Did you know that pathology diagnostics through a smartphone is a thing?Really and officially! It is called static telecytology and a lot has already been published on it (see RESOURCES BELOW). This episode's guest, Dr. Kate Baker, a veterinary clinical pathologist, developed a smartphone app for veterinary telecytology! This digital pathology smartphone app is called pocket pathologist and let's you get access to a veterinary pathologist opinion remotely. This app was developed for practicing veterinarians who want or need to consult telecytology cases with a board certified pathologist. This technology can be used for other areas of static telepathology including rapid on site evaluation (ROSE) and Dr. Kate is giving us a sneak peek into the app development and how it was for a veterinarian to work with an app development team (and NO, it does not cost a million dollars  ). This great little tool for remote pathology diagnostics is a proof that anyone, regardless of their budget can leverage the power of digital pathology to offer or access better care for their patients. You only need a microscope, a smartphone and smartphone adapter (to save time and take better pictures).

In the world of anatomic digital pathology, the mention of digital cytology usually causes thoughts of all the challenges associated with it. We are often not aware that digital pathology and image analysis applications started with digital hematology and cytology (e.g. image analysis-based pap smear evaluation) and that in veterinary medicine digital cytology is a booming discipline. Today's episode's guest, Dr. Kate Baker, is a board-certified veterinary clinical pathologist who has embraced the digital cytology journey even before she was doing diagnostic work on whole slide images. Her digital pathology journey started with a Facebook group – Veterinary Cytology Coffee House where she started teaching veterinary cytology with static images. The group kept growing and reached sixty-two thousand members in January 2022. Group members kept asking for more digital cytology resources, so she created two RACE-approved courses for veterinary professionals and a monthly membership site – The Cytology Clubhouse. Currently, she does digital cytology on whole slide images in collaboration with a veterinary laboratory – Scopio. Now confident with digital cytology images she remembers that there was a transition period when she needed her glass slides alongside the digital image to feel confident that she is not missing anything. As she experienced how the glass slides and the digital images consistently carry the same diagnostic information, she needed to consult the glass less and less until it was not necessary anymore. The glass vs digital slide comparison is usually part of the digital pathology system validation and giving pathologists some time to adjust to the new modality with access to both digital images and glass slides during the adjustment period helps them gain confidence and be sure that they are still doing the best job possible. Listen to the full episode to learn about Dr. Kate Baker's digital cytology journey and explore her digital cytology educational resources:Veterinary Cytology Facebook group – Veterinary Cytology Coffee House: Cases and Conversations Website with all her veterinary cytology resources – The Veterinary Cytology SchoolhouseThe veterinary cytology membership site – The Cytology ClubhouseAnd check her brilliant educational content on Instagram @clinpathkate. And to gain more insights into the world of digital cytology listen to the podcast episodes below:AI-powered digital diagnostic tools for medical, veterinary, and environmental laboratories w/ Ben Cahoon, Techcyte.A new generation of whole slide scanners: faster, smarter, and more flexible w/ Don VanDyke, Bionovation Other resources:Zuraw, Aleksandra, and Famke Aeffner.

