Clinical gastroenterology: Presentation is everything (Proceedings)

Although the combination of hypoalbuminemia and hypoglobulinemia is "textbook" for a protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), it should be noted that a normal, or even elevated globulin level should never be the only reason to take PLE off a list of differentials that was generated by a history and physical examination.

Controlling internal parasites in cattle (Proceedings)

Although we have known the importance of internal parasites in cattle for many years, we still face an endless battle to control these organisms. Parasites are the ultimate "survivor". Parasites realize that their survival is dependent on not killing their host. As a result, they have adapted as their hosts (cattle) are exposed to different management practices (including parasiticide products and pasture management practices).
