13. Serum and Urinary C-Reactive Protein Concentrations in Dogs with Leptospirosis
Background: Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease caused by pathogenic strains of Leptospira, which may affect human beings and a wide range of both domestic and wild animals. The disease in dogs is still a challenge for clinicians, since definitive diagnosis may be reached only few days after overt clinical signs. Besides that, dogs with leptospiruria have z

14. 15d-PGJ2 modulates acute immune responses to Trypanosoma cruzi infection
The acute phase of Trypanosoma cruzi infection is associated with a strong inflammatory reaction in the heart characterised by a massive infiltration of immune cells that is dependent on the T. cruzi strain and the host response. 15d-PGJ2 belongs to a new class of anti-inflammatory compounds with possible clinical applications. We evaluated the effects of 15

15. Study of antinociceptive and antiinflammatory monoterpene a,b-epoxy-carvone and its effect on glutamatergic neurotransmission. / Estudo da atividade antinociceptiva e anti-inflamatória do monoterpeno a,b-Epoxi-carvona e seu efeito sobre a neurotransmissão glutamatérgica
The a, b-epoxy-carvone (EC) monoterpene is found in many essential oils from plants, but can also be obtained through organic synthesis from the R-(-)-carvone. Previous studies have demonstrated that this compound exerts depressant effect on central nervous system (CNS), and is also known to have anticonvulsant effects, antioxidant and antimicrobial activiti

16. Diagnosis of Chagas disease: what has been achieved? What remains to be done with regard to diagnosis and follow up studies?
In the acute phase and in the chronic forms of Chagas disease, the etiological diagnosis may be performed by detection of the parasite using direct or indirect parasitological methods and by the presence of antibodies in the serum by way of serological tests. Several techniques are easily available, ranging from the simplest wet smear preparation to immuno-e

17. Hyperglycemia during acute myocardial infarction: pathophysiology correlations / Hiperglicemia no infarto agudo do miocárdio: correlações fisiopatológicas
Introduction- Hyperglycemia (HG) is an important prognostic factor in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the pathophysiology is poorly understood. So we proposed a simultaneous correlation between glycemia and biochemical markers of stress, glucose and lipid metabolism, coagulation and inflammation system. Methods- Eighty AMI patients were included

18. Evaluation of C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A in the detection of inflammatory and infectious diseases in children / Avaliação de marcadores de fase aguda em crianças atendidas em um serviço de urgencia
Introduction: the acute-phase response consists of a complex network of events involving various cells and pro anti-inflammatory mediators. The clinical diagnosis of this condition is not always easily obtained. The performance of several markers of the acute response is constantly evaluated in different groups of diseases, aiming to optimize the diagnosis a

19. Avaliação postural da coluna lombar, dos membros inferiores, e análise da força reação do solo em adolescentes usuárias de calçados de salto alto / Posture assessment of the lumbar spine, lower limbs, and analysis of ground reaction force in adolescent users of high-heeled shoe
During childhood and adolescence, there are several posture changes depending on the settings necessary for the structuring and definition of posture. The posture change because of the hormonal influence that occurs with the onset of puberty and the musculoskeletal growth. Thus, the pre pubertal and pubertal stages are crucial for the development of good pos

20. Avaliação dos marcadores da resposta inflamatoria aguda em cães / Evaluation of acute inflammatory response markers in dogs
Introdução: A leucocitose e a presença de hipertermia são os indicadores primários de inflamação/infecção sistêmica na maioria das espécies animais. Em cães as alterações leucocitárias podem ser evidenciadas em 72 horas, enquanto a elevação sérica das proteínas de fase aguda e a velocidade de hemossedimentação ocorrem mais precocemente s

21. Papel da heme-oxigenase na ação da peçonha de Bothrops jararacussu / Role of heme oxygenase in the action of Bothrops jararacussusnake venom
Heme-oxygenase (HO) is an enzyme involved in the degradation of heme groups that results in the formation of biliverdin IX, iron and carbon monoxide. At low concentrations, these reaction products have anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and anti-thrombotic activities, whereas at high concentrations they can cause hypoxia, neurological dam

22. Rapid test for the evaluation of the activity of the prodrug hydroxymethylnitrofurazone in the processing of Trypanosoma cruzi messenger RNAs
No fully effective treatment has been developed since the discovery of Chagas' disease by Carlos Chagas in 1909. Since drug-resistant Trypanosoma cruzi strains are occurring and the current therapy is effectiveness in the acute phase but with various adverse side effects, more studies are needed to characterize the susceptibility of T. cruzi to new drugs. Ma

23. Schizodeme analysis of Trypanosoma cruzi Colombian strain clones isolated from the acute phase of murine infection
Colombian strain of Trypanosoma cruzi, biodeme Type III (T. cruzi I), has been cloned by micromanipulation at two phases of the acute infection: early (10 days ) and advanced (30 days). Twelve clones were obtained therefrom. Characterization by their biological and biochemical behavior showed an identity among the several clones and their parental strain, al

24. Detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in sera samples of mice experimentally infected
Detection of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) DNA in blood can help to diagnose the disease in its acute phase; however, it must be considered that hemoglobin, present in blood, can inhibit polymerase activity, making impracticable the detection of DNA in samples. Mice were experimentally infected via oral route with ME49 and BTU2 strains cysts and RH strain ta
