Pathology of the Developing Mouse provides, in so far as feasible, one complete reference on the design, analysis, and interpretation of abnormal findings that may be detected in developing mice before and shortly after birth. In particular, this book is designed specifically to be not only a "how to do" manual for developmental pathology experimentation in mice but, more importantly, a "how to interpret" resource for pathologists and other biomedical scientists faced for the first or hundredth time with defining the significance of distorted features in some fantastic...

With laboratory animals, especially rabbits, playing such an important role in biomedical research, the humane care of these animals is an ongoing concern. This guide presents basic information and common procedures in detail to provide a quick reference for researchers in a laboratory setting. Now illustrated in color, this second edition of a bestseller demonstrates management practices and technical procedures with numerous figures and tables, including new tables on anesthetic agents, methods of euthanasia, recommended needle sizes, injection sites, approximate values for injection, as...

Whilst the health sciences are a broad and diverse area, and includes public health, primary care, health psychology, psychiatry and epidemiology, the research methods and data analysis skills required to analyse them are very similar. Moreover, the ability to appraise and conduct research is emphasised within the health sciences and students are expected increasingly to do both.

Introduction to Research Methods and Data Analysis in the Health Sciences presents a balanced blend of quantitative research methods, and the most widely used techniques for collecting...

Cattle, Priests, and Progress in Medicine was first published in 1978. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.

The author shows that over the centuries many of the most significant breakthroughs in improving humans health have been closely associated with observations and experiments on animals other than man. Because human medical progress has been so dependent on veterinary studies, he urges that schools of veterinary...

The design of an adequate surgical model, like the choice of the animal model itself, is extremely important for obtaining reliable valuable data. Written for biomedical researcher this manual on the surgery of the rat summarizes a series of techniques that have been applied at the Bone Biology Laboratories, School of Medicine, Rosario National University, Argentina. Stopping short of an exhaustive analysis of the techniques, the manual describes the basis of each surgical technique, the necessary materials including catheters, precautions to consider, the methodology to apply and the...

Now viewed as its own scientific discipline, clinical trial methodology encompasses the methods required for the protection of participants in a clinical trial and the methods necessary to provide a valid inference about the objective of the trial. Drawing from the authors' courses on the subject as well as the first author's more than 30 years working in the pharmaceutical industry, Clinical Trial Methodology emphasizes the importance of statistical thinking in clinical research and presents the methodology as a key component of clinical research.
