The aim of this study was to assess postoperative pain from elective ovariohysterectomy or orchiectomy surgery in 66 felines (41 females and 25 males), using the UNESP-Botucatu multidimensional pain scale with emphasis on subscale 1 and 2. The analgesic protocol used included meloxicam 0.05 mg/kg and tramadol 3 mg/kg plus ketamine 10 mg/kg IV induction and maintenance at 5 mg/kg. The evaluation was carried out when the felines were without anesthetic effect and could reliably manifest behavioral disturbances indicative of pain associated with surgery. Pain assessments were conducted by two observers. The results showed that 89.4% of patients presented mild postoperative pain and 10.6% moderate pain. Moreover, 87.8% of females (36/41) and 92% of males (23/25) showed mild pain. None showed severe pain. The use of multidimensional scales like UNESP-Botucatu are key to adjust post-surgical a...

Se denominan Recursos Energéticos Renovables en el Perú (RER ) , a aquellas fuentes de energía: solar fotovoltaica , eólica , biomasa y aquellas de generación hidroeléctrica con una potencia efectiva menor a 20 MW , y a través del DECRETO LEGISLATIVO N° 1002‐2008 se establece que el 5% de la máxima demanda del SEIN debe ser cubierto con generación de energía RER. En el presente informe se determina la influencia de las Centrales de Generación de Energía RER en la oferta de generación, para la cual se realiza un análisis de la oferta, máxima demanda y reserva efectiva y firme de generación actual y su comportamiento estadístico. Seguidamente se identifican las características de los proyectos de generación con RER y se determinan sus costos de inversión y costos variables de operación, en función a las 4 subastas realizadas en el Perú. Luego se determina el compo...

The aim of this study was to establish the seroprevalence of infection of the feline leukemia virus (ViLeF) and the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in serum samples from felines evaluated with suspected retroviral infection in veterinary centres of the municipalities of Pereira, Dosquebradas and Santa Rosa de Cabal, department of Risaralda, Colombia and sent to the EjeLab Laboratory. A retrospective study was carried out on the results of serology with a commercial kit for immunochromatography (Bionote®) between March 2017 and July 2018. The age, breed and sex of the animals were documented. In total, 388 samples were analysed, being 18.3% (71) positive for FIV and 25.8% (100) positive for ViLeF. Retroviral coinfection was observed in 8.2% (32) of the animals.

Insufficient food production and low incomes are common problems in developing countries, thus perpetuating malnutrition and poverty conditions; establishing food security as an indicator of great impact to estimate the quality of life of families. The objective of this study was to assess the level of food security, nutritional status and socioeconomic status of families in an urban community. 155 families from an urban community of Naguanagua, Carabobo state, Venezuela were evaluated during the months August-September 2018. An ad hoc clinical history was designed, the Household Food Insecurity (FI) Scale was applied, the nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR); as well as the socioeconomic status (Graffar-Méndez Castellano and the Poverty Threshold). 58.1% of families presented mild FI. 19.5% of the ...
