December 13 is National Day of the Horse

ACVP Diplomate Dr. Julie Engiles, VMD, DACVP (Penn Vet- New Bolton Center) has a passion for horses that inspired her to pursue a career in equine pathology. Her multidisciplined, collaborative approach to cases that correlates clinical, radiologic and molecular data has advanced understanding of disease pathogenesis, improved diagnostic accuracy and interpretation, and helped identify novel therapies for equine neurologic, gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal disease, including laminitis. Dr. Engiles and her collaborators have helped establish the horse as a relevant large animal model of septic arthritis, degenerative osteoarthritis and repetitive stress injury that translate to humans and other veterinary species. In conjunction with other equine pathologists and regulatory initiatives across the country, her diagnostic efforts help document and diagnose lesions affiliated with catastrophic musculoskeletal injuries and sudden death to help reduce and prevent these incidents in racing and sport horses populations.

Human Rights Day – December 10, 2024

On December 10th, Human Rights Day commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. This landmark document proclaims the inalienable rights all human beings are entitled to, regardless of race, color, religion, s*x, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or any other status. As the American College of Veterinary Pathologists, we stand in solidarity with the global community in supporting human rights for all through sustained awareness, vigilance, and education.
Here are a few meaningful ways we can actively engage in support of human rights:
1. Advocate for Ethical Research: Promote and engage in research practices that respect the rights and welfare of humans, animals and the environment.
2. Embrace Diversity and Inclusion: Foster an inclusive culture in our workplaces and research settings, where individuals from all backgrounds are welcomed, respected and valued.
3. Educate Ourselves and Others: Stay informed about human rights issues and educate others within our community about the importance of human rights advocacy.
4. Engage in Community Service: Volunteer with or support organizations that work to protect human rights locally and globally.
Let’s continue to use our expertise and compassion to make a positive impact on both animal and human lives. Together, we can build a more just and equitable world for all.

Events like these not only allow the ACVP to promote the core values of the college, including building a community of practice and diversity of thought, but also allow the members to influence the future direction of the college, through fostering inter-member communication, establishing a welcoming and safe space for all, and supporting local communities. The DEI Committee is immensely grateful to the many committee members who made these events successful, and looks forward to welcoming a new group of passionate and enthusiastic members to the committee next year, so that this important and meaningful work can continue onwards.

The second event was an outreach-focused event, in collaboration with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. During this event, high school students in advanced STEM programs were invited to the conference, where they met with pathologists representing several different career paths, including roles in academia, diagnostics, toxocologic pathology, zoo and wildlife, comparative pathology, clinical pathology, and government. During this event, students met individually with pathologists to discuss their roles, and explain various topics of pathology, with the aid of gross specimens, glass slides, and online resources. Students were also given a tour of the poster hall at the end of their time with the pathologists. The students were very engaged throughout the experience, with many expressing a new interest in pathology, and even one student stating that though she had never considered being a veterinarian before, she now wants to pursue this career for her future!

The ACVP Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee was thrilled to be involved in the organization and hosting of two events at that 2024 Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington. The first event took place during the Annual Meeting Welcome Reception, where the committee raffled off items from local women, q***r, or BIPOC-owned businesses, and provided more information for interested members to visit these shops during their stay in Seattle. In order to receive a raffle ticket, members were asked to share their thoughts for what topics they would like the DEI Committee to address in future events. The outcome of these shared thoughts led to many fruitful discussions and collaborative efforts with other ACVP Committees to address these ideas, and ensure all members felt heard and catered to, making for a more safe, accepting, and inclusive college overall.

Avian influenza A(H5N1) has circulated among wild and domestic bird flocks for 30 years, but public health experts have become concerned by how the virus is now spreading from one mammal species to another. In a recent multi-institutional study published in Nature (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07849-4), veterinary pathologists played an integral role in investigations that ultimately showed how efficiently the virus has spread among cows, as well as from cows to other animals, including cats and a raccoon. For Erin Edwards, DVM, MS, DACVP, a veterinary pathologist at TVMDL, “the most striking and unexpected pathological finding in these cattle was the targeted necrosis of the mammary gland. These cattle were primarily presenting with a drop in milk production. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) was not on anybody’s radar at that point, and these cattle did not show neurological signs as seen in most other HPAI-infected mammals. It might have taken us longer to figure it out had the birds not started dying on the dairies.”

Can you identify what’s wrong with this image?
This is a hypothetical example of a pathology error which misdiagnoses a common laboratory finding of water artifact as a potential infection. Errors, omissions, or “false claims” in pathology data such as this are encountered in many scientific journals, especially those that do not routinely include pathologists in their peer review process. The ACVP Advocacy and Policy Committee and Board of Directors have therefore developed a web submission portal (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ACVP_Errors) that will allow professionals with advanced pathology training to report concerns on substantiative errors in publications.

We need your help!

When you come across a pathology error published in a scientific journal, please take 5-10 minutes to fill out the anonymous survey on the ACVP Errors in Publication web submission portal. The information gathered from submissions to this web portal will be collated and used to compile the data needed to develop and promote publication standards and review procedures to improve the accuracy of published pathology data. Any data obtained will be maintained strictly in anonymous form and will greatly benefit the advancement of this initiative and overall scientific community.

**NEW MEMBER APPRECIATION CONTENT** ACVP would like to appreciate members in all facets of their work. If you or any members you know have work that correlates with an upcoming recognized holiday, please reach out to [email protected] Happy National Fossil Day! ACVP Diplomate Dr. Betsy Uhl, DVM, PhD, DACVP (University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine), has a love of bones that has led her to collaborating in Paleopathology and advocating for the inclusion of veterinary pathologists on publications in this field. Pictured is an Oredont skull with post mortem trauma - it was likely damaged during collection. Oreodonts, (now Merycoidodontoidae), have been described as 'ruminating hogs’ because of their size and shape, although they are more closely related to camelids. They were a superfamily of prehistoric cud-chewing artiodactyls that evolved in North America after the expansion of grasslands at the end of the Eocene first appearing around 48 million years ago. They went extinct around 4 million years ago when the climate cooled.

On June 19th, we celebrate Juneteenth, the commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. On that day in 1865, Union soldiers arrived in the coastal city of Galveston, Texas, to deliver General Order No. 3, officially ending slavery in the state. This was two and half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation which was difficult to enforce in some states lacking a strong Union presence. In the summer of 2021, President Joe Biden signed into law the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, recognizing June 19 as a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans.

"My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together."
- Desmond Tutu

Celebrations will be held around the country including community gatherings, readings of the Emancipation Proclamation, church services, and speaker series. You can also show your support by ordering food from black-owned restaurants or getting involved in a community event. Many states and cities list planned celebrations that are easy to find with Google search, and here are few examples for those in Ohio and Texas, Oregon, Washington D.C. and New York. Livestreaming of events such as those offered by the Smithsonian are also available in the month of June. If you are interested in cooking, you can check out this podcast about a cookbook that honors Juneteenth, and other Black celebrations.

Together, let us honor the legacy of Juneteenth and foster a future where freedom and equality prevail.
