Background: The results from automated equipment and peripheral blood smears allow correlating clinical data with cellular blood counts (CBC), generating information on pathologies of hematological and non-hematological origin in dogs. Objective: To describe qualitative and quantitative magnitudes of CBC in healthy donor dogs of a blood- bank in Medellín (Colombia). Methods: A descriptive-prospective study was carried out from 146 records of CBC results from a blood-bank. The samples were processed by automated equipment, and trained personnel performed the observation of peripheral blood smears to collect qualitative information. Variables such as age, sex, breed, quantitative results, and observations of the peripheral blood smears were considered. For the definition of biological intervals (BIs), the mean and two standard deviations were used for the data with a normal distribution. Otherwise, the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles were used. Results: The size, granularity, and cytoplasmic vacuoles in monocytes and polymorphonuclear eosinophils, as well as the presence of Barr chromatin and occasional circulating erythroblasts, were remarkable findings to the peripheral blood smear. With the standardization of data obtained from dogs of large and giant breeds, the present work provides BIs for some of the CBC data in the studied population. Conclusion: The findings of the present study allow approximations to the definition of alterations in blood cells and their counts, which can guide the veterinarian towards an early diagnosis in dogs., Antecedentes: As informações obtidas de equipamentos automatizados e esfregaços de sangue periférico permitem correlacionar os resultados clínicos e de hemogramas, gerando informações interessantes sobre patologias de origem hematológica e não hematológica em cães. Objetivo: Descrever as magnitudes qualitativa e quantitativa do hemograma em cães saudáveis, doadores de um banco de sangue em Medellín (Colômbia). Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo-prospectivo a partir de 146 registros de resultados de hemograma encaminhados por um banco de sangue. As amostras foram processadas por uma equipe automatizada e pessoal treinado observou o esfregaço de sangue periférico para a coleta de informações qualitativas. Foram consideradas variáveis como idade, sexo, raça, resultados quantitativos das amostras e observações do esfregaço de sangue periférico. Para a definição de intervalos biológicos (IBs), foram utilizados a média e dois desvios-padrão para os dados com distribuição normal. Caso contrário, foram utilizados os percentis 2,5 e 97,5. Resultados: O tamanho, a granularidade e os vacúolos citoplasmáticos dos monócitos e das células polimorfonucleares dos eosinófilos, bem como a presença da cromatina de Barr e ocasionais eritroblastos circulantes foram achados marcantes na disseminação do sangue periférico. Com a normalização dos dados para cães de raças grandes e gigantes, o presente trabalho fornece IBs para alguns dos dados de hemograma na população estudada. Conclusão: Os achados do presente estudo permitem aproximações à definição de alterações nas células sanguíneas e suas contagens, o que pode orientar o médico veterinário responsável pelo diagnóstico precoce em cães., Antecedentes: Los datos obtenidos de equipos automatizados y extendidos de sangre periférica permiten correlacionar la clínica y los resultados del hemograma, generando información de interés sobre patologías de origen hematológico y no hematológico en perros. Objetivo: Describir las magnitudes cualitativas y cuantitativas del hemograma en perros sanos, donantes de un banco de sangre en Medellín (Colombia). Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo-prospectivo a partir de 146 registros de resultados de hemograma remitidos por un banco de sangre. Las muestras fueron procesadas por un equipo automatizado y personal entrenado realizó la observación del extendido de sangre periférica para la colección de información de corte cualitativo. Variables como edad, sexo, raza, resultados cuantitativos de las muestras y observaciones al extendido de sangre periférica fueron consideradas. Para la definición de intervalos biológicos (IBs) se utilizaron la media y dos desviaciones estándar para los datos con distribución normal. De lo contrario, se utilizaron los percentiles 2,5 y 97,5. Resultados: El tamaño, granularidad y vacuolas citoplasmáticas en monocitos y polimorfonucleares eosinófilos, así como la presencia de Cromatina de Barr y eritroblastos circulantes ocasionales fueron hallazgos llamativos al extendido de sangre periférica. Con la normalización de los datos para caninos de razas grandes y gigantes, el presente trabajo aporta IBs para algunos de los datos del hemograma en la población estudiada. Conclusión: Los hallazgos del presente estudio permiten aproximaciones a la definición de alteraciones en las células hemáticas y sus conteos, que pueden orientar al médico veterinario hacia un diagnóstico temprano en perros.

