RESUMO

La fiebre Q es una zoonosis poco conocida de distribución global, con una incidencia de 3 casos por cada 100.000 habitantes/año. La principal fuente de contagio son las ovejas, bovinos y caprinos por inhalación de aerosoles de vísceras o materiales contaminados: estiércol, orina, lana, ropa. Un diagnóstico precoz es fundamental para una intervención eficaz, evitando complicaciones crónicas, aquí el papel del médico de atención primaria es clave para lograr este objetivo.(AU)


Q fever is a little-known globally distributed zoonosis, with an incidence of three cases per 100.000 inhabitants/year. The main source of contagion is sheep, cattle and goats by inhalation of aerosols from viscera or contaminated materials: manure, urine, wool or clothing. Early diagnosis is essential for an effective intervention. This avoids chronic complications. The role of the primary care provider is key to attaining this goal.(AU)

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: El diagnóstico de la hipoglucemia en hurones (Mustela putorius furo) se basa en la detección de un nivel de glucosa en la sangre inferior a 60- 70 mg / dl. Una concentración de glucosa en sangre por debajo de estos niveles es muy sugestiva de tumor de células beta pancreáticas (insulinoma), que comprende aproximadamente el 25% de todas las neoplasias diagnosticadas en esta especie. En este estudio se pretende comprobar si los bajos valores de glucosa en sangre obtenidos mediante el uso de glucómetros portátiles son fiables como método de diagnóstico de hipoglucemia en esta especie. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: En este estudio se analizan 31 muestras de sangre de hurones de distinta edad y sexo, mediante el uso de tres tipos de glucómetros portátiles, comparando dichos resultados con las medidas obtenidas mediante un analizador de bioquímica líquida que usa el método de la glucosa oxidasa, considerado como uno de los métodos estándar de medida. RESULTADOS: Uno de los tres glucómetros utilizado en este estudio subestima los valores de glucosa en sangre en esta especie, mientras que otro los sobreestima, lo que supone un error sistemático (predecible) de los equipos que se podría solucionar calibrándolos para esta especie. El otro glucómetro que presenta mayor concordancia con los valores de referencia presenta un error aleatorio elevado (impredecible) más difícil de corregir. Por tanto ninguno de los tres equipos sería adecuado para realizar un diagnóstico fiable de hipoglucemia en hurones. CONCLUSIONES: Estos resultados indican que las concentraciones de glucosa en sangre en hurones deben confirmarse con un analizador de laboratorio validado para realizar el diagnóstico de hipoglucemia de forma fiable, y los glucómetros usarse sólo para hacer un seguimiento de la enfermedad


AIMS: The diagnosis of hypoglycemia in ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) is based on the detection of a blood glucose level below 60-70 mg / dl. A blood glucose concentration below these levels is very suggestive of pancreatic beta cell tumor (insulinoma), which comprises of approximately 25% of all neoplasms diagnosed in this species. This study aims to check if the low blood glucose values obtained through the use of portable glucometers are reliable as a method of diagnosing hypoglycemia in this species. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, 31 samples of ferrets blood of different ages and sexes are analyzed, using three types of portable glucometers, comparing these results with the measurements obtained by a liquid biochemistry analyzer using the glucose oxidase method, considered as one of the standard measurement methods. RESULTS: One of the three glucometers used in this study underestimates blood glucose values in this species, while another overestimates them, which is a systematic error (predictable) of the equipment that could be solved by calibrating them for this species. The other glucometer is more consistent with the reference values, but has a high random error (unpredictable), that is more difficult to correct. Therefore none of the three teams would be adequate to make a reliable diagnosis of hypoglycemia in ferrets. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that blood glucose concentrations in ferrets should be confirmed with a validated laboratory analyzer to reliably diagnose hypoglycemia, and blood glucose meters used only to monitor the disease

