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.

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.

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.

From our good friends Hohn and Margaret Cooper - if you have worked in the fields of wildlife medicine and pathology, or forensic pathology, you have likely heard of Prof. Cooper and his lovely wife, the barrister Magaret Cooper (an absolute must in forensic path) - *Forthcoming book about human-animal conflict* We have a contract with Taylor & Francis/CRC Press to write a textbook entitled "*When humans and animals clash: The science* * and law of human-animal conflict*". The primary authors are John Cooper (wildlife veterinary pathologist) and Charles Foster (veterinary surgeon, barrister and acclaimed author), supported by Margaret Cooper and Mary McCullins: a combination of legal, medical and veterinary expertise. The book will bring together published and unpublished data on injuries and other insults caused by different species of animal to humans (including zoonoses), to property (including livestock) and to economic interests. We should like to hear from colleagues who are working in the field of human-animal conflict and to solicit relevant input and comments, all of which will be fully acknowledged when the book appears in 2025/26.

Davis-Thompson Newsletter: June issue
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal June 1, 2024

June 1, 2024

Dear colleagues Welcome to the June issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual, of our outstanding managing editors Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Please peruse these pages to find information about the many training opportunities around the world, in several languages. While CLIIC is starting next week, keep in mind that POLA is coming soon and registration is still open. We keep working hard in the design of our Foundations of Pathology course. These are the words of President Koehler about it: "We are continuing to work on our newest course, Foundations of Pathology. This course, which we highly recommend for first-year residents, will be similar to the previous Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course but will be aimed at those just beginning their journey. We want to get you off to a great start by sharing with you our accumulated knowledge about how to evaluate, interpret, and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, plus how to properly interpret IHC, ISH, and molecular testing. We will have discussions about how to structure study during your residency, available resources, and help keep you from making mistakes we have seen people make. We believe this course will create a strong foundation on which you can build, in whatever residency program you are in. The course will include a virtual component and an in-person component at the annual ACVP meeting. A detailed course schedule and registration link will be coming in the next few weeks so check the website frequently!" Also new this year is the "Just in Time Mock Exams", two full days of mock exams dedicated to aspiring veterinary anatomic pathologists, presented by a great team of experienced pathologists. Finally, if you are doing necropsies of racehorses, consider attending the 3-day Racehorse Necropsy Workshop, a hands-on course, this year co-sponsored by the Horse Integrity and Safety Authority, the organization that is regulating horse racing in the US. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities. Warm regards Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

VSPO/WSC wholeslides are back online!
by Bruce Williams May 22, 2024

May 22, 2024

From the Joint Pathology Center - We are happy to announce that the wholeslide server for VSPO/WSC is provisionally back up! Following the server crash, we have reconstituted the wholeslide data and reinstalled the Leica ESlide manager application, and made the appropriate links again - so the VSPO/WSC wholeslides are viewable again. That being said, this install of the server appears to be pretty glitchy. We are constantly monitoring it, but now have the ability to remotely restart servers when this application freezes...so that is something that may help prevent significant downtime in the future. Don't forget to enter "guest" as the username when you want to look at a wholeslide, and if it doesn't load properly, then just keep clicking until it does... -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org