The hematological parameters were evaluated in the Oreochromis niloticus species, weighing between 120 and 375 g, where chemical standards of water were included (T °, pH and OD), morphometry and haematological diagnosis, carried out at the Santo Domingo Experimental Farm from the University of the Amazonia, Florencia - Caquetá-Colombia. A directed and completely random sampling of 32 individuals was used, the blood was extracted by cardiac puncture and placed in Eppendorf tubes with EDTA. Blood smears were stained with Ema staining color for its laboratory analysis. The InfoStat was applied as a statistical method for the analysis of the variables to be measured. A total of leukocytes of 1.11 celx105 / mm3 was found, predominating neutrophils with 49.3% followed by lymphocytes with 38.8%, monocytes with 5.9%, eosinophils with 4.3%, basophils with 1.7 % and thrombocytes with 63.8% as an independent series. For the red series, an average of erythrocytes of 1.5 celx106 / mm3, hemoglobin of 7.9 g / dL; hematocrit of 23.3%, plasma proteins 3.3 g / dL, mean corpuscular volume 165 (u3), mean corpuscular hemoglobin 55 (uug) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration of 33.3%. In conclusion, it was determined that some individuals presented Leukopenia with Lymphopenia and thrombocytosis. In addition, two individuals presented Normochromic Microcytic Anemia (AMN) and 19 individuals presented Normochromic Normocitic Anemia (ANN). The analysis of Total Plasma Proteins (PPT) determined that the high mortality rate was not due to nutritional deficiency. There was a positive similarity between the VCM and HCM, and negatively with the total number of erythrocytes., The hematological parameters were evaluated in the Oreochromis niloticus species, weighing between 120 and 375 g, where chemical standards of water were included (T °, pH and OD), morphometry and haematological diagnosis, carried out at the Santo Domingo Experimental Farm from the University of the Amazonia, Florencia - Caquetá-Colombia.

A presença da anemia na doença renal crônica é determinada por diferentes fatores. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi entender e explicar a relação da IR no surgimento da anemia, por meio da compreensão de exames e do diagnostico. A metodologia utilizada foi retrospectiva, analítica, explicativa e longitudinal. Analisaram-se os valores dos parâmetros do eritrogama e de ureia pré e pós hemodiálise disponíveis no banco de dados do acervo eletrônico dos pacientes atendidos no Laboratório do Hospital São Lucas da cidade de Patos de Minas durante o período de 6 meses. Do total de 344 exames analisados, houve a ocorrência de anemia em 309 pacientes. Os resultados das médias geral para ambos os sexos foram: hemácias 3,50x106/mm3(±0,61), hemoglobina10,33g/dL(±1,76), hematócrito 31,21%(±5,26), VCM 90,58fL(±7,11), HCM 29,60pg(±2,14), ureia pré 114,09mgdl(±39,48) e ureia pós 34,80mg/dl(±14,07). Os valores encontrados para a ureia foram acima do valor de referência para ambas as etapas. Esta pesquisa teve um parecer consubstanciado aprovado pelo CEP Fundação Educacional de Patos de Minas-AEPM com número de parecer 1.467.943. As evidências propostas enfatizam o papel da Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) em pacientes dialíticos e sua associação com a anemia. O declínio da função renal e por consequência o surgimento da anemia normocítica normocrômica se mostrou presente em 90% dos pacientes devido ser uma das manifestações mais frequentes na DRC.

