Relatório de estágio curricular supervisionado em medicina veterinária - área de patologia veterinária

Abstract

The Supervised Curricular Internship in Veterinary Medicine (ECSMV) was held at the Veterinary Pathology Sector (SPV) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), from August 3 to October 28, 2015, making up the workload of 488 hours, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Bruno Leite dos Anjos and supervision by Prof. Dr. David Driemeier. The sector consists of a team of 3 teachers, 31 students and 5 employees. The SPV is one of the main entities and is considered one of the national references for diagnosis and research in the area of ​​animal pathology. The activities developed at the institution aim at research, teaching and extension based on the diagnosis of diseases of domestic and wild animals. In the teaching area, courses are offered for undergraduate and graduate courses. In addition to these activities, the laboratory basically acts in the diagnosis through necropsy, histopathological, cytological, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and molecular analysis by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in domestic and wild animals. The internship comprised a total of 488 hours with a workload of 40 hours per week. During the internship period, 277 necropsy exams, 1165 anatomopathological exams, including samples from experimental animals, PCR and IHC were also performed. Two diagnoses will be described and their main aspects will be discussed in greater detail. Trema micranta poisoning in horses and an outbreak of histomoniasis in chukar partridges (Alectoris chuckar) will be addressed. In addition to these two reports, a brief review of round cell tumors in dogs and cats will be presented, due to the high percentage of small animals affected by these neoplasms in the diagnostic routine. The ECSMV at the SPV provided a great professional growth, reaching the desired goals of this stage, making me more sure that I made the right decision to choose veterinary medicine as a future professional and veterinary pathology as an area of ​​expertise.
