RESUMO. Os atropelamentos de animais silvestres têm recebido especial atenção dos pesquisadores nos últimos anos por se tratar da causa primária de morte em estradas. Contudo, estudos que abordem o tema ainda são escassos e, geralmente, tratam apenas de mamíferos. Diante disso, este estudo teve o objetivo de monitorar a mortalidade de animais silvestres por atropelamentos no trecho Campina Grande -Patos da BR-230 entre novembro de 2010 e novembro de 2011. Foram realizadas viagens mensais com duração média de 2h, percorrendo-se o trecho de carro. Foi comparado o número de atropelamentos no período seco e chuvoso, geral e por grupo. Os animais atropelados foram identificados até o menor nível taxonômico possível, descartando-se os animais domésticos. Foram registrados 188 espécimes de vertebrados atropelados, sendo Mammalia o mais amostrado (n=108; 57,4%). A espécie mais representativa foi Cerdocyon thous (n=87; 46,5%). O maior número de atropelamentos ocorreu no período seco. Quando comparado por grupo, porém, aves e répteis apresentaram um maior número de atropelamentos durante o período chuvoso. Cerdocyon thous, apresentou taxas de atropelamento maiores que em outros levantamentos realizados no Brasil (87 indivíduos, 46,5%), o que parece ser uma realidade local. Dentre os répteis atropelados, 70% corresponderam a espécies de serpentes, que pode estar relacionado ao deslocamento lento e necessidade de termorregulação desses animais e pelo fato de serem considerados "animais perigosos", levando ao extermínio intencional.

The trampling of wild animals have received special attention from researchers in recent years because it is the primary cause of death on roads. However, studies that address the topic are still scarce and generally deal only with mammals. Therefore, this study aimed to monitor the mortality of wild animals by trampling between Campina Grande and Patos in the BR-230 highway from November 2010 to November 2011. Were made monthly trips lasting 2 hours traveled by car. We compared the number of trampling in the dry and rainy period. The animals killed on roads were identified to lowest possible taxonomic level, discarding pets. We recorded 188 specimens of vertebrates' trampling, and the most sampled were mammals (n=108, 57.4%). The most
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) are small primates belonging to the family Cebidae, subfamily Callitrichinae and are the most well-known and common in adaptation to captivity. The scarcity of data in the literature on the anatomy of these marmosets and wild animals hinders the application of appropriate anesthetic and surgical procedures and therapeutics. In order to understand the anatomic variations in the lobation and bronchopulmonary segmentation the lungs were dissected from nine adult common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) corpses, five males and four females. In the marmosets, the right lung presented cranial lobe, middle lobe, caudal lobe and accessory lobe while the left lung presented cranial and caudal lobes. The fissures were very pro-eminent in both the lungs. The main right bronchus emitted independent branches, one for each lobe, and it followed in a straight line in the caudal lobe as a continuation of this bronchus and the same was observed in the main left bronchus. The bronchopulmonary segmentation in the right lung ranged from one to five branches in the cranial lobe; the middle lobe had a single branch; the caudal lobe had three to five branches and the accessory lobe had three branches. In the left lung the cranial lobe bronchopulmonary segmentation ranged from one to five branches while in the caudal lobe it was three to four branches.
