EJCAP Spring issue: Mast cell tumours...
What is the best diagnostic approach of a mass that looks like a mast cell tumour? In which MCTs should I recommend chemotherapy? How do tyrosine kinase inhibitors work? These and other questions are addressed by Laura Blackwood (Liverpool) in her paper on Mast cell tumour advances, which she presented at the Dublin EuroCongress.
...and more
Do experts agree about the use of digoxin in congestive heart failure? How does the use of pimobendan compare to benazepril? Find out more in the paper by Jens Häggström et al (Sweden) on therapeutic advances of CHF.
What are stress marks on parrot feathers? What causes abnormal feather colouring? Read all about it in the paper by Yvonne van Zeeland and Nico Schoemaker.
Does spaying really reduce the risk of mammary tumours? And is there an impact on survival time? Veronica Kristiansen did a comparative study to find out.
The Spring EJCAP issue also reports on the FECAVA Laboklin travel bursary, new FECAVA member Georgia, puppy farming, the stray dog issue in Romania and book reviews. This and much more can all be found here.
