipótesis: que administrando técnicamente el uso de los recursos y el manejo de los procesos, es posible mejorar los costos en los sistemas de producción del subsector pecuario.

CRA/Rio Tinto in the 1990s : a decade of deunionisation

Given the scale of Rio Tinto's battles with the Australialn union movement during the roll out of its deunionisation program throughout its diverse miniing and manufacturing operations, there is much to be learnt from examining how the company first introduced its 'staff' employment system at its Tiwai Point smelter in New Zealand in 1991. Hamersley Iron in 1993, and at its Comalco-run Bell Bay and Weipa operations during 1994-96. More importantly, however, it is worth knowing why the company was so successful in deunionising previously 'soldered on' union territory. Though no doubt assisted by sympathetic legal, political and economic environments, it was ultimately the demonstrationl of managerial strength and determination, coupled with a hesitant union leadership, which led to the success of the company's deunionisation strategy. As the union movemenlt makes tenative steps to attract workers back to the fold, there are valuable lessons to be gained from analysing these momentous events which constitute such a transformational period in the history of Australian industrial relations.

Associação de diferentes doses de gonodotrofina coriônica equina (eCG) no tratamento com progestágenos e estrógenos em vacas de corte .

Dois experimentos foram realizados com o objetivo de verificar o efeito de diferentes doses de eCG, após tratamento com progestágeno e estrógeno, sobre a fertilidade de vacas de corte. No experimento 1 foram utilizadas 133 vacas tipo Braford (½ Nelore x ½ Hereford), multíparas, 150 a 155 dias pós-parto, com idades entre 4 e 6 anos e escore de condição corporal (ECC) médio de 3 (escala de 1-5). Todos os animais foram submetidos a colocação de implante auricular subcutâneo (dia 0) contendo 3 mg de norgestomet (N) e aplicação de solução injetável intramuscular (im) de 3 mg de N e 5 mg de valerato de estradiol (VE). No momento da retirada do implante (dia 10), as vacas foram separadas, aleatoriamente, em 4 grupos distintos: Grupo I (n=33): não recebeu eCG; Grupo II (n=34): 300 UI de eCG; Grupo III: 500 UI de eCG e Grupo IV: 700 UI de eCG. As inseminações artificiais (IAs) foram realizadas em tempo fixo, de 52-54 hs após a retirada do implante, com sêmen de qualidade comprovada através de avaliação prévia. Após 15 dias, as fêmeas permaneceram com touros por 45 dias afim de serem submetidas a monta natural (MN) caso retornassem ao estro. Aos 40 e 100 dias após a IA foi realizado, mediante palpação retal, o diagnóstico de gestação para identificação dos animais que conceberam por IA ou MN respectivamente. As taxas de prenhez da IA foram: Grupo I: 33.3% (11/33); Grupo II: 50,0%(17/34); Grupo III: 39,4% (13/33); Grupo IV: 45,5% (15/33). Para a análise estatística das variáveis foi utilizado o teste Qui-Quadrado. As taxas de prenhez não foram diferentes estatisticamente (p=0,539) em relação a dose de eCG utilizada. As taxas de prenhez totais, após a temporada de MN, foram: Grupo I: 78,8% (26/33); Grupo II: 79,4% (27/34); Grupo III: 90,9% (30/33); Grupo IV: 75,8% (25/33). Também não houve diferença estatística (p=0,411) entre os grupos. No Experimento 2, foram utilizadas 56 vacas ( 27 Nelore x Charolês e 26 Braford), multíparas, não lactantes, cíclicas, com idades variando entre 4 e 7 anos e ECC médio de 3,5. As fêmeas receberam aplicação de implante auricular subcutâneo de 3 mg N e aplicação injetável (im) de 3 mg de N e 5 mg de VE no momento da colocação do implante (dia 0). No momento da retirada do implante (dia 10) os animais foram divididos em 3 grupos com a finalidade de receber aplicação injetável (im) de eCG: Grupo I (n=18): 500 UI eCG; Grupo II (n=19): 1.000 UI eCG e Grupo III (n=19): 1.200 UI eCG. A partir do dia seguinte à retirada do implante e aplicação de eCG, os animais tiveram o estro controlado, duas vezes ao dia em intervalos de 12 hs. As IAs foram realizadas 12 hs após a identificação do estro. Nos animais em que o estro não foi identificado, realizou-se IA em tempo fixo de 52-54 hs após a retirada do implante. O diagnóstico de gestação foi realizado mediante palpação retal aos 45 dias após a IA. Os animais diagnosticados prenhes foram acompanhados durante o período de parição com o propósito de avaliar o número de produtos nascidos, já que foram utilizadas altas doses de eCG que poderiam originar nascimentos múltiplos. Através do Qui-Quadrado, primeiramente analisou-se a presença dos sinais de estro em relação a dose de eCG utilizada a cada grupo. No intervalo de 36 a 48 hs após a retirada do implante, 87,5% do animais apresentaram estro. Não houve diferença significativa (p=0,866) entre os grupos, indicando ausência de relação entre estro e dose de eCG utilizada. As taxas de prenhez obtidas em cada grupo também não resultaram diferentes (p=0,25) em função da dosagem de eCG utilizada. Grupo I: 44,4% (8/18); Grupo II: 36,8% (7/19), Grupo III: 63,2% (12/19). Os índices de prenhez dos animais que não demonstraram sinais de estro e que foram inseminados em tempo fixo, foram analisados mediante Regressão Logística e não diferiram (p=0,666) daqueles que foram inseminados 12 hs após a detecção do estro. Não foram observados partos gemelares e distocia nas vacas dos diferentes grupos experimentais. Nas condições de realização destes experimentos, o uso de eCG, ao final do tratamento com progestágenos e estrógenos, não interferiu nos resultados de prenhez em vacas não-lactantes ou lactantes, inseminadas 12 hs após o estro ou em tempo fixo, não demonstrou efeito sobre o aparecimento de estro em vacas solteiras e, nas doses utilizadas, não originou partos gemelares. A IA de vacas não-lactantes realizada em tempo fixo de 52-54 hs após o tratamento apresentou resultados de prenhez semelhantes aos observados nas IAs realizadas 12 após a identificação do estro.

