LAMINITE EM PORCAS DESCARTADAS PROVENIENTES DE GRANJAS COMERCIAIS DE SUÍNOS DO SUL DO BRASIL

Although laminitis has been reported in pigs, distal phalanx rotation detected by radiography has not been described yet in this species. Accordingly, this paper describes three cases of laminitis in sows from a Brazilian commercial swine unit, and a preliminary study on laminitis in culled sows from a slaughterhouse, based on radiographic evaluation. A farrow-to-finish unit located in a central swine production area in southern Brazil showed a history of locomotor alterations in sows. Three lame sows were selected for examination. They displayed typical clinical signs of laminitis. Their feet were radiographed, and all three showed distal phalanx deviation in at least one digit. In order to find out the possibility of laminitis occurrence in other farms, thirteen hind and five front feet from lame sows were collected in a slaughterhouse, and radiographed in lateromedial position. Eleven sows (61%) showed distal phalanx rotation of the third or the fourth digit, whereas eight of them (44%) showed this alteration in both digits. Osteolysis in five sows (28%) and periosteal proliferation in another four sows (11%) were observed. In conclusion, laminitis with distal phalanx rotation is present in Brazilian herds, and radiographic analysis may be an important diagnosis tool for the disease in vivo or at slaughterhouses.Embora a laminite tenha sido relatada em suínos, a rotação de falange distal detectada por radiografia ainda não foi descrita nessa espécie. O presente trabalho descreve três casos de laminite em porcas provenientes de uma granja comercial de suínos bem como relata um estudo preliminar sobre laminite em porcas de descarte em abatedouro, baseado em avaliações radiográficas. Uma granja de ciclo completo localizada em uma área de exploração suinícola do sul do Brasil mostrou histórico de alterações locomotoras em porcas. Três porcas com claudicação foram selecionadas para exame. Elas apresentavam sinais clínicos típicos de laminite. Seus membros foram radiografados e todas apresentaram rotação de falange distal em pelo menos um dígito. Para verificar a presença de laminite em outros rebanhos da região, treze membros pélvico e cinco membros torácicos de matrizes suínas foram colhidos em um abatedouro e radiografados em posição latero-medial. Onze porcas (61%) mostraram rotação de falange distal no terceiro ou no quarto dígito, enquanto oito delas (44%) mostraram essa alteração em ambos os dígitos. Foram observadas osteólises em cinco (28%) porcas e proliferação periosteal em quatro porcas (11%). Em conclusão, a laminite está presente em rebanhos suínos brasileiros, e a análise radiográfica constitui-se em uma importante ferramenta para o diagnóstico da doença in vivo ou em abatedouros

Uso de índices RGB para o Bioma Caatinga associados a dados meteorológicos e índices de vegetação: estudos iniciais.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo monitorar a cobertura vegetal em uma área de Caatinga preservada por meio de imagens digitais, bem como sua correlação com dados meteorológicos e índices de vegetação obtidos em imagens MODIS

Mathematical evaluation of jumping distance in total hip arthroplasty: Influence of abduction angle, femoral head offset, and head diameter

Background and purpose The jumping distance (JD) is the degree of lateral translation of the femoral head center required before dislocation occurs. The smaller the distance, the higher the theoretical risk of dislocation. The aim of our study was to evaluate this jumping distance and its variation according to the characteristics of the implant, and also the theoretical gain in using large head diameters of above 38 mm

Linking plant phenology to conservation biology

Phenology has achieved a prominent position in current scenarios of global change research given its role inmonitoring and predicting the timing of recurrent life cycle events. However, the implications of phenology to environmental conservation and management remain poorly explored. Here,we present the first explicit appraisal of howphenology-amultidisciplinary science encompassing biometeorology, ecology, and evolutionary biology- can make a key contribution to contemporary conservation biology. We focus on shifts in plant phenology induced by global change, their impacts on species diversity and plant-animal interactions in the tropics, and how conservation efforts could be enhanced in relation to plant resource organization. We identify the effects of phenological changes and mismatches in the maintenance and conservation of mutualistic interactions, and examine how phenological research can contribute to evaluate, manage and mitigate the consequences of land-use change and other natural and anthropogenic disturbances, such as fire, exotic and invasive species. Wealso identify cutting-edge tools that can improve the spatial and temporal coverage of phenological monitoring, from satellites to drones and digital cameras. We highlight the role of historical information in recovering long-term phenological time series, and track climate-related shifts in tropical systems. Finally, we propose a set of measures to boost the contribution of phenology to conservation science.Weadvocate the inclusion of phenology into predictive models integrating evolutionary history to identify species groups that are either resilient or sensitive to future climate-change scenarios, and understand how phenological m ismatches can affect community dynamics, ecosystem services, and conservation over time
