    This paper surveys topologies, called admissible group topologies, of the full group of self-homeomorphisms of a Tychonoff space , which yield continuity of both the group operations and at the same time provide continuity of the evaluation function or, in other words, make the evaluation function a group action of on . By means of a compact extension procedure, beyond local compactness and in two essentially different cases of rim-compactness, we show that the complete upper-semilattice of all admissible group topologies on admits a least element, that can be described simply as a set-open topology and contemporaneously as a uniform topology. But, then, carrying on another efficient way to produce admissible group topologies in substitution of, or in parallel with, the compact extension procedure, we show that rim-compactness is not a necessary condition for the existence of the least admissible group topology. Finally, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the topology of uniform convergence on the bounded sets of a local proximity space to be an admissible group topology. Also, we cite that local compactness of is not a necessary condition for the compact-open topology to be an admissible group topology of

    Suppose X is a topological space and Y a proximity space , fn L C f (Leader Convergence) iff for each A in X, B in Y, f(A) near B implies eventually fn (A) is near B. L.C. is a generalization of U. C. (Uniform Convergence). In this paper we study L. C. and various generalizations and prove analogues of the classical results of Arzelà, Dini and others

    TCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Campus Curitibanos. Medicina Veterinária.A anestesiologia é uma área da medicina veterinária que vem crescendo cada vez mais e aperfeiçoando suas técnicas, e para isso se busca conhecimento farmacológico a respeito das medicações utilizadas para a anestesia e analgesia. O protocolo anestésico deve ser escolhido individualmente com base na classificação do paciente, de acordo com os seus riscos anestésicos e de acordo com o procedimento que irá ser realizado, buscando a analgesia ideal. Como forma de tranquilização, sedação e relaxamento, realiza-se a medicação pré-anestésica, que, além disso, busca reduzir requerimento anestésico a fim de diminuir também os efeitos colaterais de uma anestesia geral. É de extrema importância uma avaliação pré-anestésica de todos os pacientes, saber reconhecer os riscos anestésicos e estar preparado para corrigir quaisquer intercorrências durante a anestesia. Devido a isso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo abordar sobre duas condutas anestésicas em dois procedimentos diferentes, através de relatos de caso discutidos com a literatura disponível atual. São elas: Conduta anestésica em uma cadela submetida à correção de persistência do ducto arterioso e conduta anestésica em uma felina persa submetida à rinoplastia.Anesthesiology is a Field of veterinary medicine that hás been increasingly growing and improving its techniques. Thus, pharmacological knowledge is sought regarding medications used for anesthesia and analgesia. The anesthetic protocol must be individually selected based on the patient's classification according to their anesthetic risks and the procedure to be performed, seeking the ideal analgesia. As a way of tranquilization, sedation and relaxation, the pre-anesthetic medication is performed into which, in addition, seeks to reduce the anesthetic requirement in order to also reduce the side effects of a general anesthesia. A pre-anesthetic evaluation of all patients is extremely important to learn how to recognize the anesthetic risks and be ready to correct any intercurrences during the anesthesia. Consequently, the present work aims to approach two anesthetic conducts in two different procedures, through case reports discussed within the current available literature. They are: anesthetic conduct in a female dog submitted to correction of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and anesthetic conduct in a Persian cat submitted to rhinoplasty

Durante esse período de estágio, a estagiária teve a oportunidade de acompanhar a rotina de dois locais em áreas distintas. Um foi realizado na área de Anestesiologia Veterinária, no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba/PR. O outro foi realizado na área de Clínica Médica de Pequenos Animais, na Clínica Veterinária Vettis, na cidade de Florianópolis/SC. O relatório em questão tem como intuito apresentar o local de estágio e o seu funcionamento, bem como as atividades desenvolvidas e a casuística.The mandatory course internship is essential for the completion of school life, and extremely important to develop knowledge within fields of interest. At the internship, the student had the opportunity to follow the routine of two places in different fields. One was held in veterinaryanesthesiology, at HV-UFPR (the veterinary hospital of Universidade Federal do Paraná) in the city of Curitiba, PR. The other was carried out in small animals clinics at Clínica Veterinária Vettis, in the city of Florianópolis, SC.

    Central Diabetes Insipidus in a Young Feline

    Background: Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is an endocrine disorder caused by the failure to produce, transport, or release ADH. This disease may show a primary etiology (idiopathic or congenital) or a secondary one (trauma or neoplasms). It is characterized by signs such as polyuria and polydipsia. The definitive diagnosis is obtained by the two-step water deprivation test; the absence of adequate urinary concentration in the first stage confirms the diagnosis of diabetes insipidus and, in the second stage, the response to the application of synthetic desmopressin confirms a central origin. Because CDI is rare in felines, the aim of this study was to report the occurrence of a case of CDI, probably of congenital primary origin, in an 8-month-old kitten.Case: An 8-month-old male feline, castrated, 3.2 kg, was brought to consultation with a report of polydipsia, polyuria, smaller size and weight, and lower activity when compared to his brother, for several months. On physical examination, lethargy, body score 2/5, and mild dehydration were noted, as well as deciduous teeth that should have already been replaced. Abdominal ultrasound and laboratory tests were requested, which ruled out chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus (DM), hyperadrenocorticism (HAC), and hyperthyroidism. Due to the fact that urinalysis evidenced hyposthenuria (urinary density [UD] 1.004), CDI was suspected. The patient underwent a water  deprivation test and, after 7.5 h, lost 4.7% of his initial weight, while UD was 1.012, confirming the diagnosis of DI. The investigation then proceeded to the evaluation of the response to synthetic desmopressin by the application of 5 U IM. Two h later, UD was 1.019, confirming the diagnosis of CDI. The prescribed treatment was oral desmopressin at a dose of 100 μg BID. Upon return after 30 days, the feline had gained weight, was well hydrated, and the tutor reported higher activity. A new urinalysis showed a UD of 1.004 and inactive sediment. The tutor was asked to start administering the drug three times a day. However, noting that the patient’s quality of life had significantly improved, and wishing to spare the animal from the stress of taking medication once more a day, she chose not to modify the therapy and not to perform additional tests, due to financial limitation.Discussion: First, CKD, DM, HAC, and hyperthyroidism, more common conditions, were ruled out, and the investigation then proceeded to a water deprivation test. The feline lost 3% to 5% of the initial weight and UD was on the borderlinebetween hypo- and isosthenuria, as described in the literature for the diagnosis of DI. In the second stage of the test, slight urinary concentration was observed after the application of synthetic desmopressin, which confirmed the diagnosis of CDI. The dose of desmopressin prescribed for home treatment, 100 μg BID, was effective to relieve the clinical signs, but urine remained in hyposthenuria in the interval between administrations, suggesting that, for this patient, treatment would be more effective by administering the medication three times a day, in order to maintain an adequate serum concentration. Due to the diagnosis of CDI and the feline being young, the condition’s primary origin is believed to be congenital. It is also suspected that the patient may still have congenital hypothyroidism, due to the clinical signs of late tooth exchange and constant lethargy, in addition to laboratory results of thyroid hormones below reference levels. However, because thyroid tests were made by chemiluminescence, a repetition by radioimmunoassay is indicated. If hypothyroidism is confirmed,it would be possible to assume a common etiological factor between CDI and hypothyroidism, such as hypothalamicpituitary malformation
