DTF newsletter July 2024
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal July 1, 2024

July 1, 2024

Dear colleagues Welcome to the July issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, masterfully prepared, as always, by our outstanding managing editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. This issue is full of information about the many training opportunities around the world, in several languages. One of the great pieces of news this month is that the new Davis-Thompson Foundation University Membership webpage is now open! This online system will make it easier to add the faculty and trainees in your department. When their account becomes affiliated with your university account, they will automatically be offered member discounts on any Foundation courses for which they are offered (no more having to choose from a list of prices) and will also be given access to freebies, such as discount coupons for merchandise, videos on demands, and other items. We have also moved the nominations for the trainee award online for our university members. For more information contact Bruce Williams at bruce.h.williams.dvm(a)gmail.com<mailto:bruce.h.williams.dvm@gmail.com>. On training opportunities, and just to mention a few ones, registration for our newest course, Foundations of Pathology is now open. This course, which comes to replace our classic Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course, is highly recommended for first-year residents. Please notice that seats are limited and once registration is complete, we will not be able to accept new registrations. POLA and "Just in time mock exams" are coming very soon. And do not forget the 3-day hands-on Racehorse Necropsy Workshop co-sponsored by the Horse Integrity and Safety Authority, a "must" for those doing necropsies of racehorses. On another topics, our great IT volunteer and member of the Foundation Board of Directors, Dr Mike Dark, has been working hard to post the current and previous newsletters on our website, where they will be available very soon at https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/newsletter-archive/ Last, but not least, in this issue, I want to highlight the Diagnostic Exercises (DE) of the Latin Comparative Pathology Group and the Davis-Thompson Foundation, which have been distributed around the world and posted in our website uninterruptedly since 2010. The DE are currently edited by our fantastic Editor in Chief, Dr Claudio Barros. This is an incredibly useful training resource and I encourage all of you, whether you are a member of the LCPG/DTF or not, to contribute; please check the instructions for submission in our website at: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/diagnostic-exercises-instructions/ Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities.

Equine Toxicologic Pathology Study Help
by Bruce Williams June 29, 2024

June 29, 2024

Hello! I am reaching out to see if there are any Davis-Thompson Members that have an interest in equine toxicologic pathology. One of our faculty members has a research project at UT that requires a drug safety assessment for between 24-32 horses. The researchers are looking for options for histopathology and our service is operating at maximum capacity just within the diagnostic realm. We are happy to perform the necropsies and collect tissues but are looking for a ACVP board-certified pathologist comfortable in drug safety studies to perform the histopathologic assessment required. For a little background on the study: The compound is from a novel class of analgesics (there are no drugs currently on the market from this class). A formulation is currently in phase 1b FDA clinical trial in humans. We are evaluating the veterinary formulation. Where the latter works across species, the former is specific to humans with minimal to no activity in animals. There are in vitro and in vivo studies that indicate it is a promising treatment for neuropathic conditions and in horses it is specifically being evaluated for laminitis and osteoarthritis with positive results. If interested in this opportunity or have additional questions, please contact me at slinn2(a)utk.edu Best, *Sarah C. Linn-Peirano, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVP* Assistant Professor of Anatomic Pathology Director of Anatomic Pathology Department of Biomedical & Diagnostic Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine University of Tennessee 2407 River Drive Knoxville, TN 37996 Office: A230 Email: slinn2(a)utk.edu Pronouns: she/her/hers
