Infos

Clinical Pathology for the Veterinary Team is a concise, reliable resource for technical team members performing clinical diagnostic evaluation. Focusing on sample handling, machinery calibration, normal physiology and anatomy, clinical diagnostics, and disease processes, the book helps technical team members to consistently achieve high-quality results in small animal lab work. An essential bench-side reference for in-house laboratories, the book includes a DVD with interactive cases to build skills in reading and interpreting digital slides.

With chapters on blood counts, chemistry, urinalysis and electrolytes, advanced diagnostics, and cytology, Clinical Pathology for the Veterinary Team offers key technical information for consistently obtaining and evaluating samples. The book is a practical resource for anyone performing lab work, including veterinary technicians, technician and veterinary students, and veterinarians.

Rezensionen

Clinical Pathology for the Veterinary Team will help experienced
veterinary technicians set up various clinical laboratory
diagnostic tests. It provides a good explanation of basic
laboratory practices, the underlying concepts of many laboratory
tests, and the physiology of common disease conditions. This book
is well worth the price. (Journal of the American Veterinary
Medical Association, December 2010)

This book provides a good overall summary of basic clinical
pathology in small animals. Although it is fairly short and
concise, it contains all the necessary relevant information and
includes a CD that takes readers thorough six complicated cases,
step by step. This is a useful book that would be a handy reference
to have in a practice. It is easy to read, concise, and
informative. Although it is aimed at small animal veterinary teams,
it includes limited information about large animal species, which
is important for a good, general understanding. (Doodys,
December 2010)

Clinical Pathology for the Veterinary Team offers a fine
recourse for technical team members involved in clinical diagnostic
evaluation. Machinery calibration, normal anatomy, clinical
diagnostics and more are revealed in chapters that provide key
technical information for Obtaining and evaluating samples,
surveying the disease process, the progress of identification and
treatment, and including a DVD with interactive cases. Vet
collections need this! (The Midwest Book Review, November
2010)

Rosenfeld, a veterinarian who is associated with an education
corporation that specializes in seminar training for the hospital
team, and Dial (veterinary science and microbiology, U. of Arizona)
provide a resource for technical veterinary team members performing
clinical diagnostic evaluation in small animal lab work. (Book
News, September 2010)

It will also be essential reading for those preparing for
professional qualifications such as FIBMS and FRCPath, possibly
even MRCP, and will serve as an excellent resources for the more
senior researcher, lecturer and academic. (The Bulletin of
The Royal College of Pathologists, January 2013)
