    Aspectos da ceratoconjuntivite seca (CCS) em cães e gatos: revisão de literatura
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) LIMA, Amanda Curcio de; ARAÚJO, João Pedro Alves de; TORRES, Maria Lúcia Marcucci; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto
    Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (CCS) or dry eye is a chronic inflammatory eye disease, often diagnosed in dogs and more rarely in felines. It is a disorder of the precorneal tear film, which results in a deficiency of the aqueous fraction or the mucin and/or lipid layers of the tear film, leading to inflammation of the conjunctiva and cornea, pain and reduced vision. The Schirmer tear test (TLS) is considered the main means of diagnosis. There are several causes for the onset of the disease, but the immune-mediated is believed to be the most common. Treatment is usually recommended in the use of tear stimulants and tear mimetics in addition to antimicrobials. The objective of this work was to expand the knowledge about CCS, a very common disease in veterinary medicine.

    Traumatologia aplicada a distúrbios encefálicos em gatos domésticos
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) ARAÚJO, João Pedro Alves de; MARTUCCI, Mariane Ferracin; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto
    Domestic felines are docile animals and, despite being domesticated, they have not lost their predatory habits and exploratory instinct. The most different reasons drove these animals to risk climbing in high places and as a result, many suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which is one of the main cases of recorded deaths. The involvement of structures such as the brain caused the animals to present several systemic manifestations and even changes in behavior resulting from cases of trauma. Not only neurological alterations were able to lead to systemic consequences, but systemic alterations were responsible for causing nervous symptoms, and therefore, in these cases, a complete anamnesis added relevant information to the clinical pictures, allowing more informed diagnoses and consequently better targeted treatments. . Many drugs can be used, such as anti-inflammatories and analgesics, and some pharmacological associations were made and showed good results. The present work aimed to carry out a literature review on such clinical conditions, listing some of the pharmacological types used in the treatment of felines, such as their differentials.
