Animal & Veterinary Sciences: the branch of medicine that deals with diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of all disease, disorder and injury in non-human animals. This includes the application of medical, diagnostic, surgical, dental, and therapeutic principles to companion, domestic, exotic, wildlife, and production animals.
There is growing consumer and patient demand for products containing cannabidiol (CBD) and other constituents of the cannabis plant, due to their purported medicinal benefits for a myriad of...
Compassion fatigue, or the state of chronic stress for those caring for people or animals in distress, can affect anyone working in the lab animal sciences. This can even affect employe...
Preclinical translational imaging, and specifically molecular imaging methods such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as well as magne...
The translation gap in biomedical research can be attributed in part to differences in how outcomes are assessed in preclinical research and in the clinic. Reasons for these mismatches includ...
Analgesics are commonly employed drugs for perioperative procedures and are required for painful procedures. They include not only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) but also opio...
Assessment of how changes in husbandry affect an animal can be challenging as most common methods of assessment, such as corticosterone levels, are more reliable for assessment of acute stres...
Digital technology is improving the speed and accuracy of all the world’s work processes and activities, the including the research vivarium. This presentation will address some...
There is a growing debate about the usefulness of animal studies in biomedical research and drug development. Some of the challenges in translation from animals to human patients may be from...
Nonterminal blood collection from mice is frequently performed in biomedical research. Multiple phlebotomy sites and restraint techniques are available to investigators. Methods that minimize...
The aerodigestive tract is a combination of the respiratory tract and the upper portion of the digestive tract. As these two organ systems share many of the necessary structures used for swal...
Introduction:The cannulation of the cisterna magna in the rat is a valuable model for in-vivo sampling of cerebrospinal fluid for studying delivery of new drugs into the central nervous sys...
Compassion Fatigue can affect all those that care for and work with laboratory animals, including husbandry staff, veterinary staff, researchers, and other support staff. It is known as the &...
The ability to rapidly and accurately identify pain in mice is critical for providing them optimal care and welfare. To meet this need, we developed and validated the Grooming Transfer Test (...
Tuberculosis (TB) is the No.1 cause of death due to a single infectious agent in the world today. According to the global report from World Health Organization, one third of world population...
This session will explore the interpretation of multi-species scattergrams in normal and pathologic conditions. Numerous case studies will be reviewed....
Conspecific aggression is a common problem amongst laboratory housed male mice. While C57BL/6 are not the most aggressive strain we house, they are exceedingly common, and dealing with...
There is a considerable interest and need for evidence-based recommendations regarding the social housing of laboratory rabbits. This presentation will review the principles surrounding the s...
Welfare First, a programme developed to recognise the importance of welfare within the life sciences sector and to meet the aims of its position statement. Animal welfare is a priority,...
Healthcare is becoming more proactive and data-rich than anything before possible – and will increasingly focus on maintaining and enhancing wellness more than just reacting to disease....
Cell growth and regulation involve vast networks of interacting DNAs, RNAs, proteins, lipids and sugars. Through a fundamental strategy of life, these interactions push multiple cellular proc...
In this era of precision molecular medicine, knowledge changes rapidly and is highly dispersed. Physicians and patients are faced with conflicting expert opinions and a shortage of acti...
Despite vast investment for decades in cancer research and development, cancer is still among the leading causes of death worldwide and its toll is expected to rise by about 70% over the next...
Clinical whole genome sequencing (cWGS) is rapidly gaining acceptance as cost is decreasing and success rates in identifying disease-causing variants are increasing. While the application of...
Although there have been enormous advances in gene sequencing, the results give massive amounts of data that only point to disease risk. Major health factors, including diet, lifestyle, envir...
