Abstract(s)
A Síndrome da Úlcera Gástrica Equina é a doença gástrica mais comum nos cavalos e tem sido associada a vários fatores, tais como má gestão ambiental e alimentar, stress por competições desportivas, viagens longas e mudança de tratadores, parasitas, falta de cuidados dentários, uso de Anti-Inflamatórios Não Esteroides, ou mesmo a presença Bactéria Helicobacter pylori. No entanto, tanto quanto é do nosso conhecimento, ainda não existem trabalhos publicados que relacionem esta doença com a dor crónica musculoesquelética. A presente dissertação tem como objetivo relacionar a dor músculo-esquelética associada a um corpo estranho, a última porção de um chicote, inserido na região caudo-medial do músculo semitendinoso do membro posterior esquerdo, com a conhecida Síndrome de Ulceração Gástrica Equina, com base num caso clínico real presenciado no Hospital Escolar Equino da Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária da Universidade de Lisboa. A discussão deste caso clínico, aborda a possibilidade de uma associação entre a dor e o stress associado à dor, com a sensibilização de tecidos como a mucosa gástrica.
Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome is the most common gastric disease in horses and has been associated with various factors, such as environmental and feeding miss-management, stress from sports competitions, long distance travelling and change of caregiver, parasites, lack of teeth care, use of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, or even the presence of Helicobacter pylori. However, to our knowledge there are no published papers relating this disease to Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain. This dissertation aims to relate musculoskeletal pain associated with a foreign body, the tip of a whip, in the caudo-medial region of the semitendinosus muscle of the left hind limb, with the well-known Equine Gastric Ulceration Syndrome, based on a real clinical case presented in the Equine Teaching Hospital of the Veterinary Medicine faculty of the University of Lisbon. The discussion of this clinical case addresses the likelihood of an association between pain and the stress associated with pain, with the sensitization of tissues such as the gastric mucosa.
