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.
Very visual handbook aimed at veterinary professionals and dealing with everything related to fleas and ticks, focusing particularly on clinical issues in dogs and cats. The first part is entirely dedicated to fleas (including their identification, life cycle, clinical signs derived from flea infestation, flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), and prevention and control measures, among others). The second part describes thoroughly everything that involves ticks infestation (including species identification and their geographic distribution, feeding behaviour, the biting process, diseases transmitted by ticks, prevention and control measures, etc.).
Although nasal cytology is still a little used diagnostic approach, it has often proved to be decisive: it makes it possible to distinguish between different forms of rhinopathy – inflammatory from infectious, allergic from non-allergic vasomotor, and bacterial from viral and fungal forms, as well as to diagnose the presence, in the same patient, of various “overlapping” forms. It is also important to consider other important aspects that make cytology a practical diagnostic method, accessible to all rhinoallergology services: the simplicity and low invasiveness of the technique. This book fills a gap given that, to date, there have been no textbooks or atlases dealing with this specific topic.
