ABSTRACT
O presente estudo objetivou avaliar os índices morfométricos para garanhões, machos castrados e fêmeas da raça Campolina, bem como caracterizá-los morfologicamente. Para tanto, foram utilizadas as medidas lineares de 4.840 garanhões, 19.037 fêmeas e 1.371 machos castrados, obtidas no banco de dados do Serviço de Registro Genealógico da ABCCCampolina, com base nas quais nove índices morfométricos foram calculados utilizando-se seis medidas lineares. A análise de variância foi realizada para avaliar o efeito do sexo e da idade sobre os índices obtidos. Verificou-se que ambos os fatores influenciaram os índices morfométricos. Garanhões apresentaram peso calculado aproximado superior tanto às fêmeas quanto aos machos castrados. De acordo com o índice peitoral, todas as categorias foram classificadas como "longe do chão". Em relação aos valores médios dos índices corporal e dáctilo torácico, garanhões e castrados foram classificados como mediolíneos e eumétricos, respectivamente, enquanto as fêmeas foram classificadas como brevilíneas e hipométricas. Conclui-se que os machos castrados e os garanhões da raça Campolina enquadram-se no padrão da raça para animais tipo sela, mas as fêmeas não. Entretanto, os índices de compacidade 1 e 2 apresentam resultados contraditórios e precisam ser melhor avaliados para fins de uso em classificações. Para a maioria dos índices, os animais castrados apresentaram-se melhor proporcionados que as demais categorias.
The present study aimed to evaluate the morphometric indexes for Campolina stallions, gelded and mare horses, as well as morphologically characterizing them. For this purpose linear measurements from 4.840 stallions, 19.037 mares and 1371 gelded horses were used, obtained from ABCCCampolina's stud book database, from which nine morphometric indexes were calculated from six linear measurements. Analysis of variance was carried out to evaluate the effect of sex and age on the indexes obtained. We found that both factors influenced the morphometric index. Stallions have presented higher estimate body weight values than mares and gelded horses. According to the pectoral index values all categories were classified as far from the ground. According to body index and dactyl thoracic index average values, stallions and gelded horses were classified as medium lined and middleweight, respectively, once the mares were classified as more compact and overweight. It is concluded that Campolina stallions and gelded horses fall within the breed standard for saddle animals, but mares don't. However, the compact indexes 1 and 2 showed contradictory results and need to be better evaluated for its intended use in classifications. For most indexes gelded animals showed better proportion than the other categories.

El tumor de Wilms, también llamado Nefroblastoma es el segundo tumor maligno troperineal más común en el niño. Es el responsable del 5 al 10 por ciento de todos los tumores en la infancia. En nuestro medio hasta 1979 la sobrevida no superaba el 34 por ciento. A partir de entonces con el uso de un protocolo multidisciplinario de tratamiento, basado en el National Wilms Tumor Study de los EEUU y a partir de 1986 Grupo Cooperativo Brasilero para el tratamiento del tumor de Wilms, la sobrevida alcanzó el 83 por ciento. Los autores presentan la experiencia con el tratamiento de 25 niños portadores de Tumor de Wilms en el período 1979 a 1986. Son analizados la estadificación, el tratamiento quirúrgico, quimioterápico y radioterapéutico. El seguimiento posoperatorio fue entre 5 y 196 meses con una media de 69 meses, con una sobrevida globlal de 88 por ciento

We relate a case of an 18-year-old man, resident of Xapuri (state of Acre, Brazil), with a history of repeated episodes of meningoencephalitis (three in one year), each one was examined by a local doctor. In our service (Emílio Ribas Institute of Infectology) we observed a patient with polyjoint aches, radiological and bronchoscopic pulmonary alterations (without clinical features), meningeal and brain stem manifestations--with normal brain computed tomography and cerebrospinal fluid. Blood eosinophils and serological Toxocara canis test (ELISA) were greatly increased. With the hypothesis of Toxocariasis (visceral larva migrans) we administered thiabendazole that brought complete clinical and laboratory remission. Inspite of a new episode of headache with meningeal manifestation approximately one month later (treated with dexamethasone resulting in a full remission after three days) we have not found other manifestations in approximately three and a half years of ambulatory care.

The life of Eurytrema coelomaticum was studied in the snails Bradybaena similaris with the following objetive to analize the development and prevalence of the trematode within its intermediate hosts. The study was happened about laboratory and natural observations at two municipalities localized at Vale do Paraiba, SP, Brazil. The prevalence of E. coelomaticum in B. similaris at the properties surveyed ranged between 9.75 percent and 20.15 percent at Lorena and Pindamonhangaba, SP, respectively
