IntroductionSexually transmitted infections (STI) have consequences that negatively affect the population’s quality of life and health. Young adults are susceptible to low access to preventive measures and a greater risk behavior risk. The objective was to evaluate and compare STI’ Knowledge in university students from health courses, a public institution, and a private institution of higher education in Brazil.Methodsa cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 in Brazil at the FEMA School of Medicine in Assis-SP and the University of the State of São Paulo (UNESP) in Marília in the courses of Physiotherapy, Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy, in undergraduate students, over 18 years of age, through a self-applied questionnaire translated and adapted to the Brazilian Portuguese from the STD-KQ – Transmitted Disease Knowledge Questionnaire.Results462/700 students participated (66.66%) 18-46 years of age (mean 21.46 years, +/− 3.61), 99 men and 363 women. In the private institution, 262/340 (77.06%), and in the public institution, 200/360 (55.55%). The mean age was 22.21 (+/− 4.21) years among men and 21.25 (+/− 3.41) years among women. The mean percentage of the 28 test questions’ correct answers was 52.07%. The average number of correct responses per student was 17.49 out of 28 possible, 62% (+/− 4.97). The distribution between the groups was normal. In the multiple linear regression model for the percentage of correct answers, adjusted for the confounding variables, the intercept was 55.2. The students of the private institution answered 19,655 questions more than the public one (PConclusionthere are gaps in STI knowledge among university students in the health area. The students of the first semesters of the courses, and, in particular, students from a public educational institution, had a significantly lower performance of the right in the questionnaire applied. Thus, actions to promote STI knowledge and preventive attitudes are necessary among university students.

Diversos protocolos pré e pós-operatórios utilizando agentes anti-inflamatórios esteroidais e não-esteroidais têm sido empregados na tentativa de controle da uveíte cirurgicamente induzida. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a reação inflamatória pós-operatória, clinicamente e por meio da pressão intraocular (PIO), após a cirurgia de facoemulsificação para extração de catarata em cães, com e sem implante de lente intraocular (LIO) em piggyback. Empregaram-se, 25 cães portadores de catarata, subdivididos em dois grupos: G1 (com implante de LIO), G2 (sem implante de LIO). A técnica cirúrgica adotada foi a facoemulsificação bimanual unilateral. Avaliações clínicas e mensurações da PIO foram aferidas antes do procedimento cirúrgico (0) e nos tempos 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 e 60 dias após o ato cirúrgico. Cães do grupo G1 apresentaram sinais clínicos de uveíte visivelmente mais intensos, relativamente aos do G2. Entretanto, a PIO não demonstrou diferença significativa entre os dois grupos analisados, nem entre os olhos operados e os contralaterais. A utilização de duas LIOs humanas em piggyback no cão é exequível, porém suscita mais inflamação e complicações no pós-operatório. Perioperative and postoperative uveitis is the main problem in cataract surgery in dogs, affecting short-term and long-term postoperative success. Numerous therapeutic methods involving both steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents have been used to reduce surgically-induced uveitis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the postoperative inflammatory reaction and intraocular pressure after phacoemulsification surgery for cataract extraction with and without intraocular piggyback lens (IOL) implantation in dogs. A total of 25 dogs were divided into two groups: Group 1 (with IOL implantation) and Group 2 (without IOL implantation). The performed surgical technique consisted of unilateral bimanual phaco-emulsification. Clinical assessment and intraocular pressure were measured before surgery (0) and at 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 60 days after the surgery. Clinical assessment revealed inflammatory reaction more severe in dogs of G1 when compared to G2. Intraocular pressure did not differ significantly either between G1 and G2 or operated and non-operated eyes. Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation using piggyback technique with human IOL is a possible method to be performed in canine ophthalmology. However, nursing care is necessary as the the procedure induces inflammation and complications in the postoperative period.

A new species of Baleja Melichar, 1926, is described and illustrated based on specimens from Colombia (Narino and Valle del Cauca departments). Baleja bella sp. nov. can be distinguished from other species of the genus mainly by the color pattern and male genital structures. The new species presents on the head a pair of peculiar lenticular sclerites, delimited by the loral sutures and adjacent to the frons, which are for the first time reported for Baleja. Taxonomic notes on the genus are included.

