ABSTRACT
Two protocols to immobilise free-ranging Pampas foxes for ear-tagging or radio-collaring were evaluated. One hundred fifteen foxes were injected with ketamine-xylazine (K-X) and thirteen with tiletamine-zolazepam (T-Z). The use of both T-Z and K-X combinations typically resulted in a smooth induction and recovery. In 86% of the cases K-X protocol was judged effective (mean±SD, K: 10.7±3.3mg/kg, X: 1.0±1.0mg/kg) while T-Z protocol was judged effective in 92% of the cases (T: 3.6±1.05mg/kg, Z: 3.6±1.05mg/kg). The primary differences between the two drug combinations were that the time necessary for the complete recovery was longer with T-Z, and thermic problems were found more frequently with K-X. Additionally, our results suggest that thermic stress may be a relatively frequent complication for Pampas foxes. This study provides baseline data on some physiologic variables in Pampas foxes captured with different methods and drugs in field conditions.

Este estudo objetivou identificar as espécies arbóreas medicinais das matas ciliares de três pequenas propriedades rurais do município de Urubici-SC, e estabelecer relações entre as características ecológicas das mesmas com as possibilidades de emprego para restauração de ambientes ciliares degradados. Empregou-se o método dos quadrantes, para levantamento dos indivíduos com CAP>15 cm. Os indivíduos amostrados foram herborizados, depositados no Herbário LUSC e categorizados quanto ao uso medicinal, parte usada, freqüência, síndrome de dispersão (anemocórica, autocórica e zoocórica), grupo ecológico (pioneira, secundária inicial, secundária tardia) e uso para restauração florestal. Dos 240 indivíduos amostrados, 197 indivíduos pertencentes a 22 espécies de 15 famílias botânicas apresentaram potencialidades medicinais. As famílias Euphorbiaceae, Rosaceae, Myrtaceae, Sapindaceae, Lauraceae e Anacardiaceae foram as mais abundantes. Mais de 85 por cento das espécies com potencial medicinal amostradas apresentaram síndrome de dispersão zoocórica; cerca de 78 por cento foram incluídas nos grupos ecológicos das secundárias iniciais e pioneiras e cerca de 88 por cento são recomendadas para restauração. As espécies arbóreas medicinais são bastante freqüentes nas matas ciliares degradadas do Rio Canoas, podendo ser fonte de recursos genéticos para a restauração e adequação das APPs à legislação ambiental, além de se constituírem em produtos florestais não madeireiros passíveis de exploração.
This study aimed to identify the medicinal arboreal species from riparian forests at three small farms in Urubici Municipality, Santa Catarina State, Brazil, and relate their ecological features to the possibilities of their use for restoration of degraded riparian environments. In order to survey individuals with circumference at breast height (CBH) >15 cm, the quadrant method was adopted. The sampled specimens were herborized, incorporated into the Herbarium LUSC and categorized according to their medicinal use, employed part, frequency, dispersal syndrome (anemochory, autochory and zoochory), ecological group (pioneer, early secondary, late secondary) and use for forest restoration. Of the 240 sampled specimens, 197 belonging to 22 species of 15 families were potentially medicinal. The most abundant families were Euphorbiaceae, Rosaceae, Myrtaceae, Sapindaceae, Lauraceae and Anacardiaceae. More than 85 percent potentially medicinal species had zoochoric dispersal syndrome, around 78 percent were categorized as early secondary and pioneer, and around 88 percent were recommended for restoration. Medicinal arboreal species are quite common in degraded riparian forests along Canoas River. They can provide genetic resources for restoration and adequacy of permanent preservation areas (PPAs) to the environmental legislation; moreover, they are exploitable non-timber forest products.

Se presenta una nueva forma de Tratamiento del cáncer de próstata en estadios incipintes, la cual por su menor agresividad es mejor aceptada por los pacientes. Se describen los materiales, instrumental, metodología, técnica quirúrgica y controles postoperatorios que realizamos; no se efectúa una evaluación de la misma por el escaso número de pacientes tratados hasta el momento y el corto tiempo de seguimiento. En nuestra experiencia la operación es factible y no encontramos complicaciones postoperatorias de importancia, sindo favorable la evolución y corto el tiempo de internación, en cada tiempo quirúrgico
