La ambliopía es un fenómeno cortical principalmente, causado por una entrada de información de ambos ojos desigual y competitiva en la corteza visual primaria (V1), aunque se desconoce el alcance exacto del deficit en la corteza visual. Los estudios electrofisiologicos e histologicos en modelos animales, han demostrado que el numero de neuronas corticales que responden al ojo ambliope es mucho menor que el numero estimulado por el ojo no ambliope. El potencial evocado visual multifocal (pEVmf) proporciona una identificacion objetiva de la distribucion del defecto en la funcion visual de la ambliopia. Estudios previos, utilizando PEV convencional o multifocal, han mostrado cambios significativos en las latencias y amplitudes de sujetos ambliopes. El PEV convencional se limita a obtener respuestas al estimulo en solo unas pocas ubicaciones de campo visual y no puede medir cuantitativamente el daño local en la ambliopia, pero estas limitaciones se pueden superar con la tecnologia del PEV multifocal.

This publication explains step by step how to approach and carry out caudal abdomen surgeries, by means of photos, diagrams and real clinical cases. Real clinical cases are described, showing the most appropriate surgeries for each one of them. Essential both for practicing professionals and students of veterinary surgery.

This illustrated work aims at helping veterinary surgeons to communicate with pet owners. In keeping with the previous volume about surgery, the illustrations of this atlas dedicated to dermatology will simplify the explanations given by vets to their clients about the anatomical, physiological and pathological characteristics of skin, as well as those about the diagnostic tests, treatments and surgical techniques that may need to be carried out in some cases. Every illustration was designed to help in the different clinical aspects of the dermatology consultation, from the anatomical and physiological considerations about the skin and its annexes, to the graphic description of infectious, inflammatory, endocrine, allergic or tumoral disease processes which cause dermatological conditions. The clarity and accuracy of the illustrations, designed to make the explanations given to owners easier to understand and less time consuming, turn this atlas into another useful clinical tool.

Newcastle disease is a contagious bird disease that affects many domestic and wild avian species in which has a great economic and ecologic impact. Besides, it is transmissible to humans, so that it is convenient to extreme caution and to take appropriate measures to avoid its spreading. This disease supposes a worldwide severe problem in lots of countries in which it has not been completely controlled, thus it is essential to know the most important features which make it very dangerous in poultry farming. Moreover, it has been used as an anticancer agent and a potential biological weapon, so that researches with this virus have been numerous in the last decades. Generally speaking, in veterinary medicine, it is necessary to perform an updated and gra-phic review about it. To make it easier, the author, a prestigious specialist in this field, has developed a thorough study in a didactic and visual way. The inclusion of images, tables, graphs and even flowcharts focuses the reader?s attention on this topic. These graphic resources are accompanied by a short text to make the handbook understandable. Thanks to this information, the veterinarians will get an overview of the disease and this tool will help them to know and tackle the disease successfully day after day.

Each of the illustrations is thought to help in the different fields and specialties of canine clinical medicine. That is why this atlas has been structured by systems and shows many of the most common diseases in dogs. The clarity and precision of the drawings, thought to facilitate and reduce the time spent on explanations to the owner, turn this atlas into another useful clinical tool.

This book deals with pain in companion animals and how it affects their welfare, health and, of course, behaviour. It describes the difficulties encountered, throughout history, to finally reach the conclusion that animals and humans share the same neurophysiological mechanisms to feel pain, and what their sensitive pathways are. It then goes deeper into the changes that pain can cause in the behaviour of dogs and cats and the tools available to the veterinary surgeon to control it. Good veterinary practice and professional ethics lead us to try to reduce pain in animals as much as possible. Having a book such as this one can help us achieve this objective.

This new volume of the collection presents the anatomical regionof the thorax. It describes the most common surgical procedures, for instance the thoracotomy or the placement of a thoracic drainage; and also the most complex ones like the placement of a transvalvular patch, the extraction of oesophagic foreign bodies, tracheal collapse treatment or innovative techniques such as cardioplasty in idiopatic megaesophagus cases. The high quality of its images, some of them come with diagrams and illustrations, allow an accurate description of the pathologies and their etiology.

Veterinary oncology is a specialty that is advancing at a very fastpace. This allows clinicians to have more and more resources at their disposal to treat their patients and, at the same time, requires them to have an in-depth and constantly updated knowledge of the subject. In order to help veterinary surgeons in this task, this book, titled ?Oncology, from theory to practice?, describes in detail and in an educational and accessible manner the basic and modern knowledge in this discipline, always from a practical point of view. Together with the essential aspects and the latest advances in oncology, this book includes a chapter about the most common specific neoplasms in daily practice, their protocols and recommended treatments, as well as several real clinical cases through which readers will be able to evaluate their knowledge of the subject. A book to turn veterinary oncology into one more of the specialities offered in daily practice.

Having images of the pathologies when carrying out a diagnosis is undoubtedly highly appreciated by vets, especially in dermatology consultation. Thanks to this atlas, vets will be able to look at images of common skin pathologies and thus be acknowledged for their ?clinical eye?, but they will also be able to view non-typical images that will guide those uncommon cases. Furthermore, typical images that are exclusive of certain localisations of the body (face, perianal area,claws) have been included at the end of the book. Each chapter includes images of the general clinical picture of each disease, aetiopathogenesis of the lesions, diagnostic method and treatment.

This is a pioneering book in veterinary medicine. The reader will be ableto visualise what really is happening in a diseased heart. Through threedimensional representation and augmented reality, every disorder can be seen, almost touching the 3D model above the book. In addition, the changes in blood flow produced by the pathologies can be visualised, bringing the reader even closer to the pathophysiological reality. The text addresses the major points of pathophysiology and diagnostic keys for the most common diseases, and the illustrations and pictures are a bridge between the 3D models and the text. Thus, the book succeeds in joining diagnosis, and particularly a test such as echocardiography, with the understanding of the pathophysiology.

The most important stage of lactation is the preparation period; this is called ?dry period, calving and peripartum?. This book explains in a didactic way all the factors that may influence in the peripartum of the dairy cow. The farm?s management during this period is critical and crucial for the farmer. The book contains a final collection of practical cases based on real situations. The objective of all farms should be to influence the lactation curve by means of clinical treatments, mastitis treatments, and alimentary management.

In this book we first propose the correct way to make a quick and complete necropsy which reveals the different organs and structures, offering a technique that can provide us with as much information as possible. Secondly, and directly connected with the necropsy process and maintaining both the orders and the observation plane, we show a significant number of lesions with their respective interpretations and possible relationships with one or more diseases.
