This is a pioneering book in veterinary medicine. The reader will be able to visualize what really is happening in a diseased heart. Through three-dimensional representation and augmented reality; every disorder can be seen, almost touching the 3D model above the book. The pathologies' changes in blood flow can be visualized, bringing the reader even closer to the pathophysiological reality. The text addresses the major points of pathophysiology and diagnostic keys for the most common diseases, and the illustrations and pictures are a bridge between the 3D models and the text. Thus, the book succeeds in joining diagnosis, particularly a test such as echocardiography, to understand the pathophysiology.
This book, structured according to the normal anatomical areas in radiological diagnostic imaging: abdomen, neck, thorax, limbs, spine, and head, offers the key aspects of both radiographic interpretation and the diagnosis of diseases, as well as a special chapter with the most common diagnostic errors. Its more than 500 high-resolution images are accompanied by the necessary text to increase their descriptive value. In addition, the book is complemented by multimedia material, which can be accessed through QR codes located throughout the text. In this way, the reader can access different normal radiographic anatomy diagrams, both with and without the anatomical details identified. All these elements make this book a reference in the field of clinical radiology.
Infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens characterized by respiratory signs comprising gasping, coughing, sneezing, tracheal rales and nasal discharge. In addition, severe respiratory distress may occur in young chickens. Respiratory distress, decrease in egg production, and loss of internal egg quality and eggshell quality have been reported in layers. Some strains of the virus produce severe kidney damage and may be associated with high mortality.

Vaccination is one of the cornerstones of poultry production. In fact, it is one of the aspects that most influence production parameters in the poultry industry. In broilers, the optimum time of vaccination should aim at obtaining the maximum meat yield. In layers and breeders, both time and the route of administration have an influence in the quality of egg shells and the number of eggs per laying, among others.
