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...
Os anéis vasculares são uma causa rara de sintomatologia respiratória na criança, cuja gravidade está directamente relacionada com o grau de compressão traqueobrônquica.Os autores descrevem o caso clínico de uma lactente de três meses de idade admitida na Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos para recobro de pós-operatório de fundoplicatura.O quadro de insuficiência respiratória aguda após extubação, cuja ...
Nosocomial infections (NIs) are acquired by patients during hospitalization (Nakamura & Tompkins, 2012), caused by an unbalance between the microbial flora and the patient's defense mechanism, or by the environment's colonization with pathogenic agents (Pereira et al., 2005). NIs are really important because they can cause serious consequences to the animal's health and well-being, worsen its primary condition ...
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
Spleen is important for many hematopoietic and immunological functions, namely in hemodynamic compensation during hemorrhagic shock, with a crucial role in restoring blood volume in situations of acute haemorrhage. Also, the administration of physiological solutions is of great importance for the correction of circulating volume, avoiding complications due to hypovolemia. The aim of this study was to eval...
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 main objective of this work is to provide the thermal analysis in wood-steel hybrid elements for building constructions under fire conditions. A transient thermal analysis with nonlinear material behaviour will be solved with ANSYS program. The use of wood-steel hybrid models has major advantages as increased fire resistance, and improved high strength. Wood is a lightweight material, easy to assemble, grea...
