Síndrome metabólica e fatores associados: estudo comparativo com mulheres que apresentaram pré-eclâmpsia e gravidez normal, acompanhadas cinco anos após o parto

Preeclampsia is defined as an extremely serious complication of the pregnancy-puerperium cycle with delayed emergence of cardiovascular risk factors, including metabolic syndrome. The research aimed estimate the prevalences of metabolic syndrome and associated factors in women with preeclampsia and normal pregnancy followed five years after childbirth. This is a cross-sectional observational study using a quantitative approach, conducted at a maternity school in the city of Natal in Rio Grande do Norte state. The sample was composed of 70 women with previous preeclampsia and 75 normal selected by simple random probability sampling. Subjects were analyzed for sociodemographic, obstetric, clinical, anthropometric and biochemical parameters. International Diabetes Federation criteria were adopted to diagnose metabol ic syndrome. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney, Student s t, Pearson s chi-squared, and Fisher s exact tests, in addition to simple logistic regression, were used for data analysis, at a 5% significance level (p ≤ 0.05). Statistical tests demonstrated elevated body mass index (p = 0.001), predominance of family history of diabetes mellitus (p = 0.022) and significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the preeclampsia group (37.1%) when compared to normal (22.7%) (p = 0.042). Intergroup comparison showed a high number of metabolic syndrome components in women with previous preeclampsia. Altered systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.001) was the most prevalent, followed by low concentrations of high-density lipoproteins (p = 0.049), and hyperglycemia (p=0.030). There was a predominance of the metabolic syndrome in women with schooling 0-9 years (42.4%) (p = 0.005), body mass index above 30Kg.m 2 (52.3%) (p < 0.001), uric acid high (62.5%) (p = 0.050 and family history of hypertension (38.5%) (p< 0.001). Multivariate analysis of the data showed that the body mass index above 30 kg.m2, education level less than 10 years of study (p < 0.001) and family history of hypertension (p = 0.002) remained associated with the metabolic syndrome after multivariate analysis of the data. It is considered Women with previous preeclampsia exhibited high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and their individual components in relation to normal, especially, altered systolic and diastolic blood pressure, low concentrations of high-density lipoproteins and hyperglycemia. The factors associated to this ou tcome were obesity, less than 10 years of schooling, and family history of hypertension. Overall, this study identified young women with a history of PE exposed to a higher cardiovascular risk than normal

Medicamentos anti-hipertensivos na gestação e puerpério

Pregnancy toxemia is a multisystemic disease, which occurs mainly at the end of pregnancy, characterized by clinical manifestations such as hypertension, edema and proteinuria. It is the most commonly occurred medical complication in pregnancies and the main cause for perinatal and maternal morbimortalities. The purpose of this article is to review the main aspects concerning the use of antihypertensive agents during pregnancy and puerperium. The data has been collected from Pubmed and Bireme, from 2006 to 2010 using the words “anti-hipertensivo e gravidez” and “antihypertensive and pregnancy”. The knowledge regarding hypertension during pregnancy and its therapy is evolving; the search for medication that could protect the mother from acute dangers and to ensure a healthy newborn must be the focus. Evidence is still lacking regarding the best therapy, beginning period, duration and results. In spite of the pharmacological advances, there are still no drugs completely exempt of compromises to the mother and the conceptus.

Toxemia da prenhez relacionada à gestação múltipla patológica em ovelha

The pregnancy toxaemia affects pregnant females in the final third of pregnancy and, in most cases, with multiple fetuses characterizing its relationship with pathology of multiple pregnancy, because, in this situation, the energy demand of the female is very large. The pregnancy toxaemia develops from a negative energy balance and the consequent mobilization of lipids. Fatty acids produced are directed to the liver to be oxidized via acid cycle to produce energy and causing the ketosis. This paper describes the case of a sheep treated at the Veterinary Hospital of Paranaense University - UNIPAR, Campus II - Umuarama/PR with multiple pregnancy of four lambs and consequent pregnancy toxaemia.

Étude prospective des causes de mortalité chez l'espèce caprine avec emphase sur la lymphadénite caséeuse

En Amérique du Nord, et particulièrement au Canada, il y a très peu de données sur l’incidence des causes de mortalité chez l’espèce caprine. Le premier objectif de cette étude était de déterminer les principales causes de mortalité chez les chèvres au Québec. Depuis 2006, avec l’arrêt de la vaccination contre la lymphadénite caséeuse, les éleveurs de caprins laitiers et de boucherie du Québec ont rapporté une recrudescence des abcès chez leur bétail. Le second but de cette étude était de déterminer l’importance de la lymphadénite caséeuse dans le dépérissement et la mortalité des chèvres du Québec. Cent-cinquante-deux chèvres provenant de 13 élevages différents ont été soumises pour nécropsie et la cause de mortalité, de même que la présence d’abcès (s’il y a lieu), leur localisation et leur cause furent compilés. Les mortalités proportionnelles étaient, par ordre décroissant : l’entérotoxémie de type D (n= 26; 17,1%), la pneumonie (n= 21; 13,8%), la paratuberculose (n= 16; 10,5%), listériose encéphalitique (n= 10; 6,6%), la toxémie de gestation (n= 8; 5,3%), l’arthrite-encéphalite caprine (n= 7; 4,6%) et la lymphadénite caséeuse (n= 6; 3,9%). La lymphadénite caséeuse a été diagnostiquée chez 24,3% des chèvres soumises, mais sans être une cause majeure de dépérissement ou de mortalité. Les abcès étaient internes dans 54,1% des cas. Au total, la paratuberculose a été diagnostiquée chez 29 chèvres (16 en étant décédées) et fut considérée comme une cause majeure de dépérissement, d’émaciation et de mortalité. Le développement et l’implantation de mesures préventives contre cette maladie seraient donc à envisager dans le futur.

