Invitation for tomorrow's free Friday seminar on Interstitial Pneumonia
by Bruce Williams July 2, 2020

July 2, 2020

The Latin Comparative Pathology Group is pleased to present our first Free Friday Seminar in July - "Interstitial pneumonia: Causes, mechanisms of damage and examples in veterinary medicine" This lecture is presented by Dr. Francisco Carvallo, DVM DSC, DACVP, Clinical Associate Professor of Pathology at Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. The date is 3 July 2020 at 1200PM EDT Interstitial pneumonia is a pulmonary pattern that represents damage to either pneumocytes of alveolar capillary endothelium. Cases of interstitial pneumonias are frequently associated with viral infections, but the spectrum of etiologies is much broader and not frequently considered at the moment of interpretation. The mechanisms, stages and significant histologic findings will be discussed, in order to better understand this frequently enigmatic pattern.

Only 250/1000 seats remain for "Black Voices in Pathology virtual seminar
by Bruce Williams June 27, 2020

June 27, 2020

The Davis-Thompson Foundation wholeheartedly and without reservation supports the Black Lives Matter movement. Since our inception in 1970, our tenets have always included that the Foundation does not discriminate against race. It is all well and good for an organization to issue a statement that says that they support Black Lives Matter, but we in the Foundation believe that now is a time for meaningful change. Our “Black Voices in Pathology” seminar on July 28 is only a first step. Our already diverse Board of Directors currently seats two black veterinary pathologists, Dr. Tiffany Lyle, head of our Correspondence Division and Dr. Lonzy Ojok of the University of Harare. We are adding a third prominent black pathologist, Dr. Angela Brice of the University of Pennsylvania, as a permanent ad hoc member to oversee all of the Foundation’s business from an inclusion and diversity standpoint. We look forward to working closely with her, and translating her ideas and input into programs that will better serve all of our members around the world. Beyond this seminar on Black Voices in Pathology, we will be having additional seminars, both day-seminars and our free Friday seminars which will highlight black pathologists and those in other minorities, whose voices are not always heard in our profession. It is our goal that one or more Friday seminars each month will be presented by a black pathologist or member of another minority group. This initiative is not only one that will be important for the Foundation in the United States, but one that we believe will translate well in all corners of the globe where the Foundation educates its members. In order to introduce our “Black Voices in Pathology” to its largest possible audience, we are providing a full day of free RACE CE to attendees. We also hope that our colleagues and friends will share this flyer within their veterinary schools, as this slate of speakers are an inspiring group and we hope many veterinary students will be part of this audience. Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T_i09oihTuW0xEx8vbiPXg <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T_i09oihTuW0xEx8vbiPXg?fbclid=I…>After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Bruce Williams, DVM CEO, Davis-Thompson Foundation P.S. Here's a new twist to foil those folks who are just looking for free CE - if you don't sign in to the seminar on the 28th, you won't get the certificate on the 29th.. When the CE is on us, we will check youout! PPS. I WAS born on a Monday, but it wasn't last Monday! :)

June 25, 2020

On 26 June 2020, at 1200PM EDT, The Latin Comparative Pathology Group is pleased to present a "Free Friday Seminar" on "The pathology of selected diseases caused by toxic plants in cattle" by Dr. Claudio Barros, DVM, Ph.D., DACVP, Professor of Pathology, Laboratório de Patologia Animal, Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, MS, Brazil. In Brazil, there are at least 131 described toxic plants belonging to 79 genera. Annual livestock losses due to plant poisoning-associated deaths are estimated to range from 820,761 to 1,755,763 cattle, 399,800 to 445,309 sheep, 52,675 to 63,292 goats and 38,559 horses. In veterinary diagnostic laboratories around the country,approximately 15% of necropsy diagnoses involve plant poisoning, and in the deep south of the country, themain cause of death in cattle is poisoning by Senecio species. Due to time restrictions, we will address cattleintoxication considering only five plants, namely, Senecio spp. (ragwort), Pteridium arachnoideum (brackenfern), Ateleia glazioviana, Senna occidentalis (coffee senna), and Vicia villosa (hairy vetch).