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The role of the community pharmacist is rapidly expanding to encompass the care of veterinary patients in the United States of America This change makes it imperative for pharmacists and veterinarians who practice in community settings to establish mutual agreement on the roles of pharmacists in the care of these patients. OBJECTIVE: To examine community-based pharmacist and veterinarian viewpoints on interprofessional collaboration and the role of the community pharmacist in veterinary patient care. METHODS: Cross-sectional surveys were sent to pharmacists and veterinarians who practice in a community setting in Ohio. Surveys collected demographic information and addressed the following themes: attitudes toward collaboration, perceived roles of the pharmacist, expectations of the pharmacist, and previous collaborative experiences. A chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: In total, 357 pharmacists and 232 veterinarians participated in the study. Both professions agreed that pharmacist-veterinarian collaboration is important in order to optimize veterinary patient care (chi-square (1, N=589)=7.7, p = 0.006). Overall, veterinarians were more likely to identify an important role of the community pharmacist to be compounding medications (chi-square (1, N=589)=26.7, p < 0.001) compared to counseling pet owners (chi-square (1, N=589)=171.7, p < 0.001). Both groups reported similar levels of agreement regarding the importance for pharmacists to have adequate knowledge of veterinary medicine. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that while both pharmacists and veterinarians conveyed a positive attitude regarding interprofessional collaboration, they disagreed on what role the pharmacist should play in the care of veterinary patients. Rectifying the discordant perceptions of these health care professionals may be critical to developing collaborative initiatives and optimizing veterinary patient care

RESUMO

Research regarding zoonotic diseases often focuses on those diseases that are transferred from animals to humans. However, humans are also transmitting pathogens to animals but research on this topic is not given priority and importance. I have tried to draw the attention of researchers to this area also which is equally important. The aim of this letter was to provide a brief overview of published literature regarding reverse zoonoses or zooanthroponosis in the field of leishmaniasis and highlight the need for future work in this area. Scientific research must be conducted in the field of reverse zoonoses to provide an enriched understanding of emerging disease threats to animals and should not be neglected

RESUMO

Background: Pets, pet owners (referred to as clients in veterinary medicine and throughout this article), veterinarians, and community pharmacies may all benefit from veterinary compounding services provided in community pharmacies, but the benefits of this service are not well-documented in the literature. Objectives: This study identified perceived benefits and barriers and evaluated the need for veterinary compounding services in community pharmacies; it also evaluated current business practices related to veterinary compounding services. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to three groups: 1) clients who filled a pet prescription at a study pharmacy, 2) clients who had not filled pet prescriptions, and 3) local veterinarians. Eligible participants were 18 or older; clients must have owned a pet in the past five years. The surveys collected demographic information and assessed benefits, barriers, need, and business practices regarding veterinary compounding services. Demographics were evaluated through descriptive statistics. Responses to Likert-scale items were compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U test. Qualitative responses were assessed for emerging themes. Results: One hundred eighteen clients and 15 veterinarians participated in the study. Seventy-two of 116 clients (62%) and eight of 10 veterinarians (80%) agreed that clients would benefit from veterinary compounds provided in community pharmacies. Only 40% of veterinarians agreed that community pharmacists have the knowledge to compound pet medications, compared to 67% of clients (P=0.010). Similarly, 47% of veterinarians agreed that community pharmacists have the skills to compound pet medications, compared to 72% of clients (P=0.016). Forty-eight of 118 clients (41%) would travel 10 miles or more out of their way for veterinary compounding services at community pharmacies. Conclusions: This study assessed client and veterinarian perceptions of veterinary compounding service benefits, barriers, and need in community pharmacies. Clients identified more opportunities for veterinary compounding services in community pharmacies when compared to veterinarians. Both groups identified a need for veterinary compounding services and agreed community pharmacies providing these services would benefit pets and clients

RESUMO

La profesión veterinaria presenta mayor riesgo de infección frente a agentes patógenos de carácter zoonósico que la población general. Con el objetivo de valorar el impacto de las zoonosis, el presente trabajo revisa las encuestas publicadas sobre salud laboral en la profesión veterinaria. En dichas encuestas, el rango de profesionales que refieren haber padecido al menos una zoonosis oscila entre el 4% y el 64,3%, siendo la dermatofitosis la zoonosis comunicada con mayor frecuencia. Además, desde el punto de vista cualitativo, cabe destacar la comunicación de diferentes procesos de especial gravedad clínica, así como la existencia documentada de infecciones por agentes patógenos resistentes a los antimicrobianos. Dada la ausencia de estudios actualizados en España, se reflexiona sobre la necesidad de conocer los determinantes de salud asociados a las características del mercado laboral de la profesión en nuestro entorno. Los datos existentes sugieren que la consideración legal de enfermedad profesional para las zoonosis se encuentra infraestimada en nuestro país. Por todo ello, la realización de encuestas de salud laboral, la documentación y publicación de los casos, así como la revisión de los riesgos y el impacto de las zoonosis en la profesión veterinaria, pueden contribuir a la calificación y notificación de dichas enfermedades por parte de la administración sanitaria, al tiempo que suponen una herramienta fundamental en el ámbito de la prevención de riesgos laborales