Impact des niveaux de B-hydroxybutyrate sur la productivité des chèvres laitières

L’augmentation du β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) est un changement biochimique que l’on retrouve lors de toxémie de gestation, une maladie d’importance chez la chèvre laitière. L’hypercétonémie n’ayant pas été définie chez la chèvre laitière, les objectifs de cette étude étaient de définir l’hypercétonémie pré-partum en utilisant les valeurs de BHB sanguin obtenues à la ferme à l’aide d’un appareil portatif (Precision Xtra®) permettant de prédire de façon optimale le risque de développer la maladie ou le risque de mortalité lors du dernier mois de gestation. L’appareil a préalablement été validé pour son utilisation chez la chèvre (n = 114) à la ferme (n = 3) et a démontré une excellente corrélation (r² = 0,95) avec l’analyse standard en laboratoire. Un total de 1081 chèvres gestantes provenant de 10 élevages commerciaux du Québec (Canada) ont été prélevées hebdomadairement durant les 5 dernières semaines de gestation. Nos résultats ont montré qu’il est possible de définir l’hypercétonémie pré-partum en mesurant le risque de développer la toxémie de gestation et le risque de mortalité lors du dernier mois de gestation en utilisant les valeurs de cétonémie à la ferme. Les seuils établis varient entre 0,4 et 0,9 mmol/L lors des 5 dernières semaines de gestation pour la toxémie de gestation et entre 0,6 et 1,4 mmol/L pour le risque de mortalité. La 4e semaine pré-partum est la semaine permettant le mieux d’évaluer le risque de toxémie de gestation et de mortalité associé à l’hypercétonémie. Ces valeurs permettront un diagnostic précoce de la maladie.

Myonecrosis by Clostridium septicum in a dog, diagnosed by a new multiplex-PCR

Clostridial myositis is an acute, generally fatal toxemia that is considered to be rare in pet animals. The present report describes an unusual canine clostridial myositis that was diagnosed by a new multiplex-PCR (mPCR) designed for simultaneous identification of Clostridium sordellii, Clostridium septicum, Clostridium perfringens type A, Clostridium chauvoei, and Clostridium novyi type A. A ten-month-old male Rottweiler dog, that had displayed lameness and swelling of the left limb for 12 h, was admitted to a veterinary hospital. The animal was weak, dyspneic and hyperthermic, and a clinical examination indicated the presence of gas and edema in the limb. Despite emergency treatment, the animal died in only a few minutes. Samples of muscular tissue from the necrotic area were aseptically collected and plated onto defibrinated sheep blood agar (5%) in anaerobic conditions. Colonies suggestive of Clostridium spp. were submitted to testing by multiplex-PCR. Impression smears of the tissues, visualized with Gram and also with panoptic stains, revealed long rod-shaped organisms, and specimens also tested positive using the fluorescent antibody technique (FAT). The FAT and mPCR tests enabled a diagnosis of C. septicum myonecrosis in the dog. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Fator necrosante citotóxico em Escherichia coli isolada de mastite clínica bovina

This report describes the production of cytotoxic necrotizing factor (CNF) by an Escherichia coli strain isolated from clinical bovine mastitis with clinical signs of toxemia The animal had hemorrhages and necrosis of the mammary glands, and died within 24 hours after the onset of clinical signs. In addition to CNF identification, alpha-haemolysin and siderophores production were also characterized in this strain. This report reinforce the association of CNF and alpha-haemolysin production in E. coli virulence associated with clinical cases of severe bovine mastitis.

Incidencia y resultados materno neonatales de la pre eclampsia grave sobre agregada a hipertensión arterial crónica en pacientes que ingresan en el Hospital Nacional de Maternidad de Enero a Diciembre 2013

Los trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo constituyen una complicación obstétrica frecuente y siguen siendo una de las primeras causas de muerte materna. Por tal razón, se considera que su prevalencia se vuelve indispensable para abordar de forma oportuna aquellas pacientes que se consideren en riesgo de presentar dicho problema, así como reforzar la educación prenatal. Las embarazadas durante sus controles prenatales deben de adquirir los conocimientos necesarios de los signos y síntomas de alarma de toxemia, para detectarla a tiempo. El presente trabajo se realizará en mujeres embarazadas ingresadas en el Hospital Nacional de Maternidad que presentan diagnóstico de hipertensión arterial crónica más preeclamsia sobre agregada, durante un período comprendido entre enero-diciembre 2013. Se realizará un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, ya que se utilizará expedientes clínicos de las pacientes en estudio, en un periodo de tiempo determinado, tomando en cuenta su edad en años, edad gestacional, número de embarazos, zona geográfica, complicaciones maternas fetales; que a su vez, permitirá poder determinar su incidencia en relación a la morbilidad y mortalidad de esta patología, buscando así factores determinantes para el proceso salud enfermedad.
