Fwd: can you forward an announcement about a glomerular disease (clinical and pathology) meeting in April to the Davis Thompson Foundation?
by Bruce Williams March 5, 2022

March 5, 2022

From our good friend who is all things kidney, and one of our speakers in our upcoming Day seminar on feline pathology on March 15th, Dr. Rachel Cianciolo: ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Cianciolo, Rachel E. <cianciolo.14(a)osu.edu> Hi all I am happy to announce that there will be a Glomerular Disease Summit (itinerary attached) that will precede the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) national meeting in Boston April 4 and 5th. The meeting is sponsored by COHA (which is the CTSA One Health Alliance), and CTSA stands for Clinical and Translational Science Award. The summit will feature both lectures from pathologists and clinicians, physicians and veterinarians. The goal is to have 40 to 50 attendees at this pre-meeting summit (both vets and physicians). There will be opportunities for abstract submission and online publication in the journal Glomerular Disease through Karger publications. I know this is late notice, since the meeting is in April, but I believe this will be an excellent networking and educational opportunity. Additionally, there will be discussions at round tables for planning future research projects that can improve the diagnostics and treatments of our veterinary patients, as well as educate physicians about the potential for using our cases as examples of spontaneous models of human glomerular diseases. The link for registration is: https://uwmadison.eventsair.com/gnsatellite/reg22 <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://uwmadison.eventsair.com/gnsatellite/reg…> . As mentioned above, this Summit is coordinated with the NKF meeting (information below). You do not need to attend that meeting in order to participate in the pre-meeting summit. Unfortunately, at this time, the cost of live streaming the meeting is prohibitive so that will not be an option. It has been fairly difficult to plan this summit with the COVID uncertainties, but we have reached a timepoint where changing the format of NKF to an all-virtual meeting is highly unlikely and that allowed us to book the meeting space etc. <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.kidney.org/spring-clinical__;!!KGKe…> NKF Spring Clinical Meetings - National Kidney Foundation <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.kidney.org/spring-clinical__;!!KGKe…> SCM presents a unique opportunity for busy renal health care providers to learn new developments related to all aspects of nephrology.

Archivo Veterinario del Este - 2021

Dear colleagues Attached is a document with a summary (and great photos!!!!) of diseases that occurred in the Eastern part of Uruguay, put together annually by Dr Fernando Dutra Quintela. Dr Quintela is an incredibly experienced and detailed-oriented pathologist, and a Latin American pathology legend!. He is currently the Head of the Laboratorio Regional Este de DILAVE “Miguel C Rubino”, Uruguay. Dr Quintela has been putting together this summary uninterruptedly for 12 years and although over the past few years we shared it with the Spanish speaking colleagues through the Latin Comparative Pathology Group, we decided that this jewel is simply “too good” not to share it with the rest of the world, so here you are. The document is in Spanish, but as Dr Bruce Williams well put it: “it is fantastic how pathology transcends any language barrier”. Enjoy Paco Uzal Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Dear colleagues Please find attached the March issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter prepared by our outstanding editors Stephanie Shrader, Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. Have a look at the content including the gorgeous cover photograph winner, seminar reviews and announcements, diagnostic exercise and much more. The Foundation is moving into hybrid modality for some of our meetings. Our first international hybrid seminar was successfully held over the past 3 days in Costa Rica with great attendance in person and virtually (see some great photos in the attached newsletter). Many more seminars with this modality are forthcoming. Thank you to our great speakers, volunteers and all of YOU! Looking forward to see you in one of our many training activities. Stay safe Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Preorder now for Haschek and Rousseaux's Pinciples and Practice of Toxicologic Pathology.
by Bruce Williams Feb. 27, 2022

Feb. 27, 2022

It's not a Foundation publication, but the authors have all been great supporters, and some officers of the Foundation, so we are happy to give this one a boost! (Just don't expect Foundation pricing from Elsevier!) Haschek and Rousseaux's Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology, Volume 1: Principles and Practice of Toxicologic Pathology - 4th Edition (elsevier.com ) https://www.elsevier.com/.../haschek/978-0-12-821047-5 <https://www.elsevier.com/books/haschek-and-rousseauxs-handbook-of-toxicolog…> Haschek and Rousseaux's Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology, Volume 1: Principles and Practice of Toxicologic Pathology 4th Edition - October 20, 2021 Editors: Wanda Haschek, Colin Rousseaux, Matthew Wallig, Brad Bolon Hardcover ISBN: 9780128210444 eBook ISBN: 9780128218297 Haschek and Rousseaux's Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology, Volume 1: Principles and Practice of Toxicologic Pathology The *Handbook of Toxicologic Patholog *has been extensively updated to continue its comprehensive and timely coverage. The 4th edition of *Haschek and Rousseaux’s Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology* has been expanded to 4 separate volumes due to unrelenting explosion of information in this field requiring new and updated chapters These volumes are being published separately. Volume 1, “Principles and the Practice of Toxicologic Pathology,” is now available and discussed in detail below. Volume 2, currently in press, encompasses “Toxicologic Pathology in Safety Assessment” and “Environmental Toxicologic Pathology”. These two sections cover the application of toxicologic pathology in developing specific product classes, principles of data interpretation for safety assessment, and toxicologic pathology of major classes of environmental toxicants. Volumes 3 and 4, currently in preparation, provide deep and broad treatment of “Target Organ Toxicity”, emphasizing the comparative and correlative aspects of normal biology and toxicant-induced dysfunction, principal methods for toxicologic pathology evaluation, and major mechanisms of toxicity. Haschek and Rousseaux's Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology: Volume 1: Principles and Practice of Toxicologic Pathology is a key reference on the integration of structure and functional changes in tissues associated with the response to pharmaceuticals, chemicals and biologics. Volume 1 of the Fourth Edition covers the practice of toxicologic pathology in three parts: Principles of Toxicologic Pathology, Methods in Toxicologic Pathology, and the Practice of Toxicologic Pathology. Completely revised with a number of new chapters, Volume 1 of the Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology is an essential part of the authoritative reference on toxicologic pathology for pathologists, toxicologists, research scientists, and regulators studying and making decisions on drugs, biologics, medical devices, and other chemicals, including agrochemicals and environmental contaminants. Key Features - Provides new chapters on digital pathology, juvenile pathology, animal models, in vitro/in vivo correlation, big data technologies and in-depth discussion of timely topics in the area of toxicologic pathology - Offers high-quality and trusted content in a multi-contributed work written by leading international authorities in all areas of toxicologic pathology - Features full-color images in both the print and electronic versions of the book to highlight difficult concepts with clear illustrations *Audience* Scientists, including pathologists, toxicologists and graduate students, in academia, industry and government.
