Veterinary pathology and histology Books

Book SynopsisThe Busy Vet's Guide to Cytology is an in-practice guide to using cytology in everyday veterinary practice. It outlines the basics of cytological examination and explores how to work with cytology results as a diagnostic tool alongside other treatments and assessments. The Guide also covers:acquiring and preparing cytological specimens,staining slides and microscope use, andinterpreting samples from common locations.Addressing general principles of veterinary cytology and then taking a body system approach applied to all veterinary patients, the book ends with working with labs, a round-up of difficult cases and digital cytology.The Busy Vet's Guide to Cytology is accessible and digestible an indispensable aid to vets in practice.

Book SynopsisOne of the first books on general pathology written specifically for veterinary nurses and those new to the subject. It builds on prior knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry to explain the pathological changes that occur in sick animals.Trade Review"This book is comprehensible in its entirety and boasts a logical structure. While it specifically suits UK student and qualified veterinary nurses, given the generic content, it will also prove a valuable resource to their international counterparts as well as to veterinary students. It will also make a functional addition to the bookshelf of veterinary practices and training providers." (Veterinary Record, December 2010) "The author has written an excellent book for the beginning veterinary technician student, assistants or someone interested in a good overall review of clinical pathology. The book is not intended for veterinarians or experienced technicians unless they would like the review. This basic information is very well presented. I would highly recommend this text to any veterinary technician program." (Veterinary Information Network, June 2010)Table of ContentsAbout This Book.

Book SynopsisKey features: Full-colour with over 240 photomicrographs Covers the dog, the cat, the horse, and the cow The new edition adds 89 brand new cases and updates all the existing content to ensure its continued relevance in practice Adds Frequently Asked Questions' at the end the book to further test the reader's knowledge This highly visual book provides a comprehensive survey of cytological features and patterns as an aid to study, revision and continuing education for veterinarians in practice and training. Illustrated in full-colour with over 240 photomicrographs, the cases are presented randomly and appear as self-assessment questions with detailed explanatory answers. Species covered include the dog, the cat, the horse, and the cow. The new edition adds 89 brand new cases and updates all the existing content to ensure its continued relevance in practice. It also includes Frequently Asked Questions' at the end the Trade Review"This question-answer, "flash card" type approach is the major advantage of the "self-assessment" book. It allows the reader to invest as little or much time available, with the benefit of learning something new each time. Cases are presented in an unstructured way so that the reader can evaluate one or more cases and need not read an entire chapter or series of cases to learn what the authors had to offer. The small size of the book (14.5 by 21 cm; 219 pages) allows the user to have it in a pocket or purse and read it on a bus or as other time periods become available. The authors are competent and experienced cytologists and clinical pathologists, and their descriptions and interpretations are of value to those wanting to improve their cytologic diagnostic skills." –Harold Tvedten DVM, PhD, University Animal Hospital, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden"Veterinary Cytology offers a wide array of cytology cases to study. Although not exhaustive, it does offer a represntative series of diagnostic scenariosfor various species.Updated from the first edition 10 years previous, the secnd edition continues to focus on teaching cytology with a practical and clinical approach. Clinical cases lend a more "real life" interpretation and discussion of the cytology slides provided.... The interpretative guidance offered is excellent and thorough, making Veterinary Cytology worth purchasing."- Janeen Junaid, DVM, MVSc, Locum/Associate Small Animal Veterinarian, Ontario. Reviewed in the Canadian Veterinary Journal 59, July 2018"The format has changed from the previous edition with the answers now being found at the back of the book. This has allowed expansion of the answers, explanations and discussion of each case. The editors’ comments are welcome, adding information and experience to the interpretations. The literature references are up to date and exactly on point. Recommended." – Kathleen Tennant, Clinical lead, diagnostic laboratories, Langford VetsTable of ContentsPrefaceContributors to the first editionContributors to the second editionAbbreviationsConversion FactorsClassification of CasesQuestionsAnswersFAQsReferences
