Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter February 2024
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Feb. 1, 2024

Feb. 1, 2024

Dear colleagues Welcome to the February 2024 issue of the Davis Thompson Newsletter prepared by our outstanding managing editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. This issue comes, as usual, with myriad information on all our training activities around the globe, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. By the time you receive these pages, the first of the Foundation's "Big 4", our 2024 General Pathology Review Course, will be in full swing and scheduled to finish on February the 8th with a special mock exam. This course is being offered fully online. Registration for the other three of the "Big 4" (CLIIC, POLA and Descriptive Pathology Course) will open soon. Keep an eye out for them. Starting this month, we will be featuring a case of the Western Round Robin, a slide conference that has been running for 30+ years among veterinary diagnostic laboratories. This year, for the first time, the conference is being held digitally and the slides submitted by the participating laboratories are uploaded to Noah's slidebox. Thanks a lot to all the participants! You can check the conference in the website (https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/wsi_archive/?wdt_column_filter[2]=West%…<https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/wsi_archive/?wdt_column_filter%5b2%5d=W…>) and in the following pages. We are very proud to announce the free online publication of two atlases of Histopathology and Gross pathology, respectively, of equine abortion and reproductive loss. These two masterpieces were produced by a multidisciplinary team of equine clinicians, epidemiologists and pathologists in Australia. Look them up in the E-Books section of our website or follow this link: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/equine-abortion-ebook-demo/ Also, look at the announcement of the "Archivo Veterinario del Este" a great compilation of cases put together by Dr Fernando Dutra in Uruguay. As we explained in previous editions, this document is in Spanish, but for those who are not familiar with this language, the outstanding images speak volumes in the international "language of pathology". Last but not least, I want to highlight again our great Volunteer Appreciation Campaign that started last year and will continue for the foreseeable future. Thank you Rafaela De Negri for the great job you are doing organizing this campaign! All the activities of the Foundation are done by volunteers, who are the pillars of our organization. Please thank them warmly any time you have the pleasure to interact with them. Looking forward to seeing everyone in one of our seminars. Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

With his death, the entire veterinary pathology community loses one of its finest members. Please see the Obituary presented by the Spanish Society of Anatomic Veterinary Pathology in the following pages. As always, this edition has announcements on abundant opportunities in person and virtual all over the world, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Find out about them in these pages and/or in our website: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/events- . Several excellent reviews of our most recent seminars are also available. Great news for our Portuguese-speaking colleagues: this month we will be uploading to our website a free Portuguese translation of Chris Gardiner's Atlas of metazoan parasites in animal tissues, generously translated by Dr Igor Santos (thank you Igor!!). Last but not least, please have a look at the "Volunteer corner" a new volunteer appreciation section prepared by Dr Rafaela de Negri (thank you Rafa!).

Job opening, anatomic pathologist Alabama state diagnostic lab (Auburn, AL)
by Jey Koehler Aug. 29, 2023

Aug. 29, 2023

There is an opening for an ACVP-boarded or board-eligible anatomic pathologist at the Thompson-Bishop-Sparks state diagnostic laboratory in Auburn, Alabama. Please find the details in the attached document. This is a wonderful, modern facility with a bunch of great people and an especially outstanding director. If you are interested in 100% diagnostic pathology, this is a fantastic place to work with a varied but not overwhelming caseload. There are opportunities for resident teaching at rounds and even the occasional lecture to vet students if desired, but the position is not a faculty position. I can personally attest that Auburn is a great place to live: a lovely, tree-filled, vibrant, medium-sized university town close to many rivers and hiking and biking trails. It’s about 4 hours to the gorgeous sugar-white beaches of the Florida panhandle and about 4 to the mountains of north Georgia and the Smokies! Public schools here are excellent, and the cost of living is reasonable. There is a performing arts center and a museum, and Atlanta is 1.5 hours away for additional cultural and entertainment opportunities (and the busiest international airport in the US, so travel to anywhere in the world is easy-peasy). The presence of the university creates a more cosmopolitan and international community than is present in some other areas of the state, so stay open-minded when you hear “Alabama”! 😊 Jey W.