Ground-breaking research in fertilizer techniques from a soil science expert could increase yield for producers. Dr. Jeff Schoenau and a team of colleagues have recently published a soil study  that could change fertilizer techniques and increase crop yields for prairie producers. This new research, conducted using the Canadian Light Source synchrotron at the University of Saskatchewan analyzed the reaction that fertilizers undergo once they hit the soil, and how effective current techniques are in retaining nutrients and micronutrients for plants to use. Schoenau will explain how this can improve a farmers bottom line. Reduced international airline travel, masking, and social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is being credited for a dramatic reduction in Influenza and other respiratory infections this year. Dr. Susan Detmer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Veterinary Pathology with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. She says the number of cases of Influenza did go up slightly during the winter but dropped again, and, for humans, there have been record low numbers. Detmer tells us why this information is important when dealing with infections in the animal population and the concerns it generates. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now, 12 months from the start of this pandemic, vaccines are rolling out. Whether you're eligible in your state or not you may still be wondering if it's the right thing to do, or what to expect.  This episode is nothing but a discussion. It's firsthand recount of participation in a study from an expert with the ability to interpret the science. She's also a mom, wife, sister, daughter who wants the same thing we all want.  My Guest Polly Murphy was trained as a Veterinarian and has a PhD in Veterinary Pathology plus an MBA. She has nearly 30 years in the Biotech/Pharma/Academia world, including working directly with many of the people at Pfizer who worked on the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA vaccine. She retired from Pfizer in August and thus was eligible to be in the Pfizer COVID19 vaccine trial. She’s currently on the Board of Directors of a company that has an oral treatment in clinical studies for COVID19. She does not profit from people getting vaccines. In her words: “Ironically, I would do better financially if people don't get them [vaccines], but what I really want is this to be over, so my finances are irrelevant to the way I think about it. But I do spend many hours each week reading original documents like clinical studies and information from government agencies regarding COVID19. That said, I am NOT a physician and am only stating the logic I give my friends and family. People can do with it what they'd like. I'm making no recommendations.” Questions we cover in this episode: You were in a recent study, so before we dive into this, tell us about it, how you got selected to participate and details about the study. Isn't taking the vaccine risky, since we don't know what the long term side effects are? Why can't I rely on others to get the vaccine to build herd immunity? What would your answer be to a friend, who hypothetically was traveling – without having had the vaccination at this point – to see family members who have been vaccinated? “Just trying to help in whatever way I can for us to get to the other side of this terrible pandemic.” – Polly Murphy Are you asking, Should I get the vaccine? That’s not the question. My guest responds, "The question is do I take this risk on a vaccine with unknown side effects (as all vaccines have) or on a virus that’s known to cause long term cardio myopathy (heart damage), or death?" The news since my conversation with Polly: I had second thoughts about my trip, was able to schedule both doses of my vaccine, and am traveling to a family wedding. I'll mask and shield my eyes before I enter the airport until I'm in my rental car. The right exercise does boost immunity. STRONGER is open for enrollment a few times a year.

Concerns over COVID-19 could result in a higher uptake of flu vaccinations this season. Each year health officials encourage the public to get vaccinated for the seasonal flu. Dr. Susan Detmer, an Associate Professor in the Department of Veterinary Pathology with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, says if you get influenza your defences will weaken making you more vulnerable to COVID-19. Dr. Detmer will tell us why the Vet College is particularly interested in flu vaccinations as it applies to humans and animals. Saskatchewan has just been through a provincial election that saw the governing Saskatchewan Party returned to office with another majority. Agriculture groups actively followed the campaign. They spent a lot of time getting their message out about issues they want the government to address. The Saskatchewan Cattlemen's Association went so far as to contact the political parties with a list of questions that outlined some of their top concerns. SCA CEO Ryder Lee will tell us about what needs attention and says what it comes down to is government doing what it can to improve the competitiveness of cattle producers.

Today we are joined by Dr. Carmen Lau, a Veterinary Pathologist. Carmen details how necropsies are performed, in which the cause of death of an animal is determined by autopsying it and performing subsequent biopsies. On a regular basis, Carmen performs these procedures on animals of all shapes and sizes, and shares many of these stories on the show. She also discusses her path through veterinary school, how she wound up doing veterinary pathology, and her thoughts on the future of the field. Join us for this incredible discussion and be prepared to learn things you never knew you needed to know!

In this segment, Beyond the Scope, we speak to pathologists about their pursuits and interests in and outside of pathology. How is veterinary pathology different from human pathology? What is special about fish kidneys? What's happening with COVID in animals? On this episode of Beyond the Scope, Dr. Sara Jiang (@Sara_Jiang) speaks with Dr. Nicola Parry (@TuftsVetPath), a veterinary pathologist, and Clinical Associate Professor and the head of Pathology at the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine.

DIVIDED WE FALL by Carl Berryman What will the American people do when tyranny and political correctness become the law of the land? Where are the George Washingtons and Benjamin Franklins that we need today? Liberal leftist educators deliberately ignore the tyranny of the increasingly socialist movement of government under the guise of political correctness. What freedoms are we willing to surrender? Who of our youth are willing to serve in the armed forces? Carl Berryman was a retired U.S. Army officer, having served at the service as Lieutenant Colonel. He served 13 tours in over 22 years, including a stint during the Vietnam War. Prior to joining the U.S. Army, Berryman practiced veterinary medicine in Montana after he earned a bachelor’s degree in zoology and a doctor’s degree in veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri. After his military career, Berryman took a master’s degree in Public Health from the University of Minnesota, majoring in zoonoses and infectious diseases, and completed two years of graduate studies in Veterinary Pathology at Texas A&M University. He is a former Diplomat in the American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, where he was responsible for the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Weapons unit in Korea, and a staff officer in Medical Research and Development Command at Fort Detrick in Maryland. https://authorreputationpress.com/product/divided-we-fall/ http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/cberryman2.mp3

