Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Comparative Exercise between Patients from the BYPASS Registry and Patients from a University Hospital.
Braz J Cardiovasc Surg
August 2023
Introduction: The coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) data provided by the Brazilian Registry of Cardiovascular Surgeries in Adults (BYPASS) Registry is a Brazilian reality.
Objective: To carry out a comparative exercise between the BYPASS Registry published data and data from patients operated on in a randomly chosen period (2013-2015) at Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (HCFMRP-USP).
Methods: This is a retrospective study reviewing 173 electronic medical records of CABG patients from the HCFMRP-USP.
Characterization of uterine involution using B-mode ultrasonography, color Doppler and elastography (acoustic radiation force impulse) for assessing postpartum in Santa Inês ewes.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on using ultrasonography techniques to examine how the uterus returns to its normal state (involution) after giving birth, conducting evaluations immediately after birth and every 48 hours for 30 days.
- - Findings showed that while the overall texture of the uterus remained consistent, echogenicity (brightness) increased and total uterine diameter significantly decreased, especially in the first few days postpartum.
- - This research is groundbreaking as it provides baseline data on the stiffness of the uterine wall in healthy ewes, which could help in early diagnosis of uterine problems during the postpartum period.
Maternal and fetal ultrasonography, vulvar temperature and vaginal mucous impedance for the prediction of parturition in Saanen does.

April 2023
The aim of this study was to evaluate and correlate modifications of vaginal mucous impedance, vulvar temperature and ultrasonographic measurements (echobiometric parameters) to parturition in pregnant Saanen does. 30 does were selected for the study and submitted to an estrus synchronization protocol and natural mating. The females were evaluated daily from Day 143 of pregnancy to parturition.

Objective: This study aimed to raise IE data reflecting the surgical therapy in a University Hospital in the interior of the State of Sao Paulo-Brazil.
Method: Retrospective and observational approach of 328 patients with IE who underwent surgery between 1982 and 2020.
In vivo embryo development in bitches inseminated laparoscopically after ovulation time estimated based on a single progesterone determination.

March 2023
Logistic and economical limitations are often the causes of dog owners not accurately monitoring the estrous cycle and the optimal insemination time. The aim of this study was to evaluate early embryonic development in bitches, after the analysis of sequential vaginal cytologies associated to single progesterone measurement and single laparoscopic insemination with high quality semen (fresh and with high spermatozoa concentration) or low-quality semen (frozen/thawed and with low spermatozoa concentration) at 48 h post- ovulation time predicted on a single progesterone measurement. Ten bitches were inseminated with 250 x 10 fresh spermatozoa (80% motility), and ten with 80 x 10 frozen/thawed spermatozoa (60% motility) in the cranial part of each uterine horn.
