5M Books Ltd Writing Skills for Veterinarians
Book SynopsisCommunicating ideas in veterinary medicine is a fundamental part of continuing veterinary research and building a career as a clinician. The purpose of this book is to help increasing efficiency and effectiveness in writing professional documents, e.g. writing a concise yet thorough discharge statement to avoid repeated client call-backs to clarify medical recommendations. The book also aims at improving the reader’s confidence in writing skills through guided and well-thought out “homework” or practice exercises. Useful for both veterinary students and practising vets, Writing Skills for Veterinarians addresses how to develop and hone veterinary medical and scientific writing techniques. The basics of veterinary writing and why it matters are covered before concentrating on specific written models expected of vets – creating medical documents, client and colleague communications, report writing, journal articles and research papers and presentations. At the end of the book is a resource-bank of additional exercises relating to each type of document.Table of Contents1 Introduction to Medical Documentation 2 Learning the Lingo: The Language of Medical Documentation 3 Structuring the Medical Record 4 The "S" in SOAP Notes 5 The "O" in SOAP notes 6 The "A" in SOAP notes 7 The "P" in SOAP notes 8 Common Mistakes in SOAP Notes 9 Academic SOAP Notes 10 Variations of SOAP Notes 11 Other Medical Documents 12 An Introduction to Scientific Writing 13 Deciding What to Write as an Original Research Article 14 Writing the Original Research Article Appendix 1: Supplemental Exercises to Master Veterinary Medical Jargon Appendix 2: Supplemental Exercises to Master the Medical Record Appendix 3: Additional Resources that Provide Guidance for Record-Keeping

5M Books Ltd A Guide to Oral Communication in Veterinary
Book SynopsisGood communication skills provide better clinical outcomes and help avoid minor as well as major mistakes. Approximately 60-80% of negligence claims against vets are related to poor communication, with new graduates especially vulnerable. Communication skills are a growing part of the curriculum in veterinary schools, recognising how fundamental clear communication is to good practice. A Guide to Oral Communication in Veterinary Medicine covers why communication skills are important, the structure of typical communications and suggested approaches, veterinary specific communication pathways and sample scripts between vet and client. Scenarios covered include everyday communication, dealing with challenging situations, different species, different settings, and communication within the veterinary team. The aim is to instil confidence and competence, build professionalism and avoid problems. Most current teaching is based on a toolbox approach developed from the human medicine model. However, there is no set standard for teaching methodology which is why this is primarily a book for students but also includes a section for educators to provide guidance in this nascent subject.Table of Contents1 What Do Our Clients Understand? 2 How Can We Help Our Clients to Understand? 3 How Can We Structure the Consultation from the Vantage Point of Clinical Communication? 4 First Impressions 5 Reflective Listening 6 Empathy 7 Nonverbal Cues 8 Open-Ended Questions and Statements 9 Reducing Medical Jargon 10 Enhancing Relationship-Centered Care through Partnership 11 Eliciting the Client's Perspective to Enhance Relationship-Centered Care 12 Asking Permission to Enhance Relationship-Centered Care 13 Enhancing Relationship-Centered Care by Assessing the Client's Knowledge 14 Mapping Out the Clinical Consultation 15 Summarizing and Checking in with the Client 16 Contracting for Next Steps 17 Agenda-Setting and the Final "Check-In" 18 Defining Two New Skills that Companion-Animal Clients Value 19 Using Communication Skills to Initiate the Consultation 20 History Taking 21 Explaining and Planning 22 End-of-Chapter Reading Comprehension Questions 23 Workbook-Style Exercises

