Book SynopsisA concise and practical quick reference guide to treating reptiles in first opinion veterinary practice Reptile Medicine and Surgery in Clinical Practice is the ideal guide for the busy veterinarian treating reptile cases. Designed as a quick reference guide, but with comprehensive coverage of all the topics needed for first opinion practice, the book presents the principles of reptile medicine and surgery. Richly illustrated chapters cover anatomy, physiology, behaviour, husbandry, reproduction, common diseases and disorders, and much more. Application in a clinical setting is emphasized throughout, including guidance on the physical examination, diagnostic testing and imaging, treatment options, and anaesthetic and surgical techniques. Practical quick-reference guideideal for the busy, first-opinion veterinary practitionerRichly illustrated in full colour throughoutEdited by a team of highly experienced exotic animal veterinariansUseful reference for those studying for postgradTrade Review“There are 33 chapters covering everything from anatomy and husbandry, to diseases, imaging, nutrition and surgery. Diseases have been covered in chapters dedicated to systems [...] There are two absolute standouts of this book that I haven’t encountered in many other books before. There are two successive chapters on ‘Setting Up and Equipping a Reptile Practice’ and ‘The Reptile Consultation’, which provide beautiful guiding principles for getting into this growing field, right down to marketing of the service. The second standout is chapter 17: ‘Differential Diagnoses: A Problem-Based Approach’. The chapter runs for 36 pages and contains nothing but lists of differentials for common presenting signs of the four major reptile taxa: snakes, lizards, chelonians and crocodilians. Every major disease text should contain such a chapter and I cannot wait until the authors release the searchable app for this. [...] The text probably won’t contain the level of information a reptilian disease researcher might covet, but would be perfect for the general practitioner looking to start in reptiles, the general practitioner faced with a single question from a keen owner, the already established reptile expert and most certainly would be perfect for those veterinarians embarking upon membership examinations to Australian and New Zealand College in exotic pet medicine.”Australian Veterinary Journal Volume 97 No 10, October 2019Table of ContentsList of Contributors xi Preface xv 1 Taxonomy and Introduction to Common Species 1Bob Doneley 2 Anatomy and Physiology of Reptiles 15Bairbre O’Malley 3 Behaviour in the Wild and in Captivity 33Robert Johnson 4 Husbandry and Nutrition 45Michelle Kischinovsky, Aidan Raftery and Shivananden Sawmy 5 Enclosure Design 61Michael McFadden, Deborah Monks, Bob Doneley and Robert Johnson 6 Lighting 75Frances M.

Book SynopsisAtlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the Equine Head presents a clear and complete view of the complex anatomy of the equine head using cross-sectional imaging.Trade Review"Atlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the Equine Head is a comprehensive reference of the cross-sectional anatomy of the head of equids that features photographs of gross sections, CT images, and MRI scans of the head in transverse, sagittal, and dorsal planes. The photographs of gross-section preparations are excellent, and most anatomic features are readily identifiable. Furthermore, the anatomic labels are exhaustive"...... "The provided images should enable readers to recognize most anatomic structures on other MRI pulse sequences"......"In addition to the anatomic atlas, the book contains a well-written introduction that briefly explains the basic principles of CT and MRI interpretation and considerations for image acquisition. Readers unfamiliar with CT and MRI will gain a superficial understanding of what influences tissue appearance in images acquired by the use of those modalities, and appropriate references are provided for readers who wish to learn more. This book will be useful for radiologists, surgeons, internists, and other practitioners who occasionally need to acquire diagnostic images of the heads of horses" (Reviewed by Derek Cissell, VMD, PhD, DACVR, University of California-Davis, Davis, Calif 15th June 2017 AVMA)Table of ContentsIntroduction: General Presentation of Atlas, vi 1 Overview of CT and MRI of the Equine Head, 1 2 Clinical and Surgical Anatomy of the Equine Head: Transverse Sections, 9 3 Clinical and Surgical Anatomy of the Equine Head: Sagittal Sections, 85 Brain sagittal close-up, 100 4 Clinical and Surgical Anatomy of the Equine Head: Dorsal Sections, 115 Glossary, 143 References, 145 Index, 147

Book SynopsisA rapidly growing interdisciplinary field, disease ecology merges key ideas from ecology, medicine, genetics, immunology, and epidemiology to study how hosts and pathogens interact in populations, communities, and entire ecosystems. Bringing together contributions from leading international experts on the ecology of diseases among invertebrate species, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the field. Beginning with an introductory overview of general principles and methodologies, the book continues with in-depth discussions of a range of critical issues concerning invertebrate disease epidemiology, molecular biology, vectors, and pathogens. Topics covered in detail include: Methods for studying the ecology of invertebrate diseases and pathogensInvertebrate pathogen ecology and the ecology of pathogen groupsApplied ecology of invertebrate pathogensLeveraging the ecology of invertebrate pathogens in microbial controlPrevention and management of infectious Table of ContentsList of Contributors xvii Preface xxi Section I Introduction 1 1 General Concepts in the Ecology of Invertebrate Diseases 3Ann E.

