ABSTRACT

La diverticulitis apendicular es una enfermedad poco frecuente, con una incidencia aproximada de 1%. Se define por la presencia de divertículos verdaderos o falsos en la pared del apéndice cecal. Durante la fase aguda posee una clínica indistinguible a la apendicitis, sin embargo en ocasiones presenta características clínicas particulares que la distinguen de la apendicitis aguda, tales como la presencia de dolor abdominal insidioso o intermitente y/o ausencia de sintomatología gastrointestinal (náuseas, vómitos o anorexia). En la diverticulitis apendicular las técnicas imagenológicas son de utilidad limitada al otorgar información inespecífica, por lo que el diagnóstico tiende a realizarse mediante el estudio anatomopatológico del apéndice posterior a una intervención quirúrgica en paciente con cuadro clínico compatible con apendicitis aguda. El tratamiento de elección corresponde a la apendicectomía, lo que permite evitar complicaciones futuras como por ejemplo perforación apendicular, neoplasias, entre otros. Se obtuvieron los datos de fuentes como Pubmed y Scielo. Específicamente la búsqueda de artículos originales y de revisiones sistemáticas, preferentemente menores a 15 años de publicación en revistas científicas de alto índice de impacto, con las palabras "diverticulitis apendicular", "diverticulosis" y "complicaciones diverticulares".


Appendiceal diverticulitis is a rare disease with an incidence of approximately 1%. It is defined by the presence of true or false diverticula in the wall of the cecal appendix. During the acute phase, it has symptoms that are indistinguishable from appendicitis, however, it sometimes presents particular clinical characteristics that distinguish it from acute appendicitis, such as the presence of insidious or intermittent abdominal pain and/or the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, or anorexia). In appendiceal diverticulitis, imaging techniques are of limited utility as they provide non-specific information, so the diagnosis tends to be made through the pathology study of the treatment after surgery in a patient with a clinical picture compatible with acute appendicitis. The treatment of choice corresponds to appendectomy, which allows avoiding future complications such as appendiceal perforation, neoplasms, among others. Data were obtained from sources such as Pubmed and Scielo, specifically searching for original articles and systematic reviews with the words "apendicular diverticulitis", "diverticulosis" and "diverticular complications". The criteria used were articles mainly under 5 years of publication in high-impact scientific journals.

ABSTRACT

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Current treatments act directly on the signal transduction pathways in cancer cells, mainly. One of the main pathways is associated with the Epidermal Growth Factor (EGFR), whose mutations leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation and a higher rate of cell invasion. Activating mutations in the EGFR gene, which includes deletions in exon 19 and the L858R mutation in exon 21, were detected in most patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Studies of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) such as Gefitinib, Erlotinib and Afatinib, compared with platinum-based treatments, showed that EGFR-TKIs produce increased disease-free survival, although only in patients whose cancers harbor activating mutations in the EGFR gene. Clinical trials also demonstrated that EGFR-TKIs are effective as first-line therapies in stage IV pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Here, the main aspects of the activation of the EGFR pathway in NSCLC will be reviewed, highlighting the importance for health professionals of correctly identifying activating mutations in the EGFR gene and acting quickly at the molecular level based on aforementioned treatments.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia do meloxicam associado ou não ao tramadol, no controle da dor após ovário-histerectomia (OVH) laparoscópica com dois portais. Foram selecionadas 14 cadelas hígidas. Os animais foram separados de forma aleatória, em dois grupos. O grupo M (GM) recebeu meloxicam (0,2mg kg-1, s.i.d.), enquanto os animais do grupo MT (GMT) receberam a associação de meloxicam (0,2mg kg-1, s.i.d.) e tramadol (4mg kg-1, t.i.d.), ambos durante dois dias de pós-operatório. Para avaliação da dor pós-cirúrgica, foram utilizadas as escalas de Melbourne e escala visual analógica (EVA), além de mensurações de glicemia e cortisol sérico. Não houve diferença ao se avaliarem os grupos GM e GMT pela escala de Melbourne nem pela EVA. As mensurações de cortisol não atingiram valores superiores aos de referência para a espécie, enquanto os valores de glicemia não apresentaram variação significativa ao longo do tempo de avaliação nem entre grupos. Com os resultados deste estudo, foi possível concluir que a utilização de meloxicam associado ou não ao tramadol, nas doses e posologias propostas, é eficaz para controlar a dor pós-operatória de cadelas submetidas à OVH laparoscópica com dois portais.


