by Jey Koehler Sept. 16, 2024

Sept. 16, 2024

OK, a few folks have had extenuating circumstances and we inadvertently failed to add a deadline on the website event so if you wanted to go to Foundations of Pathology but got locked out then today's your lucky day! We will be re-opening registration for Foundations of Pathology in just a little while, and it will close at 12 noon CDT tomorrow. Absolutely no exceptions after that...there is a lot that happens behind-the-scenes after you register and last minute registrations create a lot of extra work for our volunteers. Please remember the following things: 1. You must have a Davis-Thompson Foundation account to register, and you must register using the email you used to make your D-T website account. If you need to use a different email, you need to FIRST log in to your D-T account, click the little person icon in the upper right corner and change the email address associated with your account. This is how the website associates your registration ticket with all the other things related to the course: Canvas access to get lectures and materials, certificates, surveys, etc. 1. Please if at all possible register yourself. If you need to use someone else's credit card to pay that's fine but do not put in their information, put in yours! This makes things so much simpler.

JVDI call for submissions on Interstitial lung disease in domestic animals.
by Bruce Williams Sept. 2, 2024

Sept. 2, 2024

Call for submissions JVDI call for submissions on Interstitial lung disease in domestic animals. Interstitial lung diseases frequently represent a diagnostic challenge for veterinary diagnosticians. This challenge can be identified at all stages of diagnosis, particularly with gross and histologic interpretation. Moreover, each animal species varies in pulmonary physiology, pathology, and frequency of different diseases, which add more layers of complexity to this already-difficult pattern. We aim to expand our knowledge of this intricate pattern to better investigate our lung submissions, describe lesions, and finally diagnose interstitial lung diseases. We are inviting submissions to a JVDI special section on *Interstitial lung disease in domestic animals* to be guest edited by Dr. Francisco R. Carvallo, Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Virginia Tech, and Dr. Jeff Caswell, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph. If you are interested, please submit an abstract of up to 250 words describing your proposed topic by September 30, 2024. Primary research papers, case series, and reviews of a focused topic will be considered, as will single-animal case reports if they are novel and include a review of the literature on the focused topic of the report. For abstracts on topics considered suitable for the special issue, authors will be notified by October 30, 2024, and full submissions will be expected by April 30, 2025. Submitted manuscripts will proceed through the usual JVDI peer-review and editorial processes, with publications expected in the fall of 2025. Page charges of $75/printed page will apply - there is no color page charge for online-only publications. Please submit your abstract to guest editor Dr. Francisco R. Carvallo, fcarvallo(a)vt.edu.

*Call for papers on the pathology of humanized mouse models* ** Over the last decade, the use of humanized mouse models engrafted with a variety of tissues and cells of human origin has become one of the experimental paradigms most frequently used in translational research. This has been possible thanks to the establishment of genetically engineered mice with severely impaired innate and adaptive immune systems, such as NSG or NOG mice, offering a highly permissive recipient environment for the functional integration of the xenotransplanted human components. Humanized mouse models have been successfully employed for diverse experimental applications, including patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) models, preclinical testing of cellular immunotherapies, and other non-neoplastic human diseases. However, a series of unintended post-transplant disorders have been characterized in recent years. These disorders are clinically relevant for mouse recipients, limiting their usage, especially for longer-term studies, and represent potential experimental confounders for interpreting preclinical data. Given the increasing importance of humanized mice, raising awareness of inherent limitations and unintended consequences of human chimerism is paramount to better understanding the preclinical relevance and translational potential of these models. To this aim, veterinary and comparative pathologists working with immunocompromised and humanized mouse models are uniquely positioned to help define the spectrum of experimentally induced and spontaneous (infectious and noninfectious) conditions affecting these chimeric animals through intentional and pathological characterization. Therefore, the journal *Veterinary Pathology* is issuing a call for papers for a special issue on "The Pathology of Humanized Mouse Models" and encouraging submission of primary research papers. *Veterinary Pathology <https://uze9evdbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Lxf0z2n2WJxqiFGETVwGGTEeUeUSAFkf0P…>* is the journal of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists, the European College of Veterinary Pathologists, and the Japanese College of Veterinary Pathologists. Research Papers for the special issue should focus on one or more of the following aspects: (1) Description of naturally occurring diseases (infectious and noninfectious) of immunocompromised mouse strains used for humanization. (2) Description of post-transplant experimentally induced conditions affecting immunocompromised mice used for humanization. (3) Assessment of the pathology endpoints in preclinical studies using mouse recipients for human cellular immunotherapies. (4) Approaches to study the nature and extent of chimerism in humanized mice. (5) Beyond humans, description of chimeric mouse models xenotransplanted with tissues or cells from non-human species. (6) Beyond mice, description of humanized models employing non-nurine immunocompromised animals as recipients. Interested authors are advised to send a short abstract summary or prospectus to the guest editors, *Dr. Charles Assenmacher <chasse(a)vet.upenn.edu>*, *Dr. Enrico Radaelli <enrada(a)vet.upenn.edu>*, and *Dr. Pedro Ruivo <prruivo(a)ucdavis.edu>* before submitting a manuscript. Please submit abstracts for consideration by *Monday, September 30, 2024. *Upon review, corresponding authors will be contacted via e-mail regarding the status of their proposal(s) and the next steps. *Veterinary Pathology *publishes basic and applies research involving domestic, laboratory, and zoo animals, wildlife, poultry, and other animals. The scope of the journal includes novel descriptions of pathologic changes, clinical pathology and clinical-pathologic correlations for natural and experimental diseases of animals, investigations of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of disease (general pathology) and other aspects of pathogenesis, descriptions and use of animal models of human disease, and studies of pharmaceutical and environmental hazards. Manuscripts considered for publication must: 1. have significant importance to animal and/or human health, 2. include new knowledge supported by valid data, 3. address disease mechanisms (pathogenesis, pathophysiology) or pathologic findings in important new or emerging diseases or clinicpathologic correlations, 4. AND be of sufficiently broad interest to be of substantial value to veterinary pathologists. For more info, please contact: *Pedro R.

Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter: September 2024 issue
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Sept. 1, 2024

Sept. 1, 2024

Dear colleagues Welcome to the September issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, skillfully prepared, as usual, by our awesome managing editors, Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. Thank you, Jeann and Javier! As you probably already noticed, the newsletter is becoming increasingly larger. This simply reflects the enormous amount of training activities that the Foundation offers every month, prepared and delivered by our incredibly generous volunteers. Thank you!!! Amongst the myriad training activities offered by the Foundation in the coming weeks/months, there are a few that I wish to highlight: If you are going to Nashville for the annual AAVLD meeting in October, do not forget to register for the DTF Pre-meeting Workshop on Dermatopathology with keynote speakers Dominique J. Wiener and Aline Rodrigues Hoffman. Do not miss this amazing opportunity to deepen your knowledge and network with experts in the field! And talking about AAVLD; in our ongoing commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within our field, we are excited to partner with the AAVLD Committee on DEI (AAVLDEI) to present an engaging workshop titled "Essential Skills for Civil Conversations". This event will take place on Saturday, October 12, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. And remember that registration for the fully revamped Descriptive course, now Foundations of Pathology offered together with the annual meeting of ACVP, is open. Just a few spots are available; hurry up and register. If you are attending ACVP, consider also registering for our pre-meeting workshop "No guts-no glory", on tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, with a great list of speakers. In less than two weeks is the 3-day hands-on Racehorse Necropsy Workshop co-sponsored by the Horse Integrity and Safety Authority, for which only 2 seats remain available. If you registered for the waitlist, please check you emails (and spam folders) for messages from host.1(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org<mailto:host.1@davisthompsonfoundation.org>. Finally, as part of our ongoing efforts to offer scientific literature at very low cost, the Foundation just edited the book Intoxicaciones por plantas, micotoxinas y otras toxinas en rumiantes y équidos de Sudamérica, brilliantly written in Spanish by Drs Franklin Riet-Correa,Juan Francisco Micheloud, Mizael Machado, Fábio de Souza Mendonça, Ana Lucia Schild and Ricardo Antônio de Lemos. This is the first physical book in Spanish edited by the Foundation and we hope that there will be many more coming. The price is $ 40 plus postage; at 500 pages with 256 color illustrations, this is an incredible bargain! Also remember that we will be selling this, plus other books edited by the Foundation at AAVLD and ACVP (at discount prices), which will also save you shipping. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our upcoming seminars.

