John Lewis, former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Veterinary Dentistry, interviews Dr. Colin Harvey.

The official podcast of the Journal of Veterinary Dentistry, "Veterinary Dentistry Matters," provides interviews with those who influenced the specialty during its inception and with those who continue to affect its trajectory. In addition to interviews with our specialist colleagues, the podcast will be an opportunity to discuss specific authors' manuscripts in further detail and popular topics as they arise.

In this podcast, Associate Editor Denise Bounous discusses the February 2017 Special Issue with guest editors Adam Aulbach, Holly Jordan, and Jacqueline Tarrant. The editors discuss Contemporary and Emerging Applications in Clinical Pathology and provide information on the articles in the issue.

In this podcast, Dr. Sydney Mukaratirwa discusses this study which was conducted to characterize lung microscopic lesions in control beagle dogs from inhalation and oral gavage toxicity studies, to determine differences associated with the route of administration, and to discuss distinguishing features from compound-induced lung lesions.

In this Toxicologic Pathology podcast, Stacey L. Fossey interviews author Peter Hall on his article "Femoral Head Growth Plate Dysplasia and Fracture in Juvenile Rabbits Induced by Off-target Antiangiogenic Treatment." Epiphyseal growth plate dysplasia (chondrodysplasia) might be considered as the pathognomonic feature of antiangiogenic treatment in preclinical species as it is reliably and dose-responsively induced in rodents and monkeys with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor inhibitors, matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors, and vascular targeting agents. The article suggests that the high prevalence of growth plate fracture in the rabbit may represent a potential additional adverse risk to those already established for children treated with antiangiogenic therapy.

The AAFP Guidelines for the Management of Feline Hyperthyroidism (FHT) help primary clinicians answer common questions and suggest when referral may benefit the feline patient. The Guidelines shed light on FHT as a disease and also dispel myths surrounding certain aspects of FHT by replacing them with evidence-based narrative veterinary professionals can directly apply to feline patients and their owners. Listen to Dr. Margie Scherk interview Dr. Hazel Carney about her work on the FHT Guidelines.

ISFM Consensus Guidelines on the Diagnosis and Management of Feline Chronic Kidney Disease: Jennie Atkinson from SAGE talks to Dr Andy Sparkes about the ISFM Consensus Guidelines for Feline Chronic Kidney Disease. Posted: March 2016

This podcast, with Dr. James D Fikes, from Biogen, focuses on the Guidance on the GLP Requirements for Peer Review of Histopathology (guidance # 16) published on September 26, 2014 by the Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This guidance represents the first such guidance specifically on the process of Peer Review, which is a widely used tool to assure objectivity and accuracy of histopathology data by submitting it to peer analysis and discussion, before becoming official. This guideline is binding for regulatory filings in Europe and is expected to influence practices of other regulatory agencies. The Society of Toxicology Pathology, through its Scientific and Regulatory Committee, undertook a thorough analysis and provided further interpretation of this guideline in order to assist toxicologic pathologists and other scientists interested in the development of medicines, so that the guidance is better implemented in a unified fashion. This guidance clarifies some concepts, such as what is raw data in pathology contributions, and also defines the practices necessary to make this whole process officially acceptable. Dr. Fikes, as the principal author of the publication, represents the Committee’s thinking, and further discusses the impact that this guidance may have outside the OECD countries.
