El estudio tuvo como objetivo describir los cambios morfopatológicos en proventrículo de patos silvestres (Anas discors) infestados con Tetrameres americana. Se realizó la necropsia a 89 cadáveres de patos adultos procedentes de Pinar del Río, Cuba, y se tomó un fragmento de 1 cm2 de 22 proventrículos con diagnóstico clínico de proventriculitis parasitaria para el estudio histopatológico. Los órganos se colectaron para su análisis parasitológico, clasificando las proventriculitis en leve y severa, según la cantidad de glándulas comprometidas con el nematodo y la magnitud del exudado catarral. El 25% (22/89) de las aves presentó proventriculitis catarral con presencia de T. americana, donde el 73% de los casos fue considerado como leve. Se observó erosión de la mucosa, degeneración con necrosis y formación de nódulos de 1 cm de diámetro en la yema glandular. Se concl...

The aim of this study was to describe the morphopathological changes in proventriculus of wild ducks (Anas discors) infested with Tetrameres americana. Necropsy to 89 cadavers of adult ducks from Pinar del Río, Cuba, was performed. Samples of 1 cm2 from 22 proventriculi diagnosed with parasitic proventriculitis were taken for the histopathological study. All proventriculi ducts were collected for parasitological analysis and the lesions were classified as mild and severe according to the amount of glands affected with the nematode and the magnitude of catarrhal exudate. The results showed that 25% (22/89) of the ducks had proventriculitis caused by T. americana where 73% of the cases was considered as mild. Mucosal erosion, degeneration with necrosis and formation of nodules of 1 cm of diameter in the glandular yolk were observed. It is concluded that infestation with T. americana cause...

Congenital heart diseases such as cor triatriatum sinister have a very low incidence in veterinary medicine and with very few cases in canines, unlike felines. It is reported the case of a three-year-old mixed-breed male dog that was presented to the clinic with progressive respiratory difficulty, and which had been diagnosed as a possible diaphragmatic hernia or pleural effusion. During the clinical evaluation, a heart murmur was detected, so after the stabilization of respiratory distress, echocardiography was performed among other tests, finding the following pathologies: cor triatriatum sinister, pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect and tricuspid valve insufficiency; therefore. Medical treatment with diltiazem, sildenafil, and furosemide was instituted. Two months after diagnosis, the patient was stable according to the owners’ reports; however, they did not agree to perfo...

The aim of this study was to determine the presence of serum antibodies against four respiratory pathogens (avian influenza [AI], Newcastle disease [NDV], avian infectious bronchitis [IBV] and avian infectious laryngotracheitis [ILT]) that could affect migratory aquatic and resident birds of three high Andean lagoons of Ecuador. Blood samples (n=153) were collected from birds of seven species in the Andean lagoons of Colta, Yambo and Yahuarcocha. The presence of antibodies (Ab) against IBV and ILT was detected by an indirect ELISA (ELISAi) and by the haemagglutination inhibition test (HI); and NDV and avian influenza (H5N1 and H7N3) were detected by an ELISAc and HI. Seropositivity to NDV was 3.2% (5/153), with three cases in Yahuarcocha in the Neotropical cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus), one case in Colta in the Andean coot (Fulica ardesiaca) and one in Yambo in the Andean reddish...

The development of language is closely linked to the general psychological evolution, so that its acquisition is immersed within the psychic world of the individual; However, language development is also linked to a progressive neuropsychological evolution, following complex processes that depend on the degree of maturation and physiology of the organism, on the one hand, and the socio-cultural environment on the other.   This complicated cognitive process, and at the same time of a modular nature, is affected by a series of language disorders that involve a large group of pathologies with extremely diverse characteristics and etiologies, which may persist in some cases, throughout life; However, its symptoms, manifestations, effects and degree of severity will depend on a complex network of factors that interact over time. Therefore it is important to highlight that in the case of ...

Was performed at the Hospital of Integrated Support Tarapoto descriptive, longitudinal, prospective, analytical study to determine the frequency of postpartum hemorrhage associated factors, causes and determine the average volume impacts hemodynamics of the mother. They took full term pregnant women, excluding patients with medical and obstetric complications. 399 cases were recorded, with an average volume of blood loss was 543.45 cc., Found 44.1% of cases with post-partum hemorrhage, the volume of 1259.23 cc., Which impact on the hemodynamics of the patient. The associated risk factors were prolonged labor, time delivery and fetal weight. The causes of bleeding were associated with dissociated membranes (44.74%), lethargy / hypotonia uterine (28.95%), retained placenta (18.42%), cervical laceration (5.26%) and third degree laceration (2.63%). Finally, the linear correlation analysis sh...
