Jessie Aitkin, the long-time Editor-in-Chief of a leading life sciences journal, receives a fantastic job offer. A young animal rights activist requests an interview with her husband, Peter Dahl, a research scientist at a prestigious institute. An unexpected revelation sets in motion a series of events that shifts the course of their careers and their relationship. In this novel, another page turner by the author of Raw Data: A Novel on Life in Science (Springer 2016), enthusiasm for basic research and for how science is - and could be - communicated combine in a thoughtful reflection on the impact of ambition on personal relationships. In a non-technical appendix, the author discusses the use of narrative in scientific papers and considers alternative modes of science publishing, one of which is featured in the novel. Storytelling in science has the potential to enhance communication, but may also have unintended consequences. This novel and the appendix explore these timely and important issues for the scientific community.

Organized by body system, the new edition of this highly illustrated textbook covers the normal histological appearance of tissues in a wide range of animals, both domestic and exotic species, with relevant clinical correlates emphasizing the need to appreciate the normal in order to recognize the abnormal. In this update by two experienced veterinary pathologists and histology lecturers, new species, such as other companion mammals, aquatic species and livestock, are introduced into each chapter along with a wealth of new high-quality images. A new chapter covers epitehlial tissue and new techniques used in histology and histopathology are discussed throughout, including ISH and digital image analysis. Pathogenesis explanation is introduced in the current (and many new) cases of histopathology. The breadth of coverage-farm animals, dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish-and the integration of normal and abnormal tissue provide a reference of lasting value to veterinary students as well as veterinary practitioners and pathologists needing a quick refresher.

Dieser zeitgemasse Uberblick uber den Stand der zoologischen Domestikationsforschung ist mehr als eine Untersuchung uber die Entstehung und Geschichte der Haustiere. Vielmehr liegt eine zusammenfassende Betrachtung von Ergebnissen aus verschiedenen Forschungseinrichtungen vor. Die Autoren erortern Systematik und Biologie der Stammarten; Grunde, Zeiten und Orte von Haustierwerdungen; die vielfaltigen Veranderungen der Haustiere bis in den molekularen Bereich im Vergleich zu ihren Wildformen; die Fulle der Haustierrassen und ihre Beziehungen zu Menschen. Ausfuhrlich werden domestizierte Vogel, Fische und Insekten behandelt sowie die Problematik einer Selbstdomestikation des Menschen.

Vertiefende Betrachtungen uber die Beziehungen zwischen Haustier, Mensch und Umwelt runden dieses fur einen grossen Leserkreis interessante Werk ab."

Die Anwendung von antibakteriell wirksamen Substanzen in der Veterinarmedizin erfolgt zum einen aus Grunden des Verbraucherschutzes, zum anderen zur Erhaltung der Tiergesundheit. Gleichzeitig fuhrt jeder Einsatz von Antibiotika zur Selektion von bereits bestehenden Resistenzen, auch wird das Entstehen neuer Resistenzmechanismen begunstigt.

Aus diesen Grunden mussen nachhaltig wirksame Managementmassnahmen ergriffen werden, um den Eintrag von resistenten Bakterien insbesondere durch Lebensmittel liefernde Tiere in die menschliche Nahrungskette moglichst gering zu halten bzw. zu vermeiden. Zur Beurteilung der aktuellen Resistenzsituation und entwicklung ist die Erhebung valider Empfindlichkeitsdaten fur tierpathogene Bakterien erforderlich. Das Bundesamt fur Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit (BVL) erhebt diese Daten im Rahmen des Nationalen Resistenzmonitorings (GE"RM"-Vet) seit 2001. Diese Daten ermoglichen es, koordinierende Massnahmen zu ergreifen und Entscheidungshilfen zur kalkulierten Therapie zu geben.

DNA Methods in Clinical Microbiology describes the novel DNA-based technology now used in the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. It is a concise, yet readable, overview written primarily for clinicians, clinical microbiologists, medical students and undergraduates in medical and veterinary microbiology. The book has two primary aims. First, to explain the principles of these methods at the molecular' level. Second, to provide a clinical perspective by reporting results from actual DNA-based investigations on a range of specimens. Those approaching DNA methods for the first time are assisted by a brief resume of the relevant features of nucleic acids (Chapter 2): this information is essential for an understanding of later chapters. Subsequent text covers detection, characterization and quantification of pathogens by a variety of methods - e.g., target amplification (PCR, LCR, NASBA, TMA and SDA), signal amplification (bDNA) and probe-based techniques; the chapter on typing describes nearly twenty named molecular methods, including spoligotyping and MLST. All chapters include an adequate range of current reference from which, if required, detailed protocols can be obtained. The diagrams are clear, and readers are assisted by a detailed index."

Every year billions of animals, from housecats to racehorses to pythons, are treated by veterinarians. The use of veterinary science to treat the health of animals has a long history; for the past five centuries it has developed as our understanding of animals' fundamental biology, pathology, and pharmacology has grown. Rapid global changes expected in the twenty-first century will require the profession to respond proactively, embracing new challenges and opportunities. James Yeates, Chief Veterinary Officer of the RSPCA, introduces the field of veterinary science, covering the history of its scientific and clinical aspects from early practices to recent challenges such as the outbreak of BSE and antibiotic resistance, and considering the differences between human medicine and veterinary medicine. Analysing the key roles played by diagnosis, treatment, and prevention with regard to the health of farm animals and pets, he relates this to wider aspects concerning public health, such as zoonoses (diseases that jump from animals to humans). Yeates also covers recent 'One Health' approaches involving the health of both humans and animals, seen as synergistic, and discusses the challenges for the future of veterinary medicine, including the ethical dilemmas in balancing the interests of owners and animals when they do not coincide. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Das Lebensmittel-Monitoring ist ein gemeinsam von Bund und Landern durchgefuhrtes Untersuchungsprogramm, das die amtliche Lebensmitteluberwachung der Bundeslander erganzt. Wahrend die Lebensmitteluberwachung uber hauptsachlich verdachts- und risikoorientierte Untersuchungen die Einhaltung lebensmittelrechtlicher Vorschriften kontrolliert, ist das Lebensmittel-Monitoring ein System wiederholter reprasentativer Messungen und Bewertungen von Gehalten an bestimmten unerwunschten Stoffen in und auf Lebensmitteln. Dadurch konnen mogliche gesundheitliche Risiken fur die Verbraucher fruhzeitig erkannt und durch gezielte Massnahmen abgestellt werden. Das Lebensmittel-Monitoring wird zweigeteilt durchgefuhrt: Um die Ruckstands- und Kontaminationssituation unter reprasentativen Beprobungsbedingungen weiter verfolgen zu konnen, werden jahrlich zahlreiche Lebensmittel eines definierten Warenkorbes untersucht. Erganzend dazu werden aktuelle stoff- bzw. lebensmittelbezogene Fragestellungen in Form von Projekten bearbeitet."

One look is worth a thousand words You are looking for precise anatomic denomination, but you want more than just a list of terms? The Illustrated Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature is based upon the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (N. A. V.), a compilation of terms which is published by the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists. In the 4th edition of this benchmark, more than 6500 structures are depicted and defined, aiding the user in understanding anatomy and in clarifying its concepts. The book is a reference for teachers, researchers, veterinarians, and students. Its arrangement adheres strictly to the latest, 6th edition of the N.A.V. (2017). It focuses on the anatomical structures of cat, dog, pig, cattle, sheep, goat, horse, and rabbit.