The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of meloxicam with or without tramadol for pain control after laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy (OVH) by two-portal access. Were selected 14 healthy dogs to perform video-assisted OVHs. The animals were divided randomly into two groups (GM and GMT). The GM group received meloxicam (0.2mg kg-1, s.i.d), whereas the GMT group received the combination of meloxicam (0.2mg kg-1, s.i.d) and tramadol (4mg kg-1, tid), both for two days after surgery. To evaluate the post-surgical pain Melbourne and EVA scales were used, and blood glucose and serum cortisol were measured. There was no statistical difference when evaluating GM and GMT groups and the Melbourne scale or the visual analogue scale VAS. Cortisol measurements did not reach values higher than the reference for the species, while blood glucose levels did not present significant statistical variation throughout the evaluation time or between groups. With these results, we concluded that the use of meloxicam with or without the tramadol at the doses and dosage schedules proposed, is effective to control postoperative pain in bitches that had undergone video-assisted OVH with two-portal access.

ABSTRACT

O prolapso de vesícula urinária associado ao prolapso uterino é condição rara em cães e gatos. O tratamento preconizado para essa afecção é o reposicionamento anatômico das estruturas afetadas. No presente relato é descrito o manejo por meio de ovariossalpingo-histerectomia por celiotomia e, após dois dias, cistopexia videoassistida. Essa condição, conforme o conhecimento dos autores, não havia sido previamente descrita. A operação apresentou-se como possibilidade viável de tratamento, sem complicações pós-operatórias.(AU)


The urinary bladder prolapse associated with the uterus is a rare condition on dogs and cats. The recommended treatment is the anatomical repositioning of the affected structures by manual reduction or surgery procedure. The present report describes the management by video-assisted cystopexy two days after conventional ovariohysterectomy. This condition, according to the authors' knowledge, had not been previously described. The operation didn't showed postoperative complications, and presented itself as a viable treatment option.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Cistos renais podem formar-se em qualquer parte do néfron e dos ductos coletores. Alguns são hereditários, originando-se durante a organogênese, e outros se desenvolvem no tecido renal normal, depois que os rins estão completamente formados. No presente relato, descreve-se a ressecção de cisto e abscesso renais, por cirurgia laparoscópica em um cão. Para o acesso, foram utilizados três portais, dois de 10mm de diâmetro e um de 5mm, dispostos na parede abdominal lateral direita e, num segundo momento, na parede abdominal lateral esquerda. Conclui-se, portanto, que a técnica laparoscópica com três portais permite a realização de ressecção de cisto e abscesso renais em cães, sem a ocorrência de recidivas em curto prazo.


Renal cysts can be formed anywhere in the nephron and collecting duct system. Some are hereditary, originated during organogenesis, and others could have origin in the normal kidney tissue, after the kidney's development. This report describes the resection of renal cysts and abscesses by laparoscopic surgery in a dog. In order to access the cavity, three portals were used; two with 10mm and another with 5mm diameter, in the right lateral abdominal wall, and in another moment, in the left lateral abdominal wall. It is concluded that the laparoscopic technique with three portals allows the resection of renal cysts and abscesses in dogs, without the occurrence of relapses in the short postoperative time.

ABSTRACT

Foram comparadas duas vias de administração, oral e retal, com a solução de fosfato monobásico e dibásico de sódio (NaP), juntamente com bisacodil via oral, no preparo do cólon para colonoscopia rígida em cães, para avaliar parâmetros clínicos, qualidade do preparo e variações dos eletrólitos fósforo, cálcio, potássio (K+) sódio (Na+) e magnésio (Mg+), além da creatinina, albumina e hemograma. Todos os eletrólitos apresentaram alterações, sendo significativa a queda nos níveis de K+ e Mg+. Não houve alterações eletrocardiográficas, e a redução da microbiota bacteriana foi confirmada nos dois grupos de administração da solução. Os resultados foram similares quanto à incidência de efeitos colaterais, porém a via retal apresentou facilidade na administração, menor retenção fecal no cólon, maior rapidez para realização da colonoscopia, com menor desperdício de tempo na lavagem e na aspiração do conteúdo fecal. O preparo intestinal com bisacodil oral e solução de NaP por via retal foi mais eficaz, podendo ser recomendado em cães que serão submetidos à colonoscopia.


The efficacy of oral and rectal administration of sodium phosphate monobasic and dibasic solution (NaP) combined with bisacodil per oral, as drugs to prepare the colon for rigid colonoscopy in dogs was compa1ed. Clinical parameters; colonic cleaning, plasma concentration of calcium, potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), magnesium (Mg+), creatinine, and albumin, and complete blood count were evaluated. In both groups, all electrolytes presented alterations, with significant reduction of the levels of K+ and Mg+, but there were no electrocardiographic alterations. No difference in the reduction of bacterial population was observed between the two groups. The results were similar regarding the incidence of side effects; however, the rectal route presented less fecal retention in colon and could get patients ready for the procedure faster. The preparation of bowel with bisacodil and NaP solution by rectal route was more effective and could be recommended for colonoscopy in dogs.
