Dear colleagues
It gives us great pleasure to announce that the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology has generously decided that from now on, 6 Latin Comparative Pathology Group (LCPG) diagnostic exercises (DE) will be published in every issue of the journal (18 a year). This is double the number of 3 DE per issue that the journal has been publishing for several years. Thank you Br J Vet Path!
This decision was mainly based on the large number of excellent diagnostic exercises that the LCPG has been receiving, all of which were published on line in the Davis-Thompson Foundation (DTF) website, but only a few were published in the BJVP.
We hope that this new initiative will encourage more colleagues from all over the world to prepare and submit DEs.
Please do not hesitate to contact our Editor in Chief, Dr Claudio Barros (claudiobarros1945@gmail.com) if you have any questions about the DEs.
As a reminder, the DEs are an initiative of the LCPG, the Latin American subdivision of the DTF. These exercises are contributed by members and non-members of the LCPG or DTF, from any country. Cases do not have to be something unusual, and all sub-specialties of pathology are welcome! Previous cases and instructions for preparation and submission of DEs are available online at the Davis Thompson Foundation website and in the member’s section of the AAVLD website. Selected cases (now 18 a year!!!) are also published in each number of the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology; if a case is selected for the latter, the authors will be contacted to request authorization before the DE is transferred to the B J Vet Path.
Looking forward to be inundated with DEs submissions!!!
Warm regards
Claudio Barros, Editor in Chief DEs
Francisco Carvallo, President LCPG
Paco Uzal, President-elect LCPG
