Authors:
Hardcover, 908 pages
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
Publication Date: 2008-05-27
Edition: 2

Reviews :

    This book provides in-depth information about common clinical laboratory assays that are used to evaluate domestic mammals, including what assays measure, sample or assay conditions that affect results, and what results indicate about the physiologic or pathologic state of a patient. Whenever possible, diseases and conditions are grouped by common mechanisms or processes to promote a conceptual understanding of laboratory data that can be generally applied across many species.

New to the second edition are additional disorders, diagnostic tests, illustrations, images, references, and pathophysiologic explanations. This text has proven valuable to students and veterinarians wanting a fundamental understanding of veterinary clinical pathology....

Duncan and Prasse's Veterinary Laboratory Medicine: Clinical Pathology, 4th Ed.
Authors: Kenneth S. Latimer. Edward A. Mahaffey. Keith W. Prasse.
Hardcover, 450 pages
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
Publication Date: 2003-04-18
Edition: 4

Reviews :

    Duncan and Prasse's Veterinary Laboratory Medicine provides the reader with an excellent overview of veterinary clinical pathology. The new edition retains its elegantly simple outline format and section organization (physiology, evaluation disorders, disorders, and appropriate clinical cases). This enables readers to quickly identify key words, ideas and information in the text. Each chapter is followed by a current reference list, primarily from refereed professional journals.

As in previous editions, the fourth edition applies a problem-solving approach to interpretation of laboratory data. The authors stress the differential diagnosis of the abnormal laboratory value, and emphasize the mechanism or pathophysiology of the various abnormalities rather than specific diseases....

Pathology of Pet and Aviary Birds
Authors: Robert E. Schmidt. Drury R. Reavill. David N. Phalen.
Hardcover, 234 pages
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
Publication Date: 2003-04-18
Edition: 1

Reviews :

    With the growth in the bird owning public, has come a commensurate growth in the number of veterinarians providing care for birds, and an enormous increase in the knowledge of the husbandry and diseases of these birds, including several comprehensive textbooks of avian medicine and surgery. Since birds are now common mainstream pets there is also a need for diagnostic veterinary pathologists to be familiar with the diseases of these species.

The aim of this book is to bring together in one volume a comprehensive review of the gross and histologic features of the diseases of pet and aviary bird, provide a guide to ancillary diagnostics, and a context in which to interpret the pathologic findings....

Authors: David O. Slauson. Barry J. Cooper.
Hardcover, 430 pages
Publisher: Mosby
Publication Date: 2001-08-01
Edition: 3

Reviews :

    For nearly 20 years, Slauson-Cooper has been the book of choice in general veterinary pathology. Now totally revised and updated, this new third edition continues to focus on recent advances in the understanding of the complex mechanisms by which mammals become sick. It introduces readers to disease concepts inherent in clinical medicine through the study of pathogenetic mechanisms, and stresses the importance of critical thinking throughout. Still the only text devoted to general veterinary pathology, MECHANISMS OF DISEASE, 3rd Edition, strikes a good balance between the detail required for sophisticated explanations of disease mechanisms and "information overload."...
