BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Clinical Pathology

BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Clinical Pathology
By Elizabeth Villiers, Laura Blackwood  
Second Edition

Book Description:

Clinical Pathology forms the cornerstone of veterinary internal medicine. This second edition of the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline clinical Pathology guilds on the strengths of the first edition and incorporates new information. It answers essential questions for busy clinicians in general practice:
 Which tests should be done?
 How should they be carried out?
 How do I get the best samples?
 How should I interpret the results?

Biochemical tests are discussed in a clinical setting. Individual chapters feature important body systems or organs that have particular clinicopathological profiles (renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, pancreatic and skin), while separate chapters cover proteins and electrolytes. Blood gas analysis and urinalysis are also discussed in detail in dedicated chapters.

Clinical case examples illustrate how test selection and interpretation are used in real cases, and give readers the opportunity to apply for themselves the information presented in the chapters.

Clinical case examples illustrate how test selection and interpretation are used in real cases, and give readers the opportunity to apply for themselves the information presented in the chapters.

Cytology is a vital and growing part of clinical pathology, and a large chapter reviews both sampling and interpretation. Chapters on body cavity effusions, CSF analysis, joint and muscle disease, and skin disorders include both biochemical and cytological information.

The role of clinical pathology in the diagnosis of infectious diseases is also summarized, with helpful explanations of PCR and MIC.

Quick reference appendices summarize the samples required for common tests and list differential diagnoses for many of the abnormalities discussed in detail elsewhere in the book.

A major feature of the book are the amazing colour photos which enable the reader to identify normal and abnormal blood cells and cytological changes in a range of conditions.

As a team of one clinical pathologists and one clinician, the Editors have created a truly useful manual for clinicians, budding clinical pathologists and veterinary students.

Jubb, Kennedy & Palmer's Pathology of Domestic Animals

Jubb, Kennedy & Palmer's Pathology of Domestic Animals
By M. Grant Maxie
5th Edition

 Book Description:   

The 5th edition of Jubb, Kennedy, and Palmer's Pathology of Domestic Animals continues the long tradition of this classic set of volumes as the most comprehensive reference book published on the topic of pathology of the common domestic mammals, with emphasis on disease conditions of cattle and small ruminants, swine, horses, dogs and cats. Using a body systems approach, recognized authorities in their fields provide overviews of general characteristics of the system, reactions to insult, and disease conditions broken down by type of infectious or toxic insult affecting the anatomical subdivisions of each body system. Since the publication of the 4th edition in 1993, much has changed. Disease agents, such as Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) type 2, Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), Porcine circovirus 2, Hendra virus, and Leptospira spp., have emerged or further evolved. Molecular-based testing, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in-situ hybridization, have allowed further understanding of pathogenesis of disease, and have greatly furthered our diagnostic capabilities.

    Thoroughly revised text, including new or evolving pathogens and new diagnostic techniques.
    Approximately 470 new illustrations.
    Maintains the currency of the text, assists the reader in putting new conditions into perspective.
    Updating of the Bibliography on each subject gives readers new entry points into the rapidly expanding literature on each subject.
    Illustrations of new conditions or agents.
    Reader-friendliness improved through highlighting of text, bullet-point lists, italics, diagnostic hints.

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology
By Leon Neumann, Sophie Meier
1st Edition

Book Description: 


Brucellosis is one of the most important zoonotic diseases world-wide. This book focuses on host natural resistance and innate immunity against Brucella infection. The impact of Johne's disease, a chronic, granulomatous enteritis of ruminants and some wild-type species is examined as well. In addition, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of DNA vaccines are addressed in this book, as well as the optimisation strategies that are currently pursued to harness the therapeutic and commercial advantages of DNA vaccination. Moreover, immune responses may substantially differ between conventional laboratory antigens and microbial ones. This book focuses on the experimental pulmonary tuberculosis as a convenient in vivo model to study the disease, providing important advantages over other models. Other chapters examine the defence mechanisms of several flatfish species, which is a main priority to prevent economic losses. The role of the intestine in the immune response in all vertebrates is examined as well, including its cellular components.

Necropsy

Necropsy
Procedures and Basic Diagnostic Methods for Practicing Veterinarians
By Albert C. Strafuss

Book Description: 

This book on necropsy diagnosis is written to aid veterinary practitioners and students in establishing diagnoses. Information scattered throughout the literature or lear!led by the author's experience
has been collated and presented in a logical sequence. A necropsy procedure for the dog with appropriate modifications for other domestic animals is described, thereby eliminating the necessity of learning a different procedure for each species. Emphasis is placed on gross pathologic diagnoses with simple and quick supportive laboratory techniques, which can be performed during necropsy (impressions or smears, Gram stains, etc.). A common mistake in practice is to omit laboratory procedures or to do difficult tests that are needed infrequently without first perfecting tests that are supportive, simply done, inexpensive, and more rewarding.

Veterinary Post-Mortem Examinations

Veterinary Post-Mortem Examinations
By A.W. Clements 

Book Description: 

In veterinary medicine the death of an animal patient is often thought of as the end of a medical case. However until a thorough post-mortem examination is completed, the case is not closed. In fact, the post-mortem examination (autopsy, necropsy) is a very useful and necessary procedure in the diagnostic process as it often defines the cause of death.
Why do a post-mortem examination? A good post-mortem has five benefits:


   1.   Benefit to the owner/breeder:
        It may reveal deficiencies in husbandry practices which can be modified or corrected.
        It may reveal hereditary and/or congenital (birth) defects which may influence future breeding decisions.
        By pinpointing the underlying disease process or processes, it allows the initiation of treatment for similarly affected individuals in a litter, household, kennel, etc.
        The results of a post-mortem exam may facilitate the development and implementation of a preventive medicine/ husbandry program in the kennel to avert future deaths if possible.
  2.  Benefit to the attending veterinarian:
        A specific diagnosis, in many cases, leads to a specific treatment.
        It can reveal individual kennel problems and these can serve as a starting point when future disease problems occur. This avoids time consuming trial-anderror treatments and allows specific treatment and preventive measures to be started earlier.
        It adds to the experience and learning of the veterinarian.
 3.  Benefit to the breed:
        It may reveal breed-specific problems.
        It will provide useful information to other breeders and veterinarians.
        It allows accumulation of specific information concerning the deaths of individuals in that breed and allows for statistical analysis and compliation of data.
 4.   Benefit to humans:
        Since animals live with and amongst humans it may reveal zoonotic diseases which may be transmitted to people. This allows public health personnel to be notified and act to prevent human exposure and disease.
        We now know the close relationship genetically between animals and humans. More and more we are finding the same hereditary and genetic diseases in animals and people. The results of the post -mortem examine may facilitate the development of animal models for human disease which can lead to new treatments for both animals and people.
  5.  The post-mortem examination often results in “closure” for the owner, the veterinarian and other people involved in the death of an animal.
