CE DAYTIME SESSIONS
COMPANION ANIMAL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 _______________________________________ DENTAL EMERGENCIES 911…IT’S ALWAYS AT 5 PM ON A FRIDAY Dental emergencies can show up at any time to your already busy practice and Friday is no exception. This lecture will review those cases that are considered emergencies and how to address them. We will also discuss some 'emergencies' that can wait til Monday. FELINE TOOTH RESORPTIONS…IDENTIFYING TYPES AND HOW TO TREAT Barden Greenfield, DVM, DAVDC 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 207 AB Barden Greenfield, DVM, DAVDC 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 207 AB There are three Types of clinical presentations for tooth resorption (TR) in cats. Each presents to the practitioner a different treatment approach. Dental radiology is the key to identification of each one and how to proceed. Also , a step-by-step video review of crown amputations will be reviewed, so you can now perform the perfect oral surgery! A STEP-BY-STEP APPROACH TO SURGICAL EXTRACTION OF THE MANDIBULAR CANINE AND 1ST MOLAR Barden Greenfield, DVM, DAVDC 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 207 AB One of the hardest oral surgical extractions are the mandibular canine and the mandibular 1st molar tooth. Mandibular fracture secondary to aggressive extraction technique is a real possibility. This lecture will review how best to surgically extract these teeth using both luxation and elevation. That, along with proper flap presentation and appropriate buccal bone removal will help you navigate through these difficult procedures. A video step-by-step of these oral surgical extractions will be presented. CANINE DENTAL RADIOGRAPHY AND PATHOLOGY…AND INTRODUCTION TO CONE BEAM CT (CBCT) Barden Greenfield, DVM, DAVDC 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 207 AB Dental radiography is the standard of care for any practice performing anesthetic dental procedures. This lecture will review initially how to avoid superimposition of maxillary cheek teeth as well as other difficult images in mouth. After this brief review, we will look at various dental pathological radiographic conditions that you will see on a day-in-day-out basis. Some will be quite interesting as there can be variances in presentations. Finally, a brief introduction to cone beam CT will be mentioned with some really cool images to share. WELL, YOU DON'T SEE THAT EVERY DAY--OR DO YOU? NOT-SO-UNCOMMON FELINE SKIN DISEASES Cherie Pucheu, DVM, PhD, DACVD 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Hemisfair Ballroom 2 Feline dermatology can be frustrating at the best of times. Very few feline skin diseases have "classic" or "pathognomonic" clinical appearances. Cats with skin disease are better evaluated using a "reaction pattern" approach. But, what is a clinician to do if their patient doesn't fit in to any of those patterns? The purpose of this lecture is to introduce you to a few feline dermatopathies that do not necessarily "read the book". WHEN A FUNGUS ISN'T A FUNGUS: PYTHIUM, PARALAGENIDIUM AND LAGENIDIUM Cherie Pucheu, DVM, PhD, DACVD 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Hemisfair Ballroom 2 The majority of cutaneous fungal infections in small animals are the “superficial” fungi. These include the various species of dermatophytes (including their atypical forms, such as kerions or subcutaneous dermatophytosis), Malassezia and occasionally Candida. However, companion animals may also be infected with more invasive, difficult to manage
CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 _______________________________________ AVIAN HEMATOLOGY AND CLINICAL CASE CORRELATES (WITH A LITTLE CHEMISTRY!) Natalie Antinoff, DVM, DABVP (Avian Practice) 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 007 B This session will go over the avian hemogram, identifying some of the unique features of the avian red and white blood cells. We will then review a series of real-life case presentations and interpret lab results to come up with a diagnosis for each patient. It's got a little bit of everything! RABBIT AND RODENT CLINICAL PATHOLOGY - WHERE DO I GET BLOOD AND WHAT DO THE RESULTS MEAN? Natalie Antinoff, DVM, DABVP (Avian Practice) 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 007 B This session will focus on safe methods of blood collection in rabbits and rodents commonly seen in practice as well as maximizing diagnostic capabilities for small samples. We will also discuss the interpretation of results. The emphasis will be on features that are more unique to these animals and will improve your ability to collect and interpret lab results. SKIN PARASITES OF EXOTIC PETS - DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT Natalie Antinoff, DVM, DABVP (Avian Practice) 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 007 B We will review some of the skin, fur and feather parasites seen in common exotic pets. This session will include information on birds, mammals and reptiles. In addition to making the diagnosis, we will also address safe and effective methods for treatment of these parasites. RENAL BIOMARKERS (INCLUDING CREATININE, SDMA AND PROTEINURIA) Jessica Hokamp, DVM, PhD, DACVP (Clinical Pathology) 