Full textNa prática de clínica veterinária é comum encontrar casos de ingestão de corpos estranhos, assumindo-se na maioria das vezes como um desafio no diagnóstico e tratamento, na medida em que os pacientes podem apresentar uma grande variedade de sinais clínicos inespecíficos, dependendo do tipo e localização do material ingerido, assim como o grau e a duração da obstrução no trato gastrointestinal. O cão assume-se como o animal de companhia mais propenso à ingestão de corpos estranhos, devido à indiscrição alimentar, forma de ingestão de alimentos e o fácil acesso a brinquedos e objetos. Na presença de um histórico e sinais compatíveis, esta afeção deve ser considerada em qualquer raça e idade. A abordagem clínica requer uma monitorização vigilante do paciente e a sua estabilização ao nível de possíveis desequilíbrios ácido-base e eletrolíticos, enquanto é realizado o diagnóstico através de exames laboratoriais e de imagiologia, com a finalidade de elaborar um plano terapêutico de remoção cirúrgica ou endoscópica do corpo estranho. A endoscopia como método menos invasivo, pode ser bem-sucedido na remoção de corpos estranhos localizados no esófago, estômago e porção superior do duodeno, no entanto, a cirurgia oferece resultados mais abrangentes. No pós-cirúrgico podem surgir algumas complicações associadas às características do corpo estranho ou à técnica de remoção utilizada. Geralmente o prognóstico é bom e as taxas de mortalidade são baixas. Este trabalho baseia-se numa revisão bibliográfica sobre as particularidades da abordagem clínica em corpos estranhos gastrointestinais e um estudo retrospetivo de três casos clínicos com características diferentes, que demonstram a importância de conduzir uma história completa com avaliação diagnóstica apropriada para chegar a um diagnóstico definitivo com um tratamento de remoção eficaz.
ABSTRACT- CLINICAL APPROACH TO GASTROINTESTINAL FOREIGN BODIES IN DOGS - In clinical practice it is usual to find cases of foreign body ingestion, it being assumed most times as a challenge in terms of diagnosis and treatment, insofar as patients may present a great variety of non-specific clinical signs, depending on the type and location of the ingested material, as well as the extent and duration of the obstruction. The dog is recognized as the companion animal most prone to ingest foreign bodies, due to non-discretionary eating habits, the manner in which food is ingested and the easy access to toys and other objects. When presented with a compatible history and clinical signs, this disorder should be considered in all breeds and ages. The clinical approach requires careful monitoring of the patient and prompt correction of possible electrolyte and acid-base imbalances, while diagnosis is carried out through laboratory testing and imaging, towards the development of a therapeutic plan to surgically or endoscopically remove the foreign body. Endoscopy, as the least invasive method, may be successful in the removal of foreign bodies located in the esophagus, stomach, and upper portion of the duodenum, however, surgical removal has the most comprehensive results. Post-surgical complications associated with the characteristics of the foreign body or the removal technique may arise. Generally, prognosis is good and mortality rates are low. This work presents a bibliographical review of the particulars of the clinical approach to gastrointestinal foreign bodies and a retrospective study of three clinical cases with distinct characteristics, demonstrating the importance of taking a complete history and appropriate diagnostic evaluation towards obtaining a correct diagnosis and an effective removal treatment plan.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to investigate how glanceable feedback can be implemented in activity units for dogs to create a better user experience and reduce the technological disruption in human-dog communication. Previous studies show that the development of activity units for dogs is far from as successful as activity units for humans (Ramokapane, van der Linden & Zamansky, 2019; Väätäjä et al. 2018; Zamansky et al. 2019). Väätäjä, et al. (2018) have pointed out the importance of the technology behind the activity, such as the mobile phone, unit not coming between the dog owner and the dog. It must not act as a disturbance that distances communication or interaction between dog and human (Väätäjä et al. 2018). This is inevitable in today's activity units for dogs as the user is completely dependent on the mobile phone's associated application (Väätäjä et al. 2018). The question (How can glanceable feedback be applied in an activity unit for dogs to give the dog owner direct information on the dog's activity?) Investigates how glanceable feedback can be applied in activity units for dogs and avoid that communication between dog and owner is disturbed by technology. The result is the Good Boy activity unit. The unit is equipped with a display and a mechanical wheel that switches between the different categories distance / step, pulse / body temperature, info /contact information and LED/lamp.