Endothelial cell function is essential to maintain corneal transparency, but unfortunately the regenerative capacity of the endothelium is limited. There are only a few reports describing the effect of age on morphologic appearance of corneal endothelial cells of dogs. Studies of normal corneal endothelial cells in humans and dogs have shown a decrease in endothelial cell density (ECD) and an increase in pleomorphism and polymegethism with advancing age. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of age on ECD and endothelial cell morphology in dogs. A total of 30 dogs were divided into three groups (10 dogs/group) based on age: group 1 (2-12 months old), group 2 (24-72 months old), and group 3 (84 months or older). Corneas were processed for light and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed only difference in cell density between group 1 and groups 2 and 3, showing an initial decrease in cell density as the animal matured. Whereas there was significantly greater variation in cell size within the dogs in group 3 than there was within the other two groups, suggesting that there was increased polymegethism and pleomorphism with advancing age.

The female of Aguatala compsa Young is for the first time described and illustrated based on specimens from Colombia. This consists also on a new distribution record for the monotypic genus Aguatala Young. The female genitalia of A. compsa are described in detail and compared with those of supposedly related genera belonging to the Erythrogonia generic group (sensu Young). A fêmea de Aguatala compsa Young é descrita e ilustrada pela primeira vez com base em espécimes provenientes da Colômbia, consistindo em novo registro de distribuição para o gênero monotípico Aguatala Young. A genitália feminina de A. compsa é detalhadamente descrita e comparada com aquelas de gêneros supostamente próximos, pertencentes ao grupo genérico Erythrogonia (sensu Young).

A lesão, induzida com n-heptanol associado à peritomia conjuntival em 360°, foi recoberta com membrana amniótica canina, suturada à episclera perilímbica, criopreservada em meio para congelação de embrião ou em meio próprio, ambos com glicerol a 50% e mantida a -80°C. O grupo-controle não foi tratado com a membrana. As avaliações histológicas foram realizadas ao sétimo, 15º e 30º dias. Todos desenvolveram deficiência de células germinativas do limbo, denominada conjuntivalização, com presença de neovascularização, inflamação e defeitos epiteliais recorrentes, caracterizada na histopatologia pela presença de neovasos, edema, leucócitos e células caliciformes. O transplante de membrana amniótica não foi eficiente para o tratamento desta deficiência, entretanto auxiliou o processo de cicatrização da córnea. Changes related to limbal stem cells deficiency in corneal epithelium in rabbits, as well as the results of amniotic membrane transplant on the cicatrisation were evaluated. The ulcer was induced with n-heptanol associated to 360° conjunctival peritomy; the corneal surface was covered with canine amniotic membrane, sutured to perilimbal episclera, cryopreserved in embryo solution or own medium, both with 50% glycerol and stored at -80°C. The control group was not treated with membrane. Histological evaluations were performed at seven, 15, and 30 days. All of them developed limbal stem cells deficiency, named conjunctivalization, with neovascularization, inflammation and recurrent epithelial defects, observed in histopathology by the occurrence of neovascularization, edema, leukocytes and goblet cells. Thus amniotic membrane transplantation was not efficient in the treatment of limbal stem cells deficiency, however it helped in the process of cicatrisation.

The cornea is transparent layer of the eye, transmission and refraction of light being their main functions. The endothelium, one of the cornea four layers, is a hexagonal unicellular layer that forms a barrier between the stroma and aqueous humor, obstructing the entrance of water and others solutes from the anterior chamber towards the stroma. In the regard to it, a minimum density of these cells is necessary to maintain the performance and clarity of the eye visual capacity. The main objective of the present research was the determination of the density of endothelial cells and their corneal thickness, using a noncontact specular microscope, in 22 eyes from 11 ovines. The average density of the endothelial corneal was 2726 cels/mm² and the thickness 654 µm. The males displayed a higher average density and a smaller cell area than the females.

Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo envolvendo 45 cães e 19 gatos com proptose traumática do bulbo ocular. Foram estudados vários aspectos, tais como sexo, raça, idade, etiologia, tempo decorrente entre a lesão e admissão, seqüelas, além daqueles relacionados ao tratamento. O principal fator etiológico verificado entre cães foi a briga, enquanto na maioria dos gatos, a causa era desconhecida. Os cães adultos sem raça definida, seguidos pelo Pinscher, Poodle, Cocker Spaniel e Boxer foram os mais acometidos. As complicações mais comuns associadas à proptose foram ceratite ulcerativa, estrabismo, hifema, quemose, hiperemia, hemorragia de conjuntiva e periocular, ressecamento e opacidade da córnea, prolapso de terceira pálpebra, além de fratura nos ossos da face. Quinze cães e apenas 2 gatos avaliados foram submetidos ao reposicionamento do bulbo e tarsorrafia. Desses animais, somente 13 cães recuperaram a visão. Conclui-se que a precocidade na admissão dos cães influencia sobremaneira a obtenção de um prognóstico mais favorável, bem como na escolha do tratamento. Os gatos apresentam pior prognóstico em relação aos cães. Proptose in dogs and cats: retrospective analyses of 64 medical records Abstract A retrospective study of 45 dogs and 19 cats with traumatic proptosis was performed. Sex, breed-specific, age, etiologic factors, time between trauma and admission, sequels and treatment were obtained for these animals. The principal etiologic factor in dogs was fight and in cats was unknown. Mongrel dogs, Pinscher, Cocker and Boxer were the most affected breeds. The common complications were corneal ulceration, strabismus, hyphema, chemosis, hyperemia, conjunctive hemorrhage, defects in the corneal epithelium, third eyelid prolapsed and facial bone fractures. Fifteen dogs and only two cats suffered repositioning followed by tarsorrhaphy. From these animals, only thirteen dogs recovered the eye vision. In conclusion, the precocity in the admission was important for a more favorable prognosis as much as the treatment choice. The cats presented worse prognosis when compared to dogs.

A transmissão decorre da implantação de células tumorais durante o coito, brigas ou interações entre animais portadores e susceptíveis. Existem relatos referindo-se a localizações atípicas do TVT, mas metástases raramente ocorrem. O presente relato descreve um caso incomum de TVT, com acometimento intra-ocular e metástases nos linfonodos ingüinais, num cão Terrier Brasileiro, com seis anos de idade. O animal apresentava massas anormais de tecido no olho direito, extremidade do pênis e aumento de volume de linfonodos da região ingüinal. A histopatologia do globo ocular e as citologias da massa peniana e dos nódulos subcutâneos evidenciaram aspectos citológicos semelhantes, caracterizados por células redondas com núcleo grande e nucléolo proeminente localizado centralmente. O citoplasma apresentou-se pálido e com presença de vacúolos pequenos e arredondados. O diagnóstico de TVT com acometimento intra-ocular e metástases em linfonodos foi baseado nos achados clínicos, citológicos e histopatológicos. Canine transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a round cell neoplasm occurring on the external genital mucosa of male and female dogs. Transmission is by cell implantation during coitus, licking, or other interaction between an affected dog and a susceptible host. Metastasis of the tumor rarely occurs. This report describes an unusual presentation of TVT with intraocular involvement and inguinal lymph nodes metastasis. The subject was a six-year-old, intact, male, Brazilian Terrier dog with a history of abnormal masses in the right eye, penis and several subcutaneous nodules in the inguinal area. Histopathological examination of the eye specimens as well as cytologic examination of penile mass and subcutaneous nodules revealed similar findings. The examination revealed round cells containing a large nuclei with prominent, central located nucleoli and a pale cytoplasm containing few small, clear round vacuoles. Histologically, the subcutaneous nodules in the inguinal area were lymph nodes. The diagnosis of TVT with intraocular involvement and lymph nodes metastasis was based on clinical, cytologic and histopathologic findings.
