Leukemia is a heterogeneous group of lymphohematopoietic neoplastic diseases affecting cats and dogs with a relatively high frequency and generally showing non-specific clinical signs. A correct diagnosis of the different types of leukemia (Acute Lymphoid Leukemia, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) and the identification of putative prognostic factors are based on the use of different laboratory tests including hematology, cytology, bone marrow biopsy, flow cytometry/immunohistochemistry. A comprehensive interpretation of the laboratory results is mandatory to differentiate leukemia from leukemic lymphoma and other similar hematological diseases, accurately identify the type of leukemia, and adequately predict prognosis and tailor therapy.
Nephropathology is a unique specialization in anatomic pathology, and a complete set of analyses comprising LM, IF, and TEM should always be considered. When performing a renal biopsy, few criteria should be encountered. First, the biopsy should be considered a procedure to improve therapy, and the biopsy should be done safely. An expert and specialized neuropathologist should evaluate the tissue sample to get the most informative description using all the methods required to characterize the pathological changes. The required methods for renal biopsy evaluation include special staining protocols for light microscopic (LM) evaluation, as well as for transmission electron microscopic (TEM) and immunofluorescence evaluations (IF).
Esta obra aporta toda la información teórica y práctica imprescindible para comprender e identificar las anomalías del ritmo cardiaco. Es especialmente útil para diagnosticar con precisión las arritmias más complejas empleando criterios electrocardiográficos precisos desarrollados por los autores mediante la confirmación de los mecanismos de las arritmias con estudios electrofisiológicos intracardiacos. Este libro es una referencia imprescindible para cualquier profesional interesado en aprender las bases de la electrocardiografía y aquellos que se enfrentan al reto de interpretar las arritmias más complejas en ámbitos clínicos o de investigación.
La microscopia de contraste de fase es un nuevo instrumento en manos de los médicos.

Leveraging the experience of the School of Ferrara, which pioneered aligner treatment in Europe more than twenty years ago, this book is a fascinating journey in the world of aligners.
Prevention has historically been limited to oral hygiene and not as frequently addressed with the condition of the entire dentition. When we practice in this manner, we are perceived as a commodity, and there is little to differentiate ourselves or our expertise. However, when we approach our patients in a comprehensive manner, our critical thinking is enhanced. We now start to look beyond restorative solutions. Considering other disciplines often leads to more predictable outcomes.
After the introduction in the 1980s of minimally invasive surgery in human medicine, laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery started to take hold also in veterinary medicine. Thanks to its reduced invasiveness and its fast post-operative recovery, minimally invasive surgery started to expand so quickly that nowadays it has become the preferred technique for many surgical procedures. Laparoscopy and Thoracoscopy in the dog and cat is a comprehensive book that describe all the minimally invasive surgical procedures.
This second edition of the book enhances its original goal of aiding veterinary practitioners in radiographic interpretation and pathological diagnosis. It builds upon the first edition by introducing a chapter on radiology principles and a comprehensive atlas for radiographic positioning and anatomy. The edition includes 400 new images and has updated existing graphics to improve quality. Additionally, the book features new multimedia content accessible via QR codes in the text, allowing readers to view diagrams of normal radiographic anatomy, both labeled and unlabeled, for better understanding and reference.
