The goal of this study was to evaluate the retention of veterinary clinical pathology knowledge between the fourth-semester and fourth-year clinical pathology courses. We hypothesize that students will forget a significant amount of content area knowledge between the fourth semester and fourth year in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program. We further hypothesize that a review of material during the fourth-year clinical pathology rotation will help students rebuild existing knowledge and increase performance on specific test questions, between T2 (rotation pre-test) and T3 (rotation post-test). Initial mastery of course material was assessed via a 94-item multiple-choice final exam (T1) given in the semester 4 clinical pathology course. Retention of course material from semester 4 to year 4 was assessed via a 55-item multiple-choice pre-test, administered at the start of the clinical pathology rotation in year 4 while learning/mastery during the clinical rotation was assessed via a 55-item multiple-choice post-test, administered at the end of each clinical pathology rotation. In this study, evidence of knowledge retention between semester 4 and year 4 was 55.5%. There is a small increase in the measure of knowledge gain from the beginning to the end of the rotation. As an added benefit, we were able to use identified trends for retention of knowledge within specific subject areas as a mechanism to evaluate the effectiveness of our course and reallocate additional instructional time to topics with poorer retention. }, number={6}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Medical Education}, publisher={University of Toronto Press Inc.

These policies should also articulate reasonable consequences for persons found in violation. The problem, however, is that all academic misconduct offenses are not created equal, and determining reasonable consequences for these violations can be particularly challenging due to their subjective nature. Thus, the purpose of this study was to introduce a novel method for more objectively determining reasonable sanctions for several academic misconduct offenses of varying degrees of severity. We utilized a variation of the Bookmark procedure, a popular standard-setting technique used primarily by psychometricians in high-stakes testing environments, to investigate empirical survey data and develop policy recommendations. We encourage others to use this procedure, where appropriate, to identify appropriate cut scores and ranges to aid in policy development across a variety of contexts. }, number={1}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Medical Education}, publisher={University of Toronto Press Inc.

Clinical and research usefulness of articles can depend on image quality. This study addressed whether scans of figures in black and white (B&W), grayscale, or color, or portable document format (PDF) to tagged image file format (TIFF) conversions as provided by interlibrary loan or document delivery were viewed as acceptable or useful by radiologists or pathologists.


METHODS
Residency coordinators selected eighteen figures from studies from radiology, clinical pathology, and anatomic pathology journals. With original PDF controls, each figure was prepared in three or four experimental conditions: PDF conversion to TIFF, and scans from print in B&W, grayscale, and color. Twelve independent observers indicated whether they could identify the features and whether the image quality was acceptable. They also ranked all the experimental conditions of each figure in terms of usefulness.


RESULTS
Of 982 assessments of 87 anatomic pathology, 83 clinical pathology, and 77 radiology images, 471 (48%) were unidentifiable. Unidentifiability of originals (4%) and conversions (10%) was low. For scans, unidentifiability ranged from 53% for color, to 74% for grayscale, to 97% for B&W. Of 987 responses about acceptability (n=405), 41% were said to be unacceptable, 97% of B&W, 66% of grayscale, 41% of color, and 1% of conversions. Hypothesized order (original, conversion, color, grayscale, B&W) matched 67% of rankings (n=215).


CONCLUSIONS
PDF to TIFF conversion provided acceptable content. Color images are rarely useful in grayscale (12%) or B&W (less than 1%). Acceptability of grayscale scans of noncolor originals was 52%. Digital originals are needed for most images. Print images in color or grayscale should be scanned using those modalities.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION}, author={Alpi, Kristine M. and Brown, James C., Jr. and Neel, Jennifer A. and Grindem, Carol B. and Linder, Keith E. and Harper, James B.}, year={2016}, month={Jan}, pages={15–23} }

