    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.

    Cinomose em lobo guará Chrysocyon Brachyurus no Brasil
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2024-10-09) JOANA, Luana Passos; AIUB, Plinio Bruno
    Canine distemper is a highly contagious multisystem disease transmitted by the canine distemper virus, which belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family and the Morbillivirus genus. Its main clinical signs consist of purulent oculonasal secretion resulting from pneumonia due to secondary infection, fever, cough, anorexia, vomiting, dermatitis and depression. Neurological signs such as seizures, muscle rigidity, spasms, paresis, paralysis, ataxia, motor incoordination, blindness and myoclonus also occur in more advanced stages of the disease. The domestic dog is its main reservoir, however, it can also affect several species, such as the maned wolf, a wild canid. Infection of wild animals by the disease, resulting from urban encroachment into protected areas and an increase in the number of unvaccinated stray domestic dogs, poses a threat to wildlife conservation. Treatment of the disease consists of alleviating symptoms, either with supportive therapy, antipyretics, anticonvulsants and even antibiotics to prevent secondary infections. Since there is no specific treatment for this disease, the main way to combat it is through prevention. Studies have shown that the modified live virus vaccine used in domestic dogs is safe and effective for maned wolves, both in adulthood and as pups. However, this scenario becomes unlikely when it comes to free-living animals, making prevention extremely difficult.

    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.
