Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made significant advancement in various industries, and veterinary medicine is no exception. With the ability to process vast amounts of data and learn from it, AI has the potential to revolutionize animal care. From diagnosis treatment to research and education, AI is transforming the field of veterinary medicine in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago.
One of the key areas where AI is making a significant impact is in the diagnosis and treatment of animals. Traditionally, veterinarians rely on their experience and knowledge to diagnose and treat various conditions. However, AI algorithms can analyze medical images, such as X-rays and MRIs, to identify abnormalities or potential diseases. This can help veterinarians make more accurate and timely diagnoses, leading to improved treatment outcomes.
AI can also assist in the development of personalized treatment plans for animals. By analyzing data from similar cases, AI algorithms
can recommend the most effective condition, medical history, and genetic factors. This personalized approach ensures that each animal receives the best possible care, tailored to their specific needs.
AI-powered monitoring systems are another area where veterinary medicine is benefiting from AI technology. These systems can continuously monitor an animal’s vital signs, such as heart rate, temperature, and respiratory, rate, and alert veterinarians if any abnormalities are detected. This real-time monitoring allows for early intervention and can prevent potential health crises.
Furthermore, AL algorithms can analyze large datasets to identify patterns and trends in animal health. By analyzing historical data, AI can predict the likelihood of certain diseases or conditions developing in animals. This predictive analytics approach enables veterinarians to take preventive measures and provide proactive care, ultimately improving the overall health and well-being of animals.
AI is also playing a crucial role in veterinary research and drug development. With the help of AI algorithms, researchers can analyze vast amounts of scientific literature, clinical trials, and genetic data to identify potential
targets for new drugs or treatments. This accelerates the drug discovery process and allows for more efficient development of novel therapies for animals.
AI can also assist in the identification of genetic markers associated with certain diseases in animals. By analyzing genomic data, AI algorithms can identify genetic variations that may predispose animals to specific conditions. This knowledge can help veterinarians develop targeted screening programs an implement preventive measures to reduce the risk of disease in animals.
AI technology is also transforming veterinary education and training. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) simulations can provide veterinary students with realistic scenarios to practice their skills and gain hands-on experience. These simulations can replicate various medical procedures, allowing students to develop their diagnostic and surgical skills in a safe and controlled environment.
AI powered virtual assistants can also provide veterinary students and practitioners with instant access to a vast amount of medical knowledge and research. These virtual assistants can answer questions, provide evidencebased recommendations, and assist in decision-making, enhancing the learning experience and improving the quality of care provided by veterinarians.
The integration of AI technology in veterinary medicine is revolutionizing animal care in multiple ways. From improving diagnosis and treatment outcomes to enable proactive monitoring and predictive analytics, AI is enhancing the overall quality of veterinary care. Additionally, AI is driving advancements in research, drug development, leading to the discovery of new treatments and therapies for animals. Furthermore, AI is transforming veterinary education and training, providing students and practitioners with innovative tools and resources to enhance their skills and knowledge.
As AI continues to evolve, the possibilities for its application in veterinary medicine are endless. With ongoing advancements in machine learning and data analysis, AI has the potential to further improve animal health outcomes and shape the future of veterinary medicine. As veterinarians embrace AI technology, they will be able to provide more precise, personalized, and effective care to the animals they serve.
“AI won’t replace veterinarians but veterinarians that use AI will replace those who don’t [use AI].” [Kraft D. ACVIM Forum]
Napa Personal Pet Care Inc. is currently using it to do research searches, therapeutic choices, drug interactions, diagnosis, and treatment options. We are actively investigating using it for “talk to type“ medical records as well.