Two months previously, the dog had presented to the referring veterinarian with signs of lethargy and severe neck pain, and the owners reported recent removal of ticks from the dog at that time. A CBC, a biochemistry panel, and spinal radiographs were unremarkable, and an in-house canine ELISAa test for heartworm disease, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia canis, and Borrelia burgdorferi was negative. The patient was treated with meloxicamb (0.1 mg/kg PO q24h) and a 3-week course of doxycycline (5.9 mg/kg PO q12h), after which improvement was noted. However, similar clinical signs returned approximately 7 weeks after the initial episode. Doxycycline (5.5 mg/kg PO q12h) was restarted and clindamycin (16.6 mg/kg PO q12h) added for possible toxoplasmosis. There was no improvement 3 days after initiation of treatment, and referral to NCSU-VTH was recommended. On physical examination, the patient was febrile (103.5°F), with dull mentation, low head carriage, stiff neck, and trembling in all limbs. Profound vocalization was elicited on flexion, extension, and lateralization of the neck consistent with severe pain. Neurologic reflexes were normal. A serum biochemistry profile showed mild hyperglycemia (129 mg/dL; reference interval, 60–110 mg/dL). A CBC performed on a point-of-care analyzer disclosed mild normocytic, normochromic anemia (Hct, 36.2%; reference interval, 37–55%) and mild leukocytosis (21.8 × 103/μL; reference interval, 6.0–17.0 × 103/μL) characterized by mature neutrophila (18.09 × 103/μL; reference interval, 2.8–9.1 × 103/μL) and monocytosis (1.5 × 103/μL; reference interval, 0.59–0.85 × 103/μL). Differential diagnosis for the leukogram included inflammation or a physiological response. Urinalysis and thoracic radiographs were unremarkable. Evaluation of cisternal CSF indicated extreme neutrophilic (nondegenerate) pleocytosis with severely increased protein concentration (TNCC, 3,000/μL; protein, 175 mg/dL) consistent with meningitis. Pooled blood and CSF samples were polymerase chain reaction (PCR) negative for A. phagocytophilum, E. canis, B. burgdorferi, Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora spp., canine distemper virus, and West Nile virus.c A CSF culture was not performed. Before the results of the aforementioned infectious disease tests were available, treatment with doxycycline and clindamycin was continued, and prednisone (1.1 mg/kg q12h) was started. Five days later when the results were available, antibiotics were discontinued and a presumptive diagnosis of steroid responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA) was made. The patient's clinical signs resolved. Approximately 7 weeks later, while still receiving prednisone (0.27 mg/kg q12h), the dog became lethargic and inappetent with slight head tremors. Examination by the referring veterinarian identified a fever of 105°F and the patient was hospitalized at the referring veterinarian's hospital. Concerned over a potential relapse of the presumptive SRMA, the referring veterinarian consulted the attending neurologist at NCSU-VTH by phone. Although relapse of the SRMA was considered, the possibility of infection secondary to immunosuppression also was discussed and additional diagnostics, including reevaluating the CSF, was recommended. Empirically, under the referring veterinarian's care, the antibiotics were restarted and the prednisone dosage ultimately increased (1.6 mg/kg q12h). The dog showed no improvement during hospitalization for 4 days and was transferred to NCSU-VTH. At 2nd presentation to NCSU-VTH, the patient was stuporous and febrile (103°F). Occasional head tremors were noted, and spinal reflexes were delayed. The mucous membranes were pale with multifocal petechiae. Melena was observed. A serum biochemistry profile showed mild hypoalbuminemia (2.2 g/dL; reference interval, 2.5–4.4 g/dL), mild hyperbilirubinemia (0.8 mg/dL; reference interval, 0.1–0.6 mg/dL), and increased ALP (1195 IU/L; reference interval, 20–150 IU/L) and ALT (318 IU/L; reference interval, 10–118 IU/L). A CBC indicated moderate, normocytic, normochromic, nonregenerative anemia (Hct, 21.3%; reference interval, 39.2–55.9%), severe thrombocytopenia (13 × 103/μL; reference interval, 190–468 × 103/μL), and mild leukopenia (4.02 × 103/μL; reference interval, 4.39–11.61 × 103/μL) characterized by neutropenia (1.9 × 103/μL; reference interval, 2.8–9.1 × 103/μL) with a left shift (0.32 × 103/μL). A coagulation panel showed both prolonged PT (11.8 s; reference interval, 6.8–10.7 s) and APTT (46.4 s; reference interval, 75–13.8 s) with D-dimers > 2,000 ng/dL (reference interval, < 250 ng/dL) and a fibrinogen concentration of 100 mg/dL (reference interval, 100–300 mg/dL). Thoracic radiographs were unremarkable. Blood smear examination identified low numbers of spherocytes and marked neutrophilic toxic change. Moderate numbers of monocytes and neutrophils had mild to moderate nuclear swelling or karyorrhexis consistent with degenerative changes, and virtually every neutrophil and monocyte contained varying numbers of small (0.2–1 μm), pale basophilic, irregularly round, oblong, linear, or curvilinear structures consistent with a pleomorphic bacterial population (Fig 1). Initially, because of the pleomorphic morphology of the bacteria paired with their presence within both monocytes and neutrophils, Rhodococcus equi was considered a potential cause of the septicemia. However, a Gram stain indicated a gram-negative organism. CBC and blood smear findings were consistent with severe overwhelming inflammation becuase of septicemia. The anemia most likely was caused by a combination of blood loss, anemia of inflammatory disease and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, potentially secondary to treatment or the bacterial infection. The coagulation panel supported fulminant disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Peripheral blood smear, Wright-Giemsa staining (100x objective). Ruptured leukocytes with released F. philomiragia bacteria in the background. Note the pleomorphism among the bacteria. 650 × 520 mm (150 × 150 DPI). Despite treatments, including IV fluid therapy, ampicillin/sulbactam (22 mg/kg IV q8h), famotidine (0.5 mg/kg IV q12h), pantoprazole (1 mg/kg IV q24h), fresh frozen plasma, and packed RBC transfusions, the patient continued to deteriorate, became nonresponsive, and was euthanized 19 hours after admission. At necropsy, macroscopic examination disclosed moderate disseminated petechiae in the subcutis, mucous membranes, diaphragm, mesentery, kidney, lungs, heart, and serosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal tract consistent with the clinical and laboratory diagnosis of fulminant DIC. CSF was collected for culture. Histopathology of liver, spleen, bone marrow, lungs, and various lymph nodes identified multifocal to disseminated, moderate to severe, histiocytic inflammation with large numbers of intrahistiocytic, Gram-negative bacterial organisms with accompanying necrosis, hemorrhage, and fibrin deposition. Within the brain, mild, multifocal lymphoplasmacytic meningoencephalitis and choroiditis were observed, but no areas of histiocytic inflammation or bacterial organisms were found. Whole blood and CSF were submitted for bacterial culture. Whole blood and the bacterial isolate from the blood culture were frozen and stored at −70°C. Culture of the CSF yielded a weakly fermenting, Gram negative rod that could not be further characterized, and the isolate was sent to the state diagnostic laboratory.d Based on conventional macrotube biochemical methods and phenotypic properties, further characterization was again not possible, and the isolate was sent to a reference laboratorye for molecular identification. PCR amplification of 16S rRNA gene segments yielded sequences consistent with Francisella philomiragia (>99% identity). To confirm F. philomiragia as the cause of the septicemia, PCR amplification of 16S rRNA gene segments was performedf as previously described1 on the saved whole blood, banked blood smear, and blood culture isolate and yielded sequences consistent with F. philomiragia (>99% identity). To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of F. philomiragia septicemia in a dog. Francisella species are small, facultatively intracellular, Gram negative, catalase positive, pleomorphic coccobacilli. There are 2 recognized species, F. tularensis (agent of tularemia or “rabbit fever”) and F. philomiragia. Several subspecies of F. tularensis exist. Although Francisella species are morphologically similar and share similar biochemical activities and a high degree of DNA relatedness, F. tularensis and F. philomiragia contrast markedly in their epidemiological and clinical features.2, 3F. tularensis is more virulent, and most infections occur in immunocompetent individuals. In the United States, tularemia is acquired primarily by contact with infected ticks or animals (especially rabbits) or ingestion of contaminated meat or freshwater. In contrast, F. philomiragia is an opportunistic agent that rarely is reported to cause clinical disease. Isolation of this species is infrequent with only 18 isolations over a 40-year period (1 animal and 17 human) reported in the literature.4-7 Most isolates are from North America with one each from Turkey and Switzerland. The majority are associated with salt water exposure with neither animal nor arthropod vectors implicated in human transmission. F. philomiragia was first isolated in 1969 in Utah from a dying muskrat and the water in the surrounding marshy area where it was found (part of the Great Salt Lake waterway).6 Originally classified as Yersinia philomiragia, it was reclassified as F. philomiragia in 1989 based on biochemical and genetic tests.3F. philomiragia is only rarely reported in the literature as a cause of invasive infection (pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis) in humans. In 1 case series of 14 patients infected with F. philomiragia, 3 groups were reported at risk: patients with either chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) or myeloproliferative disease, and those surviving a near-drowning in salt or estuary water.4 It was also found that 12 of the 14 patients lived within 50 miles of a salt water coastline.4 These diseases and situations render individuals more susceptible to infection because of an impaired physical barrier to infection (near-drowning) or an impaired immune system (CGD, myeloproliferative disease).2, 4 CGD is a group of inherited disorders characterized by the inability of phagocytes to produce reactive oxygen species, including hydrogen peroxide, owing to a defect in the NADPH oxidase system. Affected individuals develop recurrent infections and granulomatous lesions caused by a narrow range of bacteria and fungi.8 Catalase negative organisms (ie, streptococci) can be killed because of the accumulation of their own endogenous hydrogen peroxide within phagocytic vacuoles.5 In contrast, catalase-positive organisms including F. philomiragia and others (Staphylococcus aureus, Serratia spp., Aspergillus spp.) metabolize their endogenous hydrogen peroxide, leaving affected individuals vulnerable to infection.4, 5 Humans with CGD and subsequent F. philomiragia infection had fever, pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, or a combination of these, with the bacterium isolated from blood, lung biopsy samples, or CSF.4, 5, 7 One patient died of septicemia. Patients receiving chemotherapy for treatment of a myeloproliferative disorder presented with fever and had F. philomiragia isolated from pericardial fluid and blood.4 Lung damage secondary to near drowning renders immunocompetent individuals susceptible to invasive infection by normally nonpathogenic organisms. All of the near drowning-associated human infections occurred in association with salt or estuary water.4 These patients were diagnosed with either pneumonia or sepsis with the bacterium isolated from blood in all cases. As with human cases of F. philomiragia infection, conventional identification of the bacterial isolate was challenging. Microscopically, culture isolates may be highly pleomorphic with bizarre, irregular to coccobacillary forms.5, 7 They are relatively fastidious with slow growth and give weak or delayed reactions in conventional biochemical test methods (eg, acid production from glucose, maltose, and sucrose).3, 5, 7 In this case, these characteristics necessitated identification by PCR amplification of 16S rRNA gene segments, ultimately confirming infection with F. philomiragia. Although 16S rRNA gene sequencing yields the most rapid identification of F. philomiragia, identification by biochemical characteristics is possible. Recognition of a highly pleomorphic, fastidious, halophilic bacterium combined with the production of oxidase (usually weak positive) and gelatinase is highly suggestive.3, 5, 7 Although antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Francisella species is not standardized, successful treatment of F. philomiragia based on broth microdilution method was achieved in the majority of reported human cases.4F. philomiragia isolates were susceptible in vitro to aminoglycosides, cefoxitin, cefotaxime, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol. They were resistant to ampicillin and produced β-lactamase. Successful treatment with ciprofloxacin recently has been reported.5 Despite its in vitro susceptibility to tetracycline and chloramphenicol, treatment alone with a bacteriostatic antibiotic may result in treatment failures because F. philomiragia is a facultatively intracellular bacterium. It is unclear whether or not this patient's clinical disease at the time of initial presentation was because of SRMA. There is no definitive antemortem test for SRMA and diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical signs, nonspecific laboratory findings and exclusion of other diseases. The dog may have already been infected with F. philomiragia, and infection rendered subclinical by initial treatment with doxycycline. Although the dog did not seem to have any of the 3 major risk factors identified in humans, like the majority of human F. philomiragia infections, this patient lived within 50 miles of a salt water coast (coastal town of North Carolina) and the owners reported taking the dog to swim in the river the week before the first visit to NCSU-VTH. Alternatively, immunosuppressive doses of prednisone may have predisposed the dog to bacterial infection, resulting in infection during the course of treatment for presumptive SRMA. F. philomiragia is an opportunistic bacterium that should be considered as a cause of invasive infection in immune-compromised veterinary patients or in those with compromised lung tissue (ie, near drowning event, aspiration pneumonia), especially if the patient has contact with, or lives near, salt water. Similar to R. equi, the unique, pleomorphic, coccobacillary appearance of the organism and its location within monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils is helpful in identification. Familiarity with this organism is important for appropriate antibiotic administration and successful treatment. aCanine SNAP 4Dx, IDEXX Laboratories Inc, Westbrook, ME bMetacam, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc, St. Joesph, MO cLucy Whitter Molecular and Diagnostics Core Facility—TaqMan Service, Davis, CA dNorth Carolina Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory System-Rollins, Raleigh, NC eWashington Animal Disease Diagnostic Lab, Pullman, WA fVector Borne Diagnostic Disease Laboratory, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE}, author={Cora, M.