Full textWhen addressing their dogs, owners often use a special speech register called pet-directed-speech. This communication modality is very similar to infant-directed-speech used by parents when speaking to young children, which suggests common bases. These two types of speech share characteristics that differ from those of adult-directed-speech, such as a higher fundamental frequency and greater modulations. A series of experiments carried out at the National Veterinary School of Alfort allowed us to explore how pet-directed-speech occurs in the human-dog interaction. The first chapter shows that acoustic and verbal features of pet-directed-speech vary according to the interaction context. The second chapter aims to highlight how dogs process human vocal information; overall, our results reveal a right hemispheric advantage. The third chapter indicates that pet-directed-speech increases significantly dogs’ attentional state. This phenomenon is not perceived by human observers, as it is shown in chapter four. Together, these studies which mainly focused on pet-directed-speech bring to light the complexity of the human-dog communication

The aims of this research are manifold; namely to identify the relationships between and among extracurricular activity participation, BMI and self-perception of sixth graders. Each of 397 sixth graders from Tainan Municipal Haidong Elementary School was given a questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed together with information regarding body size using SPSS 12.0 software, including descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis. The major findings of this research are as follows: 1.Most students’ BMI meets the standard requirement; however, more boys than girls are overweight or obese. 2.Boys, in general, have a more positive image of their bodies. 3.Students who join in sports-oriented extracurricular clubs tend to have a higher opinion of their appearance and self-image, while those who join in recreational extracurricular clubs care less about their appearance and body size, showing poorer self-perception of their body image. 4.Students with a proper body size feel more confident in their own body image. Striking differences and correlations between their BMI and self-perception are found. 5.It was also found that gender difference and sexual maturity are correlated with BMI and self-perception. Keywords: extracurricular activity, BMI, self-perception, body image

Many researches have already been demonstrated the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Physical Fitness performance in Taiwan and overseas. However, most of the studies used cross-section data to present the relations between the BMI and Physical Fitness of students in each school year. Those may not show longitudinal changes in different school year. Therefore, the analysis of panel data was preceded in this research. The participants and data were adopted from parts of departments in Dong-Wu Vocational School, Chia-yi. Besides, the interval was among 101, 102, and 103 school year. There were overall 436 students (149 male, 287 female) after deduction and withdrawing. Physical fitness score in this research included Modified Sit & Reach Test, Bent-Knee Sit-up Test, Hexathlon Test and Cardiopulmonary Endurance Run & Walk. The samplings were divided into 3 groups: all samplings, 149 male students, and 287 female students. Those groups at 10th-12th grade were separately analyzed by regression analysis. As the result of regression analysis, negative correlation was shown between BMI and Hexathlon Test in group all sampling and group male students. The stronger lower limb power is, the lower score BMI shows. In addition, BMI and Cardiopulmonary Endurance Run & Walk of 800m and 1600m have presented positive correlation. Therefore, poor performance students in Cardiopulmonary Endurance Run had higher score in BMI. For the female sampling, when they get older, BMI has significant effects in Cardiopulmonary Endurance Run & Walk. But other physical fitness tests have no definitely results in BMI.

Aim The present RCT clinical study is to evaluate the effects of Sha-Sheng-Mai-Dong-Tang in the head & neck cancer patients receiving the radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We are going to assess the clinical evaluation among the serum cooper, zinc, and selenium during treatment, and to estimate the quality of life (EORTC: QLQ-C30) and body constitution (BCQ) during the period of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the basis of Chinese Medicine Theory. Method There were 70 patients entered to our clinical trial. 42 cases have completed course and were analyzed included 22 cases of experimental group and 20 cases of control group. Experimental group were treated with Sha-Sheng-Mai-Dong-Tang where control group were treated with 1/10 Sha-Sheng-Mai-Dong-Tang. Result 1.In the respect of quality of life, experimental group had significantly better quality of life in health function(p=0.026), fatigue(p=0.019), nausea and vomiting(p=0.011), dyspnea(p=0.021), and whole quality of life(p=0.016) compared with control group. 2.The analysis of Serum Cu, Zn, and Se in experimental group, compared with control group, experimental group was on the downside in serum cooper (p<0.001)and had a trend of escalation in serum zinc and selenium(both p<0.001). 3.In the respect of body constitution, experimental group gave better score than control in Yang-Xu(p=0.004), Ying-Xu(p=0.013), phlegm stagnates(p=0.047), and whole body constitution(p=0.005) in post-test.
