Research Advances in Animal Pathophysiology
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the mechanisms and processes that lead to disease development (pathogenesis) is essential for interpreting its signs and arriving at appropriate diagnoses, prognoses, preventive measures, and treatments. Analyzing pathogenesis requires knowing how physiological processes are affected in the diseased animal and how this alteration is the basis for overcoming homeostatic capacity and the resulting morbid process. This Topic will accept papers that aim to increase knowledge about the functional alterations that occur in diseases and how these changes generate macroscopic and microscopic lesions and various signs. Studies conducted using experimental laboratory models and in domestic and wild animals will be accepted. Papers analyzing infectious, metabolic, nutritional, degenerative, neoplastic, and other diseases will also be included. In vitro trials and studies that do not clearly demonstrate that the study is based on the pathophysiology of the disease will not be accepted.
