O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a toxicidade de Cestrum laevigatum para bubalinos e caracterizar o quadro clínico-patológico da intoxicação. Foram utilizados 4 bubalinos da raça Murrah, divididos em dois grupo. O Grupo 1 (búfalos 1 e 2) recebeu 20g/Kg de folhas dessecadas de Cestrum laevigatum, via oral; enquanto que o Grupo 2 (búfalos 3 e 4) recebeu 40g/Kg de peso vivo. O búfalo 1 (grupo 1), apresentou sinais clínicos discretos, caracterizados por diminuição dos movimentos ruminais e recuperou-se 60 horas após o início dos sinais clínicos. O búfalo 2 (grupo 1) não apresentou sinais clínicos. Os búfalos 3 e 4 (Grupo 2) apresentaram os primeiros sinais clínicos 26h 05min. e 37 h 22 min. após o fim da administração da planta, respectivamente. Os sinais clínicos da intoxicação foram apatia, anorexia, diminuição ou ausência dos movimentos ruminais, sialorreia, dificuldade respiratória, andar cambaleante, dismetria, excitação, agressividade, constipação, com fezes ressecadas contendo muco e sangue, gemidos, focinho seco, sonolência, decúbito lateral, movimentos de pedalagem e morte em 44h11min. (búfalo 3) e 60h 39min (búfalo 4) após a administração da planta. Na necropsia o búfalo 3 revelou superfície capsular e de corte do fígado de coloração marrom/laranja, leve edema da parede da vesícula biliar; endocardio do ventrículo esquerdo com equimoses extensas e endocardio do ventrículo direito com algumas petéquias; mucosas do abomaso levemente avermelhada; conteúdo do abomaso levemente ressequido; intestino grosso com pouco conteúdo levemente ressequido e envolto por muco. No búfalo 4 foi observado superfície capsular e de corte do fígado de coloração alaranjado, com nítido aspecto de noz moscada ; leve edema da parede da vesícula biliar; discreta esplenomegalia; mucosas do abomaso levemente avermelhada; intestino delgado com conteúdo catarral-mucoso; e meninges levemente congestas. Histologicamente, no fígado dos dois animais, observou-se acentuada necrose de coagulação dos hepatócitos nas zonas centro-lobulares e intermediária e vacuolização dos hepatócitos próximos às zonas de necrose.

Background: The effects of modern therapy on functional recovery after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are unknown.Objectives: To evaluate the predictors of systolic functional recovery after anterior AMI in patients undergoing modern therapy (reperfusion, aggressive platelet antiaggregant therapy, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers).Methods: A total of 94 consecutive patients with AMI with ST-segment elevation were enrolled. Echocardiograms were performed during the in-hospital phase and after 6 months. Systolic dysfunction was defined as ejection fraction value < 50%.Results: In the initial echocardiogram, 64% of patients had systolic dysfunction. Patients with ventricular dysfunction had greater infarct size, assessed by the measurement of total and isoenzyme MB creatine kinase enzymes, than patients without dysfunction. Additionally, 24.5% of patients that initially had systolic dysfunction showed recovery within 6 months after AMI. Patients who recovered ventricular function had smaller infarct sizes, but larger values of ejection fraction and E-wave deceleration time than patients without recovery. At the multivariate analysis, it can be observed that infarct size was the only independent predictor of functional recovery after 6 months of AMI when adjusted for age, gender, ejection fraction and E-wave deceleration time.Conclusion: In spite of aggressive treatment, systolic ventricular dysfunction remains a frequent event after the anterior myocardial infarction. Additionally, 25% of patients show functional recovery. Finally, infarct size was the only significant predictor of functional recovery after six months of acute myocardial infarction.

Background: Dioctophyma renale is a large nematode distributed worldwide that may cause progressive and severe destruction of renal parenchyma.Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate pre- and post-operatively dogs submitted to right nephrectomy due to D. renale and to assess the histopathological damage of the removed kidney.Animals and methods: Eight crossbred dogs, aged from 12 to 48 months that were unilaterally nephrectomized due to the presence of D. renale were evaluated. Physical examination, urinalysis, complete blood count, serum biochemistry, and abdominal ultrasound were performed immediately before and one month after nephrectomy. The nephrectomized right kidneys were submitted to macroscopic and microscopic evaluations.Results: Urinalysis preoperatively detected occult blood in all dogs and D. renale eggs in five cases. Complete blood count showed all parameters within the reference range, except one dog post-operatively. Serum biochemistry performed before and after surgery verified that urea, creatinine and sodium were within the reference range values in all dogs. Other findings varied among the dogs. The length and arterial resistive index mean values of the left kidney were similar pre- and post-operatively.Conclusions: Thus, the inconsiderable change in laboratory findings pre- and post-operatively was attributable to compensation by left kidney function for the removed abnormal right kidney. Right kidney histology revealed chronic nephropathy due to D. renale.Clinical importance: Imaging diagnosis should be performed on dogs suspected as carrying the disease or on those from an enzootic area since the laboratory findings are not specific except eggs in the urine.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heart disease in the feline specie, more frequently affecting pure-breed males such as Ragdolls and Maine Coons. HCM can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary, when other diseases such as hyperthyroidism are involved. The disease is characterized by an increase in the diameter and thickness of the left ventricular wall, with consequent diastolic dysfunction. Mitral regurgitation happens due to compromised ventricular filling, leading to an increased left atrium size and consequent cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Along with the progress of modern veterinary medicine, many diseases could be addressed more successfully on small animal internal medicine, such as feline HCM. This article brings a literature review of the feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, focusing on its etiology, physiopathology, clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, therapeutics and prognosis