From the JPC - upcoming changes in VSPO
by Bruce Williams Aug. 28, 2023

Aug. 28, 2023

From the JPC: We wish to make you aware of an upcoming change to VSPO. As a result of continued evolution of programming languages and the increased familiarity with whole slide images (WSI) by our customer base, effective 31 August 2023 the JPC will discontinue the “hotbox/diagnostic series” feature on the VSPO site. The “hotbox” feature was programmed in HTML v.3.2 (a full decade before the advent of WSI), but is no longer compatible with current programming languages. Disabling this feature means that viewing VSPO entities as unknowns is also discontinued; however, we are exploring means to restore this particular feature with WSI. Whole slide images continue to be available for each entity and can be accessed by using the username “guest” with no password. -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

Clinical Track Faculty Position in Anatomic Pathology
by Bruce Williams July 16, 2023

July 16, 2023

*Clinical Track Faculty Position in Anatomic Pathology* *Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences * *College of Veterinary Medicine * *Cornell University **Ithaca, NY * The Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences <https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments/population-medicine-and-diagnostic-…> in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University invites applications for a clinical track faculty position in the Section of Anatomic Pathology. This individual will join a group of nine ACVP board-certified pathologists whose goals include providing outstanding diagnostic services (necropsy and biopsy); training anatomic pathology residents and fellows; teaching veterinary students in the preclinical years in the core curriculum, on the necropsy rotation; and advancing the understanding of disease processes through basic and clinical research. The successful candidate will work with the staff of the Anatomic Pathology laboratory <https://www.vet.cornell.edu/animal-health-diagnostic-center/laboratories/an…> in the New York State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (NYSVDL) <https://www.vet.cornell.edu/animal-health-diagnostic-center>, a state-of-the-art diagnostic facility supported by the State of New York. The NYSVDL has capabilities in a wide range of diagnostic modalities housed in 12 dedicated diagnostic sections <https://www.vet.cornell.edu/animal-health-diagnostic-center/laboratories>, including a BSL-3 laboratory, and is accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD). Capabilities in the Anatomic Pathology laboratory include immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, molecular diagnostics, and digital microscopy. The section handles over 9,000 biopsies and 1,600 necropsies per year and is noted for its specialties in dermatopathology, hepatopathology, forensic pathology, and neuropathology. Teaching roles will vary based on the candidate. Anatomic pathology faculty have teaching responsibilities in all four years of the veterinary curriculum that include a range of didactic lectures and laboratory exercises. Opportunities exist to contribute to curricular revitalization and the development of novel teaching modalities. We are a highly interactive group with a strong history of funded collaborations, several ongoing multi-investigator grant subcontracts, and joint appointments across a number of departments.

The Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences promotes the health, productivity, and welfare of food- and fiber-producing animals, companion animals, and zoo and wildlife populations, to ensure the safety of foods of animal origin and to prevent animal disease with its associated risks to human health. We build on three major strengths: the population dynamics of health and disease, interaction with production animals and producers, and the laboratory diagnostic sciences. The Animal Health Diagnostic Center provides a rich environment for pathologists, with diagnostic specimens submitted from animal populations world-wide. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree and have completed a three-year residency in veterinary pathology. Board certification in veterinary pathology (ACVP, ECVP) is preferred, but board-eligible individuals are encouraged to apply. The candidate must have strong interpersonal and communication (written and oral) skills, as well as the ability to work cooperatively with clinicians at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals and at external clinics. Applicants are expected to provide diagnostic results in a timely manner and be actively engaged in client communication. Distribution of effort in the Section and Department will be determined in accordance with the service needs, academic priorities, and candidate expertise and academic goals.

The VOPA is a *FREE* online histopathology atlas with dozens of veterinary ocular pathology cases from the COPLOW lab containing clinical information, gross images, and fully annotated scanned (APERIO) slides. The VOPA project was spearheaded by Dr. Ryan Taylor (former COPLOW pathologist, now anatomic pathology faculty at Cornell University) and through a partnership between COPLOW and VetDermPath Atlas, particularly Dr. David Gardiner (DACVP) and Drs. Bernstein and Whitley. Our hope is that the Atlas will be an ever-expanding resource of study material for those interested in ocular pathology, from vet students to board certified pathologists and ophthalmologists. The Atlas can be freely accessed through the link or QR code below: http://bit.ly/3zgmbcx Please share with your students, interns, residents and anyone else you think might be interested, We hope you enjoy it, Best Leandro and the COPLOW team Leandro Teixeira DVM, MSc, Dipl.

Descriptive Veterinary Pathology registration is OPEN!
by Jey Koehler March 10, 2023