Understanding differences in learning styles permits instructors to design course materials that allow all types of learners to absorb and process information. Students who know their own learning style are better able to help themselves in courses taught in a non-preferred method by developing study strategies in line with their preferred learning method. We used the Felder and Solomon Index of Learning Styles to assess the learning-style profiles of 150 veterinary students in three consecutive years. Students were predominantly active (56.7%), sensing (79.3%), visual (76.7%), and sequential (69.3%). Most were balanced on the active–reflective (59.3%) and global–sequential (50%) dimensions, and 61.3% and 54% were moderately to strongly sensing and visual, respectively. Small but significant numbers of students were moderately to strongly intuitive (8.7%), verbal (13%), and global (12%). The most common patterns were active–sensing–visual–sequential (26%), reflective–sensing–visual–sequential (19.3%), active–sensing–visual–global (8.7%), and active–sensing–verbal–sequential (8.7%). Although most students (65.3%) were balanced on one to two dimensions, 77.3% had one or more strong preferences. Our results show that although people have dominant learning-style preference and patterns, they have significant minor preferences and patterns across all dimensions with moderate to strong preferences on each scale. These results indicate that a balanced approach to teaching is essential to allow all students to learn optimally. }, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EDUCATION}, author={Neel, Jennifer A. and Grindem, Carol B.}, year={2010}, pages={347–352} }

