Handbook entirely dedicated to the most highlighted challenges of bovine reproduction in terms of ultrasound diagnosis. This publication has been developed with a practical and visual approach, using many resources (images, tables, flow charts, etc.) to help readers better interpret the contents.
Manuel Fernández Sánchez, author of the best seller The Oestrus Cycle of the Cow. A Photographic Atlas, now brings us his second book Reproduction and ultrasound examination in cattle, published by Servet. It offers a detailed comparison of the uterine and ovarian structures in all phases of the oestrous cycle. This publication is characterized by an original introduction to both photographic and ultrasound images of the different anatomical structures and their pathological conditions. In this way, the author succeeds in simplifying the interpretation of reproductive diagnosis using ultrasound, by guiding the reader and enabling him to visualise the structures on which ultrasonography is performed.
The cow’s peripartum period from a practical and dynamic point of view, explained through theoretical explanations and a huge collection of clinical cases. Normally, disorders or conditions occurring in the peripartum period are not independent events; they are the result of the interaction of several events occurring over time. The authors highlight here the importance of assessing bovine pathologies as a whole. It is the only manner for the clinician to anticipate conditions that may appear during the peripartum period.
Pere Mercader, a consultant with wide experience in the veterinary sector, provides us with the keys to efficient veterinary centre management and IT management tools for calculations and assessments in the clinic.
Updated review of Newcastle disease presented in a visual and practical manner. The chapter dedicated to the clinical diagnosis of the disease will surely be of great interest to the reader. The vaccination section provides the main guidelines to prevent vaccine failures and control the immunological status of the operation.
Due to the introduction of ultrasound, the acquisition of new anatomy and sonoanatomy knowledge, as well as recent discoveries on the role of the fascia, regional anesthesia has undergone a process of "evolution-revolution" in the last decade and now is playing a key-role in surgery and postoperative pain management, allowing opioid-sparing or opioid-free strategies, in line with the ERAS pathway.
Covering neurophysiology, biomechanics, functional anatomy, joint and muscle evaluation, the Handbook of Kinesiology is a concise and exhaustive guide to understand the human movement. In particular, it provides the essential elements to evaluate the mobility of all joints and the strength of the main muscles.