Avaliação de efetividade do centro de reabilitação de adultos - CRA/NATAL/RN

Public services with an emphasis on rehabilitation treatment of disabled people, as established law, have aimed to ensure quality and equity assistance in a rehabilitation way to the segment highlighted. As for people with physical disabilities, the Unified Health System (hereby SUS) through the directive GM/ MS No. 818 of 2001, requires the creation of hierarchical and regionalized services networks at different levels of complexity to ensure appropriate assistance. This study whose title is Evaluation of effectiveness of the Adult Rehabilitation Center in Rn: elements for a discussion aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation services that institution, reference in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, has directed its patients, more specifically those who have had a stroke and therefore are disabled ones. From the standpoint of methodological conduction, it was prioritized a qualitative and empirical theoretical research which was carried out from the following courses: literature references with authors who are the themes pertaining to rehabilitation, inclusion, public policy evaluation, health policy and disability; documentary research through Regulation of Technical Procedures, files, records, informative booklets that were of great importance to the knowledge of the institution, as well as its functioning and dynamics of field research that was materialized with the managers, rehabilitation staff and Center s users, through the application of semi-structured interviews as a tool for data collection. The information obtained was analyzed from the critical analysis of discourse. As a result, it was identified some technical, administrative and financial difficulties which have obliterated the effectiveness of services provided, such as: lack of many professionals to meet existing demand, poor quality of equipment and the physical structure, limits on autonomy management as a result of dependence along with the SESAP/RN; besides the excessive bureaucratization in the administrative processes compromising Center s problem-solving needs. However, in the narratives of managers, rehabilitation staff of patients, despite the difficulties, treatment made by Centre has effectiveness to the extent that has been contributing even in a limited way to improve their quality of life

Pitiose cutânea equina de localização atípica tratada topicamente com solução de anfotericina B e DMSO

