    Wildlife and Fish Pathology Cases Are Welcome!


    AAZV 8th Annual Zoo & Wildlife Pathology Workshop
    Co-Sponsored by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology & C.L. Davis, D.V.M. Foundation
    (Deadline for case submissions - July 23, 2001)

    This all day workshop will take place Wednesday, September 19, 2001 at The Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Florida. The workshop features case presentations of interesting and often new entities of zoo and wildlife species with emphasis on clinico-pathological correlations. This year's workshop will be moderated by Drs. Linda Munson, (UC Davis) and Michael Garner (Northwest ZooPath). It should be of great interest to zoo and wildlife clinicians, interns, residents and students - all are encouraged to attend. The format is interactive. Twelve to fifteen or more pathologic entities are presented by the participants submitting the cases followed by questions and provocative discussion with the audience. This year will feature a part-day session on toxicoses of zoo & wildlife species. The keynote speaker and facilitator for this session will be Dr. W. Emmett Braselton, Chief, Toxicology Section, Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory, Michigan State University.

    For those submitting cases, 55 slides (50 H&E and 5 unstained) are required. Include the signalmen and clinical history on a separate sheet, and gross and histologic findings, pathologic diagnosis with a brief discussion and pertinent references, names of contributor(s) and institution (with postal address) on continuing sheets. Slides and written material should be sent to: Dr. Thomas P. Lipscomb, Dept. of Veterinary Pathology, Armed forces Institute of Pathology, Room G117, Washington DC 20306-6000, and must be received by July 23, 2001. Toxicologic cases for this year's workshop are encouraged, but general zoo and wildlife cases will also be acceptable. A set of histoslides with signalment and clinical history will arrive several weeks before the Workshop. Case handouts with diagnoses and discussion will be available the day of the meeting.

    Cost: $35 - full day includes case handouts and refreshments. All participants must register. If you are not a member of AAZV and wish to participate or attend this Workshop, please email Dr. Wilbur Amand, wbamand@aol.com for a meeting registration package. Remember, you are welcome to attend the Workshop even if you have not submitted a case. Histoslide sets mailed to presenters are at no additional cost. Histoslide can be purchased for $25 at the meeting by representatives of educational and training facilitities, and by individuals as sets remain available. For further information contact Z&WPW co-ordinators Dick Montali (montalir@nzp.si.edu) or Linda Lowenstine (ljlowenstine@.ucdavis.edu).

    The C.L. Davis Foundation is proud to announce the 1st Annual C.L. Davis/ACVP Symposium On Diagnostic Pathology

    Ocular Pathology with Dr. Brian Wilcock

    1 December 2001

    Grand America Hotel
    Salt Lake City, Utah

    Jointly Sponsored By:
    Charles Louis Davis DVM Foundation
    The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology
    The American College of Veterinary Pathologists

    Are you embarrassed by that sinking feeling you get whenever you receive an eyeball? Or that what appears on your glass slide bears only a fleeting resemblance to the ocular sections that appear in textbooks? This course is specifically designed to remove the fear and mystery from ocular pathology. Starting with the basics of clinical terminology and relevant aspects of ocular anatomy, Dr. Brian Wilcock will emphasize the impact of peculiarities of ocular anatomy, physiology, and immunology on the responses of the eye to injury. The course topics will be organized in a fashion that parallels the kinds of samples that you will receive: eyes lost to intraocular inflammation, eyes lost to glaucoma, eyes with suspected intraocular tumors, and surgical specimens from periocular lesions. While the emphasis in this course is on the general pathology of the eye rather than the presentation of every specific ocular disease, Dr. Wilcock will discuss some of the most important specific ocular syndromes that you are likely to receive.

    At the completion of this course, you will be able to:
    a. Understand the bizarre terminology contained in ocular submissions from specialists;
    b. Use proper anatomic terminology in ocular descriptions;
    c. Understand why routine general pathology processes may have different, and often greater, significance within the globe than in other tissues;
    d. Describe the pathogenesis and significance of the many lesions that occur within severely inflamed globes;
    e. Determine the pathogenesis of glaucoma, and detect the lesions secondary to glaucoma;
    f. Distinguish among the most common primary intraocular and periocular neoplasms, and recognize the significance of these distinctions to prognosis;
    g. Obtain a really good section of a fixed globe!

    PROGRAM
    SATURDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2001
    8:30
    Clinical context of ocular pathology
    Clinical ophthalmology: the gross pathology of the eye
    Clinical ocular terminology
    Common ocular procedures relevant to the pathologist

    9:00 Fixation and trimming: basic but vital!

    Break 9:45 General pathology of the eye: the same...only different! 11:15 The enucleated globe: endophthalmitis 12:00 Lunch 1:30 The enucleated globe: glaucoma 2:30 The enucleated globe: neoplasia 3:15 Break 3:30 Periocular surgical pathology: eyelid, conjunctiva and orbit 4:30 Special ocular pathology for the connoisseur

    1. Cornea
    2. Retina and optic nerve
    3. Cataract

    Dr. Brian Wilcock is a professor of pathology in the Department of Pathobiology at the Ontario Veterinary College, and senior pathologist at HISTOVET Surgical Pathology, a private diagnostic laboratory serving veterinary clinics throughout Canada. Although he lectures widely on such diverse topics as surgical oncology, dermatopathology, gastrointestinal pathology, and genetic diseases of dogs, his professional hobby is ophthalmic pathology. For the past 15 years, he and a small group of other pathologists interested in ophthalmology have taught a highly successful short course (Histologic Basis of Ocular Disease) to veterinary ophthalmologists and residents from around the world. He is the recipient of the Norden Distinguished Teacher Award, the University of Guelph Faculty Association Teaching Award, and most recently the C. L. Davis Foundation’s Robert L. Farrell Lectureship Award.

    LOCATION/ACCOMMODATIONS
    The meeting is being held at the Grand America Hotel (site of the 2001 ACVP Conference). The room rate is $149 (single/double).
