ABSTRACT: Long bone fractures are commonly in surgery routine and several bone imobilization techniques are currently available. Technological progress has enabled to use low cost materials in surgical procedures. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of polyamide 12 rods, solid and hollow in swine femurs, comparing them through flexion strength. This study had as second aim to fix the l...
This study analysed the effect of pastes formulated with calcium hydroxide P.A. and different vehicles (saline solution - paste A and Copaifera langsdorffii Desfon oil - paste B) on oral microorganisms and dentin bridge formation in dogs. The antimicrobial action of the pastes and their components was analysed by the minimum inhibitory concentration in agar gel technique. The components were diluted and tested ...
The occlusion of the inferior lacrimal punctum limits tear drainage and thus keeps it over the ocular surface, prolongs lubrication and minimizes the need of ocular lubricants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of n-butyl-cyanoacrylate and 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate adhesives in the occlusion of the inferior lacrimal punctum and canaliculi of dogs and their clinical repercussions over 180 days....
PURPOSE: To evaluate the female sterilization by occlusion of the ovarian blood flow, using the rat as experimental model.METHODS: Fifty-five females rats were divided into four groups: I (n=10), bilateral ovariectomy, euthanized at 60 or 90 days; II (n=5), opening the abdominal cavity, euthanized at 90 days; III (n=20), bilateral occlusion of the ovarian blood supply using titanium clips, euthanized at 60 or 9...
O exame ultrassonográfico ocular é indispensável no pré-operatório de procedimentos cirúrgicos intraoculares como a facectomia, além de ser uma ferramenta complementar ao exame oftalmológico, em casos de perda da transparência dos meios ópticos. A inexistência de estudos acerca de padrões de normalidades para as medidas do bulbo ocular e de suas estruturas internas nos gatos, cujos valores possibilitam o monito...
OBJETIVOS: Observar o comportamento da pressão intra-ocular, segundo os efeitos cardiorrespiratórios e hemodinâmicos induzidos pela anestesia geral com desflurano, em cães submetidos à hipovolemia experimental. MÉTODOS: Foram utilizados 18 cães, machos e fêmeas, com peso entre 10 e 15 kg. A hipovolemia foi realizada retirando-se 40 ml de sangue/kg de peso. A seguir, a anestesia foi induzida com desflurano atrav...
Electroretinography is a technique used for the objective assessment of retinal function and is useful as an auxiliary diagnostic tool for various ophthalmopathies. We report here information about the indications, components and measurements of the electroretinogram (ERG) and about the flash ERG technique illustrated by the Classic/Standard protocol used in the Ophthalmology Unit of the “Governador Laudo Natel...
Electroretinography is the technique that allows the evaluation of changes in electrical potential that occur when the eye is stimulated by light. Such changes reflect the response of several retinal cells including photoreceptors (cones and rods). Thus it evaluates the retinal functionality and can diagnose abnormalities in retinas seem to be normal by ophthalmoscopy. Due to the constant evolution in veterinar...