disease progression in people with the most common form of the disease, Relapsing/Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. However, much needs to be done in the treatment of the more serious form, Primary Progressive MS. New treatments are being tested that show promise. It is the funding generated by events like Crush MS that will help to ensure that researchers can continue their work towards a future free of this disease.
Every year Reid Family Vineyards is bursting with the energy of celebration and support of people living with this disease. It is truly heartwarming to spend a glorious summer afternoon in a small, family-operated winery with people dancing, laughing, drinking great wine and feasting on fabulous local cuisine. The best part is knowing
that your attendance is helping to improve the lives of people struggling with the effects of this debilitating disease. As this is the event’s 10th anniversary, large photos of people living their lives wholeheartedly, in spite of Multiple Sclerosis will be featured throughout the winery.
Guests will sample wines from multiple wineries, including Reid Family Vineyards, Grgich Hills, McKahn Wines, Fontanella, Prime Solum, J. Gregory, Frias, Silverado, Naked Wines, Anarchist, Young Inglewood,
Llamas Family, Over/Under, Olivia Brion + Cantadora, Grape Culture, Jessup, Innumero Wines, Crane Family, Flying Lady, Handwritten, Knight’s Ridge and more.
Everyone will also be able to enjoy delicious bites from several local restaurants. Cocina Severiano will be offering their fresh birria tacos with homemade tortillas, as well as Ceviche de Camaron. There will be shrimp and sausage off the grill, as well as an assortment of gourmet bites. To top off your
culinary experience, this year Crush MS is featuring Quail Point chocolates and soft serve ice cream.
To help you work off a little of those delicious calories, you can move and groove to the music of California Zephyr.
An exciting live auction will feature such fantastic opportunities as an 8-day/7night stay at a luxury four bedroom/four bath condo in Costa Rica, an 8-day stay at an amazing villa in Croatia,
and getaway for two to a four-star resort in Santa Barbara, complete with a gourmet Mexican dinner at Santa Mezcal Restaurant.
There is also a silent auction with tables overflowing with local wines and donations from local businesses.
John Scrum, the host of RealTalkMS will be broadcasting his podcast live from the event, as well.
Crush MS, a nonprofit organization, aims each year to raise over $100,000 to donate to critical MS research and MS programs. Attendees will be able to understand exactly what their contributions have accomplished with the latest report in MS research delivered by Dr. Lucas Kipp of Stanford Hospital.
The Crush MS event was formed when co-founder Kevin Reid attended a book reading by author Ronda Giangreco. Newly diagnosed, he was in search of information about the disease. Ronda recommended Kevin connect with a woman in Napa named Julie Hare who was also diagnosed with MS. Julie’s husband Steve had created a wine called
Counterpunch with the intent of fighting back against diagnosis of MS. After many conversations, Julie and Kevin decided to collaborate on a wine tasting fundraising event and call it Crush MS. The first event was such a success they decided to create a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing people together with great wine to find the cause and cure of Multiple Sclerosis. Over the last 10 years, the organization has donated over $600,000 to research at Stanford University and UCSF, the International progressive MS Alliance, The National MS Society, the MS Achievement Center in Sacramento and Canine Companions for Independence.
Tickets can be purchased at crushms.org for $100 or at the door for $120, with a 50% discount for attendees with Multiple Sclerosis.
As parking is limited, guests are asked to please arrive via Uber or park at the nearby school, leaving parking in front of the venue for those with limited mobility.

