Exugunlation Followed By Fracture And Avulsion Of The Distal Phalanx In Mare / Exungulación Seguida De Fractura Y Avulsión De La Falange Distal En Una Yegua

This is a case report that describes a severe condition of exungulation with distal phalanx avulsion in a mare, Quarter Horse of nine years old, attended at the Veterinary Hospital (HCV) from the Santa Catarina State University (CAV/UDESC), Lages, SC, Brazil. The animal showed exungulation of the right hindlimb due to transportation trauma and presented with severe lameness. All radiographs demonstrated osteoproliferative reaction in the proximal and middle phalanges and absence of the distal phalanx and the alar cartilage and severe peripheral soft tissue swelling. Due to the extensive injury with severe involvement of the distal phalanx and poor prognosis euthanasia was recommended and performed.(AU)

Este é um relato de caso que descreve uma condição grave de exungulação com avulsão da falange distal em uma égua, Quarto de Milha, de nove anos de idade, atendida no Hospital Veterinário (HCV) da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (CAV/UDESC), Lages, SC, Brasil. O animal apresentou exungulação no membro pélvico direito, decorrente de trauma durante o transporte, apresentando intensa claudicação. Nas radiografias obtidas observaram-se reação osteoproliferativa nas falanges proximal e média e ausência de grande parte da falange distal e da cartilagem alar e aumento de volume dos tecidos moles. Devido à extensa lesão com grave comprometimento da falange distal e prognóstico ruim, recomendou-se a eutanásia.(AU)

Aural Plaques in Crossbred Working Horses

Background: The aural plaque is a papillomatosis variant that occurs in the inner surface of the auricular pavilion of equine. The disease is associated with economic losses in the equine sector, since it reduces the commercial value of the severely affected animals. However, there are few studies evaluating the occurrence of aural plaques in different breeds and equine populations in Brazil and in other countries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency, clinical and histological characteristics of the aural plaques in working horses from Lages, SC, Brazil.Materials, Methods & Results: Seventy-three crossbreed equines were used, including 48 males and 25 females between 1 and 25 years old, and that were used as working horses (traction) in the urban perimeter in the city of Lages, SC. The findings related to breed, age, sex, presence or absence of compatible lesions with aural plaques, anatomical location and lesion characteristics were evaluated and annotated. The lesions were photographed and drawn on paper to determine the size and distribution in the ear and were reevaluated for a period of two months with an interval of 30 days between each evaluation. The number of aural plaques was determined by manual counting in each auricular pavilion, which were divided into four quadrants (left and right upper, right and left lower).

ASPECTOS ULTRASSONOGRÁFICOS DAS NEOPLASIAS HEPÁTICAS EM FELINOS - RELATO DE CASO

A ultrassonografia é um método importante de diagnóstico e prognóstico de lesões do parênquima hepático compatíveis com neoplasias (1,4). Em gatos tumores hepáticos metastáticos são mais comuns que tumores primários, considerados raros (1,4). Os tumores primários representam de 1 a 3% dentre todas as neoplasias, sendo os carcinomas colangiocelulares e hepatocelulares as formas mais frequentes (4). Tumores metastáticos geralmente são carcinomas originados no trato gastrointestinal ou nas glândulas mamárias e sarcomas do baço (1, 4); relata-se também a alta freqüência do envolvimento hepático nas neoplasias hemolinfáticas, como linfoma (1, 4).  Poucas lesões neoplásicas apresentam características sonográficas específicas, estas podem se apresentar como lesões difusas, focais ou multifocais, hipoecóicas, hiperecóicas ou mistas. Lesões nodulares focais ou multifocais geralmente apresentam-se em forma de alvo, com bordos bem definidos, sendo a cápsula hipoecóica e o centro hiperecóico, demonstrando um tecido fibrótico ou necrosado, o parênquima hepático que circunda a lesão geralmente encontra-se preservado (1, 2, 4). Essas lesões em alvo são também encontradas em lesões não neoplásicas enfatizando a dificuldade do diagnóstico ultrassonográfico (1,2). Algumas neoplasias, como o linfoma, podem cursar apenas com hepatomegalia, podendo ou não estar associada ao aumento ou diminuição da