The dog had been receiving potassium citrate capsules to acidify urine for the past 2 years because of an earlier history of urolithiasis. Results of neurologic examination, spinal cord radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging of the skull and spinal cord revealed no lesions that could have accounted for the neurologic signs. The main abnormalities on a clinical chemistry profile were marked hyperchloremia (179 mmol/L, reference interval 108–122 mmol/L) and an anion gap of −50.4 mmol/L (reference interval 16.3–28.6 mmol/L). Because of the severe hyperchloremia, serum bromide concentration was measured (400 mg/dL; toxic concentration >150 mg/dL; some dogs may tolerate up to 300 mg/dL). Analysis of the potassium citrate capsules, which had been compounded at a local pharmacy, yielded a mean bromide concentration of 239 mg/capsule. Administration of the capsules was discontinued and there was rapid resolution of the dog's neurologic signs. This case of extreme bromide toxicity, which apparently resulted from inadvertent use of bromide instead of citrate at the pharmacy, illustrates the importance of knowing common interferents with analyte methodologies and of pursing logical additional diagnostic tests based on clinical and laboratory evidence, even when a patient's history appears to rule out a potential etiology.}, number={3}, journal={VETERINARY CLINICAL PATHOLOGY}, author={Piperisova, Ida and Neel, Jennifer A. and Papich, Mark G.}, year={2009}, month={Sep}, pages={411–414} }

