Now with VSPO/WSC down, have you tried Noah's SlideBox?
by Bruce Williams March 20, 2024

March 20, 2024

First of all - this is NOT an opportunistic grab for visitors to Noah's Slidebox (I'll bet you didn't know that the JPC also puts together Noah's Slidebox with some of our very close Foundation friends.) (We have always envisioned Noah's Slidebox to be complementary to VSPO/WSC - we didn't really think it would be the only free slide collection available - and hopefully that is very temporary.) So when you use Noah's Slidebox ( https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/available-slide-conferences/) - you aren't being disloyal - it's still us putting all sorts of free stuff out there (and thank you for everything you do scanning and organizing all these slides, Kelsey Fiddes!) If you want to use Noah's Slidebox, like you do VSPO/WSC - yes, it is VERY searchable. On the NS page ( https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/available-slide-conferences/) just click on "View/Search All Slides" (its the second header on that page. When it takes you to the next page ("Digital Slide Archive), just enter your search word(s) into the Searrch box at the upper left and it will pop up your matches which you can click on. The WSI button loads the wholeslide, the Writeup button loads up the full writeup on the slide in a .pdf document, and the Details button gives you a very brief signalment and history if you are looking for something very particular. We will know more about the timeline for restoration of the wholeslides to VSPO/WSC in the coming week. And while you are using Noah's Slidebox - thank Mike Dark at the Univ. of Florida for his wonderful programming of the site - (Mike, we are in the big time now!) -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

From the JPC - VSPO/WSC wholeslide server crashed this weekend
by Bruce Williams March 19, 2024

March 19, 2024

From the JPC - The company that provides data storage, service and backup for the JPC's VSPO and WSC reported a catastrophic server failure this weekend, which has taken the server offline. The company has sent the disk array to a data recovery service to see how much if, any, of the 2900+ wholeslides are recoverable. While the text for each entity is still available, the wholeslides are not. We have been given an estimate of 3-5 business days to find out how much, if any can be recovered. We are understand how important these slides are to training programs all over the world. We will update the timeline to restore these slides as we have additional information.

Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter February 2024
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Feb. 1, 2024

Feb. 1, 2024

Dear colleagues Welcome to the February 2024 issue of the Davis Thompson Newsletter prepared by our outstanding managing editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. This issue comes, as usual, with myriad information on all our training activities around the globe, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. By the time you receive these pages, the first of the Foundation's "Big 4", our 2024 General Pathology Review Course, will be in full swing and scheduled to finish on February the 8th with a special mock exam. This course is being offered fully online. Registration for the other three of the "Big 4" (CLIIC, POLA and Descriptive Pathology Course) will open soon. Keep an eye out for them. Starting this month, we will be featuring a case of the Western Round Robin, a slide conference that has been running for 30+ years among veterinary diagnostic laboratories. This year, for the first time, the conference is being held digitally and the slides submitted by the participating laboratories are uploaded to Noah's slidebox. Thanks a lot to all the participants! You can check the conference in the website (https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/wsi_archive/?wdt_column_filter[2]=West%…<https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/wsi_archive/?wdt_column_filter%5b2%5d=W…>) and in the following pages. We are very proud to announce the free online publication of two atlases of Histopathology and Gross pathology, respectively, of equine abortion and reproductive loss. These two masterpieces were produced by a multidisciplinary team of equine clinicians, epidemiologists and pathologists in Australia. Look them up in the E-Books section of our website or follow this link: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/equine-abortion-ebook-demo/ Also, look at the announcement of the "Archivo Veterinario del Este" a great compilation of cases put together by Dr Fernando Dutra in Uruguay. As we explained in previous editions, this document is in Spanish, but for those who are not familiar with this language, the outstanding images speak volumes in the international "language of pathology". Last but not least, I want to highlight again our great Volunteer Appreciation Campaign that started last year and will continue for the foreseeable future. Thank you Rafaela De Negri for the great job you are doing organizing this campaign! All the activities of the Foundation are done by volunteers, who are the pillars of our organization. Please thank them warmly any time you have the pleasure to interact with them. Looking forward to seeing everyone in one of our seminars. Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Please consider reaching out to thank them for the terrific job they do. As usual, this issue comes with abundant information on all our training activities around the globe, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Remember that the General Pathology Course is coming up in January/February. This standout and unique course provides essential education to trainees preparing for Board certification exams and anybody else interested in learning general veterinary pathology. And the whole course is virtual. Look up this and other courses here or on our web page (https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/) This month's newsletter comes with two very interesting articles about an unusual outbreak of Western equine encephalitis in South America. And please do not miss the 2nd part of the fascinating article on "Evolution of uncertainty in surgical pathology" by Dr Paul Stromberg. Thank you Paul! Last but not least, we share again the links to a large amount of exceptional teaching material on musculoskeletal pathology of multiple animal species, generously shared by Dr Roy Pool, from Texas A&M. This is a gold mine for trainees and pathologists interested in musculoskeletal pathology; enjoy! Looking forward to seeing everyone in one of our seminars. Happy New Year!