CLARIFICATION: The JPC;s WSC is NOT being discontinued, just associated RACE credits and self-assessments
by Bruce Williams Aug. 7, 2024

Aug. 7, 2024

JUST TO BE CLEAR - the JPC's WSC is NOT being discontinued. The WSC, now in its 71st year, will begin its 2024-2025 conference in a week and as always, we look forward to it. Since 2017, self-assessments and free RACE credits have been offered to participants. While utilization of this offering was very high during the pandemic, since the return of in-person courses and many additional online CE seminars from various organizations, the number of folks using the WSC for CE has dwindled to the low single digits, so self-assessments and RACE CE is no longer being offered. THE WEDNESDAY SLIDE CONFERENCE ITSELF IS IN NO DANGER!!! (Make sure to check the website at the end of next week for Week 1 results.)

DTF Newsletter: August 2024
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Aug. 1, 2024

Aug. 1, 2024

Dear Colleagues Welcome to the August issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual of our outstanding managing editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. It is with heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Dr Mary Anna Thrall, on July 14. Dr. Thrall was an incredibly accomplished clinical pathologist, who was a prolific and generous contributor to the DTF. During many years she taught clinical pathology for anatomic pathologists for the Foundation in many countries. A full article about her great life is in the following pages. This issue is, as always, full of information about the training activities of the Foundation all over the world in several languages. See them in the following pages or in our website: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/ Remember that registration for one of our newest courses, Foundations of Pathology, is open and there are still a few seats available. Consider registering soon because once registration is complete, we will not be able to accept new registrations. 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. For this particular workshop we have also created a waiting list (see registration page), so if you do not manage to secure a seat, we will consider doing a new version later in the year or early in 2025. One of the many highlights of our July training activities, was the "Just in time mock exams", an incredibly successful two-day meeting attended by a large number of aspiring veterinary anatomic pathologists (good luck to all of you!!!). This seminar will be offered annually in the summer. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities. Warm regards Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

In memoriam - Mary Anna Thrall, 1944-2024
by Bruce Williams July 17, 2024

July 17, 2024

It is with the greatest of sadness that we pass on this news. In addition to the many wonderful things that Mary Anna accomplished in her life, she was a frequent and extremely popular lecturer for the Foundation over the years....she will be missed around the world. *From her daughter, Clarissa Freemyer...* Mary Anna Thrall July 4, 1944 - July 14, 2024 Dr. Mary Anna Thrall was a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, professor of clinical pathology, and a force to be reckoned with of Barnesville, Colorado and St Kitts, passed away at 80 years of age of ovarian cancer, on July 14, 2024. She was born in Montreal, Canada, on July 4th, 1944, to Mariella Godfrey Hull And John Hull. Mary Anna grew up in Patoka, IN. She knew she wanted to be a veterinarian from six years of age. Mary Anna obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of Evansville, her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Purdue University, and her Master's Degree from Colorado State University. Dr. Mary Anna Thrall was a small animal practitioner for four years after receiving her DVM degree. Following her residency in clinical pathology, she was a faculty member in the Department of Pathology at Colorado State University. For 32 years, she helped train over 40 veterinary clinical pathologists at CSU. She joined Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2010 as a full time Professor of Veterinary Clinical Pathology. Dr. Mary Anna Thrall was actively teaching until just weeks ago. Teaching was her passion and she cared more for her students than they will ever know. Dr. Thrall was involved in continuing education to veterinarians and pathologists and has provided more than 300 scientific presentations and continuing education programs. She is author or co-author of numerous scientific publications, abstracts, proceedings, and book chapters, and is the primary author of a clinical pathology textbook, Veterinary Hematology and Clinical Chemistry. Dr. Thrall was a diplomate and former president of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists in Clinical Pathology and was a recipient of the ASVCP Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. Mary Anna was also the recipient of the National Pfizer (Zoetis) AAVMC Distinguished Teaching Award, in 2013. Mary Anna was preceded in death by her mother Mariella Godfrey Hull, her father John Hull, and her half sister Shoan Finch. Dr. Mary Anna Thrall is survived by her half brother John Hull Jr., and her four children. She married her high-school sweetheart, Joe Paul Bammer Sr, and they had Joseph Bammer, her first born son, who is a successful sod farmer from Patoka, IN. Joseph is married to Pam Bammer, and they have three beautiful children: Emily, Katherine, and Grace. Emily has two children, Jack (6) and Finnley (4). Katherine is married to Zac Kempf and they also have two children: Braxton (10) and Fletcher (2 months). Dr. Mary Anna Thrall later married Dr. Francis Freemyer of Barnesville, CO and had three girls Anna, Sarah, and Clarissa. Anna is an Orthopedic Surgeon in Sterling, CO and is married to Josh Brown. Josh and Anna have three children: Evan (6), Nova (6), and Mari (1.5). Sarah is a devoted science teacher in Fort Collins, CO, and is married to Michael Waido. They also have three children: Lily (10), Iris (7), and Poppy (1.5). And lastly, Clarissa, of whom she was most proud as she is a veterinarian and recently completed a veterinarian radiation oncology residency. Clarissa is engaged to Sam O’Brien and they have one child, Willow Claire (3 weeks). Mary Anna had hoped to attend their wedding in September of this year. Dr. Donald Thrall, her significant other, was very close to her heart. They were married for four years prior to divorcing in the 70s. They rekindled their love over the past few years, and Don was there for her until the very end. Mary Anna is also survived by many pets. She had four dogs: Maddie, Puff, Coco, and Bruce. She also had two cats: Belly and Stubs. Mary Anna’s favorite thing to do was garden. She has two beautiful gardens that she spent countless hours perfecting. One is in Barnesville, CO (where she will be laid to rest) and the other is in St Kitts. We encourage you to visit both and pull a weed in her honor. There will be a private burial followed by a celebration of this incredible life on August 3rd at 4pm at her home in Barnesville, CO. She will always be remembered as a wonderful mother and teacher who taught us all to be the best versions of ourselves, to think critically, to have fun, and to not be held back by anything or anyone who gets in the way of our dreams and goals. May she live on in all of us.

