Normal Cell Morphology In Canine And Feline Cytology

A concise and practical visual guide to normal cell identification for all those dealing with cytology in the dog and cat. Normal Cell Morphology in Canine and Feline Cytology: An Identification Guide takes a uniquely visual approach to normal cell identification in dogs and cats. Single-page presentations offer vivid snapshots of particular cell types, with high quality microphotographs matched with annotated schematic diagrams and accompanying explanatory text. Providing a vital understanding of what normal cells look like, this text is ideal for all those in small animal veterinary practice examining cytology samples. The book begins with a concise, yet comprehensive introduction to the principles of morphological identification, followed by a description of the distribution of cells and where different cell types can be sampled from in the various tissues and organs. The main part of the book is devoted to describing each cell type and its characteristics. Cytoarchitectures, observed non-cellular material and general pathological changes are also described. Offers a unique alphabetically organised visual guide to each cell type, covering cells from every type of organ and system Features an abundance of full-colour microphotographs accompanied by beautifully rendered schematic diagrams, making cell identification quick and easy Includes a visual index for ultimate ease of navigation at the microscope Normal Cell Morphology in Canine and Feline Cytology is a must-have text for veterinary students and an indispensable bench manual for small animal veterinary practitioners.

"This is a ‘go-to’ reference text for a serious cytologist. " Reviewed by: Kathleen Tennant on behalf of Veterinary Record, November 2015 Comprehensive coverage of all body systems and body fluids — and the pathological changes associated with various infectious agents — emphasizes areas in which the application of cytology has the greatest diagnostic value. Exceptional-quality, full-color photomicrographs show both normal and abnormal tissue and also include detailed legends. Discussions of clinical, differential, and cytological diagnosis accompany the illustrations of lesions and conditions in each chapter. Helpful hints for improving specimen quality are provided in discussions of common errors and problems encountered in the preparation of cytological specimens. Coverage of histology in organ system chapters demonstrates the histological or histopathologic corollary of cytologic findings. Clear, concise descriptions include sampling techniques, slide preparation and examination, and guidelines for interpretation, leading to accurate in-house and commercial laboratory diagnosis. Easy-to-use, well-organized format includes many tables, algorithms, boxes, and Key Point callouts for at-a-glance reference. NEW examples and identifiers and a new discussion on artifacts address the latest developments in canine and feline cytology. NEW! Dozens of new images include photomicrographs of blood and bone marrow cytology. NEW! All-new appendix summarizes clinically relevant information on artifacts, special tests, specific characteristics, and much more. UPDATED sampling techniques and examination guidelines include information on how and where to test for specific conditions.

This superb benchside reference thoroughly depicts the diagnostic application and interpretation of canine and feline cytology and cytopathology. Covering a wide range of diseases affecting multiple organ systems, over 630 full-color illustrations depict normal cytomorphologic features as well as cytopathologic findings. Photomicrographs are derived from an enormous collection of cytologic specimens that span many decades of clinical experience. Histology is provided in all relevant organ system chapters to demonstrate the histologic or histopathologic corollary of the cytologic findings. Each image has been carefully selected to best represent the normal cytomorphologic features and the notable cytopathologic findings. Includes introductory chapters on acquiring and managing of specimens and cytologic interpretation.
