| Course description |
| Based on the morphologic features of normal animals learned in the practice of animal anatomy, cultivate the ability to understand the tissue pathology on characteristic lesions that appear in organs and tissues in various diseases of companion animals and livestock, which are learned in Animal Special Pathology (A), as well as cultivating the observation ability to interpret the pathological condition at the individual level. In addition to gross observation of the lesions of organs and tissues of industrial animals detected at a meat inspection laboratory, learn practically how to conduct autopsy and observe pathological changes appeared in various organs throughout the body. By means of the practice in gross and histological pathology, cultivate comprehensive diagnostic ability of diseases. This subject is a course subject by a teacher with practical experience. In charge of toxicology, the instructor has experience in pathological diagnosis in toxicity tests, and gives lectures with examples of lesions in class. |

| Prerequisites |
| The students should have taken courses on veterinary anatomy, veterinary histology, veterinary physiology, veterinary biochemistry, veterinary microbiology, immunology, and general veterinary pathology. In addition to the practice time, refer to the training materials, textbooks, reference books, etc. that have been distributed, and do post-study to complete the sketch. |
| Required Text(s) and Materials |
| Use Animal Special Pathology (3rd Edition), Color Atlas of Animal Pathology (2nd Edition), both being edited by Japanese Society of Veterinary Pathology as textbooks. Powerpoint documents will also be handed out. |
| References |
| Veterinary Pathology Practice Manual, 2nd Edition. In addition, Pathologic Basis of Veterinary Disease (James F. Zachary ed., 6th edition, published by Elsevier), Pathology of Domestic Animals (Grant Maxie ed., 6th edition, published by Elsevier), Tumors in Domestic Animals (Donald J. Meuten ed., 6th edition, published by Wiley Blackwell) is a good reference for promoting professional understanding, as it has detailed commentary and abundant photographs and illustrations. |
| Assessment/Grading |
|
More than 80% of the attendance to the practice of the 1st and 14th times in each semester is prerequisite for the assessment. Degree of activeness in the class, submission of reports (sketch), and tests for histopathological diagnosis using projected pathological images will constitute 20%, 40%, and 40% of your final grade, respectively. The percentage of points, evaluation points, and timing of evaluation are as follows. Normal score 20%: Evaluation of attitude and aggressiveness toward practical training. Report (sketch) 40%: Evaluation of the level of understanding of pathological changes based on the report (sketch) submitted after the 15th practical session. Pathological diagnosis examination 40%: In the 15th lecture, a pathological diagnosis examination will be conducted by projecting images of lesions on the cases practiced from the 1st to the 14th lecture, to comprehensively evaluate whether pathological findings and pathological diagnosis can be correctly derived. |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| Students should have studied well the contents in anatomy and histology classes at the 2nd grade, because knowledge of these courses is indispensable to them for conducting pathological diagnosis. They will use a textbook of Systemic Animal Pathology and also Color Atlas of Animal Pathology, both of which cover the contents in on-the-job pathological program. |
