Os casos dermatológicos atendidos corresponderam a 31,38% de todas as consultas realizadas em cães e as dermatoses mais observadas neste estudo foram, em ordem decrescente, as bacterianas, parasitárias, fúngicas, imunológicas, distúrbios de ceratinização, doenças cutâneas diversas e dermatopatias psicogênicas. As doenças de maior ocorrência foram, em ordem decrescente, a foliculite superficial, demodicidose, dermatofitose, otite bacteriana, foliculite profunda, disqueratinização seca, dermatite alérgica a picada de pulgas, otite fúngica, escabiose, impetigo, malasseziose, otite parasitária, pododermatite e dermatite atópica. Os resultados mostraram que a dermatologia na medicina veterinária de cães, sendo que o diagnóstico e o manejo dessas enfermidades devem ser considerados de extrema importância aos clínicos de pequenos animais.Palavras-chave: bacteriana; fúngica; imunológica; parasitária; dermatopatias; cães. SKIN DISEASES IN DOGS: A REVIEW OF 257 CASESABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to collect data on skin diseases in dogs evaluated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Northern Parana State University (UENP), in Bandeirantes, Parana, Brazil. Dermatological conditions amounted to 31.38% of all consultations in dogs, and the most common skin conditions observed were, from the most to the least common: bacterial, parasitic, fungal, immune, and keratinization disorders; general skin diseases and psychogenic conditions. The highest scoring diseases, in number of occurrences were, in descending order: Superficial folliculitis, demodicidosis, dermatophytosis, bacterial otitis, deep folliculitis, dry dekeratinization, allergic dermatitis caused by flea bites, fungal ear infections, scabies, impetigo, malassezia dermatitis, parasitical otitis, pad dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis.
The objective of this research was to determine the frequency for the occurrence of MS in dogs, using the criteria determined, and to correlate the criteria of dogs that would characterize the MS with different body condition score (BCS). 271 dogs with different body scores were studied, with 101 dogs with BCS 4-5; 101 dogs with BCS 6-7; and 69 dogs with BCS 8-9. Among the dogs studied, 62 (22,87%) had two or more inclusion criteria for MS. Of these, 28 had BCS 6-7, while 34 dogs had BCS 8-9. Therefore, 27,72% of overweight dogs had inclusion criteria for MS and 49,27% of obese ones had two or more inclusion criteria for MS. When only overweight and obese dogs were considered as a total population, it was observed that 36,47% got inclusion criteria for the MS. No dog with BCS 4-5 showed two or more inclusion criteria for MS. The metabolic syndrome, according to the parameters for inclusion defined in the literature, was observed in 22,87% of the animals studied and in 36% of dogs overweight or obese. Furthermore, MS was most common in obese (49%) compared to overweight dogs (27%).
O hipertireoidismo é a endocrinopatia mais freqüente em gatos velhos. É uma doençamultissistêmica provocada pelo excesso dos hormônios tireoidianos circulantes. O hipertireoidismo provocaalteração no metabolismo ósseo com predomínio da atividade de reabsorção. A avaliação do metabolismoósseo pode ser feita através da mensuração dos marcadores do metabolismo ósseo no soro ou na urina e,também, pela densitometria mineral óssea. Os osteoblastos são as células responsáveis pela formação ósseaenquanto os osteoclastos são responsáveis pela reabsorção. Em situação fisiológica as atividadesosteoblástica e osteoclástica estão em equilíbrio. Os marcadores da formação óssea representam a atividadeosteoblástica e os marcadores da reabsorção óssea representam à atividade osteoclástica. Os marcadores dometabolismo ósseo são importantes no diagnóstico e no prognóstico de doenças osteomusculares, bem comono acompanhamento da terapia destas doenças. São necessários estudos da influência do hipertireoidismofelino nos marcadores de formação e de reabsorção do metabolismo ósseo para que se possa compreender omecanismo fisiopatológico das alterações ósseas.
Currently, canine obesity is a worldwide problem and is based on the excessive deposit of fat tissue, which plays an important role as a store of energy and endocrine organ. This study aimed to compare the values of systolic blood pressure, serum chemistry profile and glucose metabolism in eight obese dogs without endocrine diseases before and after 16 weeks of a weight loss program. A statistical difference was noticed in the serum levels of alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, glucose, cholesterol and insulin, before and after the program. Besides, there was a statistical difference between the moments in systolic blood pressure, body weight and body condition scale. Therefore, it was concluded that the use of a diet rich in fiber and protein is suitable for performing weight loss and obese dogs undergoing a weight loss program presented a significant reduction in blood pressure, blood glucose, insulin, blood cholesterol, serum activity of alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transferase.
RESUMO A formação e reabsorção óssea são processos contínuos no organismo e uma das maneiras de avaliar as alterações, a intensidade ou alterações desse processo é pela