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 007 B This presentation will discuss the basic clinical utility, limitations and important considerations for interpretation of 3 major renal biomarkers commonly used in the veterinary clinical setting, including: 1) biomarkers of glomerular filtration rate and renal function (serum creatinine and SDMA) and, 2) biomarkers of magnitude and origin of renal damage (proteinuria and electrophoretic urine protein banding patterns). URINALYSIS BEST PRACTICES Jessica Hokamp, DVM, PhD, DACVP (Clinical Pathology) 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Room 007 B Complete urinalysis is sometimes underutilized in clinical practice. This session will provide the attendee with tips for getting the most out of an in-clinic urinalysis, including processing techniques for improved results. Further, this session will discuss capabilities, limitations and interpretation considerations of selected in-clinic automated urine chemistry and sediment analyzers. EFFUSION CONFUSION Jessica Hokamp, DVM, PhD, DACVP (Clinical Pathology) 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 007 B This session will be case-based and will present examples of both classic and challenging effusions in domestic veterinary species. Participants will be asked to consider how they would interpret each case and the cytologist will provide their interpretation and reasoning. The attendee will learn key features of basic and challenging effusion types including: transudates, exudates, chylous effusions and neoplastic effusions.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 _______________________________________ ANALYZING THE IN-CLINIC ANALYZER: MAINTAINING AND TRUSTING YOUR MACHINES Francisco Conrado, DVM, MSc, DACVP 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 007 B As technology evolves and more point-of-care instruments become available, running diagnostic tests in house is more common than ever. However, keeping up with quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) of these machines is paramount to obtain accurate results. Additionally, there are intrinsic limitations to what these instruments can do and recognizing when more robust tests or send outs are needed is crucial. In this session, we will review the basics of in-house QA/QC and discuss limitations of point-of-care instrumentation and shortcomings of methodology, with a focus on when to send samples out for expert/pathologist evaluation. COUGHING UP A DIAGNOSIS: THE BASICS OF RESPIRATORY CYTOLOGY Francisco Conrado, DVM, MSc, DACVP 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 007 B A patient with respiratory clinical signs may have a variety of underlying etiologies. Different presentations, signalment and advanced imaging findings will prompt different sampling methods and techniques when trying to achieve a diagnosis. In this session, we will discuss different methods for sampling the respiratory tract for cytologic evaluation (e.g., fine-needle aspiration, respiratory washes), the basics on how these samples are prepared for analysis, their evaluation and how to interpret the results in the context of clinical findings. COMMON MISTAKES IN EXOTICS CLINICAL PATHOLOGY (AND HOW TO AVOID THEM) Francisco Conrado, DVM, MSc, DACVP 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 007 B The three stages of diagnostic medicine, pre- analytical, analytical and post-analytical are all prone to errors. In Clinical Pathology, most of these occur in the pre-analytical phase. When analyzing samples from wildlife and exotic/non-domestic species, these possible mistakes are potentially amplified by intrinsic peculiarities of sample collection and storage, potential contaminants or artifacts, analytical variances or technical requirements, as well as specific interpretative details. In this session, we will discuss some of the basic mistakes one can make when collecting, analyzing and interpreting clinicopathologic data in non-domestic species. WHAT'S NEW: DIGITAL CYTOPATHOLOGY Sarah Beatty, DVM, DACVP 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 007 B In-clinic patient-side testing is increasingly performed using point of care analyzers, most recently digital cytology scanners. Basic concepts and features related to reference lab digital cytology and in-clinic digital cytology will be reviewed. Useful tips for optimal results and basic considerations for everyday use will be discussed. THE WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHY, HOW OF PERIPHERAL BLOOD FILM REVIEW Sarah Beatty, DVM, DACVP 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Room 007 B Peripheral blood film examination is complimentary to hematology analyzer generated data and can provide clinically useful information. This task can be time consuming, so we will focus on case selection, best practices for in-clinic evaluation and which samples to consider sending for further pathology review. CYTOLOGY PREPARATION AND BASIC IN-CLINIC EVALUATION Sarah Beatty, DVM, DACVP 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 007 B Cytology is a relatively inexpensive and fast diagnostic test utilized to diagnose disease. We will cover best practices for sample collection, preparation and basic in-clinic evaluation.
