This book was released on 2013 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In continuation of the Covance Primate Symposium Series, the 19th Covance Primate Symposium took place in Münster on 23rd & 24th of May 2012. Altogether, 70 participants representing 43 organisations, gathered for this symposium. The 2012 Primate Symposium focussed on ?Challenges in Nonhuman Primate Research in the 21st Century?. The broad participation and the lively discussions during the symposium underlined the timeliness and importance of this topic. Expert speakers covered four major topics, i.e. biosimilars development: regulatory implications, key considerations and next steps, optimizing nonhuman primate use in nonclinical safety assessment, trends in nonhuman primate developmental & reproductive toxicology (DART) and juvenile toxicity evaluation, and relevance and importance of nonhuman primate models in regulatory toxicology. The development of biosimilar has taken up speed considerably and meanwhile needs to be considered a significant factor of potential drug development, yet there are still some uncertainties und guidelines are under development. With the increased focus on biopharmaceuticals and the associated increase for using nonhuman primates being the relevant animal model, it became necessary to optimize the use of this animal model, e.g. refine study designs and animals numbers but still execute meaningful preclinical studies. It appears that significant progress has been achieved in that context. In the area of nonhuman primate DART and juvenile toxicity evaluation, recent guideline changes had a major impact on species selection, and the experimental design plus the timing of these studies within the preclinical programmes. Finally, given the increasing regulations and justficiations of using nonhuman primates as experimental models. It is paramount to understand the essential and indispensable role that nonhuman primates can play in drug safety evaluation and medical drug development.
Book Synopsis Ethnoprimatology by : Michel T. Waller
Download or read book Ethnoprimatology written by Michel T. Waller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The list of challenges facing nonhuman primates in the 21st century is a long one. The expansion of palm oil plantations to feed a growing consumer class is eating away at ape and monkey habitats in Southeast Asia and Central Africa. Lemurs are hunted for food in the poorest parts of Madagascar while monkeys are used as medicine in Brazil. Traditional cultural beliefs are maintaining demand for animal body parts in West African markets while viral YouTube videos of “cute” and “cuddly” lorises have increased their market value as pets and endangered their populations. These and other issues are addressed in this book by leading researchers in the field of ethnoprimatology, the study of human/nonhuman primate interactions that combines traditional primatological methodologies with cultural anthropology in an effort to better understand the nuances of our economic, ritualistic, and ecologic relationships.
Book Synopsis The Psychological Well-Being of Nonhuman Primates by : National Research Council
Download or read book The Psychological Well-Being of Nonhuman Primates written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-11-03 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 1985 amendment to the Animal Welfare Act requires those who keep nonhuman primates to develop and follow appropriate plans for promoting the animals' psychological well-being. The amendment, however, provides few specifics. The Psychological Well-Being of Nonhuman Primates recommends practical approaches to meeting those requirements. It focuses on what is known about the psychological needs of primates and makes suggestions for assessing and promoting their well-being. This volume examines the elements of an effective care program--social companionship, opportunities for species-typical activity, housing and sanitation, and daily care routines--and provides a helpful checklist for designing a plan for promoting psychological well-being. The book provides a wealth of specific and useful information about the psychological attributes and needs of the most widely used and exhibited nonhuman primates. Readable and well-organized, it will be welcomed by animal care and use committees, facilities administrators, enforcement inspectors, animal advocates, researchers, veterinarians, and caretakers.

Book excerpt: The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) was estab lished in 1978 to stimulate and support scientific research and educational programs related to nutrition, toxicology, and food safety, and to encourage cooperation in these programs among scientists in universities, industry, and government agencies to assist in the resolution of health and safety issues. To supplement and enhance these efforts, ILSI has made a major commitment to supporting programs to harmonize toxicologic testing, to advance a more uniform interpreta tion of bioassay results worldwide, to promote a common understanding of lesion classifications, and to encourage wide discussion of these topics among scientists. The Mo nographs on the Pathology of Laboratory Animals are de signed to facilitate communication among those involved in the safety testing of foods, drugs, and chemicals. The complete set will cover all organ systems and is intended for use by pathologists, toxicologists, and others con cerned with evaluating toxicity and carcinogenicity stu dies. The international nature of the project - as reflected in the composition of the editorial board and the diversity of the authors and editors -strengthens our expectations that understanding and cooperation will be improved worldwide through the series. Alex Malaspina President International Life Sciences Institute Preface This book, on Nonhuman Primates, is the eleventh volume of a set pre pared under the sponsorship of the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI).

Download or read book Use of Laboratory Animals in Biomedical and Behavioral Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific experiments using animals have contributed significantly to the improvement of human health. Animal experiments were crucial to the conquest of polio, for example, and they will undoubtedly be one of the keystones in AIDS research. However, some persons believe that the cost to the animals is often high. Authored by a committee of experts from various fields, this book discusses the benefits that have resulted from animal research, the scope of animal research today, the concerns of advocates of animal welfare, and the prospects for finding alternatives to animal use. The authors conclude with specific recommendations for more consistent government action.
Book Synopsis Chimpanzees in Biomedical and Behavioral Research by : National Research Council
Download or read book Chimpanzees in Biomedical and Behavioral Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, experiments using chimpanzees have been instrumental in advancing scientific knowledge and have led to new medicines to prevent life-threatening and debilitating diseases. However, recent advances in alternate research tools have rendered chimpanzees largely unnecessary as research subjects. The Institute of Medicine, in collaboration with the National Research Council, conducted an in-depth analysis of the scientific necessity for chimpanzees in NIH-funded biomedical and behavioral research. The committee concludes that while the chimpanzee has been a valuable animal model in the past, most current biomedical research use of chimpanzees is not necessary, though noted that it is impossible to predict whether research on emerging or new diseases may necessitate chimpanzees in the future.