Cytologic evaluation of peritoneal fluid revealed marked suppurative inflammation with intracellular barium sulfate particles. The day before presentation, the referring veterinarian had administered oral barium sulfate in an upper gastrointestinal contrast study. Radiographs revealed free contrast material in the peritoneal cavity, consistent with gastrointestinal perforation, and leakage of contrast material. Abdominal exploratory surgery revealed a mid‐jejunal perforation and a hepatic nodule. Histopathologic diagnosis of the jejunal and liver lesions was T‐cell lymphoma. The patient recovered well postoperatively and received chemotherapy for treatment of lymphoma.

Analysis of cisternal and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples revealed normal total nucleated cell counts and a mild increase in protein concentration in the lumbar sample. In cytocentrifuged specimens of both CSF samples, aggregates of refractile, angular to irregular, pale blue to colorless, crystalline material were observed in the background. Some of the material appeared birefringent under polarized light. Differentials for the material included contrast agent, epidural anesthetics or other pharmacologic agents, or artifact introduced through sample processing, collection, or handling. Based on investigation of clinical and laboratory processes it was determined that tubes used to collect CSF in the hospital recently had been changed from additive‐free glass tubes to silica‐coated shatter‐resistant plastic tubes (BD Vacutainer Plus serum tubes, silicone‐coated, Becton Dickinson). A cytocentrifuged preparation of saline placed in a silica‐coated tube contained crystalline material identical to that observed in the CSF samples; saline placed in an additive‐free glass tube contained no material. In this case, we document the microscopic appearance of highly concentrated silica particles in cytocentrifuged preparations of CSF and underscore the importance of recognizing and identifying this artifact in cytologic preparations.}, number={4}, journal={VETERINARY CLINICAL PATHOLOGY}, author={Snyder, Laura A. and Tarigo, Jaime L. and Neel, Jennifer A.}, year={2007}, month={Dec}, pages={379–381} }

The lesions consisted of patchy alopecia with mild crusting of the periauricular region, neck, and dorsum; periauricular excoriations; marked dorsal seborrhea and scaling; and generalized erythematous papules. A moderate amount of ceruminous exudate was present in both ear canals. Results of testing for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) were positive. An ear swab specimen and superficial and deep skin scrapings were obtained, mounted with oil on glass slides, and coverslipped for microscopic examination. Two populations of mites were observed: a large population of slender, long (∼200 μm), adult mites with long, tapering abdomens that comprised two‐thirds of the total body length; and a smaller population of more translucent and shorter mites (∼100 μm) with wide, blunt abdomens that had prominent transverse ridges. The interpretation was demodicosis, with Demodex cati and D gatoi co‐infection. Histologic sections of biopsies from skin lesions on the neck, dorsum, and periauricular area contained a mild perivascular and perifollicular inflammatory infiltrate composed predominantly of histiocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. Diffusely within the follicular lumina and occasionally within the superficial keratin, a myriad of Demodex organisms were observed. Intrafollicular mites were compatible in appearance with D cati whereas those in the corneal layer were suggestive of D gatoi. Demodicosis is an uncommon disease of cats, and rare cases of dual infection have been documented, occasionally in FIV‐infected cats. The dual infection emphasizes the importance of doing both superficial and deep skin scrapings and of recognizing the unique microscopic features of different Demodex mites.}, number={1}, journal={VETERINARY CLINICAL PATHOLOGY}, author={Neel, Jennifer A. and Tarigo, Jaime and Tater, Kathy C. and Grindem, Carol B.}, year={2007}, month={Mar}, pages={101–104} }

