Does your dermatology classifier know what it doesn't know? Detecting the long-tail of unseen conditions.

Supervised deep learning models have proven to be highly effective in classification of dermatological conditions. These models rely on the availability of abundant labeled training examples. However, in the real-world, many dermatological conditions are individually too infrequent for per-condition classification with supervised learning.

Validation and Clinical Applicability of Whole-Volume Automated Segmentation of Optical Coherence Tomography in Retinal Disease Using Deep Learning.

Importance: Quantitative volumetric measures of retinal disease in optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans are infeasible to perform owing to the time required for manual grading. Expert-level deep learning systems for automatic OCT segmentation have recently been developed. However, the potential clinical applicability of these systems is largely unknown.

Hematologic and serum biochemistry reference values in wild-caught white-footed tamarins (Saguinus leucopus) housed in captivity.

The white-footed tamarin (Saguinus leucopus) is an endangered primate that lives in a small forest corridor in northern Colombia, South America. Hematologic and serum biochemistry reference values are important tools in evaluating the health of the white-footed tamarin and serve to promote the survival of this species. The purpose of this study was to establish diagnostically important hematologic and serum biochemistry reference values for healthy white-footed tamarins and to determine whether there was significant variation with respect to age class (juveniles, adults), gender, and housing facility.

Teaching as a first, second, or third language.

The 2005 National Carl J. Norden/Pfizer Distinguished Teaching Award may bear my name, but clearly it is shared recognition for the institutions, numerous individuals, and varied professional experiences that inspired and influenced a veterinarian who became a teacher whom students seemed to value. My education, practice experience, exposure to some superb educators, and feedback from students have provided a diverse background of knowledge and experiences that have allowed me to adapt to teaching opportunities in courses other than clinical pathology and to develop my own style of instruction, teaching philosophy, and examination strategies and formats.

Diagnosis and successful treatment of Cryptococcus neoformans variety grubii in a domestic ferret.

A domestic ferret was presented for episodic regurgitation. Cytologic examination and culture of an enlarged submandibular lymph node revealed Cryptococcus neoformans variety grubii (serotype A). The ferret was successfully treated with itraconazole.
