SCIENTIFIC COMMEETTEE Dear colleagues, I am really pleased to introduce next international meeting SCIVAC 2012. This year, the congress will be hosted in the wonderful new Congress Hall, an ideal place where any veterinarian will have the opportunity to spend a full three-day program of great continuing education. So many appointments not to be missed – over fifty worldwide experts will cover all veterinary specialties offering lectures of different level, from general overviews to advanced workshops. Simultaneous translation into English will be provided.

Beyond the excellent scientific program, SCIVAC and Rimini offer an unique social program, combining the evening atmosphere on the beach with the best Italian flavours.

Don’t forget the deadline for the early subscription… 30th April 2012.

ADVACED SESSION CARDIOLOGY FRIDAY, JUNE 8th 2012 Time: 2.20 pm-5.00 pm - Sala Del Parco How should we treat asymptomatic heart disease in cats?

Speakers: Virginia Lluis-Fuentes (UK) Chairman: Marco Poggi (I) Language: English - Number of partecipants: 30 Fee: Up to April 30th € 65,00 From May 1st to May 20th € 95,00 Feline cardiomyopathy is very common but very variable in severity, ranging from mild subclinical disease to life-threatening heart failure or thromboembolism. One of the most difficult challenges in managing feline heart disease is the ‘all-or-nothing’ nature of their clinical signs, as it is often too late to achieve a lasting successful outcome once signs are manifested. How can we prevent at-risk cats from cardiac complications? This session will look at how we can identify cats at risk of heart failure and thromboembolism, and will critically evaluate the available options for reducing risk in these cats.

ORTHOPEDICS

FRIDAY, JUNE 8th 2012 Time: 2.20 pm-5.00 pm - Sala del Ponte

The Complete Management of both dogs and cats with chronic pain and dysfunction with osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal problems? Facts, Frustrations and Follies!

Speaker: Steve Budsberg (USA) Chairman: Filippo Martini (I) Language: English - Number of partecipants: 30 Fee: Up to April 30th € 65,00 From May 1st to May 20th € 95,00 The Complete Management of both dogs and cats with chronic pain and dysfunction with osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal problems? Facts, Frustrations and Follies! This presentation will include information on all aspects of how we treat patients with chronic pain and dysfunction with osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal problems. Specifically, it will include thoughts and data on diagnosis (such as differences between dogs and cats, or differences between an acute painful flare vs a continued chronic situation); How we address the expectations of therapies with the owners; What owners can expect from the treatment methods and what we actually know (have clinical data) about some of the myriad of treatments we recommend. The presentation will also discuss those cases that are non-responders and how we approach these most difficult cases.

BEHAVIOUR

FRIDAY, JUNE 8th 2012 Time: 2.20 pm-5.00 pm - Sala del Lavatoio

CANINA-MENTE: cane/uomo, emozioni a confronto Speakers: Maurizio Martucci, Psicologo-Psicoterapeuta e Attilio Miconi, Istruttore Cinofilo Chairman: Franco Fassola (I) Langauge: Italian without translation Number of partucipants: 30 Fee: Up to April 30th € 65,00 From May 1st to May 20th € 95,00 Un’esperienza tra le emozioni del cane e dell’essere umano.

I relatori ci guideranno verso l’allineamento emozionale tra le due specie… vivere le sensazioni che prova il cane sulla nostra “pelle” è importante per comprenderci meglio.

Il linguaggio del corpo, la distanza sociale, la bolla prossemica, la cinetica, la prattognosi… un’esperienza che consentirà un approccio consapevole ed etologicamente corretto con il non umano.

Diseases of the pleural space Speakers: Lynelle Johnson (USA), Davide De Lorenzi (I) Chairman: Federico Fracassi Language: English - Numero partecipanti: 30 Fee: Up to April 30th € 65,00 From May 1st to May 20th € 95,00 Normally, the pleural space contains no air and only a few milliliters of pleural fluid. Pleural effusion and pneumothorax are typically a secondary phenomenon; therefore recognition of these conditions is not analogous to diagnosis of a dog or cat’s underlying condition and determining the underlying etiology is key to appropriate managing. Observation and auscultation of the dyspnoeic patient with pleural space diseases is usually sufficient to localize the problem and imaging confirms both pleural effusion and pneumothorax; in case of pleural effusion, properties of the fluid may be diagnostic in some cases but often enough the relationship between fluid characteristics and the underlying pathophysiological process is less well defined and there is often overlap between fluid type and etiology. This workshop outlines the practical approach to pleural space diseases focusing on early recognition, imaging confirmation, stabilization of the patient and logical diagnostic investigation to determine the underlying etiology.

