Analyses and Statistical Significance
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: George E. Moore, DVM, PhD
Description: This presentation discusses data types, hypothesis testing, statistical methods and understanding p-values in biomedical literature.
Ascarids of Dog and Cats
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Joe Camp, PhD
Description: Ascarids are among the most common parasites seen in dogs and cats, especially in puppies and kittens. This presentation presents basic life cycle information as well as clinical aspects of infection, diagnosis, treatment and control and any potential human public health concerns for the ascarids of canids and felids.
Clinical Applications of Antiparasitic Drugs – Part I The Avermectins
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Pete Bill, DVM
Description: This presentation introduces the concepts related to the largest class of antiparasitic drugs, the avermectins. In addition to reviewing the mechanisms of action, the mechanism of toxicity, and applications of this drug class, the presentation also discusses the proposed mechanisms by which resistance to antiparasitic drugs occurs and the roles veterinary professionals and the public can play in reducing development of this resistance
Critiquing Scientific Literature (or) How to Study a Study
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: George E. Moore, DVM, PhD
Description: This presentation discusses the importance and impact of study design, systematic error, random error, and confounding on research findings.
Hookworms, Threadworms, Whipworms and Capillarids of Dogs and Cats
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Joe Camp, PhD
Description: This presentation includes several different groups of nematodes that are not closely related from a taxonomic standpoint. Hence, the presentation is more of a matter of convenient grouping of worms that reside in the intestines as adults. Capillarid worms can be found in several organ systems in dogs and cats. Hence, there is more variety of location of the adult worms than is seen for adult ascarids in dogs and cats. The capillarids do share common features of the eggs in that they have bipolar plugs that are off-center. The eggs often have netted, pitted or rough outer shells. This presentation presents basic life cycle information as well as clinical aspects of infection, diagnosis, treatment and control and any potential human public health concerns for the common hookworms, threadworms, whipworms and capillarids of canids and felids.
Phylum Apicomplexa: Cocidia & Cryptosporidia of Dogs & Cats
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Joe Camp, PhD
Description: Examine Phylum Apicomplexa including cocidia and cryptosporidia of dogs & cats and thoughts on failure of treatment, real or perceived.
Phylum Apicomplexa: Toxoplasma Gondii & Neospora Caninum
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Joe Camp, PhD
Description: Examine two protozoan parasites Phylum Apicomplexa: Toxoplasma Gondii & Neospora Caninum. Discuss treatment and control.
Phylum Platyhelminthes: Cestodes or Tapeworms
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Joe Camp, PhD
Description: Examine tapeworms that are important to small animals such as dogs or cats. Discuss features, life cycles, morphology, clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment.
Protozoa: Flagellates of Dogs & Cats
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Joe Camp, PhD
Description: Examine features of flagellates including: morphology, cysts, epidemiology, clinical signs, pathology/pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, control and public health.
Trematodes of Dogs and Cats
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Joe Camp, PhD
Description: Although not seen as commonly in dogs and cats as the nematodes, trematodes are seen by practitioners and can cause significant disease, especially if they are misdiagnosed. This presentation presents basic life cycle information as well as clinical aspects of infection, diagnosis, treatment and control and any potential human public health concerns for the trematodes of canids and felids.
Understanding How Drugs Work: Factors that Affect Absorption
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Pete Bill
Description: This module discusses the mechanisms by which orally administered medications or drugs administered by injection enter the body. This module also explains how changes in normal physiology can result in an abnormally increased or decreased amount of drug being absorbed into systemic circulation.
Understanding How Drugs Work: Factors that Affect Excretion
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Pete Bill
Description: This module discusses the mechanisms by which drugs are eliminated by the liver and the kidney. This module also explains how changes in normal physiology can result in more rapid or slower excretion of drugs and how the elimination half-life can help predict the concentrations of drugs as they are eliminated.
Understanding Study Designs
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: George E. Moore, DVM, PhD
Description: This presentation discusses the types of study design, and the different design strengths and weaknesses.
