ABSTRACT
Abstract Purpose To collect data capable of pointing out the effects of the ultracavitation treatment on the liver of rabbits after adipose tissue application, by means of histological analyses of the liver and hematological and biochemical exams. Methods This is an experimental study with 12 albino rabbits as sample, which were divided into 3 groups and submitted to a hypercaloric diet for one month. Subsequently, subjects underwent UCV treatment: 3 minutes, 30 W, continuous mode at 100%, every 2 ERAS = 441.02 J/cm2, intensity of 10w/cm2. They were then euthanized and underwent biopsy after 24 hours. Results After 48 hours from the ultracavitation treatment, the animals' livers presented greater amount of fat infiltration if compared to the amount presented 96 hours after the treatment. However, laboratory tests showed no alterations. Values were maintained within normal parameters of cholesterol, triglycerides, liver enzymes, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. Conclusions This study has identified that infiltrates may appear on livers after the treatment, despite high hematological and biochemical tests results. The fat infiltrates reduction 96 h after treatment suggests lower risks to animal health, if the period between applications is respected.

Resumo Com os crescentes processos contra médicos, seja na esfera cível, administrativa ou criminal, a judicialização da medicina tem se tornado cada vez mais comum. Portanto, é fundamental que o profissional de medicina conheça a realidade atual e se prepare para enfrentá-la. Partindo desse princípio, este estudo investigou os arquivos do Conselho Regional de Medicina do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte a fim de levantar as denúncias recebidas, sindicâncias, processos instaurados e julgados e penas disciplinares aplicadas entre 2000 e 2015. Após análise dos dados, observou-se maior índice de médicos homens denunciados e número reduzido de penas aplicadas. A pesquisa conclui que é necessário investir na prevenção do erro mediante educação médica continuada e de qualidade, a fim de conservar boa relação entre profissional e paciente.
Abstract With the increasing lawsuits against physicians, whether in the civil, administrative or criminal sphere, the judicialization of medicine has become increasingly common. Therefore, it is essential that medical professionals know the current reality and are prepared to face it. Based on this principle, this study investigated the archives of the Conselho Regional de Medicina (Regional Council of Medicine) for the State of Rio Grande do Norte in order to raise complaints received, investigations, prosecutions and judgments as well as disciplinary penalties applied between 2000 and 2015. After analyzing the data, it was observed that a higher rate of male physicians were reported, and a small number of penalties applied. The research concludes that it is necessary to invest in the prevention of errors through quality and continuous medical education in order to maintain a good relationship between professionals and patients.

Después del análisis de datos, se observó un mayor índice de médicos varones denunciados y un número reducido de sanciones aplicadas. La investigación concluye que es necesario invertir en la prevención de errores a través de la formación médica continua y de calidad, a fin de conservar una buena relación entre profesional y paciente.
