Tumors of Bone, Cartilage, and Hard Tissues now available in Foundation Bookstore!
by Bruce Williams Nov. 9, 2021

Nov. 9, 2021

It has arrived! Welcome the 4th volume of “Surgical Pathology of Tumors of Domestic Animals. Tumors of Bones, Cartilage and Other Hard Tissues.” The 4th volume of “Surgical Pathology of Tumors of Domestic Animals” covers tumors of bone, cartilage and other hard tissues, specifically odontogenic tumors and tumors of the mandible. Included are osseous, cartilaginous, and notochordal tumors, as well as non-osteogenic, non-chondrogenic tumors of bone and tumor-like lesions of bone and extraskeletal chondro-osseous tumors. While odontogenic tumors have historically been included with tumors of the alimentary tract, these tumors were also included in this 4th volume together with other tumors and tumor-like lesions of the mandible to provide surgical pathologists with a better comparative view of similar entities. Bone is a highly dynamic tissue, and any type of mass effect will result in alteration of the normal architecture. Correctly interpreting such reparative processes and to differentiate them from the primary disease can be challenging. The ability to interpret microscopic findings in conjunction with the various types of diagnostic imaging is often essential to reach an accurate diagnosis. This volume, therefore, integrates characteristic radiographic findings into surgical pathology of tumors of bone, cartilage and other hard tissues. As in previous volumes, dedicated chapters will review the structure and development of the tissues covered in this volume, immunohistochemistry and grading and reporting of specific tumor entities. Special chapters have been committed to the trimming and decalcification of bone and teeth as both steps are essential in providing high quality sections for microscopic interpretation.

The TTUHSC also maintains a vivarium on their campus as well as other core facilities in Amarillo in addition to the numerous core facilities across the institutions that comprise the Texas Tech University System. The TTU SVM will maintain populations of domestic animals, and the region is home to large numbers of production animals and wildlife providing further opportunities for field-based research. Amarillo is a vibrant and growing community in the Texas Panhandle. With a metropolitan statistical area population approaching 270,000, it offers attractions of a larger city while holding true to its agricultural roots ( https://www.visitamarillo.com <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.visitamarillo.com%2F%3Ffbc…>). Amarillo serves as a center of services for a large, multi-state area and is home to many agricultural associations such as the Texas Cattle Feeders Association and the American Quarter Horse Association Major/Essential Functions Responsibilities of the Positions Contribute to the TTU SVM’s instruction, scholarship, and service activities. The distribution of effort toward each activity will be individualized for each faculty member and outlined in the letter of appointment. I t is expected that tenure-track faculty members will establish extramural support of their scholarship and this will include support for graduate students and opportunities for involvement of professional students. This expectation is proportional to percentage of effort assigned to scholarship in the letter of appointment. Contribute to activities necessary for accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education, other regulatory or accreditation approvals, and admit and deliver the curriculum to the students of the professional degree program. Development and participation in the School’s research enterprise and PhD program Curricular development and related activities. Most curricular development will focus on the Clinical and Professional Skills laboratories, the pathology courses, and the clinical rotations related to pathology services. The curricular framework has been developed based on Competency Based Veterinary Education (CBVE; see www.AAVMC.org <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.AAVMC.org%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwA…>), and is designed to be vertically and horizontally integrated. Curricular development will require teamwork to effectively develop course syllabi and content relative to this integration, and to accomplish desired outcomes. Curricular mapping of course-specific learning objectives with curricular outcomes. Delivery of the curriculum within the professional program. This might include serving as instructor of record for various courses, contributing lectures to other courses, or participating in laboratories. Participation in instructional delivery of Clinical Skills Laboratories. Participation and delivery of Clinical Case Presentations courses. Clinical service, for the purpose of veterinary student clinical instruction, may be provided through in house necropsy facilities or through specific private practice sites that serve as clinical learning centers for students. Effort may be directed towards developing the site in anticipation of instructing students in their clinical year such as expanding the clinical caseload; supporting the practice consultation services; advancing the education of veterinary practitioners; and supervision of clinical year students. The TTU SVM does not have a teaching hospital and thus clinical service will be limited as per above. The successful candidates will report to the Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs, until such time that it is necessary to create departments (or department-like structures) within the School. Participation on various School committees. Additional comments: The curriculum is grounded on general veterinary practice in rural agricultural and regional communities. A central function of subject-matter experts is to provide instruction such that graduates can competently and confidently practice veterinary medicine at a distance from referral hospitals. Those with experience in rural and regional community practices will provide important feedback that will inform the admission process, instruction, and continuing education. Candidates who have very strong records of scholarship supported by extramural funding and who have the proven capacity or clear potential to bring externally sponsored research to Texas Tech University are encouraged to apply.

Dr. George Migaki, 1917-2021
by Bruce Williams Sept. 11, 2021

Sept. 11, 2021

It is with great regret that I announce the passing of Dr. George Migaki, formerly of the Registry of Veterinary Pathology at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. George was a pioneer in the comparative pathology of zoo and wildlife animals (and one of the first veterinary pathologists to take an interest in the pathology of marine mammals) as well as laboratory animals. He was the author of innumerable papers of animal models in conjunction with the Journal of Comparative Pathology and many other journals. A cursory search of "Migaki G veterinary" in either Pubmed or Google will quickly document his massive contributions to our field. I met George as a first-day resident and we struck up an fast friendship based on our combined intense curiosity for all things pathological.Every day, for the first two weeks of my residency, George would invite me into his office to show my a slide and ask me for my diagnosis. I would give my best shot (which wasn't much) and he would clap and exclaim with glee, "It's just autolysis!" I fell for that every day for two weeks until I myself one day said "Autolysis?" Then the real teaching began, and he was an amazing instructor, mentor, and colleague. George was a veteran of WWII - an American soldier of Japanese descent (which requires no more explanation) - and we would talk every year on Veteran's Day. He was incredibly kind, a true gentleman, and one of the unsung heroes (which was fine with him) of our field. Godspeed my friend.... More information on his truly wonderful life is available at: https://www.azcentral.com/obituaries/par051335 -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org
