last-minute Foundations of Pathology registration!
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 for an upcoming special edition of Veterinary Pathology
by Bruce Williams Sept. 2, 2024

Sept. 2, 2024

*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.

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. ACVP Chief Executive Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation Ph: 951 751 0027 E-mail: fauzal(a)ucdavis.edu<mailto:fauzal@ucdavis.edu> www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<https://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org/> [https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1oticUQZYjDPU-1vMA4wHKvLb2SScHV-J]

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.
