A Colour Atlas of the Anatomy of Small Laboratory Animals, Volume I
Colour Atlas of the Anatomy of Small Laboratory Animals discusses the five principal species of small mammal used in biomedical research. The atlas illustrates in detail the anatomy of the rabbit and guinea pig. It permits comparisons between closely related species and highlights morphological differences of clinical significance. Detailed contents and illustrations grouped by body regions enable scientists to locate material rapidly. The Colour Atlas of the Anatomy of Small Laboratory Animal...
Treatment Episode Data Set (Teds) 2006 Highlights: National Admissions to Subststance Abuse Treatment Services
Hdbk Lab Animal Sci
'A new book by John McLeod is always a treat and, like good qualitative research, takes the reader by surprise, and shows him or her something new. The revelation to me in this book is its focus on philosophy (rather than psychology) and on John's insistence that qualitative research is rooted in a mixture of phenomenology and hermeneutics. Those of us engaged in qualitative research are challenged to underpin our work with a deeper awareness of relevant philosophy with Chapters 2, 3 and 4 offer...
Novel Therapeutics from Modern Biotechnology (Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology, #137)
A cover story of Business Week Magazine in January 1984 stated "Biotech Comes of Age". In February 1986, Venture Magazine had a cover article entitled "The Biotech Revolution is Here". This article went on to say "New Genetic Technologies Will Transform Our Lives". These announcements were made many years after the first biotechnology companies, such as Genentech, Cetus, Amgen and Biogen, were formed-to commercialize the "New Biology". . At the time of writing this book, there are over 1300 biot...
Proteome Research: Mass Spectrometry (Principles and Practice)
Recent advances in large-scale DNA sequencing technology have made it possible to sequence the entire genome of an organism. Attention is now turning to the analysis of the product of the genome, the proteome, which is the set of proteins being expressed by a cell. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis can be used to create cellular protein maps which give a quantitative and qualitative picture of the proteome. Mass spectrometry is the method of choice for the rapid large-scale idenfification of t...
Praise for the First Edition"This book is easy to read and has many informative illustrations…I would strongly recommend this book to those interested in a broad introduction to the care and use of laboratory guinea pigs as well as to laboratory animal technicians, managers, veterinarians and scientists who do not have direct access to large, well organized animal resource units with extensive library facilities."—John D. Young, Contemporary TopicsThe Laboratory Guinea Pig provides a compact and...
This book is an introduction to concepts needed in the different parts of the process of doing science. It includes topics that will help achieve clarity in the posing of scientific questions, the design of ways to answer the questions, and the methods to evaluate the results and effectively communicate scientific information. It will be useful to the professional or student in the practice of writing papers, books or journal articles and can be appliedto most any area of science that requires p...
It is now accepted that the first cells derived from simpler "objects", and that their descendants became more and more complicated and ordered until their evolutionary transformation into modern cells, namely, cells endowed with the same basic structures and mechanisms as those existing today. Although the appearance of the first modern cells goes back at least two billion years, many scholars believe that it occurred almost four billion years ago. In that case, the Earth's formation, which too...
CRC Handbook of Laboratory Model Systems for Microbial Ecosystems, Volume II
by Julian.W.T. Wimpenny
These volumes present the main classes of useful laboratory model systems used to study microbial ecosystems, with emphasis on the practical details for the use of each model. The most commonly used model, the homogeneous fermenter, is featured along with linked homogeneous culture systems, film fermenters, and percolating columns. Additionally, gel-stabilized culture systems which incorporate molecular diffusion as their main solute transfer mechanism and the microbial colony are explained....
Phase Transitions in Cell Biology
Phase transitions occur throughout nature. The most familiar example is the one that occurs in water – the abrupt, discontinuous transition from a liquid to a gas or a solid, induced by a subtle environmental change. Practically magical, the ever-so-slight shift of temperature or pressure can induce an astonishing transition from one entity to another entity that bears little resemblance to the first. So "convenient" a feature is seen throughout the domains of physics and chemistry, and one is...

Critical Care Management for Laboratory Mice and Rats (Laboratory Animal Pocket Reference)
by F. Claire Hankenson
For critical care of laboratory rodents, there is a scarcity of sources for comprehensive, feasible, and response-oriented information on clinical interventions specific to spontaneous and induced models of disease. With the more complex cases that need critical care management, many treatment approaches to veterinary emergencies cannot be applied directly to the laboratory rodent. The first text of its kind devoted to the challenges of critical care management for laboratory rodents, Critical C...
Non-Clinical Vascular Infusion Technology, Volume I
by Owen P. Green and Guy Healing
Intravenous infusion is a necessary mode of delivery for many pharmaceuticals currently on the market or undergoing clinical trials. The technique of prolonged intravenous delivery in conscious, free-moving animal models has broadened the opportunity to study and evaluate the safety and efficacy of these therapeutic products. For the first time, the collective sciences involved in the understanding of this mode of drug delivery are brought together in one publication.Non-Clinical Vascular Infusi...