Black-striped capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) are diurnal omnivores found on the American continent and have the widest geographic distribution of the neotropical primates. 1 Constant deforestation means that these animals migrate to urban centers, becoming targets of predatory hunting and leading to a significant number of specimens in captivity.So that the veterinary physician can intervene efficaciously in the health of these animals, in addition to clinical knowledge, the choice of the chemical immobilization method of the animal, anesthesia and the anesthetic administration route is fundamental to the success of the procedures. 2The association of tiletamine-zolazepam (TZ) has been widely used in wild and exotic animals because it requires a small injection volume, is well absorbed intramuscularly, and has a wide safety margin and permits immobilization to anesthesia with minimum cardiopulmonary effect. 3,4 For most species, 2-5 mg/kg are sufficient to promote anesthesia for minimal procedures, but smaller species require a bigger dose. 2 However, the use of this association is still controversial in some species due to a lack of studies. AbstractBackground: Tiletamine-zolazepam is a widely used as an alternative chemical immobilization method in non-human primates, with a safe application pathway and necessary relaxation. In order to determine the electrocardiographic parameters of Sapajus libidinosus after intramuscular tiletamine-zolazepam administration at the dose of 5 mg/kg, nine animals were submitted to anesthesia. Methods:The interpretation of the electrocardiogram determined: heart rate in bpm and heart rhythm, P wave, P-R interval, R wave, QRS complex, T wave, Q-T interval, corrected QT interval and electrical axis. The mean HR was 206 ± 32 bpm. Results:The majority of the monkeys showed normal sinus rhythm, but one animal showed sinus tachycardia. The most commonly observed electrical axis was between +30° and +90°. Two animals presented bigger alterations in the tracing such as low amplitude QRS and T wave bigger than 1/4 of the R wave. Conclusions:The administration of tiletamine-zolazepam was safe and efficacious, with minimal cardiovascular effects. K E Y W O R D Sanesthesia, electrocardiogram, primate | 155 de LA SALLeS et AL.
RESUMO.A utilização de técnicas modernas para aplicação na área da reprodução cresce cada vez mais na medicina veterinária e com isso se fazem necessários estudos que avaliem a eficiência destas técnicas. Devido à localização cortical dos folículos dentro do ovário, a técnica mais adequada para obtenção dos oócitos caninos é o Slicing, o qual apresenta melhores resultados em relação a quantidade de oócitos coletados quando comparado com outras técnicas. Buscou-se com este estudo, verificar a qualidade dos oócitos coletados em ovários de cadelas e gatas com diferentes idades que foram submetidas à procedimento de Ovário Salpingo Histerectomia (OSH) no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande. Os oócitos foram classificados quanto a sua qualidade com relação a morfologia do complexo cumulus oophorus. A idade e a fase estral em que as cadelas e gatas se encontravam no momento da coleta não influenciou na qualidade e quantidade dos oócitos coletados.Palavras chave: cadelas, gatas, reprodução, slicing Obtaining oocytes in puppies and cats submitted to salpingooophorectomyABSTRACT. The use of modern techniques for application in the field of reproduction grows more and more in veterinary medicine and therefore studies are needed to evaluate the efficiency of these techniques. Due to the cortical location of the follicles within the ovary, Slicing is the most adequate technique to obtain canine oocytes, which presents better results in relation to the amount of oocytes collected when compared to other techniques. The aim of this study was to verify the quality of oocytes collected from ovaries of bitches and cats with different ages submitted to the Salpingo Ovary Hysterectomy (OSH) procedure at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Campina Grande. The oocytes were classified according to their quality in relation to the morphology of the cumulus oophorus complex. The age and estrus stage in which bitches and cats were at the time of collection did not influence the quality and quantity of oocytes collected.
RESUMO.As aves da ordem Psittaciformes estão entre as mais criadas como pet, o que consequentemente aumenta a procura por atendimento médico veterinário especializado em aves e, para tal, o estudo e conhecimento da anatomia destes animais se torna essencial. De outra forma, a morfologia craniana é fundamental na identificação de espécie de animais com características morfológicas externas semelhantes. Buscou-se obter dados referentes ao crânio de Diopsittaca nobilis, para contribuir com o conhecimento anatômico desta espécie. O presente estudo foi realizado com 3 crânios de Diopsittaca nobilis, que foram preparados através de dissecação e maceração controlada com água. Apesar do processo natural de fusão, puderam ser identificados ossos e estruturas do crânio com suas particularidades. Realizou-se também mensurações dos crânios, onde a média da largura máxima do crânio foi de 28,70mm e do comprimento do crânio sem a ranfoteca foi de 36,16mm. Os dados obtidos contribuem para a melhor caracterização da espécie.Palavras chave: Anatomia, psittacidae, crânio Anatomical and morphometric aspects of the Diopsittaca nobilis Linnaeus, 1758ABSTRACT. The birds of the order Psittaciformes are among the most created as pet, which consequently increases the demand for specialized veterinary care in birds and, for this, the study and knowledge of the anatomy of these animals becomes essential. Otherwise, cranial morphology is fundamental in the identification of species of animals with similar external morphological characteristics. We sought to obtain data regarding the skull of Diopsittaca nobilis, to contribute with the anatomical knowledge of this species. The present study was performed with 3 skulls of Diopsittaca nobilis, which were prepared by dissection and controlled maceration with water. Despite the natural process of fusion, bones and structures of the skull could be identified with their particularities. Measurements were also made of the skulls, where the mean maximum width of the skull was 28.70mm and the length of the skull without the ranogram was 36.16mm. The data obtained contribute to the better characterization of the species.
