Pasteurella multocida é o agente causador de muitas doenças de importância econômica em medicina veterinária e tem sido descrita como um agente de alto potencial zoónotico. No Brasil, ao contrário do que se observa na literatura internacional, informações sobre a frequência deste agente em animais de companhia como cães, gatos e coelhos são inexistentes. O presente estudo teve como proposta isolar cepas de Pasteurella multocida a partir de cães, gatos e coelhos, avaliar a freqüência deste agente nestas espécies animais, caracterizar os isolados de acordo com o tipo capsular e genes codificadores de fatores de virulência através da reação em cadeia pela polimerase, avaliar o perfil de resistência a antimicrobianos dos isolados obtidos e caracterizar as amostras através da PFGE. Foram examinados 640 animais, sendo 191 gatos, 309 cães e 140 coelhos. Dentre os animais examinados 8,1% foram positivos para o isolamento de P. multocida, sendo 10,4% dos gatos, 0,9% dos cães e 20,7% dos coelhos avaliados. Dentre as 93 cepas selecionadas 22,5% foram sensíveis a todas as drogas testadas, 77,4% das cepas foram resistentes a pelo menos uma droga utilizada e 5,3% foram apresentavam resistência a três ou mais drogas. Através da PFGE foram observados 39 pulsotipos com índice discriminatório igual a 0,97. Todos os genes codificadores de fatores de virulência foram detectados em pelo menos um isolado, sendo que nenhum destes esteve presente em 100% das cepas avaliadas. / Pasteurella multocida is the causative agent of many diseases of economic importance in veterinary medicine and has been described as an agent a high zoonotic potential. In Brazil, contrary to what is observed in the international literature, information about the frequency of this agent in animals such as dogs, cats and rabbits are nonexistent. This study proposes isolate strains of Pasteurella multocida from dogs, cats and rabbits, evaluate the frequency of this agent in these animal species, characterize the isolates according to the capsular type, and genes encoding virulence factors through the reaction polymerase chain, evaluate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of isolates and characterize the samples by PFGE. We examined 640 animals, 191 cats, 309 dogs and 140 rabbits. Among the animals examined were positive 8.1% for the isolation of P. multocida, and 10.4% of cats, dogs 0.9% and 20.7% of the rabbits studied. Among the 93 selected strains 22.5% were susceptible to all drugs tested, 77.4% of strains were resistant to at least one drug were used and 5.3% showed resistance to three or more drugs. Through PFGE were observed 39 pulsotipos discriminatory index equal to 0.97. All genes encoding virulence factors were detected in at least one isolated, none of which was present in 100% of the strains evaluated.

This study was concerned with reducing children's anticipatory anxiety when entering mental health services for the first time. The purpose of this study was to determine whether combining two effective modalities, play therapy and animal-assisted therapy, would be effective in decreasing children's biobehavioral measurements of anxiety. Specifically, this study examined the effects of the presence of a trained therapy dog during one individual 30-minute play therapy session. The experimental group consisted of 26 children who received one individual 30-minute play therapy session with the presence of a trained therapy dog. The comparison group consisted of 25 children who received one individual 30-minute play therapy session without the presence of a trained therapy dog. The SenseWear® PRO 2 armband monitor measured children's biobehavioral measurements such as galvanic skin response, temperature, and activity level (BodyMedia, Inc., Pittsburgh , PA , www.bodymedia.com). The Tanita 6102 Cardio® digital heart rate monitor measured children's pre-treatment and post-treatment heart rates (Tanita Corporation of America, Inc., Arlington Heights , IL , www.tanita.com). Five hypotheses were tested using repeated measures ANOVA with mixed factors and eta squared. All five hypotheses in this study were retained based on statistical significance at the .05 level. The combination of child-centered play therapy (CCPT) and animal-assisted therapy was shown to have little practical significance in decreasing children's first 5-minute biobehavioral measurements, middle 5-minute biobehavioral measurements, last 5-minute biobehavioral measurements as measured by the SenseWear Pro 2 armband monitor. The combination of CCPT and animal-assisted therapy was shown to have little practical significance in decreasing children's pre-treatment and post-treatment heart rate. The results of the two factor repeated measures analysis of variance with mixed factors were not statistically significant. Although, research has shown that play therapy is an effective modality in reducing children's anxiety over time, children's anticipatory anxiety was increased in the first 30-minutes of play therapy with or without the presence of a trained therapy dog. Anticipatory anxiety may have been due to the children experiencing a novel and unfamiliar situation, entering the play therapy room with a stranger, the non-structured environment of the play therapy room, or a first interaction with the armband monitor.

