Diâmetro biparietal fetal por ultrassonografia como ferramenta para estimar a idade gestacional em cadelas da raça buldogue francês / Fetal biparietal diameter by ultrassonography as a tool for estimating gestational age in bitches of the French Bulldog race

O acompanhamento gestacional por ultrassonografia permite avaliar o desenvolvimento do concepto e estimar a idade gestacional (IG). No entanto, a fórmula de Nyland e Mattoon para cálculo da IG foi desenvolvida no Beagle. Cães braquicefálicos como o Buldogue Francês apresentam maior predisposição à distocia, o que torna ainda mais importante a correta estimativa da IG. Objetivou-se avaliar a fórmula de Nyland e Mattoon para datar a IG em Buldogue Francês. Cinco cadelas foram submetidas à ultrassonografia abdominal aos 55 dias pós-inseminação. Foi mensurado o diâmetro biparietal (DBP) fetal e aplicado na fórmula. Os resultados foram expressos na forma de média e erro padrão. O DBP foi de 2,14±0,02 e a IG correspondeu a 52 dias. A fórmula não tem confiabilidade para estimar a IG nesta raça.

The ultrasound gestational follow-up allows the evaluation of the development of the concept and the estimation of gestational age (GI). However, the Nyland and Mattoon formula for calculating the GI was developed in the Beagle. Brachycephalic dogs such as the French Bulldog have a greater predisposition to dystocia, which makes the correct estimation of GI even more important. The objective of this study was to evaluate the Nyland and Mattoon formula for dating GI in French Bulldog. Five bitches were submitted to abdominal ultrasound at 55 days post-insemination. The fetal biparietal diameter (DBP) was measured and applied in the formula. The results were expressed as mean and standard error. DBP was 2.14±0.02 and IG corresponded to 52 days. The formula has no reliability to estimate GI in this breed.

Levantamento e diagnóstico de populações de Callicebus nigrifrons no Parque Estadual do Rio Doce e seu entorno / Survey of populations of Callicebus nigrifrons in the Rio Doce State Parc and its surroundings

Callicebus nigrifrons is one of the seven primate species that occur in the Rio Doce State Parc (PERD), which is part of the Atlantic Rain Forest Biosphere Reserve. The present study aims raise populations of C. nigrifrons and diagnose their conservation status in PERD and environment.The survey was conducted in July 2018, through interviews with the local population and researchers (n=24) and active search with playback support and characterization of forest fragments (n=22), in three regions: the interior of the park, north and south surroundings.. The occurrence of the species was recorded in the three regions by direct observation, vocalization in response to playback and / or interviewees' reports. Most of the sampled areas presented as small fragments with low vegetation quality, surrounded by pastures or eucalyptus plantations, especially in the vicinity of PERD. Although it is a species with a certain flexibility to live in small fragments and disturbed, the isolation, reduction and degradation of the habitats in the long term, can impact the genetic variability and availability of resources and, consequently, the viability of the populations of C. nigrifrons in these places. Therefore, the protection, recovery and recomposition of the connectivity of forests are measures of great importance to promote the survival of the species in PERD and especially in its surroundings.

Hemoparasitoses associadas a doenças uterinas em cadela Golden Retriever Relato de caso / Hemoparasitoses associated with uterine diseases in Golden Retriever bitch Case report

As most common uterine diseases encountered in clinical small animal are complex cystic endometrialhyperplasia and its evolution to hydrometra, mucometra and pyometra. His clinical signs are common to otherdiseases that affect dogs very often in northeastern Brazil, as hemoparasitoses as ehrlichiosis and babesiosis. Whenthese conditions occur simultaneously, the diagnosis and, consequently, treatment may be impaired. Thus, this workrelated to the case of a bitch who presents a research on the subject, ehrlichiosis and babesiosis, describing thetreatment and the implications of the simultaneous occurrence of diseases in the effectiveness of treatments.(AU)
