Técnica de Doyle na correção de fratura completa em úmero de tucano (Ramphastos toco): relato de caso / Doyle technique in the repair of complete fracture in the humerus of toucan (Ramphastos toco): a case report

O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar a realização de osteossíntese no úmero esquerdo de uma ave silvestre utilizando-se a técnica de Doyle. Um tucano (Ramphastos toco) sofreu uma fratura transversa completa no terço proximal do úmero esquerdo. Após avaliação clínica e procedimentos pré-operatórios, a ave foi submetida à osteossíntese. A técnica cirúrgica utilizada permitiu uma perfeita coaptação dos fragmentos ósseos, ocasionando a formação de calo ósseo e recuperação do membro afetado em um período curto de tempo, apresentando-se como opção eficaz na correção de fraturas do úmero em aves de médio porte...

The aim of this study was to report the realization of the left humerus osteosynthesis of a wild bird using the Doyle technique. A toucan (Ramphastos toco) suffered a complete transverse fracture of the proximal third of the left humerus. After clinical evaluation and pre-operative procedures, the bird was submitted to osteosynthesis. The surgical technique used allowed a perfect coaptation of the bone fragments, resulting in the formation of a bone callus and recovery of the affected limb in a short period of time presenting this as an effective option for the correction of fractures of the humerus in medium size birds...

Del método holmesiano a la gesta clínico-epidemiológica del maestro Félix Pifano / From the holmesian method to the magister Felix Pifano`s clinical epidemiological exploit

El método holmesiano o sherlockiano según se le quiera designar, se advierte en la obra de Pifano y se sostiene en los siguientes enunciados: 1 Ciudadosa observación mediante el empleo combinado de los sentidos, asociada a un conocimiento intiutivo y razonamiento deductivo. 2 Prestar atención a los detalles y mantener alerta a las discrepancias. 3 Considerar las diversas opciones presentes en un caso. 4 Aprender a diferenciar y conocer lo que es importante de lo que no lo es. El Maestro Pifano dio a conocer a sus alumnos lo que consideraba importante al fusionar el método clínico condicente a formular un diagnóstico (historia clínica y anamnesis cuidadosa, examen físico integral e integrado, e investigaciones complementarias) con el método epidemiológico que situaba al paciente en un espacio geográfico, en un tiempo determinado e insertado en una comunidad donde concurrían los diferentes elementos que determinaban su condición de enfermo. En suma, en su concepción, el estudio integral del enfermo era indisoluble de su ambiente, del biotopo donde se desarrollaban los fenómenos de la ecología asociada al grupo a la cual pertenecía-soma, psiquis y mundo externo

The Holmesian or Skerlockian methodology considered four important steps, 1 Careful observation by use of the senses combined with intuitive knowledge and deductive reasoning. 2 Attention to details and alertness to discrepancies. 3 Considering the many options present in a case 4 Knowing what is important and what is not. Through the discussion we will show how these elements were present in the work of Félix Pifano, M.D. Master Pifano unveiled their students what was considered important to merge the leading clinical method to make a diagnosis (medical history and careful anamnesis, physical examination, integral and integrated and complementary procedures) with the epidemiological method that placed the patient in a geographic area, at a time determined and inserted in a community where the various elements that determined their condition of ill person. In short, in its conception, the comprehensive study of the patient was indissoluble of its environment, the biotope where unfolded the phenomena of ecology associated to the group to which he belonged-soma, psyche and world external

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes y las enfermedades infecciosas / Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes and infectious diseases

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, además de ameno escritor de best sellers, era médico y escribió excelentes cuentos sobre el ejercicio de su profesión en Inglaterra. Sin embargo, a pesar de mencionar The British Medical Journal y The Lancet en sus historias de Sherlock Holmes, al introducir enfermedades infecciosas en sus tramas, ignora descubrimientos importantes ya realizados en su época en el campo del tétanos. En todo caso, las apariciones de las enfermedades infecciosas en las historias del detective son escasas: una mención del tétanos, otra de la lepra y -la más analizada en la literatura médica- un caso de asesinato realizado mediante la inoculación de una bacteria, probablemente del agente de la melioidosis. También hizo a su héroe descubrir las acciones tóxicas de una medusa y de un trasplante de órganos. Poco para un médico y poco para un autor que también escribía ciencia ficción: pareciera que la historia de los grandes descubrimientos médicos de fines del siglo XX y comienzos del XXI pasó por su lado... y no la vio.

Besides a pleasant author of best sellers, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a medical doctor, writing excellent short stories about the exercise of his profession in England. However, even he mentions The British Medical Journal and The Lancet in the Sherlock Holmes’s stories, when in the plot introduces infectious diseases, Conan Doyle ignores important discoveries in the field of tetanus. Anyway, the appearing of infectious diseases in the adventures of the detective are rare: one mention of tetanus, another of leprosy and- the most analyzed in medical literature -a case of murder by inoculation of bacteria, probably the agent of melioidosis. Also he makes his hero discovers the toxic actions of a medusa and a transplant of solid organ. Little for a physician and less for an author who also wrote science fiction: it seems that the history of the great medical discoveries at the end of nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth has passed by his side… and he just couldn’t see it.
