A epilepsia é uma afecção neurológica em que o paciente apresenta convulsões de diferentes intensidades. A fisiopatogenia é complexa e está associada à descarga elétrica cerebral desordenada que pode acometer diferentes regiões do cérebro, comprometimento a consciência; as funções motoras, mentais e sensoriais. Visto que as intensidades das convulsões em um cão com epilepsia são variáveis, e podendo ser necessário o seu internamento, objetivou-se realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o manejo do paciente epiléptico canino no intensivismo, por meio de pesquisas qualitativas e descritivas bibliográficas nas bases de dados PubMed/Medline, Embase Scielo e Google Schoolar. Concluiu-se que as convulsões de origem epiléptica no paciente canino estão associadas aos distúrbios neurológicos, e o diagnóstico e tratamento precoce é necessário para que o prognóstico seja favorável. Paralelamente, cães com crises convulsivas intensas e recorrentes devem ser internados e monitorados devido aos distúrbios metabólicos que podem induzir a isquemia cerebral e morte neural, e assim causar danos cerebrais irreversíveis ou óbito.
It was aimed to compare semen and ions concentrations in the prostatic fluid of German Shepherd and Rottweiler dogs. Five semen collections of each dog (5 / breed) were accomplished and the following parameters assessed: total motility, vigor, concentration, percentage of sperm alive and normal morphology, as well as pH, cellular distribution and concentrations of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium were evaluated in prostatic fluid. Rottweiler dogs presented higher motility, concentration, percentage of alive Sperm and normal morphology than GS dogs. However, these dogs demonstrated higher levels of calcium in prostatic fluid. Differences were not observed concerning sperm vigor, phosphorus and magnesium concentrations, pH or the cellular distribution in prostatic fluid. It was concluded that Rottweiler dogs present better semen quality than German Shepherd dogs and a smaller liberation of calcium in prostatic fluid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
