RESUMO
This study was carried out with two groups of bovines naturally infected with Boophilus microplus. One group was treated every week during a month with Neem's watery extract and the other group was treated only once (at the test onset) with amabectin pour-on. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test showed no significant difference (P<0.0001) between both groups (Neem and amabectin) throughout the experiment. However, time of collection [(day0 = day15) Õ day30] and age brackets (cowsAssuntos

RESUMO
Gestational diabetes (GD), is a common illness in our country, that is associated with high perinatal morbi-mortality. The objective of this study is to assess the utility of the 50 g glucose screen test (GST) to know the frequency of GD at the National Institute of Perinatology, for preventing the neonatal risks associated with this pathology. For that reason, we performed a one year prospective study including 144 pregnant patients between 24-28 weeks of gestation. All of the patients undergo the 50g GST, and those with results or = to 140 mg/dl were followed by the glucose tolerance test (GTT). This GTT was performed with 100g of glucose and then blood samples were taken at fasting time, later at 60-120-180 minutes respectively. Of the total of 144 patients, 33 (23%), resulted with a positive GST. The GTT confirms the GD in 10.7% of the patients, and an equal proportion of gestational alterations to the GTT was observed. It is concluded that the 50 g GST is the best screening test to identify alterations of the carbohydrate metabolism during pregnancy.

The clinical heterogeneity of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is also evident during the gestational period and thus, pregnancy could be complicated by a previously diagnosed DM or by diabetes that is first diagnosed during pregnancy (gestational diabetes or gestational alteration of the oral glucose tolerance test according with the degree of hyperglycemia). Independently of the stage at time of maternal diagnosis, the conceptus is at greater risk (probably since the time of conception) for abortion, genetic malformations, perinatal metabolic complications and death; these risks are apparently directly related with the time at diagnosis, duration and degree of metabolic alteration on the mother (mainly hyperglycemia) and the adaptive mechanisms on the product (hyperinsulinemia). Retrospectively, 412 pregnancies complicated with any type of carbohydrate metabolism alteration were studied in our service. The results demonstrated a high frequency of Gestational diabetes (42.2%) and of type II diabetes (35.9%); there was a good agreement with previous reports regarding the personal and family histories in the patients already known diabetic before pregnancy. The types of obstetric complications were similar to previous reports, but some of them with a greater frequency in our patients, namely hydramnios, toxemia, and urinary tract infection, and ketoacidosis with a minor frequency. We also observed an increased frequency of congenital malformations on the products. On the other hand, the metabolic complications of the newborn were similar to other reports with a slight predominance on the babies of known diabetic mothers prior to gestation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