OOver 22,000 people visit the Napa County Historical Society each year. Questions about historic Napa abound — Who settled Napa Valley historically and when? What did they do? Where did they come from? Why did they come to Napa?
People have migrated into Napa Valley from time immemorial, making the Valley their home. Early migration patterns and numbers are cloaked in the mists of time and although we can see remnants of industries and lifestyles, we only vaguely understand migration through archaeology. The first mass migration into the Valley that is historically documented began in the early 1800s when both Mexico and Russia started exploring the area and erecting settlements. Beginning in the 1820s with Mexican independence from Spain, the governing families of Alta California dispensed land grants as a way of solidifying control over the area. The final, and only Mexican mission was founded in Sonoma, which became the governing seat for both Sonoma and Napa Valleys. Napa Valley, already settled and controlled by the Wappo and Patwin/Wintu peoples boasted several large settlements and numerous smaller villages. Some of the First Peoples’ place names are still around today, such as Napa, Mayacamas, Tulocay, Soscol, and Yajome.
Between 1836 and 1846, General Vallejo and Governors at Monterey issued fourteen land grants for land in the Napa Valley beginning with 11,887 and 7,000 acre-ranchos to George Yount and Nicolas Higuera, respectfully. Both men adopted the names of the local villages that their ranchos encompassed, creating Rancho Caymus and Rancho Entre Napa.
The custom of preserving the First People place names was unusual but ten of the fourteen Napa ranchos reflect the names of the nearest First People communities. By 1846, with the last Mexican Land Grant in Napa, ranchos controlled over 270,684 acres across the Valley and smaller adjacent valleys. The families that developed the ranchos were a mix of Californios and naturalized Mexican citizens who had befriended George Yount during his trapping days in New Mexico. These families lent their names to history and today we have streets named for Cayetano Juarez and Salvador Vallejo, and valleys named for Julian Pope and Joseph Chiles.
In the mid 1840s, wagon trains began crossing the Rocky Mountains bringing settlers directly out of the Midwest to California. These men and their families brought skills with them that they bartered with the Rancho owners

for land. William and Kitty Fowler traded the Bales William’s carpentry skills for 500 acres of land at the top of the Valley. A young Pennsylvanian named Nathan Coombs arrived in Napa and purchased land from Salvador Vallejo’s Rancho Napa. In 1847, Coombs petitioned the Mexican government to establish a town, which carried the name of the rancho and thus the First People community, Napa. The twist came when young Coombs, a descendant from English stock of the small hamlet in Yorkshire called Nappa, added an extra ‘P’ to his map of the proposed town. The extra ‘P’ was rejected and crossed off the map, but the mystery of the spelling took hold and can be seen in some modern branding such as “Nappa Leather.”
The folks coming into Napa Valley from the Midwest resisted becoming Mexican citizens and brought with them the
perspectives of Southern Society and slavery. Their resistance grew into the Bear Flag Revolt. Already decimated by diseases, the First People’s numbers in the Valley further dwindled due to enslavement, massacres, and genocide. Throughout the 1840s, ranching, viticulture, and farming grew with immigrants arriving weekly into the Valley, including the surviving members of the Graves family after their harrowing experience in the Donner Party. While ranching and farming attracted families from the Midwest, viticulture attracted immigrants from Germany and Switzerland. Today, we have Krug and Beringer as reminders of the early roots of the wine industry.
Once Mexico ceded California to the United States, the immigration floodgates burst open. Thousands of immigrants began arriving by wagon train and ship. By the early 1850s, the face of Napa was quite diverse. California’s Economic Census of 1852 recorded 1083 people living in Napa Valley. The Irish arrived and opened hotels and restaurants in Napa. Sam Brannan bought land at the top of the Valley renaming Agua Caliente, Calistoga, with the intention of making the Valley’s mineral waters and hot springs a resort destination. In the southern end of the Valley, the
Juarez, Higueras, and Fly families produced enough wheat to make Napa the second-largest wheatproducing area in the state.
By the 1860s, Napa’s growing viticulture needed labor and active recruitment of Chinese immigrants began. The arrival of Chinese immigrants made the first fluorescence of Napa Valley winemaking possible. Although the Chinatowns of Napa and St. Helena no longer exist, the numerous rock walls and wine caves throughout the Valley stand testament to their contributions. By 1870, Napa’s population had grown from just over 1,000 to

