ABSTRACT
A 7-month-old miniature poodle female dog was referred with dysphagia. After clinical, radiographic, and endoscopic examination, it was diagnosed a probable case of cricopharyngeal achalasia. The patient underwent surgical treatment and presented normal swallowing and no regurgitation after 24 hours post-surgery. Positive recovery and progressive body weight gain until 180 days after surgery was observed.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of frozen-thawed spermatozoa within the uterine lumen and oviducts following intrauterine laparoscopic deposition at two sites. Twelve bitches of unknown reproductive history were randomly distributed into two groups. Semen (3 ml containing 300 × 10(6) frozen-thawed spermatozoa) was infused at the uterine body (UB group) or at the cranial tip of the left uterine horn. A 22-G catheter was used to access the uterine lumen. Sperm cell distribution was evaluated after ovariohysterectomy performed 3 h after artificial insemination (AI). There was no difference between groups in mean time to perform AI. Spermatozoa were detected in all uterine segments, including the tip of both horns, but none was detected in the oviduct. The 22-G catheter facilitated deposition of semen in the uterine lumen, particularly at the UB site. Sperm cell distribution occurred evenly along both horns, independent of the site of semen deposition.

O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os aspectos psicológicos de nove pacientes com lesäo medular inserido em um grupo e verificar a importância da atuaçao do psicólogo no programa de reabilitaçäo, junto aos pacientes e a equipe de sáude. Pôde-se concluir que os pacientes apresentavam como reaçöes frenquentes a lesäo: agressividade, depressäo, ansiedade, angústia, isolamento social, ambivalência e esperança. Apresentaram formas específicas de relacionamento com as diversas atividades propostas em grupo. Verificou-se que a estrutura de personalidade anterior a lesäo influenciou o vínculo estabelecido com a doença, com os outros membros do grupo e com a equipe de saúde.Constatou-se a importância da formaçao de uma equipe integrada e composta de objetivos comuns
