Pathology of Wildlife and Zoo Animals, Second Edition is the much-anticipated update to the leading resource on the study of diseases in non-domestic species. The book offers comprehensive coverage of the pathology of wildlife and zoo species, including a wide scope of animals, disease types and geographic regions. Chapters include information on performing necropsies, proper techniques to meet the specialized needs of forensic cases, laboratory diagnostics, and an introduction to basic principles of comparative clinical pathology. The taxon-based chapters provide information about diseases in related groups of animals and include descriptions of gross and histologic lesions, pathogenesis and diagnostics.For each group of animals, notable, unique, gross and microscopic anatomical features are provided to further assist the reader in deciding whether differences from the domestic animal paradigm are "normal." Additional online content, which includes text, images and whole scanned glass slides of selected conditions expand the published material thus resulting in a comprehensive approach to the topic.

Clinical research is the tip of the spear for innovation and central in the development of improving safety and efficacy for patient centric care. Unfortunately, clinical research in academic practices is bogged down by inefficiency and infrequent regulatory oversight, thus leaving physicians unable to meet the clinical and research needs for driving innovation. Private practice is a valid practice cohort that can effectively, reliably, and reproducibly perform study related activities, for both FDA and non-FDA regulated studies, both industry-sponsored or investigator-initiat... Research in Private Practice fills a gap and provides a playbook for how to incorporate clinical research in a validated, safe, and compliant manner, allowing a needed meaningful contribution to the medical space, while concurrently maintaining fiduciary responsibility. Written for physicians by physicians.
