CORPO ESTRANHO ESÔFAGO-GÁSTRICO EM UM CANINO

The ingestion of foreign bodies (FB) is recurrent in the clinical-surgical routine of dogs and cats. These are defined as inanimate objects that cannot be digested or are digested more slowly, obstructing the gastrointestinal tract to varying degrees. In dogs, the most commonly observed FBs include bones, plastics, stones, coins, fabrics, threads, sticks, fruit seeds, balls, small toys, and metallic objects such as needles and hooks. After ingesting a FB, the symptoms presented vary according to the degree of obstruction, the duration of the object’s presence, and whether there is any perforation. The animal's history, the radiography, the ultrasound, and the endoscopy contribute to the diagnosis of the condition. Such objects can be removed by endoscopy or surgical approach via esophagotomy, gastrotomy, or enterotomy, taking into account the obstruction site and the shape of the FB. Thus, this study aimed to report a case of ingestion of a bony foreign body, in a four-month-old male canine, submitted to surgical removal via gastrotomy, emphasizing the diagnostic method and the clinical-surgical approach used to treat the condition. The patient's clinical evolution was satisfactory due to the rapid diagnosis and assertive management, as well as the absence of complications, such as esophageal or gastric perforation.A ingestão de corpos estranhos (CE) é recorrente na rotina clínico-cirúrgica de cães e gatos. São definidos como objetos inanimados, que não podem ser digeridos ou que são digeridos mais lentamente, obstruindo o trato gastrointestinal em diferentes graus. Nos cães, os CE mais observados são: ossos, plásticos, pedras, moedas, tecidos, linhas, gravetos, caroço de frutas, bolas, brinquedos pequenos e objetos metálicos como agulhas e anzóis. Após a ingestão de um CE, a sintomatologia apresentada varia de acordo com o grau de obstrução, tempo de permanência do objeto e se há presença de perfuração. O histórico do animal, a radiografia, a ultrassonografia e a endoscopia contribuem para o diagnóstico da afecção. Tais objetos, podem ser removidos por endoscopia ou pela abordagem cirúrgica via esofagotomia, gastrotomia ou enterotomia, tendo em vista o local de obstrução e o formato do CE. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar um caso de ingestão de corpo estranho ósseo, em um canino macho de quatro meses de idade, submetido à remoção cirúrgica via gastrotomia, enfatizando o meio diagnóstico e a conduta clínico-cirúrgica empregada para o tratamento da afecção. A evolução clínica do paciente foi satisfatória, em virtude do rápido diagnóstico e conduta assertiva, bem como a ausência de complicações, como a perfuração esofágica ou gástrica

An Integrative Approach to the Flavonoid Profile in Some Plants’ Parts of the Annona Genus

The Annonaceae family is widely distributed in subtropical and tropical regions. Several species of this family are known for their pharmacological and beneficial properties to human health, mainly attributed to flavonoids. The objective of this work was to carry out an integrative review in order to identify the main flavonoids found in some plant parts belonging to the Annona genus: araticum tree (Annona crassiflora Mart.), graviola tree (Annona muricata), atemoya tree (Annona cherimolia Mill × Annona squamosa L.), pinha tree (Annona squamosa), bananinha tree (Annona leptopetala), and marolinho tree (Annona coriacea). Only articles published between the years 2016 to 2021 that answered the guiding question were considered, in order to obtain recent data. Then, search strategies were designated for each database used: Science Direct, CAPES Periodicals, and Scielo. Most of the studies retrieved from the databases are related to fruits. The results showed that the number of flavonoids identified varies according to the analytical methodology used to identify and quantify the compounds. Quercetin was the most commonly found compound in all fruits of the Annona genus studied, and epicatechin, rutin, and kaempferol were also found to a lesser extent. The presence of these compounds in Annona makes the fruit promising, with potential applicability in the pharmaceutical and food industry

Organizational factors associated with adherence to low tidal volume ventilation: a secondary analysis of the CHECKLIST-ICU database

Background: Survival benefit from low tidal volume (VT) ventilation (LTVV) has been demonstrated for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and patients not having ARDS could also benefit from this strategy. Organizational factors may play a role on adherence to LTVV. The present study aimed to identify organizational factors with an independent association with adherence to LTVV. Methods: Secondary analysis of the database of a multicenter two-phase study (prospective cohort followed by a cluster-randomized trial) performed in 118 Brazilian intensive care units. Patients under mechanical ventilation at day 2 were included. LTVV was defined as a VT ≤ 8 ml/kg PBW on the second day of ventilation. Data on the type and number of beds of the hospital, teaching status, nursing, respiratory therapists and physician staffing, use of structured checklist, and presence of protocols were tested. A multivariable mixed-effect model was used to assess the association between organizational factors and adherence to LTVV. Results: The study included 5719 patients; 3340 (58%) patients received LTVV. A greater number of hospital beds (absolute difference 7.43% [95% confidence interval 0.61–14.24%]; p = 0.038), use of structured checklist during multidisciplinary rounds (5.10% [0.55–9.81%]; p = 0.030), and presence of at least one nurse per 10 patients during all shifts (17.24% [0.85–33.60%]; p = 0.045) were the only three factors that had an independent association with adherence to LTVV. Conclusions: Number of hospital beds, use of a structured checklist during multidisciplinary rounds, and nurse staffing are organizational factors associated with adherence to LTVV. These findings shed light on organizational factors that may improve ventilation in critically ill patients

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.
