Mouse study captures aging process at the cellular level
Cornell University CVM
As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Cornell Engineering researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, unfolds over time and across the complicated architecture of muscle tissue.
AVMA Council on Education requesting comments on distance education by January 13, 2025
AVMA
The AVMA Council on Education® (COE®) is seeking feedback from the veterinary community regarding potential changes to how education can be delivered to students pursuing DVM, VMD, or equivalent degrees at COE-accredited programs. Distance education involves educational delivery through the use of technology to students who are separated from the instructor, and to support regular and substantive interaction between the students and the instructor or instructors, either synchronously or asynchronously. For more information, see the federal definition of distance education here. Based on current federal regulations, allowing distance education in veterinary medical educational programs to any degree would require a substantive change to the scope of recognition for the AVMA COE as a programmatic accreditor recognized by the United States Department of Education. Any potential expansion of scope would require development and federal approval of policies, procedures, and accreditation standards to include evaluation and assessment of veterinary medical education delivered through technology. Consideration of such a change requires broad input from across the veterinary community. The COE is seeking comment and perspectives, regarding the potential use of distance education to deliver education, in whole or in part, to veterinary students seeking a DVM, VMD, or equivalent degree. To comment, fill out and submit this surveyby January 13, 2025.There is a 350-word limit.
Veterinary colleges build educational pipelines to food animal, rural medicine
AVMA
Many rural communities across America responsible for producing the livestock that feed the country need for more food animal and public health veterinarians. Addressing this challenge requires effective strategies for attracting and retaining veterinarians in rural and food animal practices. One major reason boils down to this: Most U.S. veterinary students have their sights set on a career caring for cats, dogs, and other pets—not animals destined to enter the food supply.
A rapid, molecular feline respiratory panel diagnostic is being developed
DVM360
An innovative feline respiratory panel is being developed through a partnership between Alveo Technologies Inc in Alameda, California, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology IZI in Germany. The panel will be designed to simultaneously test for feline influenza, feline calicivirus (FCV) and feline herpes virus-1 (FHV) infections.
Winterizing horses
The Horse
Looking out upon a wintry farmscape it’s common to see equine forms silhouetted against the snow, huddled against the wind. Or, you might glimpse the glow of lights from a barn housing blanketed equine charges. In northern climes winter generally is a time of slowed activity for both horse and rider, but attentiveness to horses’ health and management is just as crucial during these chilly months as it is during the warmer ones.
