Apesar dos avanços na sua abordagem terapêutica, a hemorragia severa continua a ser a principal causa de morbilidade e mortalidade em animais vítimas de trauma ou sujeitos a intervenção cirúrgica. A causa das lesões decorrentes, ou da morte consequente, deve-se ao deficit de volume de fluidos intravasculares e subsequente desenvolvimento do estado hipovolémico.O controlo da hipovolémia passa pela resolução da h...
Animal bodies represent one of the more complex and perfect systems of nature but despite its complexity and functionality, the control of its basic functions is performed by only two systems: the nervous system and the endocrine system. Reproduction, gestation, muscle contraction, nutrient digestion and absorption, hydroelectrolytic balance, haematopoiesis and so many other bodily functions, are directly or in...
Os Fibrossarcomas dos felinos domésticos estão reconhecidos desde há 10 anos e têm vindo a alertar os Veterinários, os proprietários e os fabricantes de vacinas, devido à possível ligação do acto de vacinação ao desenvolvimento deste sarcoma. A partir da década de 90, registou-se o aumento dos casos deste tumor na região cervical e interescapular dos gatos, locais frequentemente utilizados para a inoculação de ...
Objectives: The aim of this study is to identify and quantify apoptosis in renal tissue, using a biochemical marker (TUNEL) in a pig haemorrhagic model, after intravascular volume replacement with Ringer's lactate RL) or Hydroxyethylstarch (HES) 130/0.4) solutions. Methods: 18 Large White pigs underwent total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and remifentanil. 25 ml/kg of arterial blood were removed ...
Apoptosis plays a key role in intestinal injury, as response to ischemia. Furthermore, reperfusion exacerbates abnormal intestinal apoptosis. In this study, the apoptotic index (AI) in the small intestine after haemorrhage and volume replacement with Ringer´s solution was evaluated, in a pig model
FEDER funds trough the COMPETE Program, and by national funds from Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, under the project COMPETE: FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-009525 ; Apoptosis plays a key role in intestinal injury, as response to ischemia. Furthermore, reperfusion exacerbates abnormal intestinal apoptosis. In this study, the apoptotic index (AI) in the small intestine after haemorrhage and volume replac...
TUNEL staining is one of the most frequently used method to detect apoptosis in renal tissues. The aim of this part of the study was to evaluate kidney damage after acute bleeding and volume replacement, with a colloid or a crystalloid, in a pig model
The physico-mechanical properties of 3 films composed by carvacrol, grape seed extract (GSE) and chitosan in different proportions were studied. The films, prepared by solvent casting technique with the following compositions of the casting solutions in carvacrol, GSE and chitosan: film-1: 9.6 ppm–684 ppm–1.25% w/v, film-2: 60 ppm–400 ppm–1.2% w/v and film-3: 90 ppm–160 ppm–1.24% w/v and were compared to a cont...
Background: Nodular increases in mesangial matrix is the definition of Kimmelstiel-Wilson (K-W) lesions. In man, focal mesangiolyses and K-W nodules were positively associated with diabetes, proteinuria and hyalinization of afferent and efferent arterioles. Although, nodular sclerotic lesions may also occur in the absence of diabetic nephropathy and are clinically related to hypertension, smoking, hypercholeste...
Introdução: As fístulas arteriovenosas durais (FAVd) são usualmente adquiridas e quando apresentam drenagem venosa cortical estão associadas a um risco elevado de hemorragia. Podem ser tratadas por embolização (transarterial ou transvenosa), cirurgicamente ou pela combinação das duas técnicas. A embolização por via transvenosa induz uma trombose iatrogénica do seio venoso, acarretando risco de enfarte venos...
