توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب دامپزشکی
بیماری های مبتلا به حیوانات بزرگ را درمان کنید! دامپزشکی، ویرایش یازدهم اطلاعات به روزی در مورد بیماری های اسب، گاو، گوسفند، بز و خوک ارائه می دهد. پوشش جامع شامل اصول معاینه بالینی و تشخیص به همراه توصیه های درمانی خاص است. برای استفاده آسان تر، این نسخه به دو جلد تقسیم شده است و به یک رویکرد منطقی و مبتنی بر تشریحی به بیماری تغییر ساختار داده است. از متخصصان دامپزشکی معروف بین المللی پیتر کنستبل، کنت هینچ کلیف، استنلی دان و والتر گرنبرگ، این کتاب مرجع قطعی و یک مرحله ای برای مراقبت از حیوانات مزرعه و اسب است. پوشش جامع شامل اطلاعات ضروری برای هر دامپزشک حیوانات بزرگ است، به ویژه کسانی که با اسب، گاو، گوسفند، بز یا خوک کار می کنند. پوشش بیماری‌ها به بیماری‌های بزرگ دام‌های بزرگ همه کشورها، از جمله حیوانات خارجی و بیماری‌های نوظهور می‌پردازد. فرمت کاربرپسند جذب سریع اطلاعات کلیدی را آسان تر می کند. بخش‌های بررسی/خلاصه سریع، یافتن اطلاعات مهم در مورد بیماری‌های پیچیده را آسان می‌کند. جدید! فرمت راحت و با دسترسی آسان توسط سیستم های ارگان سازماندهی شده است و محتوا را به دو جلد فشرده با پوشش معتبر یکسان تقسیم می کند. نزدیک به 200 عکس رنگی جدید و طراحی خط در این نسخه گنجانده شده است. طراحی جدید تمام رنگی ناوبری را بهبود می بخشد، عناوین موضوعی را روشن می کند و شامل کادرها، جداول و نمودارهای بیشتری برای ارجاع سریعتر می شود. فصل بیماری های جدید که عمدتاً بر سیستم تولید مثل تأثیر می گذارند اضافه شده است. فصل به روز شده و گسترش یافته در مورد دارودرمانی مداخلات درمانی را فهرست می کند و جعبه های درمانی و اصول استفاده از آنتی بیوتیک را ارائه می دهد. بخش های گسترده در مورد سلامت گله شامل امنیت زیستی و کنترل عفونت، و جعبه های ارزشمند Strength of Evidence است. بخش های جدید یا به طور گسترده اصلاح شده شامل موضوعاتی مانند اپیدمی های ویروسی Schmallenberg و Bluetongue در نشخوارکنندگان در اروپا، بیماری Wesselbron در گاو، هیپوکالمی در گاو بالغ، فیبروز ریوی چند ندولار اسب، عفونت ویروس Hendra، سندرم تولیدمثلی و تنفسی خوک، ویروس گشتاور تنو، و بسیاری از اختلالات مادرزادی و ارثی که اخیراً در حیوانات بزرگ شناسایی شده است. مطالب اضافی در مورد لنگش در گاو و بیماری های دهانه رحم ارائه شده است.
توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی
Treat the diseases affecting large animals! Veterinary Medicine, 11th Edition provides up-to-date information on the diseases of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. Comprehensive coverage includes the principles of clinical examination and making a diagnosis, along with specific therapy recommendations. For easier use, this edition has been divided into two volumes and restructured into a logical, anatomically based approach to disease. From internationally known veterinary experts Peter Constable, Kenneth Hinchcliff, Stanley Done, and Walter Gr�nberg, this book is the definitive, one-stop reference for farm animal and equine care. Comprehensive coverage includes information essential to any large-animal veterinarian, especially those working with horses, cattle, sheep, goats, or pigs. Coverage of diseases addresses major large-animal diseases of all countries, including foreign animal and emerging diseases. User-friendly format makes it easier to quickly absorb key information. Quick review/synopsis sections make important information on complex diseases easy to find. NEW! Convenient, easy-access format is organized by organ systems, and divides the content into two compact volumes with the same authoritative coverage. Nearly 200 new color photographs and line drawings are included in this edition. NEW full-color design improves navigation, clarifies subject headings, and includes more boxes, tables, and charts for faster reference. New Diseases Primarily Affecting the Reproductive System chapter is added. Updated and expanded chapter on pharmacotherapy lists therapeutic interventions and offers treatment boxes and principles of antibiotic use. Expanded sections on herd health include biosecurity and infection control, and valuable Strength of Evidence boxes. NEW or extensively revised sections include topics such as the Schmallenberg and Bluetongue viral epidemics of ruminants in Europe, Wesselbron disease in cattle, hypokalemia in adult cattle, equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis, Hendra virus infection, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, torque teno virus, and numerous recently identified congenital and inherited disorders of large animals. Additional content is provided on lameness in cattle and the diseases of cervids.