Book SynopsisErrors in Veterinary Anesthesia is the first book to offer a candid examination of what can go wrong when anesthetizing veterinary patients and to discuss how we can learn from mistakes.Trade Review"This book serves as definitive reading for all faculty, residents, interns and technicians in veterinary anesthesiology...Each chapter provides excellent clinical vignettes of mistakes and inaccuracies....For anyone looking to improve their practice of veterinary medicine or formulating a system for morbidity-mortality rounds, this book is essential reading. Excellent." (Doody Enterprises 24/03/2017)"Errors in Veterinary Anesthesia is an informative and necessary read for anyone interested in starting and managing an anesthesia service in a progressive veterinary practice or a large veterinary institution. It delves deeply into the subject and describes how errors in anesthesia are made and what can be done to prevent or correct them"....... "I was particularly engaged by the book’s introduction because it describes a management culture that, in my opinion, has been overlooked consciously or unconsciously by veterinary medicine"...... "One of the strengths of this book is the 4 chapters devoted to actual clinical scenarios in which errors were made or near misses occurred and how they were handled"..... "I think this book will also appeal and be very useful to the managers of forward-thinking general practices. Overall, I recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their anesthetic and personnel management skills" (Reviewed by Dianna Ovbey, DVM, MS, DACVAASoutheast Veterinary Anesthesia Services, Charleston, SC 15th June 2017 AVMA)Table of ContentsPreface, ix Acknowledgments, xi Introduction, xiii 1 Errors: Terminology and Background, 1 Error: terminology, 1 Conclusion, 5 References, 5 2 Errors: Organizations, Individuals, and Unsafe Acts, 7 Error causation: technical factors, 7 Error causation: organizational and supervision factors, 7 Error causation: environmental factors, 12 Error causation: personnel factors, 12 Error causation: human factors, 12 Error causation: other factors, 22 Conclusion, 22 References, 22 3 Reporting and Analyzing Patient Safety Incidents, 25 The limitation in only counting errors, 25 How can we learn the most from our errors?, 26 Analyzing patient safety incidents, 36 Conclusion, 43 References, 43 4 Equipment and Technical Errors in Veterinary Anesthesia, 45 Cases, 47 Near miss vignettes, 51 Conclusion, 57 References, 58 5 Medication Errors in Veterinary Anesthesia, 59 Cases, 60 Near miss vignettes, 66 Conclusions, 69 References, 69 6 Errors of Clinical Reasoning and Decision-making in Veterinary Anesthesia, 71 Cases, 72 Near miss vignettes, 85 Conclusion, 87 References, 87 7 Errors of Communication and Teamwork in Veterinary Anesthesia, 89 Cases, 89 Near miss vignette, 95 Conclusion, 96 References, 97 8 Error Prevention in Veterinary Anesthesia, 99 General strategies for error prevention, 100 Specific strategies for error prevention, 104 Conclusion, 119 References, 119 Appendix A.

