In order to determine the electrocardiographic parameters of Sapajus libidinosus after intramuscular tiletamine‐zolazepam administration at dose 5 mg/kg, nine animals were submitted anesthesia. Methods The interpretation electrocardiogram determined: heart rate bpm rhythm, P wave, P‐R interval, R QRS complex,...

RESUMO O presente estudo avaliou a influência do regime hídrico sobre efeitos propofol em Phrynops geoffroanus, bem como qualidade da contenção farmacológica produzida. Foram utilizados 10 animais, anestesiados dois momentos com propofol, na dose de 35mg/kg, por via intracelomática, intervalo 15 dias. grupo 1 fora retirado água 12 horas antes procedimento e o 2 permaneceu dentro até momento indução anestésica. mensuradas frequência cardíaca, pressão arterial sistólica, temperatura,...

Abstract Background The aim of study was to evaluate the efficacy supraclavicular brachial plexus block technique in Sapajus libidinosus . Methods Were used eight animals, which were sedated, anesthetized, kept under hypnosis, and submitted using a neurolocalizer. physiological parameters, nociception response threshold (mA), evaluated before after block. electrical stimulation cutaneous sensitivity evaluated. groups compared by Tukey or Friedman test at 5%. Results promoted blockage plexus,...

Abstract The knowledge of anatomy and imaging exams emerges as an important tool in the study evolutionary processes a species, elaboration diagnosis, successful choice appropriate clinical surgical procedures. Therefore, this aims to describe osteology hind limb Sapajus libidinosus by means gross, radiographic, tomographic images. Four cadavers were used macroscopic analysis five animals for exams, which four eventually euthanized added study. For they kept anesthetized. All bones...

The Craniometric and Prosoprometric study is of great value to establish data that may become a key identification the species. Morphometric descriptive psittacine skulls are scarce in literature. present aimed describe main bones measures skull "Blue-winged parrotlet" (Forpus xanthopterygius). Two heads adult specimens, one male female, were donated by Paraíba Wild Animals Triage Center (CETAS - PB). These subjected maceration identification, characterization measurement structures...

Abstract Comparative anatomy the basis for studies of evolution, and radiographic tomographic aspects, as auxiliary methods in investigation anatomical particularities, reinforce evolutionary research. Therefore, aim this study was to describe vertebrae, sternum, ribs capuchin monkey ( Sapajus libidinosus ) by means dissection images. To purpose, four cadavers were used analysis five living animals imaging exams. The bones described compared with data from other primates species found...

As rodovias causam inúmeros impactos sobre o ambiente natural. Nesse sentido verificação dos fatores de risco acerca das colisões veículos com animais é primordial para a criação estratégias prevenção. Apenas dois trabalhos foram publicados mamíferos silvestres atropelados na Paraíba. Diante disso, se fez necessário levantamento dados atropelamentos destes animas nas estradas paraibanas. O trabalho foi conduzido num trecho 134 Km que cortam interior da Paraíba entre setembro 2017 e agosto...

Background: In captivity, capuchin monkeys compete for space and rank. Fights can result in traumas, especially to the limbs, requiring interventions that are often outpatient. Local anesthesia as a tool these procedures, an aid chemical restraint, is very relevant small outpatient surgeries, or even pain relief. Knowledge of peripheral nerve anatomy essential perform local anesthesia. Thus objective present study was determine, by anatomical studies brachial plexus region, best access...

Background: Brown-throated sloths are mammals of the order Xenarthra, suborder Pilosa, family Bradypodidae. These folivorous and arboreal animals, which possess a peculiar type quadrupedalism, move through forest canopy by means suspensory locomotion. On ground, their extremely slow movements make them easy targets for road accidents, often leading to serious injury or even death. This paper describes forelimb muscles brown-throated sloth (Bradypus variegatus), updating literature on subject...
