RESUMO
Sialolitíase é uma afecção que afeta as glândulas salivares ou seus ductos, caracterizada pela presença de estruturas calcificadas, denominadas de sialolitos, com crescimento lento e gradual, geralmente assintomático, dificultando ou impedindo o fluxo normal de saliva. Devido à ausência de relatos na literatura nacional, descreve-se o caso de uma égua de 15 anos, que apresentava um sialolito de 13cm no ducto parotídico havia mais de dois anos, próximo à crista facial. O diagnóstico foi realizado por meio do exame clínico: visualização do aumento de volume, palpação do sialolito, avaliação odontológica; e de exames complementares: radiografia e ultrassonografia. Optou-se pelo tratamento cirúrgico, através do acesso percutâneo, pois é o mais indicado para cálculos grandes, realizando-se sutura do ducto de Stenon, sem presença de fístulas no pós-operatório. Foi de extrema importância a avaliação e os cuidados odontológicos durante a realização do procedimento, pois as pontas dentárias facilitam a formação dos cálculos.(AU)
Sialolithiasis is a condition that affects the salivary glands or their ducts, characterized by the presence of calcified structures, called sialolites, with slow and gradual growth, usually asymptomatic, hindering or impeding the normal flow of saliva. Due to the absence of reports in the national literature, the case of a 15-year-old mare who had a 13cm sialolite in the parotid duct near the face ridge for more than 2 years is described. The diagnosis was made through clinical examination: with visualization and palpation of the sialolite, dental evaluation; and complementary exams: radiography and ultrasonography. We chose surgical treatment through percutaneous access, which is the most appropriate for large stones, and Stenon's duct suture was performed, without postoperative fistulas. The assessment and dental care during the procedure was extremely important, since the dental tips facilitate the formation of the stones.(AU)

Ultrashort mid-infrared pulses at a repetition rate of 82 MHz have been generated by difference-frequency mixing at the output of a single-cavity, two-color femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser. The center wavelengths of the midinfrared pulses are tunable from 7.5 to 12.5 microm. Their pulse durations range from 450 to 650 fs, as a function of the center wavelength.
RESUMO
We discuss the use of time-resolved IR reflection and transmission for studying semiconductor carrier dynamics. We solve Maxwell's equations for a nonhomogeneous carrier distribution in the limit of small perturbation. We show that the IR probe is sensitive to the spatial profile of the carrier density far below the surface. We present results of measurements for InP:Fe that demonstrate the advantages of this technique.
