Genomics is too important to ignoreSeptember 21, 2023Genomics is simply the study of DNA’s effects on and interactions with all the other systems within a biological organism. What makes this field especially exciting right now is the sheer number of breakthroughs and practical applications making their way into human medical practice—and slowly but surely into veterinary practices.
AI-driven radiography partnership aims to advance careJuly 18, 2023Providing more veterinary professionals across the U.S. access to standardized radiograph interpretation, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), is the driving force behind a newly announced industry partnership.
Antibody testing critical to Brucella canis detection, treatmentJuly 5, 2023Researchers at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) aims to yield “less prone to false-positive results” with new diagnostic test.
Galápagos: Diagnostics in the fieldJune 7, 2023With a permit from the Galápagos National Park (PNG) and the support of the Galápagos Science Center (GSC), a small NC State College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM)/University of North Carolina (UNC) Chapel Hill-led team completed a two-day health assessment of 28 green turtles (Chelonia mydas) and a single hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata).
VPN Plus+ ExclusiveA detailed look at ultrasound and vision – Part 2May 25, 2023Evaluate the cost of missing the lesion with respect to your patient, your pet owner client, your time, your team’s time, your image and report footprint, your reputation, and most of all how the cost of missing a lesion ultimately affects your art of veterinary medicine that you and your team have so painstakingly dedicated yourselves to all these years. Then look at these steps and knock off this checklist when looking at machines.
VPN Plus+ ExclusiveA detailed look at ultrasound and vision – Part 1March 9, 2023The consistently best results for your practice depend on your ability to thoroughly investigate key issues surrounding the ultrasound machine, those who drive it, and those who indirectly utilize it. Rapid selection of an ultrasound machine, or one given to you in a lab deal without thorough investigation, more often than not leads to suboptimal utilization and frustration in your clinical sonography curve and implementation. It may even result in machine quiescence in practice.
Tips on clinical sonography to improve the practiceJanuary 24, 2023Today’s technology offers a vast array of image quality advancements, workflows, and techniques. These machines have competitive factors that play a role in any ultrasound implementation on any given patient. Moreover, ultrasound has become extremely available in clinics.

How the helium crisis impacts vet medicineDecember 6, 2022When asked about the challenges facing the veterinary industry, few people will jump straight to a helium shortage. Industrially, helium is primarily used in cryogenics, cooling down machinery to allow proper usage. This includes high-field MRI machines, used throughout the veterinary industry to detect causes of foreign bodies, seizures, spinal pain, and behavioral changes in companion animals. These machines use liquid helium to cool the super-conducting magnet, which creates the strong magnetic field strength required for clarity and consistency while imaging.