The diagnosis of diseases in animals depends to a large extent on clinical examinations and laboratory results, in which biological variations are reflected. The hematological values are very important for the evaluation of the normal physiological state of an animal. However, very few works have been carried out in this respect on creole asses. The objective of this investigation was to determine the mean values of a hemogram for creoles donkeys of the Colombian lowland. A cross - sectional descriptive study was performed with a non - probabilistic sample for convenience. Samples of 85 male donkeys between 4 and 15 years old were clinically healthy and fed with Brachiaria humidicula pastures. These parameters were obtained by means of a hematological analyzer (ABX Micros ESV 60). The values obtained were: leukocytes 7.6±1.6 x103/mm3, lymphocytes 39.69±10.87%, monocytes 5.89±1.63%, granulocytes 54.41±10.75%, eosinophils 7.08±2.77%, erythrocytes 4.48±0.85 x106/mm3, hemoglobin 8.62±1.3 g/dL, hematocrit 30.24 ± 5.1%, mean corpuscular volume 67.71±5.91 ?m3, mean corpuscular hemoglobin 19.45±1.94 pg, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration 28.48±1.36 g/dL and platelets 354.20±136.24 x103/mm3. The results confirm that there are differences between the values in most hematological parameters of creole donkeys compared to those of other breeds and horses. These results may be useful in the veterinary clinical routine for the diagnosis, monitoring and control of diseases., El diagnóstico de las enfermedades en los animales, depende en gran medida de los exámenes clínicos y resultados de laboratorio, en los cuales se reflejan variaciones biológicas. Los valores hematológicos son muy importantes para la evaluación del estado fisiológico normal de un animal. Sin embargo, son muy pocos los trabajos que se han llevado a cabo en este aspecto en asnos criollos. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar los valores medios de un hemograma para burros criollos del tópico bajo colombiano. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal con muestro no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se tomaron muestras de 85 burros machos entre 4 y 15 años clínicamente sanos y alimentados con pasturas de Brachiaria humidicula. Estos parámetros se obtuvieron por medio de un analizador hematológico (ABX Micros ESV 60). Los valores obtenidos fueron: leucocitos 7,6±1,6 x103/mm3, linfocitos 39,69±10,87%, monocitos 5,89±1,63%, granulocitos 54,41±10,75%, eosinófilos 7,08±2,77%, eritrocitos 4,48±0,85 x106/mm3, hemoglobina 8,62±1,3 g/dL, hematocrito 30,24±5,1%, volumen corpuscular medio 67,71±5,91 µm3, hemoglobina corpuscular media 19.45±1.94 pg, concentración de hemoglobina corpuscular media 28,48±1,36 g/dL y plaquetas 354,20±136,24 x103/mm3. Los resultados confirman que existen diferencias entre los valores en la mayoría de los parámetros hematológicos de burros criollos comparados con los de otras razas y equinos. Estos resultados pueden ser útiles en la rutina clínica veterinaria para el diagnóstico, seguimiento y control de enfermedades.

Los valores obtenidos fueron: leucocitos 7,6±1,6 x103/mm3, linfocitos 39,69±10,87%, monocitos 5,89±1,63%, granulocitos 54,41±10,75%, eosinófilos 7,08±2,77%, eritrocitos 4,48±0,85 x106/mm3, hemoglobina 8,62±1,3 g/dL, hematocrito 30,24±5,1%, volumen corpuscular medio 67,71±5,91 µm3, hemoglobina corpuscular media 19.45±1.94 pg, concentración de hemoglobina corpuscular media 28,48±1,36 g/dL y plaquetas 354,20±136,24 x103/mm3. Los resultados confirman que existen diferencias entre los valores en la mayoría de los parámetros hematológicos de burros criollos comparados con los de otras razas y equinos. Estos resultados pueden ser útiles en la rutina clínica veterinaria para el diagnóstico, seguimiento y control de enfermedades.