En la actualidad, las mascotas se han convertido en un integrante más de la familia y su muerte es dolorosa pero inevitable. Hay un incremento de familias que buscan perpetuar, a través de la cremación, el recuerdo de aquel ser que les brindo un amor incondicional. En Lima Metropolitana, aproximadamente el 60% de hogares (1.37 millones) tiene alguna mascota en casa, destacando los perros con un 74% y los gatos un 39%. Debido al crecimiento inmobiliario, estas familias y sus mascotas viven en departamentos o conjuntos habitacionales y no está permitido enterrar en los jardines a sus mascotas. El objetivo de nuestro proyecto es crear un servicio integral de cremación de mascotas que brinde soporte logístico y emocional a las familias durante este proceso de despedida que es tan sensible para ellos. Este servicio integral incluye traslado de familiares desde sus domicilios hacia el velatorio y viceversa, un lugar confortable mientras esperan la urna con diseño personalizado con las cenizas de su mascota, certificado de cremación, grupos de apoyo y visitas a albergues. Para la puesta en marcha del proyecto es necesaria una inversión inicial de S/ 253,741.00, con un financiamiento del 40% con préstamo bancario y un 60% con aporte de los accionistas, donde se estima que el periodo de recuperación de capital será de un año aproximadamente. Por lo que concluimos que, de acuerdo con el estudio realizado, el proyecto Patitas del Recuerdo es económicamente viable. / Currently, pets have become another member of the family and their death is painful but inevitable. There is an increase in families seeking to perpetuate through cremation, the memory of the being that gave them unconditional love. In Lima Metropolitana, approximately 60% of households (1.37 million) have some pets at home, dogs with 74% and cats 39%. Due to the growth of real estate, these families and their pets live in apartments or housing complexes and it is not allowed to bury their pets in the gardens. The goal of our project is to create a comprehensive pet cremation service that provides logistical and emotional support to families during this farewell process that is so sensitive to them. This comprehensive service includes moving family members from their homes to the wake and vice versa, a comfortable place while waiting for the custom-designed urn with their pet's ashes, cremation certificate, support groups and visits to pet shelter. For the start-up of the project, an initial investment of S / 253,741.00 is necessary, with a financing of 40% with bank loan and 60% with contribution from shareholders, where it is estimated that the capital recovery period will be one year approximately. Therefore, we conclude that, according to the study carried out, the Patitas del Recuerdo project is economically viable. / Trabajo de investigación

El objetivo principal del presente trabajo de investigación es evaluar la deseabilidad, factibilidad y viabilidad de la propuesta de un plan de negocio para la venta de comida BARF (comida cruda biológicamente apropiada, por sus siglas en inglés) para perros domésticos. Nuestra propuesta parte de la existencia de una creciente demanda de alimentos saludables para las mascotas, la cual está lineada a la tendencia de buscar nuevas alternativas de alimentación saludable para las propias personas y su entorno. Se busca fundamentalmente disminuir el riesgo de enfermedades y contar con una vida longeva para las mascotas. Adicionalmente, los últimos años ha existido un incremento continuo del gasto en el cuidado de las mascotas y del número de mascotas por hogar, ambas tendencias han creado el concepto de doglovers. Partiendo de estas premisas, se realizó un análisis económico para estimar la viabilidad de este plan de negocio, el cual resulta coherente con la realidad del mercado objetivo, generando márgenes de ganancia adecuados y sustentables en el tiempo. / The main objective of this research work is to evaluate the desirability, feasibility and opportunity of the proposal of a business plan for the sale of BARF (biologically appropriate raw food) for domestic dogs. Our proposal is based on the existence of a growing demand for healthy food for pets, which is aligned with the tendency to seek new alternatives for healthy eating for the people themselves and their environment. It is fundamentally sought to reduce the risk of diseases and have a long life for pets. In addition, in recent years there has been a continuous increase in spending on pet care and the number of pets per household, both trends have created the concept of doglovers. Based on these premises, an economic analysis was carried out to estimate the viability of this business plan, which was consistent with the reality of the target market, generating profit margins and being sustainable over time. / Trabajo de investigación
