Veterinary surgery as a precursor of veterinary medicine must have had its origins as early as the prehistory of the Mesolithic. A nascent emotional life resulted in the differentiation of pastoral cultures from the hunters of former times. Curing and healing, also of animals, has become a science today, which is practised professionally and is based on professional knowledge. The marked development of veterinary medicine as a multidisciplinary science involves the risk of the patient's entity being reduced to mere physical problems. Bernard E. Rollin writes about his concern at this reduction in a paper which appeared in J. Am. Vet. Med. Assoc., Vol. 182, No. 2. He arrives at far-reaching conclusions, at any rate where the U.S.A. is concerned. Although the risks of some degree of reduction and a mechanistic approach are not entirely imaginary in the Netherlands, his conclusions cannot be completely accepted by the present author. The paper by fellow veterinarian F. J. van Sluys (in: Tijdschr. Diergeneeskd. 1983; 108: 520-5) presents a view of systems of patient administration on various lines. However, any endeavour to attain efficient brevity in this administration may bring the risk of some form of reduction nearer. This could be avoided in Van Sluys's system by previously printed basic forms in which all aspects of veterinary acts to be discussed in the following are taken into account.

Review
Veterinary surgeons in general practice are frequently presented with injured or orphaned animals by wildlife rescue centres, members of the public or police officers. Following treatment, many of these animals are released to the wild. Despite the large numbers of wildlife casualties rehabilitated in this way there are few published data detailing species, numbers treated, quality of care provided and outcome following release. There is also ongoing debate regarding the welfare and conservation benefits of such human intervention. This article reviews the available published evidence on wildlife rehabilitation and offers recommendations on future policy.

Review
Proper health equipment management requires significant attention to detail. Establishing and following protocols during processing (eg, cleaning and disinfecting equipment at the end of the work day) is required to ensure a safe product that is free of defects and residues. Overall cleanliness of equipment and facilities is important not only from a food safety standpoint but many view these as an overall indicator of attention to detail in the entire production system. Ensuring that needles are changed, implant guns are managed properly, vaccine is handled in an acceptable manner, and that proper chute operation occurs is essential.

Review
This paper presents the main trends in the activity of European veterinary pathologists in the context of their oral presentations (plenary lectures and short presentations) and posters provided during annual meetings of the European Society of Veterinary Pathology (ESVP), in the decade 1997-2006. It was found that the issue that was most often brought up in the meetings was organ pathology (566 presentations). Infectious and parasitical diseases were only slightly less frequent (548 presentations). Oncology was another common issue (404 presentations). During this decade, 52 plenary lectures were presented, 765 oral presentations and 1 072 posters. Altogether, 1 889 presentations were made, which is between 127 and 238 per year. Research by Polish scientists accounted for 3.16% of all presentations. Additionally, the subject matter discussed at the annual meetings is analysed, and the trends in the development of veterinary diagnostic pathology and broad pathology education are indicated. It is shown that veterinary pathology enhances knowledge in the field of veterinary medicine by fulfilling a cognitive and diagnostic role.