Background: Cutaneous lesions by Pythium insidiosum infection are commonly observed in horses, especially in those living at flooded environments. Equine pythiosis is characterized by the development of tumoral masses that are frequently located at distal limbs, ventral abdomen, thorax, breast and face. The lesions are usually granulomatous, serosanguineous and ulcerated, most often destroyed by self-mutilation due to the intense pruritus. The proposed treatment includes surgical excision followed by antifungal drugs administration, which can be done systemically or topically. Amphotericin B and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in association has been successfully used for cutaneous pythiosis topical treatment due to the DMSO property to carry any substance through plasmatic membranes.Case: The present report concerns a 12-year-old mixed breed gelding presenting with self-mutilation of a tumoral mass located at the left flank. The owners reported that the horse had initially presented a small wound that had evolved to a 20-cm in diameter mass in 4 weeks. Tissue samples were collected, processed and stained by the Gomori's methenamine silver (GMS) method. The histopathological analysis revealed Pythium insidiosum hyphae in a granulomatous tissue, especially located at peripheral region, where kunkers were present. Surgical excision of the mass followed by cauterization was indicated as initial treatment, and due to financial reasons, the owners elected only the topical antifungal therapy to control the fungus infection after surgery. Flunixin meglumine was also administrated for five days aiming the control of pain and inflammation. The wound was cleaned with povidone-iodine solution and rinsed with a solution containing, 50 mg, of amphotericin B in 10 mL of sterile water and 10 mL of DMSO. This procedure was carried Out twice a day. The wound healed fast due to an excellent centripetal epithelialization. and the horse was discharged after 64 days showing only 5% of the initial wound area. The owner reported by telephone the complete healing and hair growth 10 days after discharge.Discussion: Despite the atypical location of the tumoral lesion described at the present report, the history and clinical manifestations, especially the intense pruritus, showed similarity with other characteristic reports of equine cutaneous pythiosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by the histopathological examination showing hyphae structures, as described to be evidences of the presence of Pythium insidiosum in the tissue. The surgical procedure was the first step to provide remission of clinical signs, and one day after surgery the pruritus desapeared. After excision of the granulomatous tissue and cauterization, daily topical administration of amphotericin B associated with DMSO was effective in destroying the infectious agent, as observed by the excellent epithelization. A pink granulation tissue grew up providing an ideal surface for epithelial migration and the healing process progressed quickly. Centripetal epithelialization reduced the wound area until 3% of the initial area in 64 days of treatment, when the remaining wound was found almost completely healed and covered with hair. At the present report, the horse presenting pythiosis was only topically treated. The recommended therapy using amphotericin B and DMSO solution was effective, economically viable and low risk, considering that the systemic antifungal therapy usually suggested is expensive and extremely nephrotoxic. The atypical location of the lesion on the left flank shows that any anatomical region can be affected by the fungus, since the conditions for its development were present.

Soroprevalência da arterite viral equina em mesorregiões paulistas entre 2007 e 2008

This study investigated the occurrence of equine arteritis virus antibodies using neutralization test in 1,400 horses from Campinas and macro metropolitan paulista mesoregions located at São Paulo State, between 2007 and 2008. Eighty (5.7%) samples showed antibodies to virus (titers from 4 to 4,096). Among the 42 cities, 15 (35.7%) presented at least one seropositive animal to equine arteritis virus. of the 238 farms analyzed 41 showed at least one seropositive animal. The occurrence was higher in sport horses like jumping horses, Quarter horses and was similar for female and male. The rate of seropositive was higher in animals older than 24 months of age. These results suggest the virus circulation among horse population in studied farms, and the need for continuing epidemiological surveillance studies.

Cauda equina syndrome after spinal tetracaine: Electromyographic evaluation-20 years follow-up

CAUDA equina syndrome (CES) has long been recognized as a rare complication of spinal anesthesia.(1) CES has been described after administration of spinal anesthetics with lidocaine(2) and bupivacaine.(3) In 1991,(4) CES was reported after continuous spinal anesthesia with 1% tetracaine. In 1980, at our university hospital, six adult female patients underwent perineal gynecologic surgery using a spinal anesthetic of 2 ml tetracaine, 1.2%, in 10% glucose. The concentration of the injected tetracaine was unknown by the anesthetists. In all cases, lumbar puncture was performed at the L3-L4 interspace with a disposable spinal needle while the patients were in the sitting position. CES was first diagnosed 72 h or later postoperatively; previous diagnosis was not possible because patients had an indwelling urethral catheter. The diagnosis of CES was confirmed in all patients. During the past year, after institutional approval and informed consent, clinical, magnetic resonance imaging, electromyographic examinations, and conduction studies were performed in three of the above patients. Examinations were not possible on the other three patients because one had recently died, another could not be located, and the third refused to participate. T1 and T2 magnetic resonance image readings were obtained with Gadolinium contrast from a 0.5 Tesla General Electric apparatus (General Electric, Tokyo, Japan). Bilateral sensory and motor conduction studies of the sciatic nerve branches were obtained using a two-channel Nihon-Kohden Neuropack 2 (Nihom-Kohden Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Electromyography was performed in accordance with conventional techniques.(5,6)
