Handbook of Small Animal Radiological Differential Diagnosis
This book is the veterinary equivalent of the popular medical book Aids to Radiological Differential Diagnosis by Chapman and Nakielny, and will prove invaluable to all users of small animal diagnostic imaging, from radiologists through general practitioners to veterinary students. It is intended as an aide memoire of differential diagnoses and much other useful information in small animal radiology and ultrasound, in order to assist the radiologist to compile as complete a list of differential diagnoses as possible. Some details of radiographic technique (including contrast studies) are included and guidance on ultrasonographic technique and a description of the normal ultrasonographic appearance of organs is given. A large number of clear, schematic line drawings of many of the conditions are included, to complement the text. The book is divided into 12 chapters each representing different body systems, and for various radiographic and ultrasonographic abnormalities possible diagnoses are listed in approximate order of likelihood, including those due to normal anatomical variation and technical or iatrogenic causes. Conditions which principally or exclusively occur in cats are indicated, although many of the other diseases listed may occur in cats as well as in dogs.

Introduction to Animal Physiology and Physiological Genetics
Introduction to Animal Physiology and Physiological Genetics, deals with topics on physiological measurement, comparisons, and analysis of the role of genotypes. This book emphasizes two aspects the changes of physiological patterns in the course of development and the wide variation that can be found within a species. The text discusses the response mechanisms of living organisms from nerve impulses, chemical sense, muscle reaction, and includes some studies made on brain function. The effects of nutrition and energy such as the intake of food, water, oxygen, and the calculation of basic metabolic rates are explained. The book then discusses the role of the internal environment and that of the interstitial body fluid in the higher animals. The discussion covers blood circulation, cardiac cycle, and a special section on the function of the heartbeat in the spider Limulus showing that stimulation of the abdominal ganglia increases the heartbeats. The text also considers significant concepts of physiological genetics, and then explains asexual and sexual reproduction, the sex hormones of invertebrates, and the use of stimulants for animal production. The physiological differences between species are examined, but more particularly on the reservoir of genetic diversity, where differences abound between families and offspring. One research made in molecular biology concludes that genes are responsible for regulating the amino acid sequence of proteins. Molecular biologists, general biologists, zoologists, and microbiologists will find the articles in this collection invaluable.