over 7,000 and the religious centers of the Valley reflect the burgeoning ethnic diversity. There were Anglicans, Baptists, Catholics, Episcopalians, Jews, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Taoists.
In the waning years of the 19th century, Italians began immigrating into the Valley taking over the labor force in the vineyards. As immigrants flocked to the Valley growing the population by leaps and bounds, the diversity could be heard on the streets, tasted in the restaurants, and seen in the newspaper advertisements. Spanish, English, German, Chinese, Italian, and French could be heard in a single block. However, at the turn of the 20th century with the spread of phylloxera, World War I, the Influenza Pandemic, and the Temperance Movement, the wine industry collapsed, and fruit and nut orchards took over. By the end of the first hundred years of historic immigration, Napa’s population plateaued at around 20,000 and the succeeding Great Depression and World War insulated Napa Valley for the next 50 years.
The second season of Friday Nights in the Park begins July 5 from 6 to 10 PM in Veterans Park, at the corner of Third and Main Streets in Napa. It’s a free, outdoor musical event that got rave reviews last year, except for one thing – people loved it, and also hated that it only lasted four weeks. According to Bill La Liberte, Executive Director of the Downtown Napa Association (DNA), which organizes the event, the group had to dig deep to come up with additional funding to stretch it out. The good news is that they were successful – this year, Friday Nights in the Park will last for five weeks, through August 2.
“It costs a lot of money to put on an event, much less doing it
every week for multiple weeks,” said La Liberte. “And this is just one of the free events we host. The DNA also puts on the annual Hometown Halloween trick-or-treating event and the Napa Christmas Parade. We can’t do it all alone, and depend on the generosity of community sponsors to share in the costs.” People should know that the DNA is committed to keeping all of its events going. “We love these events as much as anybody.”
Friday Nights in the Park was born when after seventeen years, Napa City Nights called it quits.

(DNA) and a life-long lover of live music, reacted immediately when the event announced the “retirement” of the summer series. “We have to figure out how to keep this alive. We also have to make it bigger than ever,” she had said.
“We were super happy about the direction the DNA took and that they are keeping the music going,” said Chris Chesbrough, who with his wife, Sue, and a dozen other volunteers staged Napa City Nights for its entire run. “Chefs Market was the model for how live music is done in Napa. The DNA ran that, and they are the perfect group to run Friday Nights in the Park.” As a musician, Chesbrough understands that both musicians and the attendees are crucial parts of the mix. “Napa has a very cool community of musicians. The audience is just as important as the music is.”
One change the DNA made is to only feature two bands a night,
to limit the down time between band set ups. The July 12 event will feature People of the Earth, who regularly sell out local events, and Dennis Johnson, who has been described as a world-class slide guitar player. The series ends August 2 with Self Proclaimed Heroes, a local and popular cover band, and Tom Rigney & Flambeau, which specializes in “blazing Cajun and Zydeco two-steps, low-down Blues, funky New Orleans grooves, Boogie Woogie piano and Roots Rock and Roll.” How’s that for an encore week? “The decision to go with two bands each night instead of the three from past years, focusing on more playing time and really good bands, got great feedback,” said La Liberte.
This is a community effort in every respect. Downtown Napa property owners, operating as the Property Owners Improvement District (PBID) has been a presenting sponsor for both years. Bank of Marin, the founding and continuing sponsor of

Napa’s Hometown Halloween, has joined in the production of Friday Nights in the Park. And not enough can be said for the support of the City of Napa, from permitting to event logistics. Without the support of these sponsors, there would be no event.
This year, Main Street will be closed directly in front of Veterans Park, from Second to Third Streets. “We’ll have food vendors there, to make it easier to get to them.” said La Liberte. “We are also bringing back free valet bicycle parking, which lots of people took advantage of last year.” Light food and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for sale. Low-back chairs are permitted, but anyone spreading out a blanket may have to remove it or share it with others as the crowd grows. Visit DoNapa.com for more details.

Imagine losing a pound a day!Welcome to Napa Weightloss.net! Our unique medically supervised weightless program has helped people lose the weight and keep it off.
By using a medically supervised weightless program we design a Healthy Safe NO SURGERY program that works.
It’s been working since 2012 when Dr. DAVID EADE developed this program after watching his patients suffer through another USDA high carbohydrate recommended program.
“I was just tired of watching patients suffer! I developed this program to help make a big impact on health!”
Patients lose weight consistently and with the help of science they now have tools to use for the rest of their life to keep the weight off!
Because it’s a medically supervised program we can use some of the latest weight loss meds when hormones interfere with normal weightloss. But when the recommendations are combined with the right medication the results are even better!
