Comparative StudyParenteral nutrition versus enteral nutrition in severe acute pancreatitis.
To compare the effect of parenteral versus enteral nutritional support in severe acute pancreatitis, with respect to efficacy, safety, morbidity, mortality and length of hospitalization. ⋯ Enteral nutritional support is associated with fewer septic complications compared to parenteral nutritional support.

Evaluation of two regional anesthetic methods on the front limb of dogs using hyperbaric bupivacaine.
To evaluate the effects of bupivacaine 0.5 and 0.25% in intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) and brachial plexus block (BPB), respectively, on anesthesia, motor block and cardiovascular parameters in dogs. ⋯ In dogs the 0.25 % hyperbaric bupivacaine in BPB produces a front limb anesthesia about three times more than the 0.5 % in IVRA, with ptosis of the limb blocked and little interference in the cardiovascular system but with decrease in respiratory rate.

Systemic evaluation on ischemia and reperfusion injury of splanchnic organs in rats.
To evaluate hemodynamic and systemic changes during and after splanchnic ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). ⋯ The model of ischemia used causes systemic changes, which are evidenced by hypotension, decrease in mesenteric blood flow, heart rate and esophageal temperature.

The use of rocuronium in giant Amazon turtle Podocnemis expansa (Schweigger, 1812) (Testudines, Podocnemididae).
To determine whether rocuronium would provide safe, short-term immobilization in Podocnemis expansa. ⋯ Administration of rocuronium at dose of 0.25 to 0.5 mg/kg IM is a safe and effective adjunct to clinical proceedings or pre-anesthetics in P. expansa. Because rocuronium does not provide any analgesic or sedative effects, the duration of neuromuscular blockade without anesthesia should be minimized to avoid undue stress.
