To this end, from Pubmed electronic crawler Medline, 54 articles published between 1990 and 2009, over 4 items classics, all in English were selected. The Studies have shown success rates for this technique Conventional techniques like two-stage surgery, many different techniques and planning are present among these techniques, and implants more immediate subject to failures.

Ceratoconjuntivite por Encephalitozoon hellem em periquitos agapornis (Agapornis spp.) no Brasil: relato de caso

Relata-se um caso de ceratoconjuntivite causada por Encephalitozoon hellem em agapornis (Agapornis spp.) adultos, provenientes de um criatório comercial. Cinco animais apresentaram sinais clínicos de ceratoconjuntivite, blefaroespasmo e blefaroedema bilateral, com presença de secreção seropurulenta. Amostras fecais foram colhidas e foi realizado exame coproparasitológico, com resultado negativo. Dois animais foram necropsiados, sendo detectados, em impressões de raspado de conjuntiva ocular, esporos e outros estádios evolutivos de Microsporidium. A confirmação do diagnóstico foi feita pela reação em cadeia de polimerase e sequenciamento de fragmentos amplificados, com utilização de primers específicos para o gene da subunidade 18S do rRNA de E. hellem. A análise dos fragmentos amplificados demonstrou 100% de similaridade com outras sequências de E. hellem publicadas no GenBank. Este é primeiro relato de infecção por E. hellem em aves no Brasil.

Sobre o caráter histórico dos efeitos de realidade no jornalismo

Since journalistic report is subject to certain pre-coded forms of narration, so that the recognized journalistic discourse is subject to a specific and standardized way of narrating the events, in this article, we will discuss the historical status of reality effects engendered narratively by news stories. Over time, although the use of reality effects is constant in news, the narrative techniques that harbor these effects have changed. In different historical periods, different narration codes had assumed the role of making the journalistic stories more credible. As material of analysis, we will show certain narrative techniques linked to reality effects used by magazines such as Revista da Semana (1900-1958), O Cruzeiro (1928-1975) and Manchete (1952-2000). Each one of these used certain storytelling techniques that have been abandoned in subsequent periods and that show the historical status of reality effects linguistically constructed in journalism.

PEDAL: projeto de educação ambiental e lazer: um relato de experiências em cicloturismo

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo central presentar un relato de experiencia sobre cicloturismo realizado por los integrantes del Proyecto de Educación Ambiental y Recreación (PEDAL) comprendido en el periodo 2008-2015, destacando las potencialidades educativas que el uso de la bicicleta puede posibilitar. Para esto, hemos hecho la recuperación del proceso vivido y la interpretación y síntesis de las informaciones sobre los viajes. Consideramos que, a partir de las intervenciones de PEDAL en el ámbito escolar y no-escolar, han sido propuestos algunos debates con el objetivo de desarrollar procesos educativos relacionados a la concientización de niños y niñas, jóvenes y adultos en los cuales la bicicleta se presenta como una rica posibilidad para el respetuoso convivir de unos con los otros, con el ambiente, y consigo mismo, fomentando beneficios el ejercicio vinculado a la promoción de salud, y además estimulando la crítica acerca de movilidad urbana, la recreación y la educación ambiental.

Redução do MELD em paciente em lista de transplante hepático após o uso de aminoácidos de cadeia ramificada: relato de caso

Liver cirrhosis (LC) is a disease with high mortality rates and its only definitive treatment is the orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Unfortunately, not all patients have access to OLT and many of them end up dying on the transplant waiting list. The use of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) is widely known as an effective treatment for improving the quality of life of these patients. For the first time, in this paper we documented a great improvement of clinical and laboratorial tests of a patient treated with BCAA, which allowed him to be out of the transplant waiting list. In addition to the increase of the MELD score, the patient achieved restabilization of body weight and recovery of the quality of life registered by the SF-36 questionnaire.

Diagnóstico diferencial entre Doença de Crohn e Hidradenite Supurativa: relato de caso

Crohn’s disease is a chronic infl ammatory bowel disease with segmental transmural infl ammation, which complicate with formation of fi stulas and abscesses. The hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is characterized by recurrent abscesses, with a predilection for areas rich in apocrine glands such as the axillary, inguinal and perineal. The differential diagnosis between these diseases is diffi cult and may compromise treatment. Report case: C.R.M.A., 40 year-old, female, white, ileal and colonic Crohn’s disease complicated with perianal and rectovaginal fi stula for 12 years, treated with biological therapy since May 2010. In Sep/2010 presented with an abscess in the buttock D with purulent discharge refractory to the use of ciprofl oxacin and metronidazole. USG: collection of 30 cm3 in buttock D. The diagnosis was HS and the patient underwent extensive surgical removal of the affected areas (10 x 2 cm) with healing by secondary intention. Skin graft performed unsuccessfully in Dec/2010. The patient returned in jan/2011 with a new fi stula at the site of resection, consistent with Crohn’s disease. In fev/2011 underwent drainage of abscesses and placement of setons in perianal fi stulas. Currently in therapy with good biological evolution of fi stulas. The prevalence of HS varies from 0.3 to 4% of the population in general. The axilla is the region most affected and perianal lesions are associated with greater weakness. There are published reports of association between HS and Crohn’s disease sporadically and further studies are needed to assess a common pathogenesis. The differential diagnosis should be performed in all cases planning immediate treatment, avoiding complications and worsening of the patient’s quality of life.

Ataque de jacaré a pescador no Pantanal de Mato Grosso (Brasil): relato de caso

Contexto: O manuscrito descreve o ataque não provocado de um jacaré-do-Pantanal a um pescador. Ataques por jacarés são pouco relatados e a espécie do Pantanal raramente causa acidentes. Descrição do caso: A vítima foi mordida na mão direita quando limpava peixes nas margens do rio Paraguai, por um jacaré de cerca de 1,5 m que saiu debaixo da vegetação aquática. O paciente apresentou dor, secreção purulenta e febre e procurou auxílio médico, apresentando ferimentos perfurocontusos e perfurocortantes e fratura-arrancamento no segundo metacarpiano direito. Após cinco dias de internação, houve significativa regressão do processo inflamatório, quando obteve alta hospitalar para posterior acompanhamento ambulatorial. Discussão: Os acidentes por jacarés podem ser muito graves, devido à dentição e à potência das mandíbulas desses répteis. Embora algumas espécies amazônicas possam predar seres humanos, o jacaré-do-Pantanal não causa mortes, mas mesmo espécimes de pequeno tamanho podem causar lesões graves e infecção secundária importante, como observado no caso. Conclusões: Devido ao potencial traumático e capacidade de inoculação de micro-organismos, as mordidas de jacarés devem ser encaradas como ferimentos de alto risco pelas equipes de saúde.
