Bloqueios locorregionais para correção de fenda palatina em potro: Relato de caso

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever o caso de um potro da raça Quarto de Milha, com 9 meses de idade e pesando 166 kg, atendido pelo setor de clínica médica e cirúrgica de grandes animais do Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal do Paraná para correção de uma fenda palatina. Como medicação pré-anestésica, fez-se o uso de xilazina 0,5 mg/kg. Posteriormente, a indução foi realizada com propofol 1mg/kg e cetamina 1 mg/kg. Para manutenção anestésica, optou-se pela utilização de isoflurano, lidocaína (3 mg/kg/h), cetamina (0,6 mg/kg/h) e dexmedetomidina (1 ug/kg/h). A analgesia transoperatória foi somada com a realização de bloqueios locorregionais, sendo executados por referências anatômicas os bloqueios dos nervos maxilar, mentual e alveolar inferior com lidocaína e bupivacaína, utilizando 3 ml por ponto. Dentre os parâmetros fisiológicos monitorados, destaca-se a frequência cardíaca, pressão arterial sistólica, pressão arterial média e pressão arterial diastólica, as quais mantiveram-se estáveis durante todo o período anestésico. Por fim, a técnica de bloqueio dos nervos maxilar, mentual e alveolar inferior mostraram-se alternativas viáveis para o procedimento proposto, uma vez que foram inexistentes as alterações paramétricas de nocicepção no transoperatório

Identification of six new susceptibility loci for invasive epithelial ovarian cancer.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 12 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) susceptibility alleles. The pattern of association at these loci is consistent in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers who are at high risk of EOC. After imputation to 1000 Genomes Project data, we assessed associations of 11 million genetic variants with EOC risk from 15,437 cases unselected for family history and 30,845 controls and from 15,252 BRCA1 mutation carriers and 8,211 BRCA2 mutation carriers (3,096 with ovarian cancer), and we combined the results in a meta-analysis. This new study design yielded increased statistical power, leading to the discovery of six new EOC susceptibility loci. Variants at 1p36 (nearest gene, WNT4), 4q26 (SYNPO2), 9q34.2 (ABO) and 17q11.2 (ATAD5) were associated with EOC risk, and at 1p34.3 (RSPO1) and 6p22.1 (GPX6) variants were specifically associated with the serous EOC subtype, all with P < 5 × 10(-8). Incorporating these variants into risk assessment tools will improve clinical risk predictions for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.COGS project is funded through a European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme grant (agreement number 223175 ] HEALTH ]F2 ]2009 ]223175).

No clinical utility of KRAS variant rs61764370 for ovarian or breast cancer

Objective. Clinical genetic testing is commercially available for rs61764370, an inherited variant residing in a KRAS 3' UTR microRNA binding site, based on suggested associations with increased ovarian and breast cancer risk as well as with survival time. However, prior studies, emphasizing particular subgroups, were relatively small. Therefore, we comprehensively evaluated ovarian and breast cancer risks as well as clinical outcome associated with rs61764370. Methods. Centralized genotyping and analysis were performed for 140,012 women enrolled in the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (15,357 ovarian cancer patients; 30,816 controls), the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (33,530 breast cancer patients; 37,640 controls), and the Consortium of Modifiers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 (14,765 BRCA1 and 7904 BRCA2 mutation carriers). Results. We found no association with risk of ovarian cancer (OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.94-1.04, p = 0.74) or breast cancer (OR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.94-1.01, p = 0.19) and results were consistent among mutation carriers (BRCA1, ovarian cancer HR = 1.09, 95% CI 0.97-1.23, p = 0.14, breast cancer HR = 1.04, 95% CI 0.97-1.12, p = 0.27; BRCA2, ovarian cancer HR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.71-1.13, p = 034, breast cancer HR = 1.06, 95% CI 0.94-1.19, p = 0.35). Null results were also obtained for associations with overall survival following ovarian cancer (HR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.83-1.07, p = 0.38), breast cancer (HR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.87-1.06, p = 0.38), and all other previously-reported associations. Conclusions. rs61764370 is not associated with risk of ovarian or breast cancer nor with clinical outcome for patients with these cancers. Therefore, genotyping this variant has no clinical utility related to the prediction or management of these cancers. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Peer reviewe
