Clínica e cirurgia de equinos
O presente relatório pretende descrever as atividades desenvolvidas no âmbito do estágio
curricular do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária da Universidade de Évora.
Este relatório está separado em duas partes. Numa primeira parte apresenta-se a casuística
acompanhada nos quatros meses de estágio nas diversas áreas da clínica geral de equinos,
descrevendo-se alguns casos clínicos de forma mais específica.
Na segunda parte é apresentada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre feridas contendo tecido de
granulação, nas extremidades distais dos membros e o seu tratamento. Para terminar discutem-se três casos clínicos com diferente evolução do tecido de granulação.
As feridas são das afeções mais comuns na clínica de equinos e, nesta espécie, umas das
principais complicações é a formação excessiva de tecido de granulação. Desbridamento
cirúrgico, corticosteroides, enxerto de pele e laser são alguns dos tratamentos a que se pode
recorrer, embora algumas vezes nenhum deles seja eficaz; Equine clinic and surgery
Abstract:
The current report prentends to describe the activities developed in the ambit integrated
internship of the master's degree in Veterinary Medicine of the University of Evora.
This report is separated in two parts. In the first part it will be presented the casuistics followed
in the four months of internship in the various areas of general equine practice, with some clinical
cases being described more specifically.
In the second part is presented a literature review about wounds with granulation tissue in the
distal extremities of the limbs and their treatment. To finish, three clinical cases with diferent
granulation tissue evolution are discussed.
Wounds are the most common affections in the horse clinic, and in this specie, one of the main
complications is the excessive formation of granulation tissue. Surgical debridement,
corticosteroids, skin grafts and laser are some of the treatments that can be used, although
sometimes none of them is effective

Modifiable risk factors and contribution to adjusted R<sup>2</sup> as a percentage.
<p>Body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure are the modifiable risk factors which most consistently contribute to alterations in cardiac structure and function.</p

Interaction plots for age and MHT use.
<p>For every ten-year increment in age, there is a reduction in LV end-diastolic volume, LV end-systolic volume, LV stroke volume and LA maximal volume. The relationship between age and CMR outcomes is of greater magnitude amongst MHT users than that amongst non-users.</p
Association between baseline handgrip strength and cardiac structure and function by age, adjusted for all covariates.
<p>The figure shows the association between baseline handgrip strength and the cardiac outcome parameters by age after adjustment for all covariates. Intervals of baseline handgrip strength were chosen to closely represent one standard deviation with a mean at approximately 35 kg. Error bars represent 95% CI. Baseline handgrip strength has a stronger association with LVEDV and LVSV among younger individuals and a stronger association with LVM and LVMVR among older individuals. HGS, handgrip strength; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDV, left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVESV, left ventricular end-systolic volume; LVSV, left ventricular stroke volume; LVM, left ventricular mass; LVMVR, left ventricular mass to volume ratio.</p