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Marine Mammal Biology
Book SynopsisA general introduction to the biology of marine mammals, and an overview of the adaptations that have permitted mammals to succeed in the marine environment. Each chapter offers a review and presents the major discoveries and innovations in the field.Trade Review"This book represents an authoritative and up to date account of our understanding of the biology of marine mammals. Although it does include quite a bit of technical detail, the inclusion of simple chapter summaries and numerous explanatory boxes, ensure that it will be accessible to a range of readers from undergraduate biology students to professional marine mammal biologists. If I taught an undergraduate course in marine mammal biology, I would make it my recommended text. As a marine mammal biologist, I know that I will be reaching for it often over the next few years." Marine Mammal Science "This is a very well illustrated text dealing with a fascinating groups of animals. Although it is an advanced text (the 'introductory' nature alluded to being best for those with some biological training) there is much to gained for the beginner. There is a wealth of detail which could be used in many educational contexts making this book more of a reference aid than straight textbook. It provides information on mammal biology helpful in discussions about broader ecological aspects which cannot easily be found elsewhere." TEGNews "In 14 chapters, some 27 specialists have captured the essence of all asepcts of life forms - behavioural characteristics, ecology and conservation needs - of 121 species of marine mammals occupying three taxonomic orders... A must for college and universities that have storng biology, ecology, or marine biology programs, as well as for larger public libraries." CHOICE "This book, intended for students of marine biology, ecology, or evolution, presents a broad spectrum of topics in remarkable detail." Northeastern Naturalist "This book successfully surveys the whole of marine mammal biology. Previous attempts are dated or less sweeping and so I recommend that all marine mammalogists own or at least have access to this book." Trends in Ecology and Evolution "I think Hoelzel has timed this quite nicely as there is definitely a demand for such a book, and there have been a number of scientific breakthroughs in the last 10-15 years that have revolutionised our understanding of this subject." Dr Rob Harcourt, Macquarie University, Australia "This is an exciting proposal, describing a book that is long overdue. Hoelzel is an innovative and productive scientist with a flare for writing, and he is as well placed as any to steer a volume of this scope and complexity to a successful conclusion."

O'Brien Press Ltd Vet on the Loose
Book SynopsisWhether castrating horses or tending to stoned Alsatians, Gillian Hick's sense of humour never deserts her in this engaging account of her life as a vet.Trade Review'This book is just hilarious. Suffice to quote the story of Gillian being called out to tend a guard dog called Rambo, who 'could best be described as a cross between a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Rottweiler, with a bit of German Shepherd thrown in for good measure'. When she nervously approaches the giant beast in his kennel, the diagnosis was obvious. 'Rambo was stoned'. It emerged that the vigilent guard dog had chased off a drug dealer -- then consumed the prohibited substances abandoned in the persuit. This is Gillian Hick's first book, but will no doubt be the first of many in the James Herriot mould.' -- Countryman'An enjoyable light-hearted look behind the scenes at the world of veterinary medicine. Buy it for a would-be veterinary student or anyone who comes from a farming background - it's sure to please.' -- The Irish WorldIt's an engaging account of the situations she encounters where the humans are often more problematic than the animals, particularly the guys who want to know where the real vet is.' -- The Irish Independent * Irish Independent *'Lively sense of humour, and a pleasant, easy-going writing style. Animal lovers will be well-pleased with her pacy anecdotes' -- Irish Examiner * The Irish Examiner *'Gillian is not afraid to tell of her failures, nor is she ashamed to admit to shedding a few tears from time to time. There is nothing boastful or egotistical. It is very well written in an easy-flow style, and it would make a lovely ... present for an animal lover, especially one who does not object to gory details.' -- Irish Farmer's Journal

