    (2011-04) Santos, Hugo Campos Oliveira; Tacon, Kelly Cristina Borges; Cunha, Luiz Carlos da; Castro, Eduardo Camelo de; Amaral, Waldemar Naves do
    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain and inflam- mation represent fundamental pathophysiological process- es to eliminate the injurious stimuli to the living organism. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the reference product Feldene®, (FLX) with a similar prod- uct for the treatment of acute sensory pain induced in mice. METHOD: Pre-clinical testing with 18 female albino mice (Mus musculus) Swiss-Webster variety, young and healthy, were divided into 3 groups of 6 animals each, to evaluate the analgesic effect of piroxicam, comparing the reference products and similar. The treatment consisted of 1mg/kg for groups A: piroxicam reference, B: control (placebo-vehicle) and C: similar to piroxicam (FLX). Af- ter 1h of treatment administration, was given 0.6% acetic acid (0.1 mL/10g) by i.p. and the counting of contortions for 30 minutes. Data were expressed as means and standard deviations of means. RESULTS: There was a significant difference in the number of contortions to the reference product 15.50 ± 3.50, 26.67 ± 7.87 similar products, compared to 146.83 ± 8.82 placebo. We noted the reduction in the number of contortions when compared to the reference product (90%) with similar product (82%). We considered p < 0.05 significant difference (Tukey test). CONCLUSION: As expected, the piroxicam proved effective to control the writhing. The reference product showed the best results obtained since a smaller number of contortions and its average was considerable when compared to the like product.

    Importância da ultrassonografia no diagnóstico da apendicite
    (2010) Bordones, Gregorio Henrique Silva; Amaral, Waldemar Naves do; Amaral Filho, Waldemar Naves do
    Appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdomen. This pathology is the most common nontraumatic emergency abdominal surgery. The abdominal ultrasound is of diagnostic imaging that shows every day, technological advances, particularly with regard to linear and convex transducers, determining safety and ease in diagnosis of diseases in hollow viscera. This study aims to assess the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of appendicitis in examinations at the First Aid Airton Rocha - Boa Vista - Roraima. Of the 80 ultrasound scans carried out by ultrasound 24 were positive and 56 were negative. The ages of patients ranged 13-72 years, mean age 29 years and prevalence of female patients being 47 women and 33 men.

    (2014-03) Sousa, Flávio Henrique Caetano de; Grandi, Flavia Tandaya; Souza, Jaqueline Nogueira de; Mikael, Luana de Rezende; Schelle, Pâmella Deuzila de Oliveira; Amaral, Waldemar Naves do
    OBJECTIVES: To establish the prevalence of renal pathologies seen at the ultrasound examination and the most common ultrasonographic findings in patients with abdominal pain. METHODOLOGY: 934 ultrasound examinations were reviewed from patients with abdominal pain as a major complaint performed between July 2010 and July 2013. RESULTS: The most common findings were renal atrophy, renal cysts, cysts with gallstones, hydronephrosis, hydronephrosis with lithiasis and lithiasis. Around sixty percent of the exams were done in women and 39, 8 % in men. Abdominal pain due to renal pathologies were seen in 335 exams and 599 had abdominal pain related to other causes. Considering the age, its vary from one to 84 years old. Lithiasis was the most prevalent finding in the renal pathologies cases with a size range of 04 to 9 mm, followed by hydronephrosis with lightweight rankings in 90 cases. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of renal pathologies in patients with abdominal pain was 35, 9%. The most common ultrasound findings were renal lithiasis (46, 9%), followed by hydronephrosis (26, 86%) and moderate hydronephrosis and renal cysts (14, 62%).