E-mail: jully_volps@hotmail.com The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different fluid infusion rates on hematologic and urinary parameters in dogs. A total of 30 mixed-breed, male dogs were distributed into three groups. Fluid (0.9% NaCl) was administered during a one-hour period at rates: G5 (5 mL/ kg); G10 (10 mL/ kg); G50 (50 mL/kg). Blood samples for erythrogram, and urine to perform urine specific gravity were taken over the following time points studied. Urinary volume produced was also evaluated during the same time points. Erythrogram values were statistically lower between T10 and T240 in G10 and G50, compared to T0, and the lowest values were found in G50. Urine specific gravity decreased statistically between all time points only in G50. Statistical differences were found in urinary output between groups, with higher volumes in G50 in most of the time points studied, it can be concluded that fluid therapy changes hematologic indices in rates of 10 and 50 mL/ kg for one hour. At least a four hour period must be respected after the end of infusion to collect blood for erythrogram samples. Fluid therapy affects the urine specific gravity only at high infusion rates (50 mL/kg for 1 hour), and in this case urine samples should be collected after more than 4 hours after the end of infusion, although lower rates (5 and 10 mL / kg for 1 hour) do not interfere with urine specific gravity., O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos de diferentes taxas de infusão de fluidoterapia sobre parâmetros hematológicos e urinários em cães. Foram utilizados 30 cães, sem raça definida, machos, distribuídos em três grupos que receberam fluidoterapia (NaCl 0,9%) pelo período de uma hora nas taxas: G5 (5mL/kg); G10 (10mL/ kg); G50 (50mL/kg). Amostras de sangue para realização de hemograma, e de urina para realização de densidade urinária foram colhidas ao longo de diferentes momentos, assim como a avaliação do volume urinário produzido. Os valores do eritrograma foram menores estatisticamente de T10 a T240 em G10 e G50, em relação a T0. Na comparação entre grupos, os menores valores para o eritrograma foram encontrados em G50. A densidade urinária apresentou diminuição estatística entre momentos somente em G50, sendo que este grupo apresentou valores menores em relação a G5 e G10. O débito urinário apresentou diferenças estatísticas entre grupos, com maiores valores em G50 em praticamente todos os momentos estudados. Assim, pode-se concluir que a fluidoterapia altera os valores hematológicos em taxas de 10 e 50mL/ kg/h, se devendo esperar um período superior a quatro horas após o término da infusão para coleta de amostras de sangue. Ainda, a fluidoterapia altera a densidade urinária apenas em altas taxas de infusão (50mL/kg por 1 hora), sendo que, nesses casos, amostras de urina devem ser colhidas num período superior a 4 horas após o término da infusão, porém taxas mais baixas (5 e 10mL/Kg por 1 hora) não interferem com a densidade urinária.

At the last three decades, the creation of goats for milk production in Brazil, comes increasing as a lucrative activity, and which is based in the exploration of goats of exotic breed, usually from regions with temperate weather, thus being essential to evaluate the adaptability conditions of them. The experiment was realized in the Goats Creation sector of the Health and Rural Technology, at the Federal University of Campina Grande-PB. 16 Saanen goats created in an intensive system were used, offering supplementation in four levels of cotton seeds: 0, 3, 6 and 9% added to the concentrate. The means for the air temperature and for the black globe humidity and temperature index at the morning and at the afternoon were: 27,12 and 32,06 oC; 82,27 and 93,58 , respectively. There was effect of shift (P<0,05) on the rectal temperature, respiratory frequency and the superficial temperature, being the highest means registered at the afternoon. There was not significant effect (P>0,05) of the treatments, levels of the concentrate on the hematological parameters. According to the obtained results, Saanen goats are susceptible to the climatic effects from the semiarid region, thus it is necessary a specific management and adequate installations to minimize the thermic stress., A caprinocultura leiteira no Brasil, nas últimas três décadas, vem se consolidando como uma atividade rentável, e esta atividade está alicerçada na exploração de raças caprinas exóticas, geralmente de origem de clima temperado, sendo imprescindível à avaliação da adaptabilidade das mesmas. O experimento foi realizado no setor de Caprinocultura do Centro de Saúde e Tecnologia Rural (CSTR), da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande-UFCG. Foram utilizadas 16 cabras da raça Saanen, em sistema intensivo, com suplementação de farelo de algodão em quatro níveis: 0, 3, 6 e 9% adicionados ao concentrado. As médias das temperaturas do ar e do ITGU nos turnos da manhã e da tarde foram: 27,12 e 32,06 oC; 82,27 e 93,58, respectivamente. Houve efeito de turno (P<0,05) sobre a temperatura retal, freqüência respiratória e a temperatura superficial, sendo as maiores médias registradas no turno da tarde. Não se verificou efeito significativo (P>0,05) dos tratamentos, níveis de concentrado, sobre os parâmetros hematológicos. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, cabras da raça Saanen são suscetíveis aos efeitos do clima da região semiárida, necessitando, portanto, de manejo e instalações que permitam amenizar o estresse térmico.