The veterinary profession implies a greater risk of infection by zoonotic pathogens than the overall population. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the impact of zoonoses on the occupational health of veterinarians reviewing the published surveys addressing this subject. Following these inquiries, between 4% and 64.3% of the surveyed professionals acknowledge to have suffered at least one zoonotic disease, and dermatophytosis is the most frequently described zoonosis. In addition, from a qualitative point of view, it is necessary to highlight the occurrence of different diseases of important clinical seriousness and the existence of infections by antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. Due to the absence of updated studies in Spain, the present work reflects on the need to recognize the health determinants associated to the veterinary profession within the characteristics of our labour market. The available data suggest that the occurrence of zoonoses as occupational diseases is underestimated in Spain. Therefore, performing surveys on occupational health, documenting and publishing cases and reviewing the risks and the impact of zoonotic diseases on the veterinary profession would contribute to the description and notification of such diseases on behalf of the healthcare administration and would also become an essential tool in occupational risk prevention

RESUMO

Background: Consumer expenditures on their family pets are rapidly increasing, part of which can be attributed to prescription and OTC medications. In turn, community pharmacies are seeking and receiving an increased number of prescriptions for animals. Community pharmacists’ ability to safely care for animal patients is relatively unexplored. Human medications, their normal dosing and even medication excipients could be lethal in some animal patients. Objective: The overarching objective of this study was to assess pharmacists’ baseline knowledge of potential pet poisons. Methods: The sample consisted of licensed pharmacists registered with the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy. The Pet Toxins Survey (PTS), a survey consisting of 25 potential pet toxins, was administered during October and November 2015. Analyses consisted of calculating descriptive statics (including graphical summaries to test for normality), and inferential statistics (two-tailed t-tests and ANOVAs) to compare responses across demographic variables. Results: A 6.3% response rate was obtained. After selecting either a dog or a cat to establish a frame of reference, participants in this study were able to correctly identify 15 of the 25 listed items as toxic to a pet (60% accuracy). Participants did not express adequate concern for the ingestion of several potential toxins. This includes potential excipients found in medication formulations such as xylitol, tea tree oil and caffeine. Female participants and those age 50 years and older were more likely to indicate concern for each potential toxin. There was no significant difference observed in responses based on the pharmacists’ work setting. Conclusions: The findings of this investigation suggest that pharmacists are deficient in their understanding of veterinary toxicology. Given the rise of community pharmacists caring for animal patients, it’s paramount that pharmacists be able to confidently distinguish potential pet toxins from non-toxins. It is also important that pharmacists receive a better understanding of what exposures require immediate action and what action should be taken (AU)

RESUMO

La traducció llatina dels llibres sobre els animals d’Aristòtil que es va dur a terme durant l’edat mitjana, va comportar la difusió de noves teories de l’àmbit de la biologia i zoologia a la cultura occidental. A partir de la segona meitat del segle XIII, aquest conjunt de llibres va contribuir al desenvolupament d’una nova pràctica mèdica fonamentada en la recuperació dels clàssics i la filosofia natural. Arnau de Vilanova (c. 1240-1311), un dels metges més importants de l’edat mitjana llatina, va utilitzar en diverses ocasions el conjunt de llibres sobre els animals per descriure processos biològics i fisiològics i formular una nova disciplina mèdica en el marc de les discussions entre la filosofia natural i la medicina de Montpeller de finals del segle XIII i principis del XIV (AU)


The Latin translation of Aristotle's books on animals, which was carried out during the middle ages, lead to the dissemination of new theories in the field of biology and zoology in the western culture. From the second half of the 13th century, this group of books contributed to the development of a new medical practice based on the recovery of classical authorities and natural philosophy. On different occasions, Arnau de Vilanova (c. 1240-1311) -one of the most preeminent physicians of the Latin middle ages- used the books on animals to describe biological and physiological processes, and also to formulate a new medical discipline within the framework of discussions between natural philosophy and medicine in Montpellier; this took place at the end of the 13th century and early 14h century (AU)