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.

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.

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.

While some of the material will remain the same, there will be new material as well and all will be aimed at the early stage trainee. We highly recommend that this course be taken by first-year residents. Topics will include introduction to evaluating and describing gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, interpreting IHC/ISH and molecular testing, as well as study techniques, structuring study during your residency, networking with other trainees, understanding the role of self-assessments, and more! Due to reduced travel costs for lecturers, we will be offering this course for much less than the in-person DVP. The tuition will be a flat rate of $400, which will cover both the virtual and in-person components (sorry, no, they cannot be separated). Scholarships will be available, with priority placed on those in training programs in under-resourced countries. Attendance at the in-person component is limited to 40 people due to prior arrangements with the meeting hotel. Be sure to watch our social media accounts, the website events page, and of course the newsletter and listserv announcements to know when registration will begin! We are so excited to bring this new course to you." Looking forward to seeing everyone in one of our seminars. Kind regards, Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Davis-Thompson Newsletter: June issue
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal June 1, 2024

June 1, 2024

Dear colleagues Welcome to the June issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual, of our outstanding managing editors Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Please peruse these pages to find information about the many training opportunities around the world, in several languages. While CLIIC is starting next week, keep in mind that POLA is coming soon and registration is still open. We keep working hard in the design of our Foundations of Pathology course. These are the words of President Koehler about it: "We are continuing to work on our newest course, Foundations of Pathology. This course, which we highly recommend for first-year residents, will be similar to the previous Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course but will be aimed at those just beginning their journey. We want to get you off to a great start by sharing with you our accumulated knowledge about how to evaluate, interpret, and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, plus how to properly interpret IHC, ISH, and molecular testing. We will have discussions about how to structure study during your residency, available resources, and help keep you from making mistakes we have seen people make. We believe this course will create a strong foundation on which you can build, in whatever residency program you are in. The course will include a virtual component and an in-person component at the annual ACVP meeting. A detailed course schedule and registration link will be coming in the next few weeks so check the website frequently!" Also new this year is the "Just in Time Mock Exams", two full days of mock exams dedicated to aspiring veterinary anatomic pathologists, presented by a great team of experienced pathologists. Finally, if you are doing necropsies of racehorses, consider attending the 3-day Racehorse Necropsy Workshop, a hands-on course, this year co-sponsored by the Horse Integrity and Safety Authority, the organization that is regulating horse racing in the US. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities. Warm regards Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

VSPO/WSC wholeslides are back online!
by Bruce Williams May 22, 2024

May 22, 2024

From the Joint Pathology Center - We are happy to announce that the wholeslide server for VSPO/WSC is provisionally back up! Following the server crash, we have reconstituted the wholeslide data and reinstalled the Leica ESlide manager application, and made the appropriate links again - so the VSPO/WSC wholeslides are viewable again. That being said, this install of the server appears to be pretty glitchy. We are constantly monitoring it, but now have the ability to remotely restart servers when this application freezes...so that is something that may help prevent significant downtime in the future. Don't forget to enter "guest" as the username when you want to look at a wholeslide, and if it doesn't load properly, then just keep clicking until it does... -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter May 2024
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal May 2, 2024

