• Abstract

  Pain is the main cause of animal suffering. It is not possible to treat pain without identifying the phenomenon, hence the importance of validated tools to guarantee a precise evaluation of pain and the qualitative and temporal effect of analgesics. Once pain is precisely evaluated, the other challenge is to search for new therapeutic strategies to provide antialgic therapy. We propose tw…

• Abstract

  Ovariosalpingohisterectomy (OSH) is the most common procedure for surgical contraception in female dogs and cats. Despite being a relatively safe, effective and inexpensive technique, trans and postoperative complications and pain related to inflammation may be observed. These complications may be minimized by the use of minimally invasive techniques and other alternative methods. In this…

• Abstract

  This clinical, prospective, pragmatic, covert, and opportunistic study, which is part of the thematic project FAPESP 2017/12815-0, will assess the interference of training in the confirmability of sedation scales, numerical scale, Short Form of the Glasgow Scale for evaluation of Acute Pain in Dogs and University of Melbourne Scale. Thirty evaluators will be selected, one of them is a res…

• Abstract

  In the last decade, it has worked to create, refine, and validate behavioral scales for pain diagnosis in felines, sheep, swine, and cattle with international cooperation originating in Brazil. Despite the very good discriminatory capacity of these instruments, they pointed out some animals with an uncertain pain diagnosis, which may be related to the asymmetry of the importance attribute…

• Abstract

  Science is a human tool that allows us to build solid, reliable and useful knowledge. Nevertheless, much of this knowledge is restricted to scientific environment, and most Brazilians are unaware about our own science and even where it is usually developed. In this scenario, although scientific findings and other issues related to the scientific field of Life Sciences naturally obtain gre…

• Abstract

  There is currently an increasing tendency in equine practice to avoid the risks of general anaesthesia by applying standing sedation protocols for procedures lasting longer than 45 to 60 minutes. The use of intravenous (IV) constant rate infusions (CRIs) is mandatory to produce steady-state plasma concentrations, avoiding the peaks and troughs associated with bolus administrations. The us…