Book SynopsisSmall Animal Dermatology: What's Your Diagnosis?provides practical information in an easy-to-reference, well-illustrated format, so that students and practicing veterinarians can develop their clinical dermatology skills and test their knowledge. It offers current diagnostic and therapeutic information on small animal skin diseases through real-world clinical cases. Organized by presenting complaint, each clinical problem is covered through case material and questions revolving around differential diagnoses, diagnostic tools, and treatment planning. Small Animal Dermatology: What''s Your Diagnosis?features actual clinical cases that demonstrate common clinical presentations. It covers both common and uncommon dermatologic problems, such as alopecia, changes in skin pigmentation, causes of itch, and more. Designed to enhance clinical problem solving skills, the book can be approached as a series of mini challenges, making it an excellent primer for new cliniciansTrade Review"Small Animal Dermatology: What’s Your Diagnosis? is the third book in a series that uses a case-based format to improve critical thinking and clinical problem solving. This book presents 34 cases of dogs and cats with skin diseases. The cases are arranged in 5 sections on the basis of clinical sign or lesion type. Each section has a well-written summary, which alone is useful to clinicians who want to improve their clinical skills. Each case is presented in a detailed easy-to-follow manner with logical explanations of examination findings, lists of differential diagnoses, recommended diagnostic tests, and treatment plans. For some cases, the clinical findings were either unusual for a common disease or non specific and complex, which emphasizes the need to consider a thorough list of differential diagnoses. Perspective buyers are cautioned that this book was written for a United Kingdom audience, and some of the treatments described are not available in other countries such as the United States. One criticism is that the images are quite small, particularly given the large amount of blank space present in the book. Dermatology is a highly visual field, so it is unfortunate that the layout and image quality were not optimized. Overall, this is a useful book for those in the veterinary profession wishing to challenge and improve their dermatologic problem-solving skills. Students, technicians, and practitioners will find the cases challenging and interesting. However, it is important to note that this book should not be considered a general reference because it does not cover all dermatologic diseases and is not organized or intended to be a textbook reference."- JAVMA | DEC 15, 2019 | VOL 255 | NO. 12Table of ContentsAcknowledgements vii Abbreviations ix Introduction xi Section A Alopecia 1 Case 1 5 Case 2 13 Case 3 19 Case 4 25 Case 5 31 Case 6 37 Case 7 43 Case 8 49 Section B Pigmentation 55 Case 9 59 Case 10 65 Case 11 71 Case 12 75 Case 13 81 Case 14 87 Section C Pruritus 91 Case 15 95 Case 16 101 Case 17 105 Case 18 111 Case 19 115 Case 20 121 Section D Pustules, Crust and Scale 129 Case 21 133 Case 22 139 Case 23 145 Case 24 151 Case 25 157 Case 26 161 Case 27 167 Section E Ulceration 175 Case 28 179 Case 29 185 Case 30 189 Case 31 195 Case 32 201 Case 33 205 Case 34 209 Appendix 1: Diagnosis by Case 215 Appendix 2: Recommended Reading 217 Index 219

Book SynopsisThis new approach to insect modeling discusses population dynamics' regularities, control theory, theory of transitions, and describes methods of population dynamics and outbreaks modeling for forest phyllophagous insects and their effects on global climate change. Research in insect population dynamics is important for more reasons than just protecting forest communities. Insect populations are among the main ecological units included in the analysis of stability of ecological systems. Moreover, it is convenient to test new methods of analyzing population and community stability on the insect-related data, as by now ecologists and entomologists have accumulated large amounts of such data. In this book, the authors analyze population dynamics of quite a narrow group of insects forest defoliators. It is hoped that the methods proposed herein for the analysis of population dynamics of these species may be useful and effective for analyzing population dynamics of other animal species