This technology has been assessed in human medical education for teaching histology and histopathology, but, to the authors’ knowledge, no one has evaluated its use in teaching cytopathology in veterinary medical education. We hypothesize that students will respond positively to the use of VM for viewing cytopathology preparations and that the technology can be successfully used for student assessment. To test this hypothesis, we surveyed students regarding their level of satisfaction with features of the VM system, their preference for use of VM in the curriculum, and the potential influence virtual slides may have on student study habits; student performance on a traditional cytopathology practical examination and a similar exam using VM was evaluated. Our results show that student perception of the VM system is generally very positive, with some concerns about resolution and the need for continued exposure to traditional microscopy. Within the curriculum, students indicated a preference for the option of using virtual slides for studying and take-home exercises. Overwhelmingly, students wanted either hybrid laboratory sessions or sessions using glass slides with virtual slides available for study and review. Students identified many VM test-taking features as advantageous compared with traditional glass-slide practical exams as traditionally administered. However, students indicated a strong preference for continued use of traditional microscopy for graded practical exams. Students may be more likely to study slides in preparation for practical examinations if virtual slides are available. Results also indicate that VM can be used successfully for assessment purposes, but students should receive training in using virtual slides if the technology will be used for assessment. }, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EDUCATION}, author={Neel, Jennifer A. and Grindem, Carol B. and Bristol, David G.}, year={2007}, pages={437–444} }

Serum biochemistry findings were indicative of cholestasis, hepatocellular insult, and decreased hepatic function. Ultrasound examination showed sediment and gas within the gallbladder, and a diagnosis of emphysematous cholecystitis was made. Emergency gallbladder resection was performed. Cytologic examination of bile fluid collected at surgery showed a mixed population of bacteria (bactibilia) together with fungal organisms consistent with Cyniclomyces guttulatus (previously known as Saccharomycopsis guttulatus). Similar fungal organisms were seen on a fecal smear. Bacteria cultured were normal gastrointestinal flora, supporting ascending infection; the fungal organisms were interpreted as incidental. Histopathology of the gallbladder indicated active (suppurative) and chronic (lymphocytic) cholecystitis and sections of liver tissue had evidence of chronic liver disease. A positive liver culture indicated concurrent bacterial hepatitis or cholangiohepatitis. Despite supportive care, the dog continued to decline and was euthanized 30 days later. Necropsy results confirmed end stage liver disease, but an initiating cause was not found. This case highlights the role of bactibilia in the development of acute cholecystitis and the unique cytologic appearance of C guttulatus as an incidental finding in bile fluid.}, number={4}, journal={VETERINARY CLINICAL PATHOLOGY}, author={Neel, Jennifer A. and Tarigo, Jaime and Grindem, Carol B.}, year={2006}, month={Dec}, pages={467–470} }

Discrepancies using phenotype to predict genotype have been reported most frequently when evaluating small piroplasms. We amplified and sequenced the full-length 18S rRNA gene from a small piroplasm identified in a raccoon and used this sequence for phylogenetic analyses. Based on these analyses, the organism was placed in the Babesia sensu stricto clade, confirming that it is a true Babesia sp. This documents that at least two Babesia spp. can infect raccoons. The data generated in this study can be used to design molecular diagnostic tests for detection of this Babesia sp., which will be useful for epidemiologic and comparative phylogenetic studies.
