Fraturas e distúrbios musculoesqueléticos e homeopatia na veterinária

Distúrbios musculoesqueléticos, sejam eles de natureza traumática ou não, são muito frequentes em Medicina Veterinária, tanto em cães como em gatos. A Medicina Homeopática é de grande ajuda no tratamento dessas doenças, possibilitando uma recuperação segura, rápida e duradoura, embora existam poucos trabalhos científicos comprovando sua eficácia. Esse trabalho tem por objetivo fazer uma breve revisão de literatura das Calcareas (Carbonica, Phosphorica e Fluorica), Symphytum e Silicea, suas principais indicações clínicas no tratamento de fraturas e distúrbios musculosesqueléticos na medicina veterinária, exemplificando com um relato de caso.

Musculoskeletal disorders, whether or not caused by trauma, are very common in veterinary medicine, both in dogs and in cats. The Homeopathic medicine is of great help in the treatment of these diseases, enabling a safe, quick, and lasting recovery, although few scientific studies exist to prove its effectiveness. This work aims to make a brief literature review of calcareous (Carbonica, Phosphorica and Fluorica), Symphytum and Silicea, their main clinical applications in the treatment of fractures and skeletal muscles disorders in veterinary medicine, exemplifying with a casereport.(AU)

The efficacy and safety of comfrey.

Herbal medication has gathered increasing recognition in recent years with regard to both treatment options and health hazards. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids have been associated with substantial toxicity after their ingestion as tea and in the setting of contaminated cereals have led to endemic outbreaks in Jamaica, India and Afghanistan. In Western Europe, comfrey has been applied for inflammatory disorders such as arthritis, thrombophlebitis and gout and as a treatment for diarrhoea. Only recently was the use of comfrey leaves recognized as a substantial health hazard with hepatic toxicity in humans and carcinogenic potential in rodents. These effects are most likely due to various hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids such as lasiocarpine and symphytine, and their related N-oxides. The mechanisms by which toxicity and mutagenicity are conveyed are still not fully understood, but seem to be mediated through a toxic mechanism related to the biotransformation of alkaloids by hepatic microsomal enzymes. This produces highly reactive pyrroles which act as powerful alkylating agents. The main liver injury caused by comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is veno-occlusive disease, a non-thrombotic obliteration of small hepatic veins leading to cirrhosis and eventually liver failure. Patients may present with either acute or chronic clinical signs with portal hypertension, hepatomegaly and abdominal pain as the main features. Therapeutic approaches include avoiding intake and, if hepatic failure is imminent, liver transplantation. In view of the known serious hazards and the ban on distributing comfrey in Germany and Canada, it is difficult to understand why comfrey is still freely available in the United States.
