Efeitos da corticoterapia materna nos valores hemogasométricos de cordeiros nascidos a termo e prematuros

Pesqui. vet. bras; 37 (5), 2017
O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar as variáveis hemogasométricas de cordeiros nascidos a termo e prematuros do nascimento às 48 horas de vida. Foram constituídos quatros grupos experimentais: PN (cordeiros nascidos de parto normal, n=15, média de 146 dias de gestação); PNDEX (cordeiros nascidos de p...

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 67 (2), 2017
Abstract Objectives: The increase in the prevalence of obesity presents a significant health and economic problem. Obesity has been reported to be a major contributor to variety of chronic diseases. Childhood obesity has been rising over the past decades leading to various complications in health. Milli...

Effects of hyperbaric oxygen and nerve growth factor on the long-term neural behavior of neonatal rats with hypoxic ischemic brain damage

Acta cir. bras; 32 (4), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effects of HBO (Hyperbaric oxygen) and NGF (Nerve growth factor) on the long-term neural behavior of neonatal rats with HIBD (Neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain damage). Methods: The HIBD model was produced by ligating the right common carotid artery of 7 days old SD (Spr...

Comparative analysis of two different models of swimming applied to pregnant rats born small for pregnant age

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare two models of swimming applied to pregnant rats born small for pregnancy age (SPA). Diabetes was chemically induced in adult female rats to develop an inadequate intrauterine environment, leading to birth of a SPA offspring. In adulthood, the female SPA rats ...

Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis rat model attenuated by a remote ischemic preconditioning in the pregnant

Acta cir. bras; 32 (3), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (r-IPC) administered to pregnant rats, in the ileum of newborn rats subjected to hypoxia and reoxygenation. Methods: We used three pregnant rats and their newborn rats distributed in three groups: 1) Control (C) - Newborn rats ...

Congenital multiple arthrogryposis in bovine

This report describes an anal atresia, anatomical urethra alteration (slightly caudal to the udder), thickened joints, and changes in the pelvis in a newborn Holstein cow. Visualization of the final portion of the rectum was not possible by perineal access and laparotomy through the right flank was perfo...

Avaliação hematológica e hemogasométrica de potros nascidos de éguas com placentite ascendente

A placentite é a principal causa de partos prematuros, aborto e nascimento de potros comprometidos, podendo causar hipóxia e septicemia. A hematologia e a gasometria venosa fornecem informações importantes para o monitoramento da saúde de potros nascidos de éguas com placentite. O objetivo deste tr...

MicroRNA-122 regulates caspase-8 and promotes the apoptosis of mouse cardiomyocytes

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (2), 2017
Cardiomyocyte apoptosis plays key roles in the pathogenesis of heart diseases such as myocardial infarction. MicroRNAs are important regulators of gene expression, which are also involved in the regulation of cardiomyocyte apoptosis. However, cardiomyocyte apoptosis regulated by microRNA (miR)-122 is lar...

Duodenal-jejunal bypass normalizes pancreatic islet proliferation rate and function but not hepatic steatosis in hypothalamic obese rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (5), 2017
Modifications in life-style and/or pharmacotherapies contribute to weight loss and ameliorate the metabolic profile of diet-induced obese humans and rodents. Since these strategies fail to treat hypothalamic obesity, we have assessed the possible mechanisms by which duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery ...