Advanced liver imaging Speakers: Gabriela Seiler (USA) Chairman: Federica Rossi Language: English Number of partecipants: 30 Fee: Up to April 30th € 65,00 From May 1st to May 20th € 95,00 Several hepatic disorders are found in dogs and cats and cause focal, multifocal, or diffuse parenchymal alterations. Although some of these disorders have characteristic diagnostic imaging features, most changes are not pathognomonic of one particular process. A more definitive diagnosis is usually based on the combination of different diagnostic imaging modalities combined with cytological and histophatological results. The author will discuss the parameter used to choose witch modalities will be more costeffective to arrive at the right diagnosis.

Management of patients with respiratory distress Management of patients with a metabolic problem Speaker: Nuno Manuel Felix (P) Chairman: Fabio Viganò (I) Language: English Number of participants: 30 Fee: Up to April 30th € 65,00 From May 1st to May 20th € 95,00 “Management of patients with respiratory distress”: A myriad of diseases can be complicated by respiratory distress.

Oltre la biopsia e l’esame istologico: quale indagine diagnostica per quale malattia?

Speaker: Chiara Brachelente (I) Chairman: Silvia Colombo Language: Italian without translation Number of participants: 30 Fee: Up to April 30th € 65,00 From May 1st to May 20th € 95,00 Una delle indagini diagnostiche maggiormente utilizzate è l’esame istopatologico e l’interazione tra il clinico ed il patologo è di fondamentale importanza per emettere una diagnosi corretta.

Il medico veterinario clinico, posto di fronte ad un caso dermatologico complesso, dovrebbe essere in grado di sapere come prelevare e fissare il campione bioptico, allo scopo di facilitare il lavoro del patologo, in base alle diagnosi differenziali.

Verranno discusse le tecniche diagnostiche applicabili ai campioni fissati in formalina, come le colorazioni speciali, l’immunoistochimica, la PCR e la microscopia elettronica, e le tecniche che richiedono invece campioni freschi, come gli esami colturali, il Western blot o alcune particolari indagini immunoistochimiche o di PCR.

FRIDAY, JUNE 8th 2012 Time: 2.20 pm-5.00 pm - Sala del Borgo

Endoscopia Enrico Bottero (I), Davide De Lorenzi (I) Instructors: Diana Bertoncello (I), Roberta Caccamo (I) Language: Italian without translation Number of participants: 16 Fee: Up to April 30th € 100,00 From May 1st to May 20th € 140,00 L’endoscopia rappresenta una tecnica di ispezione strumentale sempre più diffusa nella pratica clinica veterinaria; questo esame permette infatti di ispezionare aree dell’organismo non diversamente accessibili consentendo, nel contempo, di eseguire procedure bioptiche che sono fondamentali per il conseguimento della diagnosi. Oltre a questo, l’endoscopio rende possibili procedure interventistiche semplici o complesse con un minimo impatto sul paziente, diminuendo il disagio post-operatorio ed i rischi collegati a procedure più invasive. Questo workshop ha lo scopo di introdurre il medico veterinario nel mondo dell’endoscopia permettendogli di familiarizzare con i vari strumenti impiegabili a seconda delle diverse necessità diagnostiche e di eseguire in prima persona procedure semplici e più complesse grazie alle attrezzature messe a disposizione dei partecipanti.

La valutazione diretta del campione, seguita dall’interpretazione guidata da parte dei relatori, permetterà ad ogni partecipante di misurare la propria conoscenza della materia, ma soprattutto di usufruire della grande esperienza dei relatori per capire ed approfondire le insidie interpretative. L’associazione di un relatore citologo e di un relatore dermatologo è finalizzata ad avere una visione, la più ampia possibile, dei vantaggi e/o svantaggi dell’esame citologico in corso di lesioni cutanee. Ultimo, ma non meno importante, obiettivo del workshop è la corretta refertazione dell’esame citologico, una parte fondamentale e spesso sottovalutata del lavoro del citologo.
