Veterinary Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Diagnosis

Veterinary Clinical Pathology And Laboratory Diagnosis Pdf Download

By Ramswaroop Chauhan

Veterinary Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Diagnosis serves as a vital resource for veterinarians and disease investigation professionals by centralizing crucial information in one location. The book emphasizes the importance of rapid and accurate diagnostic tools in identifying animal diseases and outlines both traditional and modern diagnostic approaches.

Traditional diagnostic methods, such as isolation and identification of pathogens from clinical samples, are often slow and require well-equipped labs. To complement these methods, the book explores seroconversion detection and enzyme immunoassays as efficient tools for identifying immune responses or microbial antigens.

Veterinary Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Diagnosis highlights, for the first time, essential safety protocols and regulatory standards for veterinary diagnostic labs. Field veterinarians can apply this guidance to make timely and accurate diagnoses, recommend treatments, and implement disease control measures effectively in livestock and poultry populations.

Case Studies In Small Animal Point Of Care Ultrasound A Color Handbook Pdf Download

By Erin Binagia, Soren Boysen, Tereza Stastny

Case Studies in Small Animal Point of Care Ultrasound: A Color Handbook covers the many facets of small animal point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) using clinical cases commonly seen in practice. It details specific ultrasound techniques, views, interpretations, pitfalls, and knowledge gaps, highlighting the utility of initial and serial POCUS for both diagnostic and patient management purposes.

Divided into seven sections, the book addresses ultrasound of the pleural space and lungs, heart, abdomen, vascular system, and advanced cases. Authored by leading authorities, it emphasizes the strengths of POCUS in screening and monitoring while acknowledging its limitations as a standalone diagnostic tool.