This week I look at the 3,000 Golden Retrievers who are on the front line of the fight against cancer, as well as the scientists who are putting on the largest cancer study of its kind.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:  [0:50] Tim introduces his sister  [2:05] The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study [3:45] 60% of Golden Retrievers contract cancer [7:25] The leadership behind the study [10:42] Additional facts about the study [13:06] What is a P.O.L.C. study? [15:43] What was the study looking for? [19:05] The cancers which were looked at [21:28] More details on the Goldens  [36:10] Stats which were not reported, but would be nice to know [47:23] Final thoughts     In this episode… This episode is all about the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. While it was covered briefly in a previous episode (Five Pioneers in Canine Health), this episode will go deeper down the rabbit hole. The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is tracking the health of over 3,000 Golden Retrievers to determine genetic, environmental, and other risk factors that drive higher rates of cancer in Golden Retrievers.   It’s being conducted by the Morris Animal Foundation at Colorado State University. For those not familiar, the Morris Animal Foundation has its roots all the way back to the Great Depression, when a Veterinarian named Dr. Mark Morris noticed a high number of cases of kidney disease in dogs. He discovered that before the Depression, people fed their dogs table scraps - the same food they humans were eating.   When the Depression came around, ever bite of food mattered, so people kept the table scraps for themselves, and fed their dogs dry and canned dog food made with low-quality meat byproducts.   So Dr. Morris created his own dog food designed to treat kidney disease, and the results were effective.  Long story short, Dr. Morris expanded his dog food line over the years and used 0.5% royalty to build a foundation dedicated to science and research in support of animal health. The Foundation was founded in 1948 and remains one of the largest and most highly respected animal health organizations in the world.  It has invested more than $103 million toward 2,500+ studies that have led to significant breakthroughs in diagnostics, treatments, preventions and cures benefitting companion animals, horses, and wildlife worldwide. Now technically, the study falls under the Canine Lifetime Health Project, which is run by the Foundation and matches owners and their dogs with clinical research studies. The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is the first study actually conducted by the Foundation, through this Project.       Leadership involved with the study Tiffany Grunert, who is the President & CEO of Morris Animal Foundation.  She learned about the Foundation when her dog, Chewy, passed away and a friend donated to the Foundation in her honor.  She joined in a marketing capacity and then climbed the ranks to CEO. Perhaps her biggest contribution to the study has been realigning the inner workings of the Foundation to ensure all departments are supporting it.  Thank you, Tiffany! Ryan Welch is the Chief Development Officer, aka the guy responsible for raising money for the Foundation. Ryan joined the Foundation this year in 2019. Even though the study is largely funded, it’s clear he continues to raise not only for the Foundation but for the study itself (Tim himself donated through the website and it was very easy - here’s a link: donate here). Janet Patterson Kane is the Chief Scientific Officer at the Foundation, and given her deep expertise in pathology. Janet was the first woman to be Chair of Veterinary Pathology at the University of Glasgow’s Veterinary School. The next two leaders have been talked about on previous episodes of the Pawcast:  Dr Rodney Page, who is the principal investigator on the study And Missy Simpson, the epidemiologist working on the study design, and doing all the nerdy stuff to crunch the data and make sense of it.   Another notable mention is David Haworth, who was CEO of the Foundation from 2011-2015 and led the Foundation to reach its enrollment targets for the 3,000 Goldens. He has a Golden himself, who should be about 6 if my math is correct. There are certainly many other folks supporting the study now and who have contributed to it over the years, and of course some people are being left out. You can read all about them at Morris Animal Foundation’s GLRS, otherwise this will go on like an Oscar speech and we have 3,000 Goldens to talk about.   Sources: Morris Animal Foundation The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study: establishing an observational cohort study with translational relevance for human health, The Royal Society Population characteristics of golden retriever lifetime study enrollees, Canine Genetics and Epidemiology   You can also hear directly from Dr. Missy Simpson, the Epidemiologist on the study, on the Fresh Scoop Podcast, which is a show put on by the Foundation itself.  Many of these notes here come from that episode.

Pathologists examine organs, tissues, body fluids cells and molecules to look for clues to disease and injuries. Penn Vet does this same work ... but with animals. We look at how veterinary pathology impacts the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health through extensive disease surveillance. Penn Vet's research has direct influence on agricultural systems, animal welfare/law enforcement (which has important ties to human social welfare), as well as "mad-made" ecosystems on wildlife. To learn more on these research contributions, Host Dan Loney talks with Dr. Julie Engiles, an Associate Professor of Pathology at Penn Vet’s New Bolton Center, and is also the Section Head for Avian and Mammalian Pathology for the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System (PADLS) program, on Knowledge@Wharton.
