Readers will enjoy a comprehensive atlas providing some practical advice for everyday surgical practice based on solid scientific evidence.
The immunologist and bestselling author Attilio Speciani dispels the clichés about so-called ‘food intolerances’ and guides the reader to a healthy and better relationship with food. Colitis, migraines, hormonal changes, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, imbalances of metabolism and many other disorders, from the most common to the most severe, are often related to diet. There is a close relationship between food and health, and when the natural and physiological relationship with food changes, due to food excesses or the repeated introduction of food, the organism generates measurable inflammatory signals that induce and maintain many conditions or diseases.
There is a need to publicize the syndromes occurring in veterinary personnel due to work-related stress. Vets are apathetic or leaving the profession.

This is a pioneering book in veterinary medicine. The reader will be able to visualize what really is happening in a diseased heart. Through three-dimensional representation and augmented reality; every disorder can be seen, almost touching the 3D model above the book. The pathologies' changes in blood flow can be visualized, bringing the reader even closer to the pathophysiological reality. The text addresses the major points of pathophysiology and diagnostic keys for the most common diseases, and the illustrations and pictures are a bridge between the 3D models and the text. Thus, the book succeeds in joining diagnosis, particularly a test such as echocardiography, to understand the pathophysiology.
Twenty per cent of visits to the vet may be due to otitis and, although in general they do not represent a serious condition for the animal, they may become very insidious processes if they are not treated suitably. This work presents a selection of clinical cases to help vets to establish the proper guidelines for treatment, management and control.
This book, structured according to the normal anatomical areas in radiological diagnostic imaging: abdomen, neck, thorax, limbs, spine, and head, offers the key aspects of both radiographic interpretation and the diagnosis of diseases, as well as a special chapter with the most common diagnostic errors. Its more than 500 high-resolution images are accompanied by the necessary text to increase their descriptive value. In addition, the book is complemented by multimedia material, which can be accessed through QR codes located throughout the text. In this way, the reader can access different normal radiographic anatomy diagrams, both with and without the anatomical details identified. All these elements make this book a reference in the field of clinical radiology.
Infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens characterized by respiratory signs comprising gasping, coughing, sneezing, tracheal rales and nasal discharge. In addition, severe respiratory distress may occur in young chickens. Respiratory distress, decrease in egg production, and loss of internal egg quality and eggshell quality have been reported in layers. Some strains of the virus produce severe kidney damage and may be associated with high mortality.
