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.

DTF newsletter July 2024
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal July 2, 2024

July 2, 2024

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. We have also moved the nominations for the trainee award online for our university members. For more information contact Bruce Williams at bruce.h.williams.dvm(a)gmail.com<mailto:bruce.h.williams.dvm@gmail.com>. On training opportunities, and just to mention a few ones, registration for our newest course, Foundations of Pathology is now open. This course, which comes to replace our classic Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course, is highly recommended for first-year residents. Please notice that seats are limited and once registration is complete, we will not be able to accept new registrations. POLA and "Just in time mock exams" are coming very soon. 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. The DE are currently edited by our fantastic Editor in Chief, Dr Claudio Barros. This is an incredibly useful training resource and I encourage all of you, whether you are a member of the LCPG/DTF or not, to contribute; please check the instructions for submission in our website at: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/diagnostic-exercises-instructions/ Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities.

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. ACVP* Assistant Professor of Anatomic Pathology Director of Anatomic Pathology Department of Biomedical & Diagnostic Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine University of Tennessee 2407 River Drive Knoxville, TN 37996 Office: A230 Email: slinn2(a)utk.edu Pronouns: she/her/hers

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.
