RESUMO
Papillomaviruses (PVs) are complex viruses which infect the skin or mucosae of a broad range of amniotes worldwide. They cause benign or malignant lesions depending on environmental factors, virus oncogenicity and the location of infection. Bovine papillomaviruses (BPVs) are the second most studied PVs beyond human PVs. In the past few years, genetic characterization of animal PVs has increased due to the availability of new techniques, which simplified the sequencing of entire genomes. Therefore, this review aims to provide an update of the current epidemiology, classification and genome features of ruminant PVs (mainly BPVs) affecting animals worldwide. The review also aimed to clarify the key differences between the high-risk Delta papillomaviruses and the seemingly low-risk Xi, Epsilon, Dyoxi and Dyokappapillomavirus as well as the recently described PVs BPV18, 19, 21 and PpuPV1 that belongs to an unclassified genus.

We report a living donor who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy using a hand-assisted device (HALD). At preoperative arteriography the donor showed a renal artery aneurysm. The patient was a 37-year-old female, 166 cm height, white, weighing 87 kg, HLA identical to the recipient. HALD was indicated due to the better visualization of renal pedicle and greater security in an obese patient. Renal artery aneurysm is a rare condition, with many possible complications. The method proved to be adequate and safe for donor nephrectomy, despite a renal artery aneurysm.

The authors studied 20 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation using a protocol proposed by Bull for the control of heparinization using the activated coagulation time of whole blood proposed by Hattersley. The patients, alterations in the coagulation and in red cell values were evaluated comparing the pre-operatory values with the post-operatory ones. The activated coagulation time (ACT) was evaluated as to its variability in different periods (pre, trans, and post-surgery). All the results were compared with world literature. They conclude that it is an excellent method for the control of the monitoring of heparin therapy and neutralization with protamine sulfate, which was used in lower doses than those referred to in literature. No post-operatory complications due to alterations in the coagulation system were observed. The total doses of heparin and protamine per kilogram were, respectively, 5.85 mg and 4.34 mg. There was significant variation between the erythrocytes, the hemoglobin and the platelets (p less than 0.001). As to the prothrombin time, the partial thromboplastin time, the coagulation time and the fibrinogen, none showed significant variation. The ACT did not show significant variation between the values obtained during perfusion, and neither between the basal value and the value post-protamine, the basal and the 30 minutes post-protamine, and the post-protamine and 30 minutes post-protamine.
