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.
Mountain Emergency Medicine has seen exponential development due to the ever-increasing number of people who hike or trek as well as practice extreme sports. Emergency physicians and nurses need to be equipped with the necessary training to be able to manage “on the field” accidents and sicknesses as well as their own physical security. Theoretical knowledge is generally of high level but practical expertise is dangerously lacking in many operators. Furthermore, treatment modalities on the field have not been completely codified and are not supported by internationally-accepted guidelines. This book is the first to offer a complete and thorough approach to this field of Emergency Medicine based on the latest research findings.