March 10, 2023

Look, I'm going to be real with you, folks. Whether you are in a commercial diagnostic pathology lab, an academic institution, a drug discovery team, or a CRO, being able to recognize and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural findings and interpret IHC/ISH and PCR has always mattered, matters now, and will always matter. (At least until ChatGPT starts writing our reports!) The 2023 in-person Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course is a fantastic opportunity to separate yourself from your work responsibilities for a week, focus completely on your own education, and make friends you will have for a lifetime. Is it more expensive and logistically challenging to travel? Yes. Is the experience of taking this one precious week to focus only on your learning and not be distracted by 100 other things worth it? YES!! Please join us as we return to in-person format for the Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition to many hours of lectures by Drs. Linden Craig, Patty Pesavento, and myself, as well as FIVE mock tests including multiple-choice and slide descriptions, registration includes coffee breaks and a catered lunch each day. On Wednesday evening we have a social hour where you can get to know your fellow participants and hang out with the instructors and local hosts. Minneapolis/St. Paul is usually gorgeous in the summer, with tons of great restaurants and breweries! The schedule will run Wednesday to Sunday rather than Monday through Friday, in an effort to help people minimize the number of days off they need to negotiate. Please join us! For more information and to register, visit https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/event/2023-descriptive-veterinary-patho… Please note: in an effort to make sure we achieve numbers of participants that support the in-person option and the extra work and expense that entails, there will be no hybrid, virtual, or recorded option this year. Register soon! If you are unable to come to Minneapolis this year, please continue to use the many, many study resources that the Foundation provides free of charge, like Free Friday and REWIND seminars, the many great videos on the YouTube channel, Noah's Arkive and Noah's Slidebox, the LCPG Diagnostic Exercises, and more.

March issue of Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter
by Francisco A. Uzal March 1, 2023

March 1, 2023

Dear colleagues Welcome to the March issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter, brilliantly prepared, as always, by our great Managing Editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Thank you Javier and Jeann! This issue is chock full of information about our myriad training activities around the globe, including, amongst others, three of the 4 "big ones": Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course, CLIIC, CLASS & POLA (Gen Path was already successfully completed in February). Also, have a look at the table of activities in Latin America with an impressive number of courses and seminars throughout the continent! Of particular interest is the article prepared by our Chief Financial Officer, Dr Bruce Williams, on the Foundation's Noah's Slidebox, a terrific new addition to the training toolbox of the Foundation and available for free to pathologists and trainees around the globe. This month we are very proud to present in our "Expert's Corner" section a great article prepared by Dr Roger Kelly (University of Queensland, Australia) on gross examination of the bone marrow. As Roger explains in his article, this is knowledge that comes after many years of working in the PM room and is hard, or sometimes impossible, to find in the literature. Another legend of veterinary pathology, Dr Grant Maxie, has provided this month's fantastic editorial on ongoing competence of diagnostic veterinary pathologists; look it in "JVDI in focus". Thank you Roger and Grant. Looking forward to seeing everyone in one of our seminars. Kind regards Francisco (Paco) Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Curious about multiomic pathology?
by Bruce Williams Feb. 24, 2023

Feb. 24, 2023

*Curious about multiomic pathology? Don't have any idea what it is? Explore with other histopathologists.* Greetings Histopathologists. Mass multiplexing immunofluorescence and in-situ hybridization in FFPE have just started to decode our 200-year old oral tradition of interpreting H&E slides. If you've spent time around the engineers, microscopists, molecular biologists and bioinformaticians who are advancing this technology, you may have longed for someone you can discuss these technologies and data with from a histopath perspective. Long no more! We are starting a Multiomic Histopathology Journal Club where we can speak pathology and anatomy without wondering if anyone understands our language. At the same time, MHJC will always be a place where newcomers can be comfortable asking basic questions like *what is segmentation?* Anyone who is interested please send me an email. Have a great day histopathologists! Ken (Self-appointed secretary of the MHJC) Kenneth Kim Dipl.

Dear Colleagues Welcome to the November issue of the Davis Thompson Foundation's Newsletter, with our heartfelt thanks to our outstanding Managing Editors, Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. As you peruse these pages, I hope you are as impressed as we are with the quantity and quality of the training activities that are the hallmark of your Foundation's mission. To highlight just a few, in October we kicked off with an outstanding full day of neuropathology during the DTF-AAVLD pre-meeting workshop in Minneapolis, given by Drs Raquel Rech, Kevin Woolard and Andrew Miller, and attended by a great crowd both in the room and virtually. Then, the first Foundation's Latin American Roadshow brought one of the greats of world pathology, Dr Alfonso Lopez, to Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Colombia, where for two weeks he shared his enormous knowledge and experience with more than 300 colleagues and students. This is a new initiative of the Foundation, and it will be repeated annually, bringing some of the best pathologists of the world to Latin America. November is also full of great training opportunities, including the full-day DTF-ACVP Pre-Meeting Workshop in Boston, on Tumors of bone, cartilage and dental tissue, delivered by Drs Keren Dittmer, Rob Foster and Cincy Bell. If you are in Boston, remember also that on Monday night the Foundation will host the traditional Award Ceremony, this year face to face for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. Come and join us to celebrate our trainees and volunteers. Finally, both at the Pre-Meeting Workshop and the Award Ceremony during the ACVP meeting, we will be offering Foundation's merchandise and textbooks at a significantly discounted rate.
