“…Esta realidade da Mesorregião Centro-Ocidental do Rio Grande do Sul pode ser comprovada pelo fato de pouco mais de 5% dos animais remetidos para necropsia sejam da espécie suína e as principais doenças diagnosticadas reflitam o modo de criação. Para se determinar a causa da morte ou razão para eutanásia de um animal, independente da espécie, é imprescindível que o cadáver esteja em bom estado de conservação (Coelho 2002, Guillamón & Jalón 2010. A falta de conservação do material foi motivo de inconclusão em quase 11% dos casos revisados.…”

RESUMO.-Visando-se determinar as características e frequência das doenças na população suína na região de abrangência do Laboratório de Patologia Veterinária (LPV) da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo de todos os diagnósticos de necropsias realizadas nesta espécie no período de 1964 a 2011. Foram separados 564 casos com diagnósticos conclusivos. A criação suína na região de abrangência do estudo é predominantemente familiar e as doenças diagnosticadas, refletem esta realidade. As doenças infecciosas e parasitá-rias foram as mais prevalentes [380(68,1%) was carried out in order to determine the characteristics and frequency of diseases in the swine population raised in the region the region covered by the activities of LPV. Five hundred and four cases with conclusive diagnosis were found. The type of pig-raising in the area is mainly a familiar enterprise and the diseases found in this survey reflect this reality Infectious and parasitic diseases were the most prevalent [380(68.1%)], followed, in descending order of frequency, by nutritional and metabolic diseases [64(11.5%)], poisonings and toxi-infections and development disorders [15(2.7%)]. Other disorders due to varying etiologies, especially trauma, were cause of death in just over 11% of the cases. Bacterial diseases were responsible for more than half of the causes of death in pigs of the studied population, pointing to the influence of management, environmental and nutritional regional husbandry. The moist frequent disease diagnosed in pigs in the region in the region covered by the study was edema disease which along with other forms of infection by Escherichia coli was responsible for 23% of deaths. Viral diseases and neoplasm were not major causes of death in pigs in the region studied. Nutritional hepatosis and aflatoxicosis are important diseases in pigs in this region and and there causation are mainly linked to nutritional management.INDEX TERMS: Swine diseases, veterinary pathology, epidemiology, causes of death, retrospective study.

“…In the present study, 11.11% of the cases presented a process of autolysis that made diagnosis impossible, a fact attributed to the time of arrival of the cadaver to the laboratory, which in free-living wild animals is longer, since most of these animals are found randomly in the environment hours after death, and the inadequate conditions of preservation of the body leads to rapid tissue destruction by the action of proteolytic enzymes produced during cadaveric decomposition. These alterations may mask the real lesions and induce mistaken interpretations, which makes diagnosis difficult or impossible (Coelho 2002). Thus, it is recommended to perform the necropsy soon after the death of the animal, so that all changes are preserved and the diagnosis of the cause of death is reached.…”

Anatomopathological findings of Testudines necropsied in the Distrito Federal, Brazil

et al. 2022

In order to determine the main anatomopathological findings of Testudines necropsied in the Distrito Federal, all necropsy records performed at the “Laboratório de Patologia Veterinária” of the “Universidade de Brasília” (LPV-UnB) on Testudines during the period from January 2008 to July 2020 were reviewed. The 72 cases reviewed were grouped and classified according to species, sex, origin, season of occurrence, and diagnosis. In 69.44% of the cases the species was informed in the necropsy protocols, which included Phrynops geoffroanus (38%), Trachemys dorbigni (36%), Chelonoidis carbonaria (14%), Chelonoidis denticulata (10%) and Podocnemis expansa (2%). In 30.55% of the cases this parameter was not informed and were classified only as Testudines. In 41.66% of the cases the sex was informed, being female 22.22%, male 19.44%, and 58.33% were not informed. Of these animals 79.16% were from environmental agencies and 20.84% from zoos and/or guardians. In 70.83% of the animals analyzed they were directly related to the autumn and winter seasons, with June being the most frequent month (29.17%). The conclusive diagnosis was possible in 68.05% of the cases. The category of disorders caused by injurious agents (48.97%) was the most prevalent, followed by inflammatory disorders (32.65%) and nutritional and metabolic disorders (28.57%). The main diagnoses were carapace and/or plastron fracture with 30.61%, hepatic steatosis (20.40%) and pneumonia (10.22%). Most cases of carapace or plastron fracture and hepatic steatosis occurred in animals from environmental agencies.

“…Many case reports have found that the EEG patterns in patients with CIE included rhythmic triphasic waves that were nonreactive to stimulation, 5,6,12,13 nonconvulsive status epilepticus with generalized spikes, and slow-wave or sharp and slow-wave activity. 6,14 Johnson et al 15 reported a case having normal renal function with CIE showing stimulus-induced rhythmic, periodic, or ictal discharges (SIRPIDs). However, our patients with CIE did not show SIRPIDs.…”

Cefepime-Induced Encephalopathy in a Tertiary Medical Center in Korea

Cefepime is a widely used fourth-generation cephalosporin. It is commonly used as a first-line antibiotic to treat various infectious diseases such as neutropenic fever, urinary tract infections, hospital-acquired pneumonia, bacterial meningitis, and skin, intra-abdominal, and gynecological infections. 1 The clinical features of cefepime-induced encephalopathy (CIE) are confusion, agitation, myoclonic jerks, epileptic seizures, coma, and convulsive status epilepticus. 2 CIE was recently classified as a type-1 antibiotic-associated encephalopathy (AAE). 3 In type-1 AAE, seizures are observed more frequently than in psychosis. Predisposing factors for CIE include a high cefepime dosage, reduced drug renal clearance, and older age. 4-6 The reported incidence of CIE has ranged from 0.2% to 7.0%. 2,7-9 Appa et al. 2 reported an incidence at their center of 1 (0.2%) in 480 courses of cefepime. Naeije et al. 7 reported

Cefepime-induced encephalopathy in patient without renal failure

Abstract: This case report describes neurotoxicity in an older patient on cefepime 2 g twice a day. The 81-year-old male patient developed non-convulsive status epilepticus during cefepime treatment with 1 g twice a day. There was recovery 30 days after discontinuation of cefepime.
