EJCAP Spring 2014: Mast cell tumours

(21.03.2014) What is the best diagnostic approach to a suspicious mass? How should the lab report be interpreted and which therapy is best?

These and other questions are discussed by Laura Blackwood (Liverpool University) in her update on mast cell tumours, in the Spring 2014 issue of EJCAP, the official journal of FECAVA (www.fecava.org).

The interactive issue contains the usual variety of videos (what is the difference between a simple and complex partial seizure?), slideshows (how to repair broken flight feathers), quizzes (test your knowledge on diagnostic imaging of the shoulder), interviews (tips on mast cell tumour diagnosis), downloads (decision tree for the treatment of seizures) and tables (which treatments are considered ‘best practice’ in pets with congestive heart failure?).

In this issue:

  • The Spring 2014 issue contains the following CPD papers:
  • Advances in the treatment of CHF, by Jens Häggström et al (Sweden)*
  • Update on mast cell tumours, by Laura Blackwood (UK)*
  • Plumage disorders in psittacines, by Yvonne van Zeeland and Nico Schoemaker (Netherlands)
  • Advances in the treatment of seizures in dogs, Thomas Flegel (Germany)

... as well as a selection of top quality reprint papers:

  • The impact of neutering on mammary tumours, by Veronica Kristiansen et al (Norway)
  • Anaesthetic arthrography of the canine shoulder, by Delphine Van Vynckt et al (Belgium)
  • Meningoencephalomyelitis of unknown origin, by Marios Charalambous et al (Greece)