Table of ContentsAuthors ix Introduction xi 1 Population Dynamics of Forest Insects: Outbreaks in Forest Ecosystems 1 1.1 Approaches to modeling population dynamics of forest insects 1 1.2 The role of insects in the forest ecosystem 4 1.3 The phenomenological theory of forest insect population dynamics: the principle of stability of flexible ecologicalsystems 10 1.4 Classification of the factors of forest insect population dynamics 12 1.5 Delayed and direct regulation mechanisms 14 2 Ways of Presenting Data on Forest Insect Population Dynamics 17 2.1 Representation of population dynamics data 17 2.2 Presenting the data on forest insect population dynamics through changes in density over time 18 2.3 Presenting the data on populatiozn dynamics as a phase portrait 24 2.4 The probability of the population leaving the stability zone and reaching an outbreak density: a model of a one-dimensional potential well 40 2.5 Presenting the data on forest insect population dynamics as a potential function 47 3 The Effects of Weather Factors on Population Dynamics of Forest Defoliating Insects 53 3.1 The necessary and sufficient weather conditions for the development of outbreaks of defoliating insects in Siberia 53 3.2 Weather influence on the development of the pine looper Bupalus piniarius L. outbreaks 55 3.3 Siberian silk moth Dendrolimus sibiricus Tschetv. population dynamics as related to weather conditions 61 3.4 Synchronization of weather conditions on vast areas as a factor of the occurrence of pan-regional outbreaks 64 4 Spatial and Temporal Coherence of Forest Insect Population Dynamics 79 4.1 Coherence and synchronicity of population dynamics 79 4.2 Spatiotemporal coherence of the population dynamics of defoliating insects in pine forests of Middle Siberia 83 4.3 Spatiotemporal coherence of population dynamics of defoliating insects in the Alps 90 4.4 Global coherence of pine looper population dynamics in Eurasia 94 4.5 Synchronization of the time series of gypsy moth population dynamics in the South Urals 96 5 Interactions Between Phytophagous Insects and Their Natural Enemies and Population Dynamics of Phytophagous Insects During Outbreaks 101 5.1 Entomophagous organisms as a regulating factor in forest insect population dynamics 101 5.2 A “phytophagous – entomophagous insect” model 106 6 Food Consumption by Forest Insects 113 6.1 Energy balance of food consumption by insects: an optimization model 113 6.2 A population-energy model of insect outbreaks 127 7 AR- and ADL-Models of Forest Insect Population Dynamics 139 7.1 An ADL-model (autoregressive distributed lag) of insect population dynamics 139 7.2 A model of population dynamics of the gypsy moth in the South Urals 145 7.3 Modeling population dynamics of the larch bud moth in the Alps 155 7.4 Simulation models of population dynamics of defoliating insects in the Krasnoturansk pine forest 165 7.5 Modeling and predicting population dynamics of the European oak leaf-roller 172 7.6 Gain margin of the AR-models of forest insect population dynamics 176 8 Modeling of Population Dynamics and Outbreaks of Forest Insects as Phase Transitions 183 8.1 Models of phase transitions for describing critical events in complex systems 183 8.2 Population buildup and development of an outbreak of forest insects as a first-order phase transition 185 8.3 Possible mechanisms of the development of forest insect outbreaks 192 8.4 Colonization of the tree stands by forest insects as a second-order phase transition 194 8.5 Risks of elimination of the population from the community 201 9 Forecasting Population Dynamics and Assessing the Risk of Damage to Tree Stands Caused by Outbreaks of Forest Defoliating Insects 207 9.1 Methods of forecasting forest insect population dynamics 207 9.2 Long-term forecast of population dynamics of defoliating insects 217 9.3 Assessment of the maximum risk of damage to tree stands caused by insects 223 9.4 Modeling and forecasting of eastern spruce budworm population dynamics 225 10 Global Warming and Risks of Forest Insect Outbreaks 233 10.1 Climate change and forest insect outbreaks in the Siberian taiga 233 10.2 Stress testing of insect impact on forest ecosystems under different scenarios of climate changes in the Siberian taiga 236 10.3 Risks of outbreaks of forest insect species with the stable type of population dynamics 244 Conclusion 251 References 255 Index 285
