Ebook of Cardiology of the Horse PDF Download

Cardiology of the Horse

 Cardiology of the Horse, 2nd Edition
By Celia Marr, BVMS, MVM, PhD, MRCVS and Mark Bowen, BVetMed, PhD, CertEM(IntMed), MRCVS 

NOT YET PUBLISHED

• Expected Release Date: 11.22.2010

• Hardcover Reference
• 320 Pages

• ISBN: 978-0-7020-2817-5
• Copyright: 2011

Since the publication of the first edition of this book, significant advances continue to be made in equine cardiology. In that text, the focus was on the role of the clinician in the diagnosis of heart disease in horses. Recently epidemiological studies have provided a much fuller understanding on the prevalence and clinical impact of cardiac murmurs in equine athletes and in the older, general horse population while several new treatment options have been introduced. These are largely underpinned by work in the area of neuroendocrinology that not only informs our understanding of cardiac physiology and pathophysiology but also provides novel targets for therapeutic intervention.
Electrocardioversion and electrical pacing are now feasible in equine patients and this introduces an exciting alternative to drug therapy in a variety of dysrhythmias.
New material has been included in this edition to reflect these developments, while maintaining the original format in which separate sections are devoted to (1) fundamental and applied physiology, (2) diagnostic methods and (3) clinical problems in equine cardiology. The hard copy has been supplemented with a series of clinical cases in digital format that have been selected to illustrate clinical problems with audio and video material. We hope this will greatly enhance the book’s value to students and experienced clinicians alike.
Research in equine cardiology continues to be a vibrant area of endeavour for basic and clinical research workers across the world. In the UK, postgraduate clinical training programmes and fundamental and applied research have been generously supported by both the Horse Trust and the Horserace Betting Levy Board and we are delighted to have this opportunity to acknowledge the important contribution that these organizations have made towards a better understanding of cardiac disease and function in equine athletes and to the improvement in the welfare of horses with heart disease.

Ebook of Equine Infectious Diseases PDF Download

Equine Infectious Diseases

 

Equine Infectious Diseases, 2nd Edition

Edited by Debra C. Sellon, DVM, PhD, DACVIM and Maureen Long, DVM, PhD, DACVIM 

 Ideal for both practitioners and students, Equine Infectious Diseases, 2nd Edition covers the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious disease in horses. Organized by infectious agent - viral, bacterial and rickettsial, protozoal, and fungal - it includes complete coverage of the individual diseases caused by each type of agent. A section on clinical problems offers effective treatment for conditions such as ocular infections, CNS infections, and skin infections. Preventing and controlling infectious disease outbreaks is addressed with information on epidemiology, biosecurity, antimicrobial therapy, and recognizing foreign equine diseases.

 EQUINE INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Authors: D C Sellon and M Long
Publisher: Saunders


This is an extremely comprehensive and detailed reference book on infectious diseases of horses with contributions from many world renowned experts in their various fields. It covers both organ system infections and discussion of specific viral, bacterial, rickettsial, fungal and parasitic diseases and has a final section on the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Recognition, treatment and control of infectious diseases remains the cornerstone of clinical equine practice, never more so now climate change is leading to the spread of disease vectors and bringing diseases previously considered exotic to more temperate regions of the world.

Inevitably, the book has a North American bias, as the editors are based at North American Universities and the majority of the contributors are based in North America. Nevertheless, this does not detract from its value as a reference book. The chapters are extremely well illustrated and include a wide variety of illustrations of clinical cases, pathological specimens and histological slides. There is extensive discussion of the laboratory diagnosis of each disease with detailed information on the biochemical characterisation of each organism. Detailed references are included on an easy to use CD-ROM.

Unfortunately, given the rapidly changing nature of infectious diseases, some subjects are already out of date. For example, no mention is made of the recent Irish outbreak of Equine Infectious Anaemia and the unusual epidemiological features of this outbreak.

This is an extremely comprehensive, well illustrated summary of equine infectious disease and I can thoroughly recommend it to all those who wish to obtain detailed summaries of the major equine diseases. The section on Prevention and Control of infectious diseases is particularly useful in illustrating the approach to diagnosis and control of infectious diseases, with detailed discussion of epidemiology, biosecurity and antimicrobial therapy.

With the ever increasing international travel of horses and climate changes it has never been more important for equine veterinary surgeons to be alert to the possibilities of new and emerging diseases in the U.K. This book will provide an essential reference for all those wishing to be informed on both familiar and less familiar infectious diseases of horses.
