Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery

 

Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery

by Donald A. Yool
January 2012




Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery provides an introduction to the fundamentals of small animal soft tissue surgery, covering the core principles that underpin all surgery, and key areas of general soft tissue surgery undertaken in general small animal practice. Emphasis is placed on current veterinary practice, the application of basic principles and the importance of patient assessment and appropriate decision making. With a practical focus, the book provides a clear, well-illustrated description of a readily applicable technique for each of the potential problems that face new graduates within non-specialist practices. The learning outcomes at the start of each section define the key areas for undergraduates to focus on and self-assessment MCQs at the end of each section help re-inforce learning outcomes. The text also contains information to enable newly qualified graduates to assess more complex conditions that are frequently encountered in small animal practice. For many practitioners who do not develop a strong interest in more advanced surgery, this text will provide a solid surgical text to last throughout their veterinary career. To enhance accessibility to undergraduate students, the text emphasises the application of a small number of key principles and limit detailed descriptions to a reduced number of key procedures.

Medical Parasitology: A Textbook

 

Medical Parasitology: A Textbook

by Rohela Mahmud, Yvonne Ai Lian Lim, Amirah Amir
February 2018




This textbook will provide a systematic comprehension of the various medically important human parasites; their distribution, habitat, morphology and life cycle, pathogenesis and clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control. The main emphasis is on the protozoan and helminthic diseases, also medical entomology covering vectors relevant to these diseases.

The book aims to promote an easy yet comprehensive way of learning parasitology. It attempts to break down the complexity of medical parasitology into parts that are easy to understand yet integrating the essential information of parasitic infections. The integration of knowledge of parasites will be achieved through student friendly illustrations, inclusion of a collection of recent case reports, examples of test questions and scenarios, and the images of human parasites. Essentially, it provides a “one-stop learning package” for medical parasitology.

Spurgeon’s Color Atlas of Large Animal Anatomy: The Essentials

 

Spurgeon’s Color Atlas of Large Animal Anatomy: The Essentials

by Thomas O. McCracken, Robert A. Kainer, Thomas L. Spurgeon
September 1999


Extraordinary accuracy and beautiful original artwork are just two features readers will find in this new resource, providing a basic foundation in domestic large animal anatomy. Its unique organization includes the anatomy of all organ systems in the various species, described in a consistent manner.

The book presents relevant anatomy of the following species:

  • Horse (with contributors by Dr. Gayle Trotter)
  • Ox (with contributions by Dr. Fran Garry)
  • Sheep and goat (with contributions by Dr. Joan Bowen)
  • Llama and alpaca (with contributions by Dr. LaRue Johnson)
  • Swine (with contributions by Dr. LaRue Johnson)
  • and chicken (with contributions by Dr. John Avens).

Features that enhance understanding:

  • Carefully selected labeling helps students learn and remember structures and relationships.
  • Male and female of a given species are depicted on facing pages so that topographic anatomy is easy to compare.
  • Structures common to various animals are labeled several times, whereas unique structrur5es are labeled only on one or two species so students can make rapid distinctions of the structures peculiar to certain animals.
  • An introduction provides readers with a background in nomenclature and anatomic orientation so they can benefit from the atlas even if they lack training in anatomy.

The Atlas depicts topographic relationships of major organs in a simple, yet technically accurate presentation that’s free of extraneous detail so that those using the atlas can concentrate on the essential aspects of anatomy.
