American Heartworm Society Resource Library is GROWING!
The American Heartworm Society (AHS) is at the center of advances in our understanding of Heartworm Disease. The Proceedings of their Symposium are peer reviewed and authored by leading experts in the field. Until recently, they have been available only in print to a very limited audience. Thanks to Dr. Tom Nelson (President of the AHS) and the Board of Directors of the AHS, and the VIN Foundation, we are making the print documents available to AHS and VIN members online. Today we announce the release of the 2001 AHS Symposium in the AHS Resource Library on VIN.

Cohort study of COX-1 and COX-2 expression in canine rectal and bladder tumours
The variations in COX expression reported in this study may explain the differences in the clinical response of transitional cell carcinomas and rectal adenocarcinomas following treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Comparison of B-mode and Doppler ultrasonographic findings with histologic features of benign and malignant superficial lymph nodes in dogs
Results indicated that histopathologic changes in canine lymph nodes have associated ultrasonographic changes and suggest that lymph node ultrasonography has an important role in the evaluation of lymph nodes in dogs in general and in dogs with neoplastic disease in particular.
Prevalence of zoonotic agents in dogs visiting hospitalized people in Ontario: implications for infection control
All dogs were judged to be in good health. Zoonotic agents were isolated from 80 out of 102 (80%) dogs. The primary pathogen was Clostridium difficile, which was isolated from 58 (58%) faecal specimens. Seventy-one percent (41/58) of these isolates were toxigenic.
Clinical, biological and hormonal study of mid-pregnancy termination in cats with aglepristone
Efficacy of aglepristone was 88.5% and termination of pregnancy was achieved in 50% of the queens within 3 days. Brief periods of depression and anorexia were noted in 9.3% of the queens before fetal expulsion (these symptoms were attributed to the phenomenon of fetal expulsions). Not one of the queens that aborted developed uterine disease.
Dealing With Fear Of Patients Resulting From Previous Dog Bites And Other Animal-Related Injuries
Part of the healing for me was to recognise that I am human, and that dogs do bite. I am probably a better human for realizing that, and a much better vet also, because I am more aware of my relationship with the patient: what my body language is and what is it telling them, how I handle them, what interactions there are, and how can I make the vet clinic less arousing for them.
