ABSTRACT
Background: Coxofemoral luxation is the most common traumatic luxation in dogs and the iliotrochanteric suture is one of the surgical treatment options. The orthopedic suture aimed at surgically restoring joint movement should be employed in an isometric manner in order to maintain adequate tension throughout the arc of motion. This study aimed to determine the isometric points for the iliotrochanteric suture in dogs during the joint extension and flexion movements. This evaluation was performed both in the intact hip joint and in the luxation model, establishing the best combination, among the determined points, for the reestablishment of normal joint movement. Materials, Methods & Results: Radiographic analyses of 12 canine cadaveric hips, both intact and in craniodorsal luxation model, were performed in a neutral position, flexion at 50°, and extension at 150°. In the trochanteric segment, two parallel lines were drawn, creating the central vertical axis and the secondary vertical axis. Three points were then determined on each axis, from proximal to distal, corresponding to 25, 50, and 75% of the height of the axis, and were labelled as T1, T2, and T3 and T4, T5, and T6, respectively. In the iliac segment, a line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ilium was drawn, and 25, 50, and 75% of this height corresponded to points I1, I2, and I3, respectively. The lengths between the points were measured, with the objective of evaluating which combination of points presented less variation in the joint positions. The central location of the iliac and trochanteric segments, determined respectively by I2 and T2, provided smaller variations during the maximal movements of hip flexion and extension. Discussion: The surgical techniques of iliotrochanteric suture target to maintain the internal rotation of the femoral head inside the acetabulum and abduction of the femur until...

A parafimose, uma das diferentes afecções que podem atingir o sistema reprodutor masculino, é uma condição caracteriza da pela incapacidade do pênis em se retrair corretamente, que atinge cães machos de diferentes raças e idades. A gravidade é variável, podendo acarretar desde problemas reprodutivos a óbito. O objetivo do presente relato é descrever um caso de parafimose em um paciente canino sem raça definida, de quatro anos de idade, atendido no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade de Franca (UNIFRAN -SP), que respondeu favoravelmente ao tratamento conservativo instituído.
Paraphimosis, one of the different conditions that can reach the male reproductive system, is a condition characterized by the inability of the penis to retract properly affecting male dogs of different races and ages. The severity is variable, and can lead from reproductive problems to deaths. The aim of this report is to describe a case of paraphimosis in a canine patient, four years, treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Franca (UNIFRAN -SP), who responded favorably to the conservative treatment instituted.

O aumento do número de animais de companhia, seguido do despreparo e desconhecimento demuitos proprietários sobre a responsabilidade assumida ao adquirir um animal motivaram este estudo. Assim,através de um questionário, objetivou-se traçar o perfil do conhecimento dos tutores atendidos em um HospitalVeterinário Universitário sobre a posse responsável de cães e gatos. Os questionários foram individualmenteavaliados e os resultados expressos em valores absolutos e/ou percentuais. Os dados obtidos revelaram adesinformação dos pesquisados frente aos cuidados com os animais para evitar a ocorrência de acidentes ezoonoses. Também reforçaram a necessidade da atuação constante dos médicos veterinários na instrução econscientização da população sobre temas ligados à saúde pública e posse responsável. Verificou-se ainda, queo tempo de espera para consulta pode ser útil para a divulgação de informações e que, em um Hospital Escola,o envolvimento voluntário de discentes nesse ato seria de grande valia. Contudo, é preciso a adoção de açõesmultidisciplinares, em que governo e sociedade partilhem responsabilidades inerentes ao bem-estar animal eprevenção de doenças e acidentes na população humana(AU)
This study was motivated by the increasing number of pet animals, followed by the lack ofpreparation and ignorance of many owners about responsibility assumed by acquiring an animal. Thus, througha questionnaire, it was aimed to trace the knowledge profile about responsible ownership of dogs and cats ofthe tutors attended at Veterinary Teaching Hospital. The data were evaluated and results were showed inpercentual and/or absolute numbers. The data obtained revealed the surveyed disinformation regarding animalcare in order to avoid accidents and zoonoses. Also underscore the need for constant action of veterinarians ineducation and public awareness on issues related to public health and responsible ownership. It was also foundthat the waiting time for consultation may be useful for disseminating information and, in a teaching hospital,the voluntary involvement of students in this act would be of great value. However, it is necessary to adoptmultidisciplinary actions where government and society share responsibilities inherent to animal welfare andthe prevention of illness and accidents in the human population(AU)