RESUMO

Introduction: Antibiotics are largely employed in zootechnical feed to preserve human and animal species from zoonosis due pathogenic infective agents. Aim: Due to the increasing number of pathologies related to diet (e.g. food intolerances), we investigated the toxic effects induced by antibiotics residues, oxytetracyclines, present within the industrial food on both human and domestic animals’ health. Zootechnical products obtained from animal bones industrial transformation, and their related toxic effects have been pointed out. Methods: Comparative analysis of published papers has been conducted from 1910 up to 2014. Results: The comparative analysis revealed the presence of oxytetracycline residues and other antibiotics in food intended for human and animal consumption, which resulted in multisystemic toxic effects. Discussion: Either metabolism and possible measures to prevent exposure to oxytetracycline have also been examined, however a more detailed understanding of biochemical effects of such class of antibiotics is required (AU)


Introducción: los antibióticos se emplean ampliamente en la alimentación zootécnica para proteger a las especies humana y animal de las zoonosis por agentes infecciosos patogénicos. Objetivo: dado el creciente número de enfermedades relacionadas con la dieta (p. ej., intolerancias alimentarias), investigamos los efectos tóxicos inducidos por los residuos antibióticos, oxitetraciclinas, presentes en los alimentos industriales tanto sobre la salud humana como animal. Se destacan los productos zootécnicos obtenidos de la transformación industrial de los huesos animales y sus efectos tóxicos relacionados. Métodos: análisis comparativo de las publicaciones realizadas desde 1910 hasta 2014. Resultados: el análisis comparativo reveló la presencia de residuos de oxitetraciclina y otros antibióticos en alimentos pensados para el consumo humano y animal, lo que produjo efectos tóxicos multisistémicos. Discusión: el metabolismo y las posibles medidas para evitar la exposición a la oxitetraciclina también se han examinado, sin embargo, se precisa de un conocimiento más detallado de los efectos bioquímicos de tal clase de antibióticos (AU)

RESUMO

La vacunación constituye uno de los procedimientos más eficaces para controlar los patógenos y prevenir enfermedades tanto en seres humanos como en el campo veterinario. Las vacunas tradicionales frente a enfermedades animales se basan por lo general en la utilización de virus atenuados o inactivados. Sin embargo, las vacunas de subunidad están ganando terreno progresivamente en el campo de la sanidad animal. Entre ellas, las vacunas basadas en pseudopartículas virales o VLPs (por su nombre en inglés virus-like particles), representan una de las estrategias más atractivas actualmente en el campo de las vacunas para animales. Las VLPs son estructuras proteicas con una geometría y uniformidad muy definidas, que mimetizan la estructura de los virus nativos pero carecen de genoma viral. Por lo general son antigénicamente indistinguibles de los virus de los que proceden y su empleo como inmunógenos presenta importantes ventajas en términos de seguridad. Las VLPs pueden inducir una fuerte respuesta inmune, tanto humoral como celular, y se ha demostrado que poseen capacidad de actuar como adyuvantes (self-adjuvanting). Además de su idoneidad como vacunas frente al virus homólogo del cual proceden, las VLPs también se pueden utilizar como vectores para la presentación multimérica de antígenos heterólogos. Las VLPs han mostrado una elevada eficacia como candidatos vacunales, sin embargo, hasta el momento sólo una vacuna basada en VLPs ha sido autorizada y comercializada en el campo veterinario. En este trabajo se revisa el estado actual de las VLP empleadas como nuevas estrategias vacunales en el campo de la veterinaria, analizando las potenciales ventajas y desafíos que enfrenta esta tecnología (AU)


Vaccination is considered one of the most effective ways to control pathogens and prevent diseases in humans as well as in the veterinary field. Traditional vaccines against animal viral diseases are based on inactivated or attenuated viruses, but new subunit vaccines are gaining attention from researchers in animal vaccinology. Among these, virus-like particles (VLPs) represent one of the most appealing approaches opening up interesting frontiers in animal vaccines. VLPs are robust protein scaffolds exhibiting well-defined geometry and uniformity that mimic the overall structure of the native virions but lack the viral genome. They are often antigenically indistinguishable from the virus from which they were derived and present important advantages in terms of safety. VLPs can stimulate strong humoral and cellular immune responses and have been shown to exhibit self-adjuvanting abilities. In addition to their suitability as a vaccine for the homologous virus from which they are derived, VLPs can also be used as vectors for the multimeric presentation of foreign antigens. VLPs have therefore shown dramatic effectiveness as candidate vaccines; nevertheless, only one veterinary VLP-base vaccine is licensed. Here, we review and examine in detail the current status of VLPs as a vaccine strategy in the veterinary field, and discuss the potential advantages and challenges of this technology (AU)

