Fluid Heating System (SAF): effects on clinical and biochemistry parameters in dogs submitted to inhalatory anesthesia.

Purpose: To evaluate and describe immediate effects of the infusion of saline solution heated by SAF in bitches submitted to halothane anesthesia.

Methods: Thirteen bitches were employed and submitted to elective ovariohysterectomy in acclimatized operating room at 22 degrees C, allocated in two groups: GI, which received non-heated fluid and GII, which received fluid heated at 37 degrees C by SAF. The following parameters were evaluated in 30-minutes intervals (M0, M30, M60 and M90): rectal and cutaneous temperatures (TR and TC), cardiac and respiratory frequencies (HR and ), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), serum concentration of urea, creatinin, serum activities of alanin aminotranspherasis (ALT), alkaline phosphatasis (ALP) and also hypnosis parameters.

[Seringueira's latex membrane (Hevea brasiliensis) with and without polylysine 0.1% and marlex mesh for the reconstruction of iatrogenics abdominal wall defects in rats].

Purpose: To compare seringueira latex membrane implant, with and without polylysine at 0.1% and marlex mesh on the repair of iatrogenic abdominal defects in rats.

Methods: A circular segment block of approximate three centimeters of diameter was sectioned out of the ventral abdominal muscle wall of 31 Wistar rats.
