Background: Accidents caused by venom of Crotalus durissus snakes, popularly known in Brazil as rattlesnake, aresecond in relation to the occurrence and first place in deaths in humans and animals, mainly due to the great neurotoxic,myotoxic, coagulant, nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic potential of their venom. The effects observed are due to the action ofthe main poison fractions and among them we can mention crotoxin (representing 50% of the total poison), crotamine,gyroxine and conxulxin. The present study aimed to analyze the liver of experimentally poisoned Wistar rats with venomof Crotalus durissus terrificus by means of histological and fractal analysis. The hypothesis is that the venom of Crotalusdurissus terrificus is can induce hepatic damage at the dose recommended in this study, that its alterations can be quantifiedby the fractal dimension and that the antiofidic serum botropic crotalic be able to minimize the hepatic lesions inducedby the venom.Materials, Methods & Results: Ninety rats were distributed into different groups and treated with: control group (GC, n= 30) 0.9% sodium chloride solution; venom group (GV, n = 30) crotalic venom at the dose of 1 mg/kg; (GVS, n = 30)crotalic venom at the dose of 1 mg/Kg and antiofidic serum 6 h after the application of the venom at the dose recommendedby the manufacturer. Liver samples were collected at 2 h (M1), 8 h (M2) and 24 h (M3) after venom administration andsubmitted to histological analysis and fractal dimension (DF) using the ImageJ® software and box-counting method. Procedures for collecting, processing and analyzing samples were standardized. For statistical analyzes, after the normalitywas verified by the Shapiro-Wilk test and homogeneity by the Bartlett test, the data were submitted to analysis of variance(ANOVA) with Duncan test contrast with a significance level of 5%. No significant lesions were observed in GC, howevernecrosis...(AU)

Background: Anticonvulsants are widely used in the treatment of small animals for the remission of isolated seizures and recurrent seizures in epilepsy, including tonic-clonic seizures and in status epileticus. Phenobarbital is the drug of choice for the management of epileptic seizures, it is considered very effective, safe, low cost and with few side effects. Several routes of administration may be used, with the oral, intravenous and intramuscular routes being the most common, with rectal and nasal routes being the least common.Materials, Methods & Results: Twenty mongrel dogs were used in the present study (aged 1 to 6-year-old, males and females, weighing 6.0 to 17.0 kg). The patients were previously evaluated via physical examination, temperature, respiratory and heart rate, laboratory tests (erythrogram and leukogram), and serum biochemistry by analyzing the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (FA), and gammaglutamyltransferase (GGT). Four experimental groups were established with five animals in each group: animals receiving intramuscular injections of phenobarbital (VIM), animals receiving nasal administration of phenobarbital (VN), animals receiving rectal administration of phenobarbital (VR), and animals receiving oral administration of phenobarbital (VO). Phenobarbital was administered every 12 h for 15 days. To determine the serum level of phenobarbital, 5 mL of jugular vein blood was collected in vacuum tubes for evaluation via hemogram. The serum level was determined after 15 days of continuous administration of phenobarbital, as stable phenobarbital serum levels can only be achieved from 10 to 15 days after the first administration. For the serum biochemistry evaluation, 10 mL of blood from the jugular vein was collected using vacuum syringes for assessing ALT, AST, GGT, and FA levels.[...]