Taylor & Francis Ltd Concise Textbook of Equine Clinical Practice Book
Book SynopsisThis concise, practical text covers the essential information veterinary students need to succeed in equine medicine and surgery, focussing on skin, urinary, liver and endocrine diseases. Written for an international readership, the book conveys the core information in an easily digestible, precise form with extensive use of bullet points, tables, flow charts, diagrams, lists, protocols and extensive illustrations.Part of a five-book series that extracts and updates key information from Munroe's Equine Surgery, Reproduction and Medicine, Second Edition, the book distils best practice in a logical straightforward clinical-based approach. It details clinical anatomy, physical clinical examination techniques, diagnostic techniques and normal parameters, emphasising the things regularly available to general practitioners with minimal information of advanced techniques.The liver section is divided into clinical evaluation, diagnostic tests, possible causes andTrade Review"Veterinary students would love this! I have seen the success of similar books in small animal medicine and how useful they can be on rotations when a quick reference is needed. I think it would equally be of benefit to residents and practitioners needing quick refreshers." Carla Lusi, University of Melbourne, Australia, author of Fascial Anatomy of the Equine Forelimb (CRC Press) "I think this Equine textbook will be exceptionally well received. Although the original book Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction really helped me personally through university, I could only ever use it at my desk or at the library. More concise books allow students and new grads to have them at hand all the time, especially during rotations for quick reference. Leave the 1500 page book at home and take just what they need for the day! Each disease or syndrome has the same layout, allowing a vey quick reference, and the images are amazing. They are good quality and allow very immersive learning." Sophie Neasham, Veterinary surgeon, UK "While the volume Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction, Second Edition is a great resource for reference, say, when wanting to research differential diagnoses for a case or brush up on a disease, it is not practical to be used out in the field. This smaller, more focused reference guide is more amenable to practical day-to-day veterinary use. For example, when out on a call and you need a quick reference on how to treat a specific presentation, having a resource which is concise and targeted is more user friendly than a large volume."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Fundamental Principles of Veterinary Anesthesia
Book SynopsisFundamental Principles of Veterinary Anesthesia Comprehensive textbook integrating physiology and anesthesia of multiple species of animals in a unique practical setting Fundamental Principles of Veterinary Anesthesia is designed specifically for veterinary students, animal health technicians and veterinarians in general practice. The first edition of Fundamental Principles of Veterinary Anesthesia covers the key principles of veterinary anesthesia, encompassing a wide range of species, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and pigs, and establishing links between physiology, pharmacology, and clinical practice in healthy and ill patients. This text serves as a practical guide for students to prepare themselves for clinical work in a private practice setting, and as a rich, practical resource for those in general practice. This text is ideally used as a complete curriculum aligned resource, and the companion website is designed to decrease the burden of lecturers who need to compile PowerPoint presentations and review questions. Topics covered in Fundamental Principles of Veterinary Anesthesia include: Practical approaches to the peri-anesthetic period, from patient assessment, through to preparing for, and successfully completing, an anesthetic eventAnesthetic drugs available in an academic or private practice, with a focus on commonly used drugsComponents of the anesthetic machine, gas flow through the machine, how vaporizers work and their functionalitiesPrinciples and techniques of patient monitoring, with a focus on commonly available devices and their applicationsTable of ContentsNotes on Contributors Preface Glossary Section 1: Foundational knowledge Chapter 1: Veterinary anesthesiaGareth Zeiler & Daniel Pang Chapter 2: Patient assessment, planning and preparationTim Bosmans, Roxanne Buck & Gareth Zeiler Chapter 3: Pain physiology, assessment and principles of treatmentJo Murrell & Daniel Pang Chapter 4: Principles of anesthetic monitoring and monitoring equipmentH.

Springer-Verlag New York Inc. Biodegradation of Pesticides
Book SynopsisWhen first developed, chlorinated pesticides such as DDT, dieldrin, and mirex were received with open arms, quickly becoming popular as effective, economic agents against pests. But evidence began to mount that residues of these chemicals remained in the environment, not breaking down, often appearing in plants and animals. By the late seventies many pesticides had achieved a terrible notoriety and were subsequently banned in a number of countries. Of tremendous concern, then, is the persistence of pesticides in the environment. The major thrust of research and development in the area of pesticides has properly been the creation of substances that are both effective and degradable. Yet in order to successfully promote the use of biodegradable pesticides, one must fully understand the mechanism of degradation, and it is to this vital subject that we address ourselves in the presenTable of ContentsI Biodegradation of Pesticides: Principles and Mechanisms.- 1 Degradation of Pesticides by Animals.- 1.1.