May 2, 2024

Dear colleagues It is my pleasure to welcome you to the May issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual, of our outstanding managing editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. As usual, this issue comes with information on myriad training opportunities around the world, in several languages. Remember that two of our "Big 4", CLIIC and POLA are coming soon and registration is open. POLA and our Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course are also offered in Europe this year. Please see below the words of the Foundation's President, Dr Jey Koehler about our Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course: "This year, our beloved Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course will be transformed into Foundations of Pathology. The course will have a three-day virtual component in September and two half days of in-person instruction at the ACVP meeting in Seattle. While some of the material will remain the same, there will be new material as well and all will be aimed at the early stage trainee. We highly recommend that this course be taken by first-year residents. Topics will include introduction to evaluating and describing gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, interpreting IHC/ISH and molecular testing, as well as study techniques, structuring study during your residency, networking with other trainees, understanding the role of self-assessments, and more! Due to reduced travel costs for lecturers, we will be offering this course for much less than the in-person DVP. The tuition will be a flat rate of $400, which will cover both the virtual and in-person components (sorry, no, they cannot be separated). Scholarships will be available, with priority placed on those in training programs in under-resourced countries. Attendance at the in-person component is limited to 40 people due to prior arrangements with the meeting hotel. Be sure to watch our social media accounts, the website events page, and of course the newsletter and listserv announcements to know when registration will begin! We are so excited to bring this new course to you." Looking forward to seeing everyone in one of our seminars. Kind regards, Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Now with VSPO/WSC down, have you tried Noah's SlideBox?
by Bruce Williams March 20, 2024

March 20, 2024

First of all - this is NOT an opportunistic grab for visitors to Noah's Slidebox (I'll bet you didn't know that the JPC also puts together Noah's Slidebox with some of our very close Foundation friends.) (We have always envisioned Noah's Slidebox to be complementary to VSPO/WSC - we didn't really think it would be the only free slide collection available - and hopefully that is very temporary.) So when you use Noah's Slidebox ( https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/available-slide-conferences/) - you aren't being disloyal - it's still us putting all sorts of free stuff out there (and thank you for everything you do scanning and organizing all these slides, Kelsey Fiddes!) If you want to use Noah's Slidebox, like you do VSPO/WSC - yes, it is VERY searchable. On the NS page ( https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/available-slide-conferences/) just click on "View/Search All Slides" (its the second header on that page. When it takes you to the next page ("Digital Slide Archive), just enter your search word(s) into the Searrch box at the upper left and it will pop up your matches which you can click on. The WSI button loads the wholeslide, the Writeup button loads up the full writeup on the slide in a .pdf document, and the Details button gives you a very brief signalment and history if you are looking for something very particular. We will know more about the timeline for restoration of the wholeslides to VSPO/WSC in the coming week. And while you are using Noah's Slidebox - thank Mike Dark at the Univ. of Florida for his wonderful programming of the site - (Mike, we are in the big time now!) -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

From the JPC - VSPO/WSC wholeslide server crashed this weekend
by Bruce Williams March 19, 2024

March 19, 2024

From the JPC - The company that provides data storage, service and backup for the JPC's VSPO and WSC reported a catastrophic server failure this weekend, which has taken the server offline. The company has sent the disk array to a data recovery service to see how much if, any, of the 2900+ wholeslides are recoverable. While the text for each entity is still available, the wholeslides are not. We have been given an estimate of 3-5 business days to find out how much, if any can be recovered. We are understand how important these slides are to training programs all over the world. We will update the timeline to restore these slides as we have additional information.

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.

by Francisco A. Uzal Sept. 3, 2023

Sept. 3, 2023

Dear colleagues Welcome to the September issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter. As always, this is the result of the great job done by our brilliant managing editors Drs. Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. with the collaboration of many volunteers. It is with a heavy heart that I start this message announcing the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Dr Valentín Pérez, a Professor of Veterinary Pathology at the University of León, Spain. Valentín passed away prematurely at the age of 58 on August 7th. Valentín was a wonderful colleague, a great teacher and researcher, and a frequent and generous presenter for the Foundation. 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!). We expect this to be a permanent feature in our Newsletter as a way to acknowledge the terrific job done by all our volunteers all over the world. Looking forward to see you in one of our upcoming training activities. With my warmest regards Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.