Background The aim of study was to evaluate the efficacy of the supraclavicular brachial plexus block technique in Sapajus libidinosus. Methods Were used eight animals, which were sedated, anesthetized, kept under hypnosis, and submitted to plexus block using a neurolocalizer. The physiological parameters, the nociception and response threshold (mA), were evaluated before and after the block. The response to electrical stimulation and cutaneous sensitivity were evaluated. The groups were compared by the Tukey or Friedman test at 5%. Results The technique promoted blockage of the plexus, and movement of the thoracic limb in response to electrical stimulation decreased after 10 minutes. The applied milliampere increased after 5 minutes. The cutaneous sensitivity reflex decreased. The average time of return of spontaneous limb movement exceeded 50 minutes. Conclusions The use of 5mg/kg of lidocaine 2% promoted loss of cutaneous sensitivity and limb muscle relaxation during the evaluation period.

RESUMO.A doença do disco intervertebral (DDIV) é a causa mais comum de compressão medular em cães, resultando em problemas neurológicos, podendo ser classificada em dois tipos, Hansen tipo I (extrusão de disco) e Hansen tipo II (protrusão de disco), que pressionam os nervos da medula ocasionando quadro de dor, ataxia, paralisia e paraplegia. O tratamento à se indicar deve ser baseado no grau da lesão, podendo ser o tratamento clínico associado à fisioterapia, para casos menos graves, visto que é relatado sucessos na recuperação do quadro, na literatura. O objetivo desse trabalho foi relatar a eficiência da tomografia computadorizada como ferramenta complementar para diagnostico conclusivo da DDIV e o sucesso do tratamento clínico e fisioterápico para esta doença. O animal em questão era um poodle com 11 anos de idade que apresentava quadro de ataxia e falta de coordenação motora e que foi diagnosticado com uma extrusão de disco intervertebral entre as vertebras T12 e T13 pela tomografia computadorizada. O tratamento eleito foi à base de anti-inflamatórios e fisioterapia com enfoque o fortalecimento da musculatura epaxial e hipaxial. Transcorrido 45 dias do início do tratamento, foi observado uma melhora significativa do animal, entretanto, uma futura intervenção cirúrgica não foi descartada.Palavras chave: ataxia, compressão medular, fisioterapia, Hansen. Diagnosis by computed tomography of the intervertebral disc extrusion in a geriatric patient: Case reportABSTRACT. Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is the most common cause of spinal cord compression in dogs, resulting in neurological problems, which can be classified into two types: Hansen type I (disc extrusion) and Hansen type II (disc protrusion), pressing the nerves of the marrow causing pain, ataxia, paralysis and paraplegia. The indicated treatment should be based on the degree of injury, and may be the clinical treatment associated with physical therapy, for less severe cases, based on the successes in the recovery of the condition, reported in the literature. The objective of this study was to report the efficiency of computed tomography as a complementary tool for conclusive diagnosis of DDIV and the success of clinical and physiotherapeutic treatment for this disease. The animal in question was an 11-year-old poodle that presented ataxia and motor
