Análise macroscópica comparativa do intestino do Puma Concolor e Felis Catus
(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2024-10-09) MARQUES, Mariana Nogueira; RIBEIRO, Camila; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto; AIUB, Plinio Bruno; VITOR, Victório Jordão; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre
This study compared the macroscopic anatomy of the intestine of domestic cats and the Puma concolor, which is one of the largest felines in Brazil, widely distributed throughout the country, and is highly relevant as a flagship animal that suffers enormous losses due to human action. Due to its extreme national importance, the study of its anatomy is essential for academic, clinical, surgical purposes and for actions to preserve it. Since the digestive system is one of the main agents for the homeostasis of an organism, anatomical knowledge of the intestine, the largest portion of this system, is essential. The intestine of felines is divided into the small intestine, composed of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum, and the large intestine, composed of the cecum, colon and rectum. This work aims to analyze, describe and catalog the morphology of the intestine of the puma (Puma concolor) to improve anatomical knowledge of this animal for a variety of needs, such as scientific work, clinical and surgical assistance, environmental and food management, and mainly to help preserve and conserve this species.
Análise microscópica comparativa do intestino da Puma Concolor e Felis Catus
(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2024-10-09) RIBEIRO, Camila; MARQUES, Mariana Nogueira; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto; AIUB, Plinio Bruno; VITOR, Victório Jordão; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre
This study compared the microscopic anatomy of the intestine of Puma concolor with that of the domestic cat in order to describe, evaluate and catalog the differences and similarities in the intestinal morphology of these species. The intestine is the largest portion of the digestive system and is extremely important for the proper functioning of the organism. Under microscopy, both intestines have mucosal, submucosal, muscular and serous layers; however, only the small intestine has villi, while this structure is absent in the large intestine. The microscopic intestinal anatomy of domestic and wild felines is similar. The puma is one of the largest felines in Brazil, widely distributed throughout the national territory, and is highly relevant in the country. Furthermore, it is a national animal and suffers enormous losses due to human actions. Therefore, this research aims to enrich the anatomical knowledge of Puma concolor to assist in clinical and surgical care, environmental management, and mainly in the preservation of this species.
Diagnóstico da Síndrome Podotroclear em Equinos: alterações radiográficas e ultrassonográficas
(Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2022-09-09) TODERO, Larissa M.; RIBEIRO, Camila; ALAYON, Ana Carolina E.; MATIAS, Lizandra C.; REIS, Laysla D.; RODRIGUES, Paulo D.; PESSINATTI, Bárbara D.
Podotrochlear syndrome, also known as navicular bone syndrome, in horses, is characterized by chronic and progressive pain. Its etiopathogenesis is still not fully understood, but the theory of biomechanics is the most defended. Its diagnosis is performed through orthopedic examination, perineural blocks and complementary exams, the most used being radiography and ultrasound. Radiography becomes the exam of choice for confirmation of this syndrome, the projections of choice are lateromedial, dorsoproximalpalmaro/plantarodistal oblique and palmaro/plantaroproximal-palmaro/plantarodistal oblique, better known as Skyline. Among the alterations found in the radiographic examination, there are changes in the size and number of synovial invaginations, sclerosis, loss of corticomedullary definition and cortical erosion. However, not all animals that present clinical signs present radiographic signs, therefore, lesions in soft tissues that make up the podotrochlear apparatus may be involved. Therefore, the ultrasound examination is relevant. The distal palmar/plantar accesses of the hip and the transcuneal approach are performed and the alterations found mainly affect the deep digital flexor tendon, the navicular bursa and the annular ligament of the distal sesamoid bone.
Hiperadrenocorticismo em felinos: manifestações clinicas, métodos diagnósticos e tratamento - Revisão bibliográfica
(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2024-10-09) BIZAIA, Emily Cristina; RIBEIRO, Camila; GONÇALVES, Brenna Maria Cyrino Nogueira
Although uncommon in felines, hyperadrenocorticism is an important condition to understand in this species, since it presents a challenging diagnosis and treatment. The most common clinical signs are polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, skin atrophy, bulging abdomen, symmetrical bilateral alopecia, weight gain and muscle atrophy. These are usually the same symptoms as diabetes mellitus or skin hyperfragility, since hyperadrenocorticism can be related to these pathologies. In laboratory tests, stress leukogram, hyperglycemia, glycosuria and hypercholesterolemia are common, and there may also be an increase in ALT and ALP. In addition to laboratory tests, this disease requires a more specific diagnosis, such as low-dose dexamethasone suppression tests, adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation or high-dose dexamethasone suppression tests, and also the cortisol-creatinine ratio. For treatment, the use of trilostane, cabergoline, radiotherapy or hypophysectomy for pituitary tumors and unilateral or bilateral adrenalectomy are indicated. The objective of this work is to carry out, through bibliographic research, a review of the pathology of hyperadrenocorticism in felines, so that we have a deeper understanding of it, since it is less common, and thus obtain knowledge about the diagnosis and more effective forms of treatment.
