Color Atlas of Equine Pathology offers a practical guideto identifying equine diseases, presenting a single resource withmore than 1000 images showing predominantly gross pathology.Organized by body systems, the book allows for picture matchingduring or after an equine necropsy. In this user-friendly atlas,each chapter takes a common format, presenting the disease processas well as congenital, degenerative, inflammatory, and neoplasticsequences, with text boxes offering quick reference to keyinformation. The book begins with an introductory chapter summarizing theprinciples of the equine field necropsy, and subsequent organ-basedchapters depict gross features of disease, focusing on macroscopicdigital images supplemented by histology and immunohistochemistrywhen necessary. Some clinical information for correlationwith pathology is included. Color Atlas of EquinePathology is an essential resource for diagnostic veterinarypathologists and pathology residents, as well as for equinepractitioners performing necropsies in the field. Key features Presents more than 1,000 high-quality color images showingprimarily gross pathology and significant histopathology andindirect immunohistochemistry Aids identification of equine disease, with a user-friendlyformat to show the correlations between clinical signs and grossand microscopic lesions Provides a comparison guide for clinical presentations duringor after an equine necropsy Offers a synopsis of the principles of the equine fieldnecropsy Covers diseases found in the neonate, juvenile, and adulthorse Focuses on diseases usually found in North America

This book provides in-depth information about common clinical laboratory assays that are used to evaluate domestic mammals, including what assays measure, sample or assay conditions that affect results, and what results indicate about the physiologic or pathologic state of a patient. Whenever possible, diseases and conditions are grouped by common mechanisms or processes to promote a conceptual understanding of laboratory data that can be generally applied across many species. New to the second edition are additional disorders, diagnostic tests, illustrations, images, references, and pathophysiologic explanations. This text has proven valuable to students and veterinarians wanting a fundamental understanding of veterinary clinical pathology.

Veterinary Clinical Pathology: A Case-Based Approach presents 200 cases with questions for those interested in improving their skills in veterinary clinical pathology.

Equine Internal Medicine is devoted solely to internal medicine. This problem-oriented book is organized into two primary sections. Part 1 focuses on the mechanisms underlying disease and the principles underlying treatment. Part 2 takes a body systems approach to common problems. Individual diseases are discussed in terms of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment. Editors and contributors are authorities in their fields. The book takes a problem-based approach to understanding equine internal medicine and demonstrates the importance of evidence-based medicine. Pathophysiology is emphasized throughout, providing a sound basis for discussions of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis that follow. Body systems chapters begin with a thorough discussion of the diagnostic method appropriate to the system, including physical examination, clinical pathology, radiography, endoscopy, and ultrasonography. Information is current and well referenced. Flow charts, diagrams, and algorithms clarify and enhance complex material. The 2nd edition features a new editor, Debra C. Sellon, DVM. Two new chapters have been added: Critical Care (Chapter 6) and Epidemiology (Chapter 21). New content has been added to Clinical Approach to Commonly Encountered Problems (Chapter 3): changes in body temperature, diarrhea, and clinical assessment of poor performance. The chapters on Pharmacology (Chapter 4) and Hematopoietic System (Chapter 12) both have new authors and are totally rewritten and updated. The chapter on the Gastrointestinal System (Chapter 13) has new authors and new sections on examination for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal inflammation, diarrhea, malabsorption syndromes and maldigestion, and mucosal injury and repair. Endocrine Disorders (Chapter 18) has new authors, has been completely rewritten, and includes a new section on magnesium disorders.
