Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Large animal internal medicine is a branch of veterinary medicine concerned with the study, care, and treatment of medical diseases in large animals such as horses and ruminants. Large animal internal medicine includes a wide variety of specialistic branches, such as gastroenterology, pneumology, nephrology, endocrinology, cardiology, infectious and parasitic diseases, oncology, clinical nutrition, and behavioral medicine. In recent years, the standard of care has evolved, new diagnostic tools have been developed, and treatment recommendations have been updated for large animals.
The aim for this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the current knowledge on disease pathophysiology and standards of care through review articles, as well as novel research studies showing recent advances in this field. Papers in the form of case reports with literature reviews are also welcome.
Based on your expertise in this field, we believe that you could effectively contribute to the success of this Special Issue. We hope that this collection can provide state-of-the-art knowledge, including diagnostic and management recommendations, combined with the most recent research advances in the most important areas of large animal internal medicine.
Prof. Dr. Domenico Caivano
