Equine Techniques vs Human Heart

Content: 54 techniques used in equine practice, 269 photos and diagrams, 37 movies. Universal for iPad (full screen version), iPhone and iPod touch. This App is intended for Veterinary Professionals, including Veterinarians, Veterinary Students, Veterinary Nurses and Veterinary Technicians. This App has been developed by Dr Kevin Corley DACVIM DACVECC, co-editor of the book ‘The Equine Hospital Manual’ used in veterinary hospitals throughout the world. It provides an essential resource for practitioners, students, residents and specialists alike. The App provides step-by-step instructions for 54 clinical techniques. For each, there is an equipment list, full instructions on how to perform the technique illustrated by photos, diagrams or videos. The techniques range from simple procedures such as over-the–wire catheter placement and regional limb perfusion, to more advanced techniques such as neck articular facet injection and cardiac output measurement by lithium dilution. Essential emergency techniques such as CPR (both adults and foals), evacuation of pneumothorax, tracheotomy and administration of blood transfusions are also included. The App represents excellent value for money and is a “must have” resource for all involved in equine practice. All of the pictures, movies and text are on the phone or iPad and no internet connection is required after the first use. The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) also offer this App free to their members as part of their membership benefits package.

The human augmented reality heart is a unique application designed to support and enhance the learning of the structure and function of the heart as part of the Open University modules, or as a stand-alone app. The app consists of an anatomically accurate heart which can be viewed in three dimensions, in cross section and also as a ‘zoomed in’ virtual exploration. The app has a range of functions to help develop the learning and understanding of how the heart beats and the cardiac cycle. By selecting ‘Show pins’ all the major anatomical structures of the human heart are identified and selecting a pin provides the name and description. There is the option to show the blood flow through the heart. All the options are available as a stationary or beating heart, the rate of which can be fully adjusted aiding the understanding of the mechanical events of the heartbeat. The app will help students at all educational levels to develop and extend their knowledge and understanding of the heartbeat.
