The kidneys are paired structures covered externally by a capsule of dense connective tissue, resembling a bean grain shape, thin and well defined. They are located in the retroperitoneal space, located ventral to the transverse processes of the vertebrae in the dorsal abdominal wall, projecting cranially to the last ribs of the abdomen. For this research, four animals were used, two large felines (Puma concolor), and two domestic felines (Felis catus), so that both species went through the dissection process to recognize the structures and anatomical location of the organ under study. During the dissection process so far there has been a difference in kidney size, kidney weight and vein caliber. and renal arteries between species, in addition to the fact that one of the large felids had an extra renal vein on the right side, differentiating itself from other animals. However, it is noted that the topographic location of the kidneys of jaguars is similar to that of domestic felines. The aim of the study is to characterize the kidneys of domestic felines (Felis catus) and the kidneys of large felines (Puma concolor) in the macroscopic part, making it possible to carry out a comparative analysis of the renal morphological characteristics between the two species, to verify possible differences between they. The aim is also to obtain information that explains the appearance of changes that may predispose the occurrence of common pathologies in feline clinics.
Importância e métodos de conservação do axalote (Ambystoma mexicanum) in situ e ex situ : revisão de literatura
(Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2023-10-18) OLIVEIRA, Giovani Vinícius de; RODRIGUES, Paulo Daniel; AIUB, Plinio B.
The axolotl is an aquatic amphibian native to Mexico, known for its ability to regenerate and its peculiar appearance. However, its wild population has been declining due to habitat loss, water pollution and illegal trapping. To ensure the survival of axolotls, in situ (in the natural environment) and ex situ (in captivity) conservation strategies are necessary. In situ conservation involves the protection and management of natural habitats, while ex situ conservation involves captive breeding and maintenance of populations. Both approaches play complementary roles in preserving the species, allowing the maintenance of genetic diversity, carrying out scientific research and developing reintroduction strategies into the wild.
Manejo alimentar inadequado e sua relação com a lipidose hepática em psitácideos: revisão de literatura

Currently, exotic and wild species have gained space as pets. Due to their behavior, psittaciformes or parrots (parrots, cockatiels, Australian parakeet, for example) example) are commonly found as pets and are consequently present in the routine of veterinarians specializing in unconventional pets. Factors such as The owner's inexperience, lack of veterinary monitoring and the inappropriate way of acquiring the animal result in errors in food management. Offering a diet rich in fatty seeds and lacking in nutrients is associated with the incidence of diseases arising from incorrect diet and among them, liver diseases, more precisely, hepatic lipidosis. This disease is characterized by excessive accumulation of fat in the liver, with different etiologies, with the individual being able to or not demonstrate clinical signs and biochemical changes.