RESUMO

El agroterrorismo constituye una amenaza para nuestra forma de vida por las implicaciones que tendría la diseminación intencionada de un agente biológico. Las consecuencias no sólo económicas que tendría la aparición de un brote de enfermedad que afectara a la cabaña ganadera, hace necesario que los profesionales veterinarios debamos estar vigilantes frente a esta amenaza y ser capaces de responder a los retos que plantearía el establecimiento de un sistema de respuesta global frente a los riesgos que implica el agroterrorismo (AU)

RESUMO

La fluorometría en tiempo retardado es una tecnología novedosa que surge con la intención de reemplazar al radioinmunoanálisis y se presenta como una posible alternativa al ELISA. Este sistema de detección ha permitido el desarrollo de inmunoensayos altamente sensibles en los que antígenos o anticuerpos son marcados con quelatos de lantánidos, emisores de fluorescencia susceptible de ser cuantificada. Su gran sensibilidad hace que sea una herramienta eficaz en el análisis de compuestos que se encuentran en pequeñas concentraciones en diferentes fluidos orgánicos, tales como orina, sangre o saliva. Los crecientes avances en esta metodología han proporcionado ensayos ultrarápidos y ultrasensibles para la determinación de proteínas de fase aguda y marcadores de infarto de miocardio en medicina humana, mientras que en medicina veterinaria una de sus principales aplicaciones se centra en la determinación de hormonas (AU)


Time-resolved fluorometry is a novel technology that emerges to replace radioimunoassay and appears as a feasible alternative to ELISA. This detection system has led to the development of highly sensitive immunoassays in which antigens or antibodies are labelled with lanthanide chelates, which emit fluorescence capable of being quantified. The high sensitivity makes this technology very useful in the measurement of substances present in small quantities in different organic fluids, such as urine, blood or saliva. Recent advances in fluorometry have provided ultrarapid and ultrasensitive assays for the quantification of acute phase proteins and myocardial infarction markers in human medicine, whereas in veterinary medicine one of its main applications focuses on hormones determination (AU)

RESUMO

Se presenta un Protocolo de Vigilancia Sanitaria Específica, desarrollado tras un estudio desfavorable de calidad de aire ambiental en un animalario, en el que se informaba de la aparición de incremento por encima de los valores de seguridad de microorganismos potencialmente patógenos. Se recomendó desinfección del sistema de aire, mientras se priorizaron medidas preventivas y estudio médico-laboral específico a los trabajadores. Esta guía de actuación permitió efectuar prevención primaria y tratamiento precoz en caso de enfermedad. Además puede aplicarse en cualquier entorno laboral que requiera analizar la salud de los trabajadores en relación a la calidad del aire interior (AU)


We present a specific health survey protocol and guideline that has been developed after an unfavourable environmental air quality study at a research animalarium, in which an increase of potentially pathogenic microorganisms above and beyond the safety thresholds was reported. Disinfection of the ventilation system was recommended, while preventive measures and a specific occupational medical study of the workers involved were given priority. These guidelines allowed for primary prevention and early treatment if and when disease arose. It may furthermore be also applied in any occupational environment requiring an analysis of workers´ health as related to environmental air quality (AU)

RESUMO

Los caballos son una especie muy sensible al estrés, una respuesta aguda de estrés induce un aumento en las concentraciones de cortisol plasmático. A corto plazo, moviliza energía, pero la producción de cortisol mantenida crónicamente contribuye al agotamiento de los músculos, a la hipertensión y a la alteración del sistema inmune y fertilidad. Esta respuesta de estrés crónico varía las concentraciones de cortisol plasmático según el estímulo que lo origina y la especie animal que se ve afectada. En este trabajo se revisan las diversas aportaciones sobre el tema: cómo afecta el transporte al estrés de los équidos (según la distancia, condiciones climatológicas y de transporte). También se estudia la relación entre estrés y ejercicio considerando varias variables como la edad del caballo, esfuerzo realizado en el ejercicio y condiciones ambientales. Por último, se considera la relación que existe entre estrés y enfermedad, teniendo en cuenta cómo afecta cada patología y la influencia de la evolución clínica en la concentración de cortisol plasmático (AU)
