The use of intravenous access devices is fundamental for all patients needing frequent blood sample collection, artificial nutrition, chemotherapy, antibiotic therapy, and any other intravenous treatment.
In clinical medicine and in emergency medicine especially, is crucial to understand and manage the acid-base and electrolyte disorders. This text, the result of years of clinical and educational activity, is organized in three parts: acid-base balance, water and sodium and electrolytes. Clinical interpretation and therapy are discussed through clinical cases that are the main educational tools.
This illustrated work has the aim to assist the veterinary surgeon with his/her communication with the pet owner. Following the last book spirit dedicated to surgery, in this atlas, the drawings about internal and external parasites of dogs and cats will make easier the explanations of the veterinary surgeon to his/her customers, as well as the control, prevention, and treatment plans that the veterinary surgeon needs to set up in some cases. The clarity and accuracy of the drawings, designed to make it understandable and to reduce the time spent on the explanations to the pet owner, make this atlas another useful clinical tool. This book is aimed at veterinary surgeons, students, teachers, and professionals in this field.
Servet presents the third volume of the publication “Small animal surgery”, which describes the main surgical procedures on the cranial abdomen of the dog, cat and ferret.

In this book PNEI paradigm presents itself in its full extension: from the description of the historical and philosophical bases to the biological revolution underway; from the description of nervous, neuroendocrine, immune, and psychic systems and their reciprocal influences; to the modulation tools of the human network for preventive and therapeutic uses.
How to “jump” in a full-mouth rehabilitation? Are we ready to leave the comfort zone of the “single tooth dentistry”? It is a different world… If we decide to do it. So many questions to be answered… How can we convince the patient to accept a more global rehabilitation? How can we plan the sequences of the appointments without remakes and waste of time? How can we guide the laboratory technician in developing a customized full-mouth project? Can we do first a reversible test drive of the project? The 3STEP has the answers to all these questions. The 3STEP is a non-invasive functional and esthetic stabilization of the mouth.
This book is intended as a practical guide to enable small animal clinical veterinary surgeons and their teams to improve various aspects of their everyday practice: how they understand and relate to patients and clients, how they manage their work, the handling of animals during different procedures, and the implementation of programs to deal with behavioral issues. These aspects will have a highly positive impact on the well-being of the patient, the client, and the veterinary and support staff, with the implementation of smoother and more effective procedures.
The problem-oriented approach (POA) is the method recommended by the College of Internal Medicine to address and resolve medical questions and problems.
Comprehensive, specialised and practical atlas useful for anyone who is starting out or who wants to delve deeper in the differential aspects of the cat as a surgical patient. It covers the most common surgical interventions in the feline species which are duly explained through photographs and detailed illustrations. The authors have many years of experience in feline medicine and surgery, and their goal is to impart their knowledge in the most practical way possible.
This second edition of the book enhances its original goal of aiding veterinary practitioners in radiographic interpretation and pathological diagnosis. It builds upon the first edition by introducing a chapter on radiology principles and a comprehensive atlas for radiographic positioning and anatomy. The edition includes 400 new images and has updated existing graphics to improve quality. Additionally, the book features new multimedia content accessible via QR codes in the text, allowing readers to view diagrams of normal radiographic anatomy, both labeled and unlabeled, for better understanding and reference.
After the introduction in the 1980s of minimally invasive surgery in human medicine, laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery started to take hold also in veterinary medicine. Thanks to its reduced invasiveness and its fast post-operative recovery, minimally invasive surgery started to expand so quickly that nowadays it has become the preferred technique for many surgical procedures. Laparoscopy and Thoracoscopy in the dog and cat is a comprehensive book that describe all the minimally invasive surgical procedures.
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.
A new application method and a different clinical reasoning compared to other types of taping and bandaging are the basis of the NeuroMuscular decompressive and compressive taping technique. To illustrate this innovative rehabilitation treatment, this book aims to answer these fundamental questions: When is NeuroMuscular Taping applied? How is it applied? What clinical advantages does it offer?
Growing investments in healthcare do not necessarily produce corresponding improvements in the perceived health of their recipients, whether individual patients or society as a whole. Sometimes, even the opposite is true: growing investments in healthcare lead to lower benefits perceived by patients. How to quantify the health regained by patients? How to measure what for does it really matter to them when physical health is not fully recoverable? How to help physicians and administrators identify the correct objectives and improvements? What scientific instruments can estimate the prospect of patients and society in allocating limited resources? The development of the Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROMs) helps answer many of these challenges.
