K-State professor publishes book that helps vet students learn about common lab testsKansas A Kansas State University professor is co-author of a book that helps students of veterinary medicine learn about laboratory tests used to evaluate domestic mammals, from cats to cattle. Steven L. Stockham, professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology at K-State, and co-author Michael A. Scott, an assistant professor at Michigan State University, have written a second edition of "Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology" available now from Blackwell Publishing. The book offers information about common clinical laboratory tests that veterinarians use to evaluate domestic mammals like dogs, cats, horses and cattle. Students can learn what the tests measure, conditions that affect results and what those results indicate about the animal's health or illness. The second edition offers students information on additional disorders and includes new images and illustrations.
