. The honorary patron of the Meetings was the President of the Republic of

Symposium was
organised as a part of the activities of CL Davis Foundation by
prof. Dr. A Williams from the Royal Veterinary College in UK with the
cooperation of the Organising Committee from Olsztyn. Ten workshop lectures were
presented concerning present problems in veterinary medicine. They were given by
the outstanding specialists like prof.: M. Suter (Switzerland), D. Taylor (UK),
H.L. Shivaprasad (USA), R. Feinstein (Sweden). They touched on the topics of
pathology of skin diseases, alimentary tract in pigs, birds and laboratory
animals. Polish lecturers were represented by – prof. Dr. hab. A.K. Siwicki
(“Comparative immunopathology – actual aspects”) and Dr. K. Bardadin M.D,
Ph.D. (Stem cells and their role in regenerative processes of the liver). On
Continuing Education Day was
the day of clinical pathology – science concerning examination of the live
organs and tissues with the use of biopsy and organism liquids analysis. There
were 7 lectures concerning among others: diagnosis of parasites in the blood
cells (prof. H. Brun-Hansen – Norway, prof. S. Harrus - Israel), thrombocytes
analysis (Dr. J. Pastor - Spain), internal organs cytology (Dr. A.
Lanevschi-Pietersma - Netherlands) and cytopathology (prof. M. Christopher -
USA). 22nd
Congress of the European Society of Veterinary Pathology (ESVP) and 6th Congress
of the European Society of Veterinary Clinical Pathology (ESVCP) presented
a modern view on the widely understood veterinary pathology, which still plays
an important role in veterinary sciences. They showed real care about the live organism: great number of studies
on immunopathology, session on pathologically engineered animals (prepared and
conducted by prof. Achim Gruber – Germany), workshops on reproductive tract
pathology conducted by prof. Donald Schlafer from Cornell University - USA) and
selected cases of the clinical pathology (conducted - prof. Joy Archer, UK).
They also underlined the necessity of cooperation between pathomorphologists and
clinical pathologists. This form of activity was enriched (for the first time)
by the participation of the scientists working on regular morphology (anatomy
and histology). Results of the
meetings: almost
1000 scientists presented their
studies during 26 lectures, there were also 51 oral presentations, 183 poster
presentations, 41 reviewed original articles,two workshops presenting a great
number of cases. The abstracts of the presentations and lectures were edited in
the book “Pathology in Nowadays” by J. Babińska, J. Szarek and J. Lipińska.
Original articles were printed in the Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences
(2004, supplement vol. 7, nr 3). There is also CD-room with all Congresses and
Meetings materials (available through
the authors). New
members (86) were accepted by ESVP in Olsztyn, there were 3 representatives from
Poland: dr Izabella Babińska, vet. surg. Joanna Lipińska and prof. dr
hab. Krzysztof Siwicki – all from UWM in Olsztyn (information regarding the
